Button that can change a variable?

Question

HelloI'm currently doing my year 13 ICT coursework and was trying to find an easier solution for my button/ navigation system.My product has several scenes; a home page, 4 subsection pages and a quiz page.currently when I press a button (to go from the home to a subsection for example) it jumps to the page like needed however I need to add in transitions, I could add in new scenes that would contain the separate transition but personally I think that would take too long creating a scene for every transition needed for the product so I was wondering, is it possible to combine a variable with a button?My idea was that on the home page there are 4 main variables, 1 for each button.Then when a button is pressed it will continue to play the scene while changing the variable by +1          (so in this case, button A will change var A to +1 and continue to play)Then when the transition has ended there would be some script of "if statements" saying:        if variable A = 1 then continue to subsection Aalso I would then need to subsection page to reset the variables back to 0, ready to use againI hope this question make sense, if it does not please let me knowthanks

sure.you can have 'outro' scene that would display the fade-out or some other transiition out from your main scene and use the variable set by your button to determine which scene to display after the outro:eg:var nextscene_var:String;scene1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,scene1F);function scene1F(e:MouseEvent):void{nextscene='scene1';gotoAndPlay(1,'outro');}scene2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,scene2F);function scene2F(e:MouseEvent):void{nextscene='scene2';gotoAndPlay(1,'outro');}//etc// on the last frame of your outro scene:gotoAndPlay(1,nextscene);
