Why doesn't my movie stop on frame 4?

[howhowhuman]

I'm using

stop();

It just plays over and over and ignores the stops. What am I not getting here?

Thanks.

BTW: I'm new to AS3 and am having lots of problems. Being more of a designer than a coder I miss the way I used to be able to code in AS1 & 2. sigh

When you run the FLA, you'll see some errors. I think the errors are causing the rest of the actionscript to be ignored. Fix the errors (or comment out the code that causes these errors) and you'll be good.

Hey, not trying to hi-jack a thread, but just wanted to say, that I am in the same predicament, when attaching a movie clip to a stage with a sub movie clip that has 2 frames, with stops(); on both frames, it ignores frame 1.

and no, there are NO errors when compiling. A few very advanced coders have looked at it as well, and were perplexed.

It only works with gotoAndStop(1) or gotoAndStop(2)


Let me know if you find an answer with your problem, as it is probably the same with me.

Thanks!

I think the fundamental problem with your project is the complexity of the file.
There are much simpler methods for doing this.
BTW, the compiler is not seeing your button instance names, which is probably why the rest of your code is not compiling correctly.

Can you post your FLA?
