TimelineLite GotoAndStop(2) ?

[soupking]

Hi everybody, I know...dumbest question ever.

 

But there's no example of this anywhere that I can find.

 

I've got this:

 

public function gotoAndStop(timeOrLabel:*, suppressEvents:Boolean = true):void

 

and this:

 

myTimeline.gotoAndStop(2)

 

I've gone through documentation and examples and I can't figure out how to attach it to movieclips and what the basic syntax is.

function switchMenu(m1:Number, m2:Number, m3:Number, m4:Number)
{		
menu_mc.feature1_mc.gotoAndStop(m1);
menu_mc.feature2_mc.gotoAndStop(m2);
menu_mc.feature3_mc.gotoAndStop(m3);
menu_mc.feature4_mc.gotoAndStop(m4);
}

 

I can't use a variable for a frame value so I was hoping TimelineLite could help. Am I right in asking?

 

As always, thanks for reading. You guys (and you know who you are) have been very helpful.

just to clear things up, gotoAndStop is a valid method of TimelineLite and MovieClip.

Although it wasn't clear in the initial post, it is not soupking's custom function. http://www.greensock.com/as/docs/tween/ ... toAndStop()

 

SoupKing,

 

I'm sorry but I don't really understand the question as I don't see any code pertaining to an actual TimelineLite instance.

 

if menu_mc.feature1_mc is a MovieClip and lets say m1 = 5.

 

if feature1_mc has a frame 5, then

 

menu_mc.feature1_mc.gotoAndStop(m1) should work fine.

 

I don't see how this relates to a TimelineLite/Max though.

I must have the wrong idea about TimelineLite. This must be more of an AS3 issue then than a Greensock issue. I'll see what I can do about this not working.

 

Thanks Carl!
