AS3 Use the same button and code in diferent frames

Hi!

This is probably very basic... but...

in as3 (air for desktop) is there a way of, inside a movieclip, use the same code (goto1) , for the exactly sabe button along different keyframes without need to repeat the code several times?

I am able to do it if I start in frame 1, but not if I star it in frame 2.

 

Thank you all

    Hi.

     

    An easy approach is to add a mouse event listener to the parent and check for the name property. Like this:

     

    import flash.events.MouseEvent;

function clickHandler(e:MouseEvent):void
{
	if (e.target.name === "yourButtonName")
		gotoAndStop(2);
}

stop();
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);

     

     

    In this way you don't need to worry about re-adding the listener everywhere.

     

    I hope this helps.

     

    Regards,

    JC
