i have a mc, with 3 frames, it has a stop(); on the first frame,
when the ‘n’ key is pressed, i want it to gotoAndStop(2);
this is what i have:
[AS]
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if (key.isDown(78)); {
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}
}
[/AS]
but it just goes straight to the second frame, with out the ‘n’ key being pressed, anyone know why?

on (release, keyPress “n”) {
if (key.isDown(78)) {
trace(“siobi like Man U”);
}
}
after u had check ur code…
then look at this!!!
just change ur MC clips to buttons actions…
change the trace to ur goto statements…
