Help with creating an if/then function for a flash banner

Hello, I have a flash banner that needs to have some interactivity. it needs to function thusly.. there are 3 "zones" (buttons) that reveal a message. after the message is fully revealed (all 3 buttons moused over) the banner should continue to the secondary animation "playFrm2". If no buttons are interacted with.. then the banner would just got to "playFrm2" after a set amount of time.. say 10 seconds. I know it needs a timer.. but I don't know how to make a "bucket" for the 3 buttons to throw a "yes" into for it to advance to the next frame of animation. I will revisit the 2 scenarios for the functioning of the banner..

A. the user does not interact with the banner and the banner goes to "playFrm2" after 10 secoonds

B. the user interacts with the banner.. mousing over the 3 "reveal zones" (buttons) upon revealing the 3rd zone.. the banner would go to "playFrm2". now if only 1 or 2 of the buttons were moused over.. it would still wait for the timer to expire before going to "playFrm2".

here is code I have for a banner to continue to the next frame after a timer times out.. or the user interacts with the banner.. but i need this banner to move on after 3 interactions...

Code:

---

var isPlaying:Boolean    //create a variable to set whether the playFrm1 is playing or not
isPlaying=false;
openingAni();    //execute this

//timer, do an action when inactive for X secs
function timer(){ 
if(isPlaying==true){
//do nothing
} 
else {
  playFrm1();  //when passed X seconds, then execute playFrm1
isPlaying=true;  //set  that playFrm1  is playing
}
clearInterval(tim)
} var tim=setInterval(timer, 11000); //1000 milliseconds is 1 second

//and in the button
actionbb.onPress= function():Void {
if(isPlaying==true){
//do nothing
}
else {
 playFrm1(); //execute  playFrm1 on  button action
isPlaying=true;  //set that  playFrm1  is playing
}
   
        openribgrp.scaleTo(200, .5, easeoutelastic, .1);
        openribgrp.tween('_x', -200, .5, easeoutelastic, .1);
        openribgrp.tween('_y', -252, .5, easeoutelastic, .1);
                freeill.alphaTo(100, 1, easeInOutSine,        .1);
        openribgrp.alphaTo(0, .9, easeInOutSine, .1);
        actionbb.tween('_x', -400, .5, easeInOutSine, .1);
        calltobb.tween('_x', -6.65, .5, easeInOutSine, .1);
                curtaintwo.rotateTo(-183, 1.7, easeInSine, .1);
        curtaintwo.tween('_y', -45, 2, easeInOutSine, .1);     
                curtain.rotateTo(1, 1.7, easeInSine, .1);
        curtain.tween('_y', -45, 2, easeInOutSine, .1, playFrm2);       

}


function playFrm1():Void {


        openribgrp.scaleTo(200, .5, easeoutelastic, .1);
        openribgrp.tween('_x', -200, .5, easeoutelastic, .1);
        openribgrp.tween('_y', -252, .5, easeoutelastic, .1);
                freeill.alphaTo(100, 1, easeInOutSine,        .1);
        openribgrp.alphaTo(0, .9, easeInOutSine, .1);
        actionbb.tween('_x', -400, .5, easeInOutSine, .1);
        calltobb.tween('_x', -6.65, .5, easeInOutSine, .1);
                curtaintwo.rotateTo(-183, 1, easeInSine, .1);
        curtaintwo.tween('_y', -45, 3.2, easeInOutSine, .1);     
                curtain.rotateTo(1, 1, easeInSine, .1);
        curtain.tween('_y', -45, 3.2, easeInOutSine, .1, playFrm2);     

        isPlaying=false;  //set playFrm1 is not playing anymore
}

thanks for any help.

could you not do something like:

Code:

---

leftscratch.onRollOver= function():Void {
                leftscratch.alphaTo(100, .3, 'easeInOutSine'); button_check_mc.nextFrame();
}

middlescratch.onRollOver= function():Void {
                middlescratch.alphaTo(100, .3, 'easeInOutSine');button_check_mc.nextFrame();
}

rightscratch.onRollOver= function():Void {
                rightscratch.alphaTo(100, .3, 'easeInOutSine');button_check_mc.nextFrame();
}

---

and create a moveClip called button_check_mc with a stop() on the first frame, nothing on the second or third, and then on the fourth a bit of script to go to and play playFrm2?

well, all 3 need to be "activated" before it would go to the next frame.. i'm trying to do this all via AS.. without any timeline AS.. as the banner loads a timer starts to count.. i was thinking all it needed was a variable that ticks up as each zone is moused over.. upon reaching "3" the banner would go tot he next set of instructions.. if the variable does not = "3" by the time the timer runs out.. then it would advance to the next set of instructions.

does that make sense? i'm just stuffing animations into functions and then calling to those functions... i understand programming.. but i'm nowhere near being a developer.. just trying to figure this stuff out.

You can do this.

Code:

---

var button1activated=false;
var button2activated=false;
var button3activated=false;

---

And on the buttons:

Code:

---



leftscratch.onRollOver= function():Void {
button1activated=true;
                leftscratch.alphaTo(100, .3, 'easeInOutSine'); button_check_mc.nextFrame();
}

middlescratch.onRollOver= function():Void {
button2activated=true;
                middlescratch.alphaTo(100, .3, 'easeInOutSine');button_check_mc.nextFrame();
}

rightscratch.onRollOver= function():Void {
button3activated=true;
                rightscratch.alphaTo(100, .3, 'easeInOutSine');button_check_mc.nextFrame();
}


onEnterFrame=function(){
if (button1activated==true && button2activated==true && button3activated==true ){
//GO TO THIS FRAME OR DO THIS
}
}

---

Thanks. That looks like the ticket. I will see how this works.

well, i seem to have a targeting issue. as in i placed the code where i think it works.. but it does not. i have provided the full code as i tried it.. i don't know how to make it go to the next frame.. (but i'll keep trying)
