Hey everyone,

I was wondering if it’s possible to set up a listener that is triggered when a movieclip hits a certain frame number.

I was thinking it would go something like this:

myClip.addEventListener(Event.ENTERFRAME, frameListener);

function frameListener(e:event):void {  
if(myClip.currentFrame == 26){  
myClip.stop();  
myClip.removeEventListener(Event.ENTERFRAME, frameListener);  
}  
}

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
