Re: [flasher] HELP! F5 AS "_currentframe"-Question

[Muzak]

I noticed the script is rather long so I tried doing it with an array that holds the mc names and then used that in the button

actions:


//movieclip array in root

arrayMC = new

Array("aufbau_about","aufbau_music","aufbau_gallery","aufbau_dates","aufbau_links","aufbau_contact","aufbau_guestbook");



on (release) {

    for (i=0; i<_root.arrayMC.length; i++) {

        varMC = _root.arrayMC[i];

        if (_root[varMC]._currentFrame == 54) {

            _root[varMC].gotoAndPlay(60);

        }

    }

}

I didn't look at your FLA, but just worked something out based on your post.

HTH,
