Please please help

1 
on (release) = function()
{
    _root.ContentMC.gotoAndStop(2)//frame i want to hold for one second
    setInterval(linkInt,"link",1000) //clear interval command to be in frame last played
    function(link){_root.ContentMC.gotoAndStop(3)};//final frame player stays here
};

that is a code i have written for a button on a website. but i cannot get it to work. can anyone please help?

what i need it to do is to go to the first frame, stop, hold for one second, then go to the second frame. the clear interval command will be in the last frame played. and i cannot just play two frames beside eachother, as they will not always be corrisponding with one another, they will be mixed combinations. that is why it is so important that the code is in the button.

please please help me… :crying:

setInterval(linkInt,“link”,1000)

should be changed to

_root.linkInt = setInterval(link,1000);

then in your final frame

clearInterval(_root.linkInt);

thanx for your help flextnet, but there is still something not working in it, showing the following errors…

Error Symbol=Naivgation, layer=buttons, frame=2:Line 1: ‘{’ expected
on (release) = function()

Error Symbol=Naivgation, layer=buttons, frame=2:Line 2: Statement must appear within on handler
{

with this modified code…

on (release) = function()
{
    _root.ContentMC.gotoAndStop(2)
    _root.linkInt = setInterval(link,1000);
    function(link){_root.ContentMC.gotoAndStop(3)};
}

can anyone see the problem with it? starting to wreck my nerves… :crying:

You need to put that code on the button instance, and it looks like you have it on the frame.
