Play 10 frames and then goto - how?

[peder]

On frame 1 I need an action on a button that plays an animation during 10 frames and then goto another scen - without putting an action on frame 10. Only one button action. Possible?

hi,

I'm not gonna ask why ...

mymc.onEnterframe=function(){
if(this._currentframe==10){
_root.someclip.gotoAndStop("something");
delete this.onEnterframe;
}
}

//poden

Why can't you put an action on frame 10?

You could always monitor (through an onEnterFrame...) the timeline's current frame being played, and when it's > 9, re-direct the playhead to some other labeled frame in whatever scene...

Because I have multiple buttons that plays the samt animation but then goto different scenes. Thanks for the script!!!

You could them simply differently set a global variable (_global.whereToGo), on each button, and then have the button simply play the the timeline...

code:

---

on(release){

_global.whereToGo = "traget1"; //"target2" for button 2, etc...

this.play();

}



//Then on frame 10...



stop();

this.gotoAndPlay(_global.whereToGo);

}
