nextFrame;
}

[ridgeon]

no, it doesnt work it comes up with error
here is what it says:
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=2:Line 1: Key code identifier expected
on(keyPress <Space> ){

Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

I edited the code... check it out now.

You needed " " 's around the <Space> making "<Space>"

[ridgeon]

um, it doesnt say error, but when i press space bar it doesnt do anything

[Rellin]

I've never done anything like this, but lets hope it'll work.

Try this code:

frame = 0;
on(keyPress "<Space>"){
  frame += 1;
  gotoAndStop(frame);
} 

Try that code twice, first time copy and paste, second time replace gotoAndStop(frame); with gotoAndStop("frame");

[ridgeon]

yeh thats works thanx a lot

[Rellin]

No problem, I thought you just wanted it to go to and stop on the next frame, that's far more complicated than gotoAndPlay.

Good luck with your project
