Action script help needed for advent calendar

Hello, very new here and this is my first post. So Im making an advent calendar and trying to use action script 2 to make the doors only open on their days and the previous doors automatically be open. I got it so that only the doors open on their days when clicked using(on the movie clip for door 14):
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this.displayDate = 14;
}
on (release) {
if (_parent.checkDate(this.displayDate)){
this.play();}

}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if(_parent.checkDate < (this.displayDate)){
gotoAndStop(20);}

}

I've been using this code for the other doors eg here 13
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this.displayDate = 13;
}
on (release) {
if (_parent.checkDate(this.displayDate)){
this.play();}
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if(this.displayDate<=14){
gotoAndStop(20);}

}

The problem is I want this door to be click-able so the animation will play but it stays open at the end of the movie clip.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

Perhaps attach your fla here

Hi fruitbeard this is my fla file thanks for replying Attachment 73877

Hi,

to get strated with, on each of your calender bits, use this instead of what you have now:

PHP Code:

---

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    if (this.displayDate < _parent.currentDay)
    {
        gotoAndStop(20);
    }
} 


---

only replace the onClipEvent (enterFrame) parts
nnow lets see what you need to do after that

Hi fruitbeard,
That seems to have worked perfectly, I dont know how many different ways I tried with this code but obviously not that one, thanks so much for the help I would have been stuck on this forever otherwise :).

Hi,

You may also want to put this on each clip too, replacing the on (release) values for each, so it is clickable or not

PHP Code:

---

on (release) {
    //Should the box be opened?
    if (this.displayDate == _parent.currentDay)
    {
        play();
    }
    else if (this.displayDate < _parent.currentDay)
    {
        gotoAndStop(20);
    }
    else
    {
        gotoAndStop(1);
    }
}

I will add this now too, I've been using flash for awhile for animations but I'm quite hopeless when it comes to code, thanks for all the help :).
