Multiple condition checking.

[ad_aware]

Hi all, am trying to do a multiple if statement checking to determine which frame label within a MC (NE) and is located on frame 3 of the main timeline, to display.

In the main timeline frame 1, I have declared a new var:

var n_e;

button1.onRelease = function (){
n_e1 = 1;
main timeline go to and stop at frame 3
}

button2.onRelease = function (){
n_e1 = 2;
main timeline go to and stop at frame 3
}

On Frame 3 where the NE movieclip is, i did a onload event on the clip itself:

NE.onLoad = function() {
if (n_e1 == 1) {
this.gotoAndStop("1");
}
if (n_e1 == 2) {
this.gotoAndStop("2");
}
}

But it doesnt seem to work, and most of the time it lands up on Ne("2") instead...

Would appreciate any kind suggestions to resolving this. Thanks in advance!

is it because you defined var n_e instead of var n_e1?

Ahh thx ZD, but that wasnt it.. it was just a typo of mine when I created this thread

I tried to put together the .fla you envisioned(hopefully)...

I think it would be good practice for you to come up with the non-functional fla where we could take a look.

Take a look and tell us if this is what you wanted.

Have fun!

Thanks Eddie for your reply. Sorry I was dumb enough not to put up a fla where things could be more self explained.

This is how I structured my AS in a non-functional fla currently would you be able to suggest what could be wrong? Thanks.

Yes, well, basically you've got a path problem. When you put code inside an mc, this works for that mc's timeline. So to access the n_e variable that is located on the _root, you need to go to it by _root.n_e

I have uploaded the fixed solution.

Keep also in mind, that once the movie clip has loaded, the onLoad() event will not trigger anymore...

Also as a side help, instead of declaring a label for each frame called 1, 2, 3 and accessing them by telling the script gotoAndStop("1") you could remove the label names and just tell the script to gotoAndStop(frame_number) ... without the quotes... like: gotoAndStop(2);

Have fun!

Thanks Eddie, i managed to resolve it ^_^ with ur help on hinting about _root.

I left out a _root. in the declaration of the variable's value in one of the other MC on the stage... Managed to resolve it. Thanks!
