Ok so I am toying with macromedia flash 2004. What I am trying to do= when someone clicks on a thumbnail of a photo the larger displayed picture will slide off the screen to the left and the larger picture of the thumb they clicked on will slide in from the left. I have everything else looking pretty cool, but I am getting kind of frustrated here.
I am sure it cant be explained in a fourm so if someone could just poit me twoard a tutorial for that specific operation, it would be great.
I know it has to be somthing like adding some action script
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay (95)
}
Thanks
Travis
edit: also maybe something describing the difference between button and movie clips.

so you want the small picture ( button ) to slide off the screen and a larger version ( button ) to slide on instead?
why? it slows browsing of the pictures..
how about having a button and the over or down state show the picture instead? |

For the sliding in/out parts, you would have to use multiple frames for each "action" and do a simple motion tween.
I think the actionscript code you posted would work, if on frame 95 you had the current thumbnail slide out and the bigger one slide in. Give it a go and post back?

the on(release) may work, but you can use dot notation to be a little bit faster with it
like this.onRelease=function(){
gotoAndPlay(95);
}
But instead of "95" maybe make a frame label like *start*, then put it in as gotoAndPlay("start");
Also, if you write the script in the first frame of the entire movie, you can consolidate the scripting to one area (for the most part). Then to affect a button, you could use absolute or relative to trigger stuff, like
_root.movie.button.onRelease=
or this.movie.button.onRelease=
Next question is hard to explain. In general, I like the power of movie clips. They can do anything a button can for the most part, and then some. Buttons are useful because they come with some preinstituted frames and work fairly easily. I understand how and when to use both, so I use both, but for the most part, I stick to movieclips.

with multiple images, this would make for a HUGE swf file.

scripting it as mentioned by PShizzy would be better, cleaner, easier to edit, and make for a much smaller movie. stay away from tweening.
