As Help(mc Shit)

[Andorox]

Ok, I need a code to put in the main frame, that moves to another frame when I hit a certain frame in an MC.

I.e. When the mc hits frame 50, it goes to frame 5 on the main frames. Help much?

er..

if(mc._currentframe == 50) {
gotoAndStop(5)
}

that should be it, you might want gotoAndPlay depending on your needs.

You'd need an enterFrame event handler assuming that the timeline was stopped - which logically, it would be - so the proper code would be:

onEnterFrame=function(){
if(mc._currentframe>=50){
gotoAndPlay(5);
}
}

Or, just on the 50th frame of the movieclip put

_root.gotoAndStop(whateverframenumber)

Alternatively, you could put some code on the MC's 50th frame. Many coders like to keep their code on the main timeline, but this works too:

_root.gotoAndStop(5)

OR

_root.gotoAndPlay(5)

Depending on whether you want it to stop or play. Put that on the 50th frame (or whatever) of a Movie Clip, and when the Movie Clip reaches that frame, the main timeline will go to the 5th frame. Change the number in the brackets to change the frame.

The other suggestions work great too, but I felt like suggesting an alternative =)

The only problem with your method is that if he is using scenes, it will go to the 50th frame from the first scene. Which means it would require a lot more to fix, and a lot more to change.

yeah sorry, i just assumed he'd already had it down on an enterFrame handler :P
