Question

Removing a Button Event Listener on a Specific Frame and Reactivating it on Next Frame

Hi , i am trying to develop a Slideshow where Next Button needs to behave in a certain way on a specific Frame , lets say a Specific Condition is met only then Next Button would work , I have been able to achieve that but problem is the Button Retains its Event Listener even on the next Frame , whereas i have already included removeEventListener on the next frame with a new Function for the button , but its doesnt take it like that.

Can anyone help please ?

Thanks man , I wil try to sqeezet a little if I can , I am just new so I am asking a lot of Dumb questions I know.

as of nextframe9 is concerned , I am trying to ensure that if the Movie Clip (pop1) is already on the stage when user clicks that , and count has already gone 1 since it popped up , the event listener should remove it off the stage and move on to next Slide , Idea is that we donot let the user Ignore the Notice. its working for me for now , unless of course if I am doing something fundamentally wrong here:(

HERE IS WHY I DID WHAT I DID

Show the code you are using for that button for the different frames.

Hello Ned,

I have fixed the issue with few Frame , but where we have the conditions to be met on two consecutive frames , I am not able to achieve that.

here is the Code on my first Frame.

FRAME1

stop();

slidecounter.text = String(this.currentFrame - 1 + "/" + indexframe);
mc_prog.width = 0;

      prevFrame();

}

function unloadbtn3 (e:MouseEvent):void {
removeChild(pop3);

}
//SLIDE COUNTER

and here is the Code on all the Frames where I need to call in specific Listeners

FOR EXAMPLE ON FRAME 8,9,10,

Here Is the Code ,

FRAME 8

stop();
slidecounter.text = String(this.currentFrame - 1 + "/" + indexframe);
count = 0;
backcounter = 0;

btn_nxt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , fl_ClickToGoToNextFrame);
btn_bck.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, backbtn);
btn_bck.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , backbtnscript1);
btn_nxt.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , nextframe9);
pop1.closebtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, unloadbtn1);
//btn_notice1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , loadnotice1);

FRAME 9

stop();
slidecounter.text = String(this.currentFrame - 1 + "/" + indexframe);

//POPUP FUNCTION

count = 0;
btn_nxt.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , fl_ClickToGoToNextFrame);
btn_bck.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, backbtn);
btn_bck.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , backbtnscript1);
btn_nxt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , nextframe9);
btn_notice1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , loadnotice1);

FRAME 10

stop();
slidecounter.text = String(this.currentFrame - 1 + "/" + indexframe);

count = 0;
backcounter = 0;

btn_nxt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , fl_ClickToGoToNextFrame);
btn_bck.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, backbtn);
btn_bck.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , backbtnscript1);
btn_nxt.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , nextframe9);
pop1.closebtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, unloadbtn1);

I am repeating this Pattern on each frame set where I need these Listeners ,

Problem is with the next one where I have two consecutive frames have different conditions to meet, any ideas how would I disable and enable listeners respectively on these frames ?

I hope I am not confusing this very much ?;(

There's a bit too much code for me to tell what the problem is. If you can limit what you show to the code that is giving you a problem it will help.

A quick review of your nextframe9 function makes me wonder about it. Regardless whether or not pop1 is present, you add it anyways, and the count doesn't change when you do.
