Question

Make button load scene once the current scene is done

I've been looking everywhere on how to do this, and can't find anything!

So, I have this code right here -

button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goScene2);

function goScene2(event:MouseEvent):void {

  gotoAndPlay(1,"Scene 2");

}

So, lets say scene 1 has 40 frames.  Someone clicks on the button to go to the next scene at frame 10.  I want it to continue to frame 40, then change to the next scene.

Keep in mind that the 40 frame scene is on loop, so it could loop 4 or 5 times, then someone clicks next scene.  So, I want it to finish the loop, then go to the next scene.

set a variable at the beginning of your movie:

var clicked:Boolean = false;

then in your MouseEvent set it to true

function goScene2(event:MouseEvent):void {

  clicked = true;

}

then in the 40th frame of your first scene:

if(clicked){

gotoAndPlay(1,"Scene 2");

}

else{

// continue the loop

gotoAndPlay(1,"Scene1);

}

I'm getting an argument error -

Error #2108: Scene Scene1 was not found.

  at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndPlay()

  at MyMovie_fla::MainTimeline/frame40()

I have this for frame 1-39 -

"var clicked:Boolean = false;

button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goScene2);

function goScene2(event:MouseEvent):void {

  clicked = true;

}"

And this for frame 40 -

"if(clicked){

gotoAndPlay(1,"Scene 2");

}

else{

gotoAndPlay(1,"Scene1");

}"

"Scene1" is a name I made up for demonstration purposes, you have to exchange it with the name of your actual first scene
