Thanks for a great tutorial. New to actionscript, and I´ve been looking for the right way to play a movie clip a certain times before moving onto the next clip.

This explains it perfectly - helped me get past this hurdle - onwards to the next one.

cheers

I was surfing the web for flash tutorials and I found yours. I would like to thank you for having the time to replay to people that have questions about your code or want to do some changes. I think that’s great because most people don’t do that.

thanks again, keep the good work..

What you want to do is kind of similar to what’s happening here, but with a little modification. I’ll take a look at it later today and see if I can explain it for you fully, but a quick heads up is that instead of using this code on the enter frame,

_root.counter += 1;

you would apply it to your button similar to this:

on(release) {
_root.counter +=1;
}

Then, you would use the following script: (notices I changed the first if to be less than or equal to 3, the number of times you want the button to be clicked).

if (_root.counter <= 3) {
_root.mc_ball.stop();
}

else {
_root.mc_ball.gotoAndPlay(”begin”);
}

This was just a quick look at it, so I haven’t thoroughly tested it yet, but hopefully it gets you started. Let me know if you figure it out, but I’ll get back to you with a more thorough explanation.

Thanks for reading!

Sorry that this isn’t working for you… If you can email me the file: contact@spitshine-design.com, I can take a look at it for you, or you can try posting the AS code here and I’ll see if I can debug it…
