How do I make a button that will cycle through movie clip frames in AS3?
For school, I'm making a dressup game. Now, I have posted my question to the professor---I go to school online---but he hasn't replied. I've been searching online for hours, and I just feel like tearing my hair out.
Anyway, the Flash file is kinda big at this point, but let me show you what it looks like first:

I've turned each of the blue things into buttons, added their instances, etc. And, I've made the movie clip stuff for the dresses. What I want it to do is to cycle through the movie clip when you press the button; no forward, no back; it just changes it to the next frame of the movie clip.
Does ANYONE have a tutorial on this, or at least can point me in the right direction here? Everything I seem to have found is with AS2. -Sigh-
Anyway, any help is appreciated. Cheers!

I don't know how much actionscript you know, but you could create a single function and add Event listeners to each of your movie clips. In my example, I just had one movieclip for the head with instance name of mcHead (with 5 different heads on their own frames) an another movie clip for the body with instance name of mcBody set up the same way, I did not have any stop(); actions inside the timelines, and so I had to stop with code. But if you have stop actions, then the first two lines after import statement are not necessary.
Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
mcHead.stop();
mcBody.stop();
mcHead.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mcClicked);
mcBody.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mcClicked);
function mcClicked(e:MouseEvent):void{
if(e.target.currentFrame==e.target.totalFrames){
e.target.gotoAndStop(1);
}else{
e.target.nextFrame();
}
}
The logic inside of the function handles the looping, so that once you reach the last frame, you go back to the first one.
