Pardon my ignorance (i just started with flash about a month ago)but I cant seem to get a variable to work correctly… i think its just a syntax problem
Here’s the situation:
I have a button that sets a variable (called link) to a value
This button also sends the movie to a different section of the movie and plays (which works fine)
When the transport hits the end of that section, i want the movie to jump to a frame which has the same name as the variable value.
My problem is with the syntax i guess on that frame where i want the movie to jump to variable… Does this even make sense?
Perhaps there is an easier way to do this. My goal is to be able to have a series of buttons with different variable values, have the movie play this one little section and jump to the frame that is equal to the variable value.
my code:
The botton code is:
on (release) {set (link, “news”);gotoAndPlay(“in”);}
(which seems to work)
The frame that is supposed to redirect has the code:
gotoAndPlay (link);
again, sorry for the stupidity
