Movie Clip Animations - As3

[Logidude]

Hello everyone,
It's been a while since I've been on Newgrounds, but know I'm trying to learn ActionScript 3 (have been for 2-3 days) and need some help with movieclip animations.
I have a movieclip with frame labels on the beginning frame of each new action, and am trying to figure out how to make them play when say a button is pressed. All I need help with is the playing of the animation, not the function controlling it(I have that set up)
Thanks for your help!

If you have the function set up, then I think it's still gotoAndPlay("framelabel"). I know as much as you, as I'm learning as3 as well, but maybe it should be that..

Thanks, I'll try that, the only problem is that i cant really test it because im developing for an iphone application and haven't bought the developers license yet (this is just a test for it but I could add different control scheme for now...). Thanks anyway!

That's probably not a good idea if you're still learning AS3. If you're stuck at something this basic, you should just try to make a few apps/games to get some knowledge and exporting normally through flash player. Then once you get the hang of that, you can move onto to iphone development.

thats kinda what im doing, but i accidentally set up the control scheme as a multitouch device because i got carried away :P

it would be less headache for you to drop your project to the least common denominator and just make it work on the standard computer and flashplayer first before stepping into other devices, especially when trying to do new things with it and no ability to test it out.

"thats kinda what im doing, but i accidentally set up the control scheme as a multitouch device because i got carried away :P" as I said in my last post...

...So I'm guessing your fla is cursed to never be turned back? I guess you'll never be able to test your game. :/

I think there is still a way to get non-licensed games on the iPhone...

Yeah.... I don't want to (never going to) jailbreak my iPod...
