Slide class (Flash Professional only) 709
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.
Example
Suppose that, in the following slide hierarchy, the slide named Intro_bullet_1_1 is the current
slide being viewed (that is,
_root.Presentation.currentSlide._name ==
Intro_bullet_1_1
).
In this case, calling
Intro_bullet_1_1.gotoNextSlide() would navigate to
Intro_bullet_1_2, which is a sibling slide of Intro_bullet_1_1.
However, calling
Intro_bullet_1.gotoNextSlide() would navigate to Intro_bullet_2_1,
the first leaf slide contained by
Intro_bullet_2, which is the next sibling slide of
Intro_bullet_1. Similarly, calling Intro.gotoNextSlide() would navigate to
Results_bullet_1, the first leaf slide contained by the Results slide.
