letting a cycle play to a given point before changing scenes

Question

HI,
I'm new to this forum. I have a question. I have a two scenes. Scene 1 is a cycle 100 frames long. I have a button in the scene, and when I press it, I go to the next scene. I have been able to get this to work.
The problem is when I press the button it goes immediately to the next scene regardless of where it is in the animation, so it looks like a glitch. (Frame 50 of scene 1 is identical to frame 1 of scene 2)
How do I fix it, so that if I press the button that the animation will continue to play until it reaches frame 50 and then go to scene 2?

Thanks a lot for any help

Conor

Create a Boolean variable in frame 1 that you use in a conditional in frame 50 and have that conditional process the command to go to the next scene. When you click the button have it change the value of that variable.

//frame 1

var gotoNextScene:Boolean = false;

yourBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, changeSceneVariable)

function changeSceneVariable(evt:MouseEvent):void {

gotoNextScene = true;

}

// frame 50

if(gotoNextScene){

gotoAndPlay(1, "scene2");

}
