I have loaded content into an array and have displayed that data in a dynamic text field. What I need to do now is take that same array data and append it to a gotoAndPlay command.
example:
var myArray:Array = new Array(); // lets pretend a button has been clicked and loaded (event.target.name) into the array
//I can then display the contents of the array in a text box
myTextBox.text = myArray[0]; //this works well
but I need to also do this
myMovieClip.myArray[0].gotoAndPlay(“start”); in which will actually end up being myMovieClip.home.gotoAndPlay(“start”)
How do I write this the correct way
----actual code-----
var myMenuArray = [home, about]; //1 button duplicated with instance names to reflect
for each (var btn in myMenuArray)
{
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBtnClick);
}
var detectArray:Array = new Array();
function onBtnClick (event:MouseEvent):void
{
transition.visible= true;
transition.gotoAndPlay(“transPlay”);
transition.addEventListener(Event.EXIT_FRAME,transitionFrameDetect);
detectArray[0] = event.currentTarget.name;
}
function transitionFrameDetect(event:Event)
{
if (transition.currentFrame == 50)
{
transition.removeEventListener(Event.EXIT_FRAME,transitionFrameDetect);
transition.visible = false;
trace(“Transition has reached Frame 50”)
butBox1.text = detectArray[0]; //displays what the array data is
pages.detectArray[0].gotoAndPlay(“transPlay”); //code not working
}
else
{
trace(“Waiting for transition movie clip to reach frame 50”);
}
}
