Forcing Loop Finish

Hi.

One approach you can follow is to have a variable to store the next scene you want to navigate to and then in the last frame of each scene you call the gotoAndStop method passing the value of that variable.

Here is an example with 3 buttons and 3 scenes.

AS3 code:

[Scene 1]

Frame 1

import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var destination:String;
function setScene1(e:MouseEvent):void
{
    destination = "Scene 1";
    play();
}
function setScene2(e:MouseEvent):void
{
    destination = "Scene 2";
    play();
}
function setScene3(e:MouseEvent):void
{
    destination = "Scene 3";
    play();
}
stop();
scene1Button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, setScene1);
scene2Button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, setScene2);
scene3Button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, setScene3);

Frame 120 (the last one)

gotoAndStop(1, destination);

[Scene 2]

Frame 1

import flash.events.MouseEvent;
scene1Button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, setScene1);
scene2Button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, setScene2);
scene3Button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, setScene3);

Frame 120 (the last one)

gotoAndStop(1, destination);

[Scene 3]

Frame 1

import flash.events.MouseEvent;
scene1Button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, setScene1);
scene2Button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, setScene2);
scene3Button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, setScene3);

Frame 120 (the last one)

gotoAndStop(1, destination);

I hope this helps.

Could you make it so that clicking a button sets a variable instead of immediately jumping to another scene? At the end each scene you could test the value of this variable and either repeat the current scene or jump to another scene.
