Re: FLASH: "go to" problems

[Helen Triolo]

Samir,


You can use an expression in a goto if it defines either a frame name or

a frame number, but not a combination of the two.  So if I understand

what you're trying to do (assuming level is a variable and not an actual

flash level), you'll need to label each of the frames you want to jump

to with something like "level1" "level2" etc, and do 


Set Variable: "modifier" = 2

Go to and Play ("level"&modifier)


This will send the movie to a frame labelled level2 (*not* to two frames

past a frame labelled level, which flash won't do)


hth,

Helen
