Page numbers in a flash file

[jonnyP]

Hi,

Is there any easy way to put the page number at the bottom of a page within a movie?

page 1 is on frame 1 etc and so on

Sure. You would make a dynamic text field, give it an instance name (example: page). Now on each frame in your timeline put a bit of code like:
page.text = _currentframe;

or something like this:
page.text = "Page: " + _currentframe;

Yes you can do that, something like this:

Set up a listener to call a function on every frame:

thisMC.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, pageNumber);

Then use a function like this to update a dynamic text field, pageNumberText, with the current frame:

function pageNumber(evt:Event):void
{ 
  pageNumberText.text= thisMC.currentFrame; 
}

Hope that helps!
