Slide.gotoNextSlide()
Availability
Flash Player 6 (6.0.79.0).
Edition
Flash MX Professional 2004.
Usage
mySlide.gotoNextSlide()
Parameters
None.
Returns
A Boolean value, or null. The method returns true if it successfully navigated to the next
slide; it returns
false if the presentation is already at the last slide when the method is
invoked (that is, if
currentSlide.nextSlide is null). The method returns null if invoked
on a slide that doesnt contain the current slide.
Description
Method; navigates to the next slide in the slide presentation. As control passes from one slide
to the next, the outgoing slide is hidden and the incoming slide is revealed. If the outgoing
and incoming slides are in different slide subtrees, then all ancestor slides, starting with the
outgoing slide and up to the common ancestor of the incoming and outgoing slides, are
hidden and receive a
hide event. Immediately following, all ancestor slides of the incoming
slide, up to the common ancestor of the outgoing and incoming slide, are made visible and
receive a
reveal event.
Typically, gotoNextSlide() is called on the leaf node that represents the current slide. If
called on a nonleaf node,
someNode, then someNode.gotoNextSlide() advances to the first
leaf node in the next slide or “section.
This method has no effect when invoked on a slide that does not contain the current slide.
This method also has no effect when called from within an
on(hide) or on(reveal) event
handler attached to a slide, if that handler was invoked as a result of slide navigation.
