MC problems [HELP]

[tongxn]

I got a MC here and it's gonna be a tic-tac-toe game, I put "stop" AS on all 3 Frames in the movieclip.
The First frame is empty, The second is cross, and the third is circle.
I placed the MC onto the stage, but now i face a AS error, I am using a made-up AS:

On(Press)
     This.gotoAndStop("2")
     If(This.gotoAndStop("2")
            GotoAndStop("3")

Nope it's not working.

Anyone got some fresh ideas?

Hey

Ok, first of all remember that when you gotoAndStop(); to a frame, its a number. This means that there is no " " around it

Secondly, "This" should be "this" (it will turn blue).

Finally, if thats on a movieclip, it needs to be in a handler.



Ok now try this, place the following code on the first frame of your actions layer:

code:

---

mcInstance.onPress = function(){

     this.gotoAndStop(2);

     if (this._currentframe ==2){

            this.gotoAndStop(3);

}

}

}

---

Another few reminders. Put ; after your code lines and remember that IF statments must be wrapped in {} brackets. Finally its gotoAndStop() not GotoAndStop();

If your using a premade code such as "if" , "this" , "gotoAndStop();" it will turn blue , thats a way of making sure you typed it correctly

Cool, Thanks.
You are saving my life here man!

[tongxn]

No I got it blue alright, but its quite stupid sometimes and it don't work on me...

[Osteel]

Haha, well good to know you got it now

Wait a minuit, Flash don't reconise my instance name... What should I name it?

[tongxn]

I added a stop in front of that AS mind

[Osteel]

It doesnt recognize your instance name?

Give it something like 'test' and then change the code accordingly

code:

---

_root.test.onPress = function(){

     this.gotoAndStop(2);

     if (this._currentframe ==2){

            this.gotoAndStop(3);

}

}

} 

---

[tongxn]

stop();
_root.test.onPress = Function(){
this.gotoAndStop(2);
if(this._currentframe ==2){
this.gotoAndStop(3);
}
}
}

Still don't, the bold bit's still black....

[tongxn]

Maybe i should test the movie.. I didn't bother to do that yet...

[Osteel]

Haha tongxn - it wont turn blue ...

Instance names will remain black. BLUE lettering is for premade built in Flash functions such as gotoAndStop(), stop(), trace();

Things like that

Sorry to confuse you

[tongxn]

Nope the stop function is not working!!!

EVERYTHING HAPPENS TOOOO MEEEEEEEEEE! WYYYYYYYY?!

[tongxn]

And the AS u gave me!

[Osteel]

Oh wait I see your mistake

Remember, function is LOWER CASE

Spelling counts


Also there is a mistake in my code too , there should only be two closing brackets:

code:

---

_root.test.onPress = function(){

     this.gotoAndStop(2);

     if (this._currentframe ==2){

            this.gotoAndStop(3);

}

}

---

[tongxn]

No I don't think that works.....

[Osteel]

Really, I tested it and it worked fine for me ...

1) Make a movieclip and give change its instance name to test
2) On the very first frame of your main timeline, paste that code ...
3) Run the program and click on your movieclip
