FLASH: Re: Newbie Scripter-variables in "go to frame"?

[Greg Nelson]

Hello all,

My first posting after reading and picking up good hints for

a long time ...


I've been using FLASH for animation for years, but now I

have to script, and I'm no whiz even though I can get by

with Lingo. I would appreciate some help.

My animation loops on two frames

Everything works except:

I have a subroutine that includes the following Loop While



Set Variable: "i" = 1

Loop While (i <= vCounts)

      If (Var1 < get("Var2"&i)

            Begin Tell Target ("/MC")

                  Go to and Stop (i+1) <-- PROBLEM?

            End Tell Target

            Else

           -- Blah Blah

      End If

      Set Variable: "i" = i + 1

End Loop


Apparently, when I use the Expression option in the tell

target "go to frame" I can't get it to recognize any

variables--just hard wired numbers (although I get no error messages).


What is the Expression option for in this dialog box and is

there a way to script this?
