RE: getting the current marker name

[Chris Kemmett]

Quick change to the script below (after checking :( )...


Don't grab the frame number with the frame script, grab it on the button

click to get you to the next frame; that way, you are loading the array with

the last frame you were on, not the current one.


The rest test OK.


I hope this isn't too late - I'm on digest


I haven't found a way to access the marker or label name of the current

frame (wish I could!). My workaround has been to use a var in conjunction

with the goto command and read it back if I need it (var nextlabel =

"step2").


But thinking about it, another way would be to pop and push an array with

the frame numbers as a user visits them - Flash doesn't need to know a frame

label in order to go to it (that's just to make my authoring easier).


For instance:

//initialise an array

visitStack = new Array();


Frame script

//append the current frame number to the stack when you enter a frame

visitStack.push(_currentFrame);


On click of back button:

//read the last value from the stack and go there

gotoAndStop(visitStack.pop());



This hasn't been tested, but this is the kind of thing...
