Re: FLASH: FrameLabel

In Flash there are 2 reasons for using Labels one is for authoring to

prevent having to reenter frame numbers whenever you make a change and

the second is to use Labels to prevent calling an incorrrect frame

number when issuing a Go To to a frame that is not loaded yet. 


Both of these conditions no longer matter once a frame that you want to

check with _currentframe is already loaded.


However, all you need to do to use a Label name for a frame number is to

set a variable in the frame number and then reference the variable which

could have the same name as the Label.


Put this as a frame action then you can refer to the frame as TheFrame.

Set Variable: "TheFrame" = _currentframe


Since, you have to go to the frame to be able to say this is the current

frame then this should solve your problem.


If not explain what you are tryting to do, not how you want to solve it.
