Hey there,

 

When a timer in my game hits 40 I want it to go to the next frame. Here is what I have:

 

 

 

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
          var atFrame:Boolean = false;


          if (_root.timer == 40) {
                    atFrame = true;


          } else {
                    _root.timer++;
          }


          if (atFrame == true) {
                    myRandom = random(3);
                    if (myRandom == 0) {
                              gotoAndStop("game1");
                    }
                    if (myRandom == 1) {
                              gotoAndStop("game2");
                    }
                    if (myRandom == 2) {
                              gotoAndStop("game3");
                    }
          }
}

 

Where "game1-3" are the names of my frames. And timer is the name of my dynamicText.

 

Any suggestions as to why this isn't working would be greatly appreciated.

 

Kind Regards, Eric

    first of all your variable must be initiated
    _root.timer=0
    Yor code is insede a MovieClip?

    I change the code

     

     

    _root.timer = 0;


    onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
              var atFrame:Boolean = false;

              if (++_root.timer == 40) {
                            goGame();
              }

    }

     

    function goGame() {
         myRandom = int(Math.random()*3);
          if (myRandom == 0) {
              _root.gotoAndStop("game1");
         }
         if (myRandom == 1) {
                  _root.gotoAndStop("game2");
         }
         if (myRandom == 2) {
                  _root.gotoAndStop("game3");
         }
    }

    That did clean up my code, although it seems to be doing the same thing, timer just keeps increasing and the frame doesn't change :/

    "game1","game2","game3" are the label in the time line or the name of the frames inside the movieclip?

     

     

    try this

     

     

    code in the time line:

     

     

    _root.timer = 0;

    stop();

     

    function goGame() {

         myRandom = int(Math.random()*3);

          if (myRandom == 0) {

              gotoAndStop("game1");

         }

         if (myRandom == 1) {

              gotoAndStop("game2");

         }

         if (myRandom == 2) {

              gotoAndStop("game3");

         }

    }

     

     

    code in the moveclip

     

    onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

              var atFrame:Boolean = false;

              if (int(++_root.timer) == int(40)) {

                        _parent.goGame();

              }

    }

    you´re welcome

     

     

    is too a solution

     

    onClipEvent (load) {

        function goGame() {

            myRandom = int(Math.random()*3);

            if (myRandom == 0) {

                gotoAndStop("game1"); //for frame inside the movieclip or _parent.gotoAndStop("game1");

            }

            if (myRandom == 1) {

                gotoAndStop("game2"); //for frame inside the movieclip or _parent.gotoAndStop("game2");

            }

            if (myRandom == 2) {

                gotoAndStop("game3"); //for frame inside the movieclip or _parent.gotoAndStop("game3");

            }

        }

    }

     

     

    onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

        var atFrame:Boolean = false;

        if (++_root.timer==40) {

            goGame();

        }

    }
