gotoAndPlay problem

1

Hey all, having a little problem with the following actionscript…

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

var moving;

init = function() {
	_root['but_' + 0].origX = 9.1;
	_root['but_' + 0].origY = 332.2;
	_root['but_' + 0].openX = _root['but_' + 0]._x;
	_root['but_' + 0].openY = _root['but_' + 0]._y;
	_root['but_' + 0].origW = 79.3;
	_root['but_' + 0].origH = 75;
	_root['but_' + 0].openW = _root['but_' + 0]._width;
	_root['but_' + 0].openH = _root['but_' + 0]._height;
	_root['but_' + 0].opened = true;
	
	for (i = 1; i < 10; i++) {
		_root['but_' + i].origX = _root['but_' + i]._x;
		_root['but_' + i].origY = _root['but_' + i]._y;
		_root['but_' + i].openX = _root._width/2;
		_root['but_' + i].openY = 21;
		_root['but_' + i].origW = _root['but_' + i]._width;
		_root['but_' + i].origH = _root['but_' + i]._height;
		_root['but_' + i].openW = _root['but_' + i]._width*4;
		_root['but_' + i].openH = _root['but_' + i]._height*4;
		_root['but_' + i].opened = false;
	}
	_root['but_' + 1].openX -= _root['but_' + 1]._width*4;
	_root['but_' + 2].openX -= _root['but_' + 2]._width*4;
	_root['but_' + 7].openX -= _root['but_' + 7]._width*4;
	_root['but_' + 8].openX -= _root['but_' + 8]._width*4;
	_root['but_' + 9].openX -= _root['but_' + 9]._width*4;
	
	for (i=0; i<10; i++) {
		_root['but_'+i].onRollOver = _root['but_'+i].onDragOver = function() {
			if (this.opened == false && _root['moving'] == false) {
				this.gotoAndStop(2);
			}
		}
		_root['but_'+i].onRollOut = _root['but_'+i].onDragOut = function() {
			if (this.opened == false && _root['moving'] == false) {
				this.gotoAndStop(1);
			}
		}
		_root['but_'+i].onRelease = function() {
			if (this.opened == false && _root['moving'] == false) {
				for (j = 0; j < 10; j++) {
					if (_root['but_'+j].opened == true) {
						_root['but_'+j].closeMenu(this);
					}
				}
			}
		}
		
		_root['but_'+i].openMenu = function () {
			_root['moving'] = true;
			var moveX:Tween = new Tween(this, "_x", Regular.easeInOut, this.origX, this.openX, 0.5, true);
			var moveY:Tween = new Tween(this, "_y", Regular.easeInOut, this.origY, this.openY, 0.5, true);			
			var growW:Tween = new Tween(this, "_width", Regular.easeInOut, this.origW, this.openW, 0.5, true);
			var growH:Tween = new Tween(this, "_height", Regular.easeInOut, this.origH, this.openH, 0.5, true);
			but = this;
			growH.onMotionFinished = function () {
				but.opened = true;
				_root['moving'] = false;
				but.gotoAndPlay(3);
			}
		}
		
		_root['but_'+i].closeMenu = function(but_in) {
			_root['moving'] = true;
			this.gotoAndStop(1);
			var closeX:Tween = new Tween(this, "_x", Regular.easeInOut, this.openX, this.origX, 0.5, true);
			var closeY:Tween = new Tween(this, "_y", Regular.easeInOut, this.openY, this.origY, 0.5, true);			
			var shrinkW:Tween = new Tween(this, "_width", Regular.easeInOut, this.openW, this.origW, 0.5, true);
			var shrinkH:Tween = new Tween(this, "_height", Regular.easeInOut, this.openH, this.origH, 0.5, true);
			this.opened = false;
			shrinkH.onMotionFinished = function () {
				_root['moving'] = false;
				but_in.openMenu();
			}
		}
	}
	_root['but_' + 0].gotoAndPlay(3);
}

moving = false;
init();

The problem is that the final root['but’ + 0].gotoAndPlay(3); part isnt working, it is behaving as if it was a gotoAndStop();. I have also tried putting this further up in the init function (after other but_0 values are set), and have also tried it outsie of the init function, being called before and after it, all with no luck…everything else seems to be working ok, although i did notice through a few traces that my init function was being called twice, however when i commented the final call of init() down the bottom out, it was not called at all…im thinking this is symptomatic of my gotoAndPlay problem…

cheers for your help

one other thing…the gotoAndPlay in the “openMenu()” and “closeMenu()” functions do work…any thoughts?

still having issues…the code has changed a bit, however i still havent had any luck figuring out the inherent flaw in it…im thinking my logic has gone wrong somewhere, but i cant figure out where…any help would be great…
