Links not working with rollover

[johnsobey webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I have a button with a rollover that is supposed to jump the user to another section of the score when clicked.

I don't see why I would need any conplex code, but the basic lingo I've won't jump to another section. The rollover works, but not the link.

The code I used is as follows:

(Script for Sprite 2)
on mouseEnter
set the visible of sprite 9 to TRUE
end

on mouseLeave
set the visible of sprite 9 to FALSE
end


(Script for Sprite 9)
on mouseUp me
go to frame "Multimedia"
end mouseUp



If anyone can see what I'm doing wrong, I'd really appreciate the help.
Thanks

This is a tricky one...
This script won´t work because making a sprite NOT visible stops that sprite
form detecting events.

When ARE OVER sprite 2 you make sprite 9 VISIBLE
When you ARE OUT of sprite 2 you make sprite 9 INVISIBLE ok?

So there´s no way for you to able to click or mouseUp sprite 9 ever...
because It will always be invisible. In order for you to mouseUp sprite 9
it needs to be VISIBLE and in order for it to be VISIBLE you must be OVER
sprite 2 and being over sprite 2 doesn´t allow you to mouseUp sprite 9 which
brings us back to the beggining.

If you tell me what visual effect are you tring to achieve I would be more
than glad to help you.

Arturo is right - use blend instead of visible. If you set the blend to 0,
the sprite will still receive events.

I changed the Lingo to use the Blend property instead of Visible.

However, the code to jump to another area of the score still doesn't work. I've placed the code in every possible sprite, but no matter where it's placed, it won't work.

Thanks for the help so far!

You should at least have a script in the frame you are heading to... so you
can tell if it works or not...

place this script in the frame you want to get into:

on exitFrame
go to the frame
put "I GOT HERE!!"
end

Look at the Message window and see your I got here message... If you don´t
see it then something´s wrong.

Is it possible the frame is not labelled precisely "Multimedia"? Watch out for
leading/trailing spaces.

Type

go "Multimedia"

in the message window. Does it go there?
