Need Urgent Help

Action Script 2.

I have a count function that counts how many times the buttons in my scene are clicked.

It counts upwards on each mouse click:

_root.count+=1

I know this is working because a trace(_root.count) shows appropriately.

When count == 6, I need to trigger a sound. My code is as follows;

onClipEvent(mouseDown)
if (_root.count==6) {
snd=new Sound();
snd.attachSound("click");
snd.start();
}
}


The problem is, it's not triggering the sound as expected, even though the _root.count trace is showing 6.

I am in desparate need of a solution. Please help!

My guess is it's because when the mouse is down count is still equal to 5. Try with mouseUp instead. But it's only a guess as i didn't see the handler for the count++

To make sure, add a trace on your mouseDown:
.....
snd=new Sound();
trace(_root.count);
....

gparis - you are absolutely awesome, it worked beautifully! Your knowledge is invaluable to people just starting out like me - 1000% better than the Adobe website info, which tells people relatively nothing.

*THANK YOU SO MUCH*
