Simple if or boolean statement? I think?

Hi! I'm totally new to Animate but excited about getting to know it better. My friend who's been on here a long long time recommended I check it out, so I hope I'm in the right place. Hi.

I'm building a 5 room escape game, kind of like an escape room, except there's 5. It's set on a space station.

I want to have two instances of conditional statements, which I *think* would work with an if or a boolean but I'm a code novice. For example, I have a helmet button, and an airlock button. What I'd like to have happen is the airlock button (butt_airlock) isn't active until the user clicks the helmet button (butt_helmet). (The other one is the fridge (butt_fridge) isn't open until the user reveals the food's code (butt_food))

My current code is really basic:

//CODE THAT MAKES FRAMES STOP
this.stop();

// R O O M 1
// Code that makes this button live
this.butt_hatch.addEventListener("click", butt_hatchAction.bind(this));

// Code that makes this button work
function butt_hatchAction() {
this.gotoAndStop(1)
}



// R O O M 2
// Code that makes this button live
this.butt_fridge.addEventListener("click", butt_fridgeAction.bind(this));

// Code that makes this button work
function butt_fridgeAction() {
this.gotoAndStop(2)
}



// R O O M 3
// Code that makes this button live
this.butt_ladder.addEventListener("click", butt_ladderAction.bind(this));

// Code that makes this button work
function butt_ladderAction() {
this.gotoAndStop(3)
}



// R O O M 4
// Code that makes this button live
this.butt_airlock.addEventListener("click", butt_airlockAction.bind(this));

// Code that makes this button work
function butt_airlockAction() {
this.gotoAndStop(4)
}



// R O O M 5

I hope this makes sense! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you so much!!

send me fla

Thank you! I'll message you right now

ok this is the helmet condition, if you click helmet than you can leave.

Instead of adding an eventlistener for each movieclip you should use the click function with e.target.name to check for movieclips clicked on. Actionscript 3.0 is faster than this javascript language

PHP Code:

    //CODE THAT MAKES FRAMES STOP
    this.stop();
    
// R O O M   1    
// Code that makes this button live
this.butt_hatch.addEventListener("click", butt_hatchAction.bind(this));

// Code that makes this button work
function butt_hatchAction() {
this.gotoAndStop(1)
}



// R O O M   2    
// Code that makes this button live
this.butt_fridge.addEventListener("click", butt_fridgeAction.bind(this));

// Code that makes this button work
function butt_fridgeAction() {
this.gotoAndStop(2)
}



// R O O M   3
// Code that makes this button live
this.butt_ladder.addEventListener("click", butt_ladderAction.bind(this));

// Code that makes this button work
function butt_ladderAction() {
this.gotoAndStop(3)
}



// R O O M   4
// Code that makes this button live



// R O O M   5
var mainStage=this
var helmet_clicked=false


this.stage.on("click", function(e) {
if(e.target.name=="helmet"){
helmet_clicked=true
}

if(e.target.name=="butt_airlock"&&helmet_clicked==true){
mainStage.gotoAndStop(4)
}

});

Wow, thank you so much!! I'll try that out. :)

It works!! And I managed to recreate the effect for the fridge, which is awesome. Thank you so, so much!

no problem :)
