go to frame label based on variable

[rubbersharkman]

If I havea variable "haircolor" set to "blonde" how do I script it so that on the push of a button it tells a movie clip to go to frame label " haircolor" and get it to go to the label blonde? please hurry, thanks

Hi there;

I had the same problem, so I tried the above and I couldn't get it to work, but did get the following to work:

PathToMovieClip = "test/Hair"
set(PathToMovieClip + ":TargetLabel", "blonde");
tellTarget (PathToMovieClip)
{
gotoAndPlay (TargetLabel);
}

Brad.

PS: I also noticed that your label name cant start with a number, or Flash will parse the number out and try to go to the frame number instead. Try using text labels for everything and it should be ok. Good luck !
