Button to increment frames

Hi there, I was just wondering how to create a button that increments the frames in the timeline, until a certain frame.

How can this be done?

create a number variable, increase it by 1 and then use goto that variable name.

Code:

var myNumber:Number = 1;



myNumber++;

gotoAndStop(myNumber);

if you want it to play until a certain frame then write stop(); on the frame you want to stop.

or is this what you meant?

Code:

var desiredNumber = 10

var myNumber = 1;

mybutton.onRelease = function() {

if (myNumber< desiredNumber) {

myNumber++;

gotoAndStop(myNumber);

}

}

this will only make it go to the next frame if the currentframe (starting at one) is less than the desired number.

The button I am creating is a next button, so it will feature on multiple frames, I want a way to increment it on click, rather than having to write a piece of AS for each frame the button is clicked.

Any ideas how to do that?

you could write the code in the actions of the button, then simply paste the button on every frame.

Thank you! Working now :D
