How to loop through frames

programming flash
1

Hi I have a question I want to be able to loop using gotoAndPlay 3 times through a certain section of frames in my flash movie after 3 times is up I want to be able to continue on to the next frames untill the end of the movie

I guess I am not much of a programmer because I tried good and hard to get this to work

I would like to hear your thoughts on how I could accomplish this thank you

It’s not the best but it will accomplish what you need,
On the third frame place:
[AS]
if(_root.counter == undefined){
_root.counter = 1;
gotoAndPlay(1);
} else if(_root.counter >= 3){
delete _root.counter;
gotoAndPlay(4);
} else {
_root.counter++;
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
[/AS]

There are lots of better ways to accomplish this but that should be the easiest to understand.
Hope that helps,
Shawn

You could simply use

this.counter>=3 ? this.gotoAndPlay(4) : this.gotoAndPlay(1);
this.counter++;

Like I said there are better ways…
