if (x==0) { not working

[jim2002]

Sorry to ask what may be obvious but I can't get this to work.

I have an if statement that works great if I place it on a button On press

However I want that same satement in the last frame of a movieclip to direct the next action.

It seems like if statements are ignored unless attached to an event - is that true?

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you.

Conditional statements on a frame action will work, no problem. Just make sure that you are properly addressing the variable you want to check.

Did you cut and paste the code from the button and place it in a movieclip? was the button in that movieclip? If not, did you remember to change the scope of the variable you were checking?

First Frame:

n++;

Last Frame:

if(n<10){
gotoAndPlay(1);
}else{
stop();
trace("I'm Done");
}

Good Luck!

Thanks for helping

Sorry - I figured it out - In testing the submovie, the variable isn't declared so it only works when called from the main movie.

Moo Moo Moo
