copied this code (typewriter effect) which works but the swf file isn't moving
from the scene onto the next. i've only got 2 scenes at the moment but it's not
progressing. please can someone ? thanks
FRAME1
stop();
start_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop(5);
};

FRAME3
var q:Number = 1;
var typeSpeed:Number = 100; // time between letters in milliseconds; smaller
numbers dictate faster typing
var copy:String = "Welcome to the CV of :\n Michael Homer";
function type():Void {
textbox = copy.substring(0, q);
q++;
if (q == copy.length) {
textbox = copy;
clearInterval(typeInterval);
}
}
typeInterval = setInterval(this, "type", typeSpeed);

why would it go to the next scene? you're telling it to stop on frame 1, then go to and stop on frame 5...

It looks as though you are saying gotoAndStop(5) when you mean gotoAndStop(3)...or else your frame3 code should really be in frame 5, if that's where you've put a textbox.

thaks for that interesting reply. i don't know anything about actionscript
hence me asking about something that is so simple to yourself. i just copied it
into flash and voila it worked but the scene didn't move on......
