Subject: RE: FLASH: Please help: ActionScript heck.
From: Dave Hollinden

All of the actions is a given frame are executed before going on to the next
frame. It will not execute your Go to and Stop (_currentframe + 1) action
until it has executed all other actions in that frame, which means that it
will go through your loop over and over until your While condition is
satisfied, and then execute a Go to to the last value of _currentframe + 1.

What you need to do instead is create a movie clip with three frames. Frame
1 has a stop action, Frame 2 has your Go to and Stop (_currentframe + 1)
action, adn Frame 3 has a goto previous frame action. The your OnRollover
action should TT the movie clip to Goto and Play frame 2 of this movie clip.
This is very general, but see what I mean?

Subject: FLASH: Please help: ActionScript heck.


Please help, I'm having major headaches from trying to get this to work.
This is what I have thus far on two different buttons. button1 is suppose to
make the play head move forward and button2 is suppose to make the play head
go backwards. Well that's the idea anyways.

(ActionScript on button1)
On (Roll Over)
Loop While (_currentframe < 50)
Go to and Stop (_currentframe + 1)
End Loop
End On
On (Roll Out)
Stop
End On


(ActionScript on button2)
On (Roll Over)
Loop While (_currentframe > 50)
Go to and Stop (_currentframe - 1)
End Loop
End On
On (Roll Out)
Stop
End On

My problem is this, I'd like for this to run smoothly from any frame to
frame
50 and/or from any frame to frame 1, but instead it goes by so fast it looks
like its jumping from one frame to the other. Is there a way to insert a
delay of .5 seconds after each frame? Can anyone please help.

Thanks in advance.
