Goto - midframe button problems

[Toby1979]

I have already tried that. It still says that a ')' or ',' is expected.

This is driving me up the wall now.
Thanks for sticking my me.

This code gives me no errors, did you declare the variable curentframe anywhere like mine?

Code: Select all

var currentframe:String
contact.onRelease = function()
{
if (currentframe != "77")
{
gotoAndPlay("80");
}
}

Hey Scott. I have tried that already mate. Still says that its expecting a ')' or ','.

I'm sure this must be driving you up the wall. It is me! Have a good weekend. I will be spending a bit more time on this next week. Hopefully I can have a proper play and get it sorted.

Thanks mate.

I am still getting an error on the if statement. It is expecting a ')' or ','

Any ideas before I give up complete?

I have this on an actions layer in the movie ('around'). I also have a 'MAIN' movie which is to be affected.

Thanks.

Code: Select all

home.onRelease = function()
{
If (current frame != "77");
{
gotoAndPlay("80");
}

tariffs.onRelease = function()
{
If (current frame != "77");
{
gotoAndPlay("80");
}
contact.onRelease = function()
{
If (current frame != "77");
{
gotoAndPlay("80");
}

find.onRelease = function()
{
If (current frame != "77");
{
gotoAndPlay("80");
}

Here is what it should look like...I get NO errors with this....

Code: Select all

var currentFrame;
home.onRelease = function()
{
if (currentFrame = "77")
gotoAndPlay("80");
}

Look closely at what I have...I removed the ; from after the if statement, I declared the currentFrame variable since it is something you are creating...and you'll need to set it's value to the appropriate amount depending the frame it is on inside the .swf.

P.S. Only declare the "var" once at the top of all of your code, no need to do it multiple times.

Cheers,

Scott

Hi Scott, Sorry mate. I thought you hadn't responded. But I stupidly didn't turn the page in the thread.

Thanks for the code. I am trying to figure it all out. I will do some research into declaring the currentframe var.

As i see it at the moment... I need to set the '77' value???

Because the currentframe will be differnent (due the the 'goto and stop' function), I tried.... !"77"

If currentframe does not equal 77 gotoAndPlay "80"

That didn't have the right effect. I'll keep at it.

Once again. I'm sure your sick of me by now. Thank you SO much.
