How to Count mouse clicks?

[ebz]

Hi

Ok, i have this guy (see picture) and when you click at him he zaps at the TV.
But nothing happens. Only after clicking a lot of times or by clicking very fast hes head explodes, only leaving some smoke...

so how can i do that?

1) How do i count the number of times clicked on fx. object A and when its more than X times then it should go to frame B.

and...

2) Is it possible to count double clicks or trible clicks? So fx. if there is a double clik on objekt A then go to frame B.

Please help :confused:

so the chap's a button and on him the code:

on(release)
{
clicked();
}

and on the first frame you have the code:

numClicks = 0;

function clicked()
{
numClicks++;//add one to numClicks
if (numClicks >= 5)
{
//go to next scene or whatever
}
}

to register double-clickes have a look at the following thread - http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?s=&threadid=7670

Ok im maybe really stupid but it doesnt seem to work. Did you meen like this:

numClicks = 0;
function clicked () {
numClicks++;
// add one to numClicks
if (numClicks>=5) {
// go to next scene or whatever
}
}
gotoAndPlay (45);


- and it should be in the first frame in the scene, and in any frame right?

worked fine for me

maybe your gotoAndPlay is in the wrong place (should be above the }})

and yeah just place the function the first frame
