anyone else had this prob

[sandman9]

I have a bunch of frame labels and each frame label has a stop action ........ when I click on the button illustration for example, it will go to the frame label called "illustrations" ..... if I click this same illustration button again (once it's already at the frame label illustration) then it goes to the next frame label

Anyone know why it does this and how I can fix it?

[adroitemedia]

try this possibly:

on (press) {
if (_root._currentframe = "illustrations") {
gotoAndStop("illustrations");
}
}

It would be much easier to pick what the problem was if you posted the actionscript that's affecting that button

[sandman9]

it's just has the script that says

on (Press) {
gotoAndPlay("illustration");
}

And the frame label illustration has a stop action ...... so this all works fine but if I click this button again when it's already stopped at "illustration" then it plays in the timeline (there fore stopping at the next stop action)

And Androit, your script didn't work

I hope this isn't the case, but check if you have multiples of the frame label 'illustration' in your entire movie... You cannot have duplicates of the same frame label...

[sandman9]

no i don't because I have other buttons that go to frames labeled "flash" "html" "print", etc and they all do that same thing :(

[annexion]

on (press) {
if (_root._currentframe == "illustrations") {
gotoAndStop("illustrations");
}
}

Try that.

Good luck.

Um... _currentframe returns the number of the frame, not the frame label itself...

Just use gotoAndStop() insted of gotoAndPlay() and it should work fine.

:)

[sandman9]

no one said gotoAndPlay

And the following was already said and it doesn't work

on (press) {
if (_root._currentframe == "illustrations") {
gotoAndStop("illustrations");
}
}

[zebbah]

it's just has the script that says

on (Press) {
gotoAndPlay("illustration");
} This doesn't play the second time you press your button: on (press) {
gotoAndStop("illustration");
}

[annexion]

Eh, it was worth a shot. I've never used frame labels, as I don't animate too much. So, I was just trying to correcting the syntax of a previous reply.

Good luck.
