Problem using a button inside a movieclip, and making a button change what it does on diffferent frames.

Question

First issue is that I cannot get any coding inside my movieclip to affect the main timeline.

Going as simple as possible, I reduced it down to

"

parent.nextFrame();

"

I thought less coding meant less room for mistakes, but it still does nothing at all.

Next issue is my button ignoring my IF statement.

"

if (this._currentframe != 4 || 10 || 16 || 22 || 28 || 34 || 40 || 46 || 52 || 58 || 64 || 70) {

prevFrame();

} else {

gotoAndStop(3);

}

"

This button is doing prevFrame no matter what frame it is on.

I read tutorials and kept using code people offered as solutions, but nothing has helped. Quick replies appreciated, I've got a deadline for this. Thankyou

you should NOT use any coding in that movieclip other than stop(), play(), and the goto's.

but, if you CAN use coding in that movieclip to control the parent movieclip. eg,

_parent.nextFrame();

and that button code should be:

if (this._currentframe != 4 ||this._currentframe != 10 ||this._currentframe != 16 || this._currentframe !=22 || this._currentframe !=28 || this._currentframe !=34 || this._currentframe !=40 || this._currentframe !=46 || this._currentframe !=52 || this._currentframe !=58 || this._currentframe !=64 || this._currentframe !=70) {

prevFrame();

} else {

gotoAndStop(3);

}
