tell target ? telling a movie clip to advance to a certain frame

[jdeville]

hello

hello

if anyone can help me that would be great - i am looking at actionscript in flash mx - i know i can attach an action script to a button :

on (release) {
_____whitewipe.gotoAndPlay(X);
}

so if i click the button my movie clip called whitewipe will goto frame X

my question is can i achieve the same effect without using a button, so that when the movie reaches a certain frame the actionscript will tell whitewipe to goto frame X

or does anyone know of an alternative to get the same effect

i have looked on google but no luck

thank you anyone

john

Just don't use the button handler on a frame action...

_level0.whitewipe.gotoAndPlay(X);
