[AS3] gotoAndStop(?) wont work

1

Hello there.
So i made an attack animation for my game character and placed it on the “X” button with the following code:




var xKeyIsDown:Boolean = false;


stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,PressAKey);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP,ReleaseAKey);


function PressAKey(event: KeyboardEvent):void
{
     if(event.keyCode==Keyboard.X)
    {
        xKeyIsDown=true;
    }
}
function ReleaseAKey(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
    if(event.keyCode==Keyboard.X)
    {
        xKeyIsDown=false;
    }
}


circle.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveTheCircle);

function moveTheCircle(event:Event):void
{
    if(xKeyIsDown)
    {
        circle.gotoAndStop(5);
    }
}

So the problem with this is that when i am ingame and i push the x key the animation will stop on frame 1 (the attack animation i made), but i dont get why because theres no “stop()” code in the animation and the main time line code seems ok.

The code i wrote is cuted down so you see only the bits related to button X and the animation.

PS: sorry for my english.
