goto a frame label based on currentLabel

[Nickbee]

I must be doing something wrong. The movie plays but I seem to not goto where I want. This is the code in frame one of the movieclip.

// add event listener to next_btn
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, skipToMyLou);

//skipToMyLou function  --  This checks to see what frame label the 
//timeline is on then gotoAndPlays a label based on the results.  
function skipToMyLou(event:MouseEvent):void{

	//if on label start goto label two
	if (this.currentLabel == "start"){
		this.gotoAndPlay("two");
		}
		
	//if on label loop goto label two
	if (this.currentLabel == "loop"){
		this.gotoAndPlay("two");
		}
	
	//if on label two goto label three
	if (this.currentLabel == "two"){
		this.gotoAndPlay("three");
		}
	
	//if on label three goto label four
	if (this.currentLabel == "three"){
		this.gotoAndPlay("four");
		}
	
	//if on label four goto label five
	if (this.currentLabel == "four"){
		this.gotoAndPlay("five");
		}
		
	//if on label five goto label six
	if (this.currentLabel == "five"){
		this.gotoAndPlay("six");
		}
	
	//if on label six goto label one
	if (this.currentLabel == "six"){
		this.gotoAndPlay("one");
		}

}

Thanks!

I just figured it out. On the click it would just cycle through the timeline because of the order of the if statements. I reversed the order of the if statements and it works perfect. I'm sure there if a better way of doing this (do tell)... But I got it to work with the AS3 I know.

function skipToMyLou(event:MouseEvent):void{

    var labels:Array = ["start", "loop", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six" ];

    var frameLabels:Array = ["two", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "one" ];

    this.gotoAndPlay(frameLabels[labels.indexOf(this.currentLabel)]);

}

Arrays.

Much more elegant! Thanks!!
