goto a frame when an array is empty

[MarkSensei]

Im wondering, I have this script courtesy of MD004 (thanks again)
and Im wondering how I can make it goto the frame labeled "congradulations" when the array is empty. this is what I have.

function arrayRandomizer(a, b) {
	var value = (random(2)==0) ? -1 : 1;
	return value;
}

frames = [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]; // this is the array of frames
frames.sort(arrayRandomizer);


currentFrameCount=0;
function nextFrame() {
	gotoAndStop(  frames[currentFrameCount]  );
	currentFrameCount++;
}

I tried just putting a

if( frames == "" ){ 
 _root.gotoAndPlay("congradulations");
}

but it doesn't goto the frame
any suggestions?

thanks in advance

You're nearly there with it, just remember to use trace() whenever you can, it'll help with debugging so much.

Give this a try mate:

function nextFrame() {
        if(++currentFrameCount<frames.length){
  	      gotoAndStop(frames[currentFrameCount]);
        } else {
              _root.gotoAndPlay("congradulations");
        }
}

What about a simple

if (frames.length == 0) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("congradulations");
}

Because the frames array isn't being spliced, it's just the contents being randomised, so you have to use the array offset and compare that to the length, rather than the length property itself ( Which will never change ).

Thanks so much! I will give that a go!
Man I can't wait until I can just look at a piece of code and understand it inside and out like alot of the folk on this forum.
I was under the impression that the piece of code I was working with was splicing the array...

Thanks again!

trace, trace, trace!
And watch your spelling. ;-)

I've never really taken to "trace" yet, maybe I should look into it more. Thanks
