3D Carousels affect Help

Is there actually a way to go to a frame when you click the icons

What?

when i click the button it shows me wat i wrote in the XML but i want it to go to another frame or scene

HELP US HELP YOU!

Please describe what you have, what your trying to do, what isn't happening, what should be happening, post your code, etc.

Imagine we don't have any idea about your project (because we don't) and explain it all out.

i have made 3d carousel with 6 buttons loaded via XML, in actionscript 2.0. It's set up to so that when you click a button, the other 5 buttons fade out and the 6th(the one you clicked) remains in front on the page.

but i don't want the xml things to come up
when i click it i want it to go to another frame or scene

Ahhh got it. We talked about this project a while ago didn't we.

any way you should be able to change this line (bottom of the second chunk of code)
to


The problem with this is that you will lose your navigation because the carousel will not exist on that other frame/scene. I would think a better option would be to make another swf or movieclip that has whatever content you want to show. Then make that appear in place of the xml content.

I am using the same action script as above but can not figure out how to link to a URL when I click on one of the icons. I would like my icons to open an entirely new web page. Any help here would greatly appreciated.

replace the gotoAndStop() with getURL("htmlpage.html");
