Whats wrong with my code!

[pixelmagikau]

I have a movieclip on the stage on a keyframe that has a stop. he movieclip has its _alpha manually set to o using the properties pane.

What I need it to do is when the clip enters the movieclip it asks itself is my alpha less then 100% YES then ok increase myself by 5%. Because I have a stop and I am using an onClipEvent(enterframe) it should gradually increase until its aplha reaches 100%. It appears to be doing that ok as the clip fades in gradually. What I need it to do then is once it has reached 100% it should break its loop and move to frame 2 with the label "s2" but it is not doing that.

Code on the movieclip
--------------------------

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if (this._alpha != (100){
this._alpha +=5;
}else{
gotoandPlay("s2");
}
}

As I said it fades up alright but wont go to the appropriate next frame once it reaches full alpha.

It has to be something simple!


If anyone can help then I would be most grateful.

Thanks pixelmagik

if (this._alpha != (100){

take out the ( before the 100

and gotoandPlay should be gotoAndPlay

Thanks for your swifrt reply,

Just changed the code as per your reply and still nothing it fades up then stops and does nothing when it is 100%

try:

if (this._alpha <= 100) {

and

this.gotoAndPlay("s2");

*make sure your frame is properly named

I have attached the file so you can see better what I am trying to do and how it is setup. Feel free to change it round to how you think the code should work.

Maybe yiou can see exactly what is wrong by looking at it.

Appreciate your help

You needed a <= in stead of a !=. With not equal to, if the _alpha went over 100, it would just keep going. Less than or equal to will cover 100+.
