correct me if im wrong

[Zirclesoft]

hmmm, i just
wanted to know if there is somthing wrong
with my script:

code:

---

if(instancenameofmovieclip._currentframe == 32){

 variable -= anothervariable;

}

---

cause, i dont think it works!

oh yeah is it possible to do this:
variable = "hello"

then the dynamic text would show "hello"
when refered to that variable?

thnx a bunch!

Nothing wrong with the script, syntax-wise. Its probably where and how you use it that is wrong.

It would depend if you placed the code on a button , in a timeline, if the path is right and so on.

Its hard to say witout more details.

Generally ( if the code is not on a button ), the code has to be repeated until the conditions are true, not just placed on a frame.

Just mnake a textfield with variable name hello and have ....

textFieldName = "hello"

...in the code.

hmm well, it does run on a frame

a one single frame(lets say its on frame 10)

and i have a button that makes my timeline go and stop
on frame 10

is that a reason why its not working?


textfield is also the same as instance name
of the dynamic text?

anyhoo, thnx!!

(oh yeah, how the heck you got 13,000+ posts!?)

The textfield needs a VARIABLE name. for you script to work.

The movieclip you are checking need to be present on the timeline when th check is done.
