Hi:

I’m trying to write a code in actionscript. I’m new to flash. The movie is a dice that random 6 number and another movie clip walks the number of frames that the dice sorted.  
There are two movieclips. One is the dice itself and the other is a ball that has a guided path. The ball instance name is “boneco”. And the dice instance name is “dado”. The problem is when I set the currentframe + X to make the ball walk. The movie reads the currentframe always as the first frame of the movieclip. So if the dice sorted 6 and the ball is at frame 7 it goes back to frame 6 instead of going forward because it reads currentframe always as frame 1.

So here is the code.

function sortear (){  
var randomDado: Number = Math.ceil (Math.random ()\*6);

var dado1 = randomDado \<= 1;  
var dado2 = randomDado \<= 2;  
var dado3 = randomDado \<= 3;  
var dado4 = randomDado \<= 4;  
var dado5 = randomDado \<= 5;  
var dado6 = randomDado \<= 6;

if (dado1){  
dado.gotoAndStop (1);  
boneco.nextFrame();

}else if (dado2){  
dado.gotoAndStop (2);  
boneco.gotoAndStop (currentframe + 2);

}  
else if (dado3){  
dado.gotoAndStop (3);  
boneco.gotoAndStop (currentframe + 3);

}  
else if (dado4){  
dado.gotoAndStop (4);  
boneco.gotoAndStop (currentframe + 4);  
}  
else if (dado5){  
dado.gotoAndStop (5);  
boneco.gotoAndStop (currentframe + 5);  
}  
else if (dado6){  
dado.gotoAndStop (6);  
boneco.gotoAndStop (currentframe + 6);  
}  
}

Can someone help me to solve this problem. I just want to make the movieclip boneco walk forward following the number of frames the dice has sorted.

Tks
