gotoAndStop on mouse click

[special_sauce]

Hi,
I'm new to action script and flash.
I have placed a button on my design that says "SKIP INTRO". I have been trying for hours to place code into that frame that says when a mouse is clicked, go to the frame that is labeled "final" or "424".
So far I'm up to:

btn_skip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ClickHandlerFunction);
function ClickHandlerFunction(event:MouseEvent);
{
// need some code for gotoAndStop that works!!
trace("wow");
}

A lot of old posts simply say you can right click on the button and click actions and simply place this into the actions area:

on(release) {
gotoAndStop(5);
}

This doesn't seem to work.

All I want it to do is go to a frame (or the end of the movie) when i click on a symbol? Can someone help me out. Struggling to synthesize the plethora on code examples on the net.

Cheers

what you have is pretty close actually, try this and it should work just fine:


btn_skip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ClickHandlerFunction);

function ClickHandlerFunction(event:MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndStop("Final");
}


That should work just fine, if not then make sure that you have your instance names and code references matching.

fantastic - that worked. I'm such a happy little chappy now
