simple buttons to control timeLine confusion

Hi guys back again already. So I have a button, fire16, controlling the frames of another movieClip on the timeLine, instance named score, which is simply 0-1-2-3-4-5 dots over 6 frames to show the score.

this.fire16.addEventListener("click", fireSweet.bind(this));
function fireSweet()
{
var TP = this.score.timeline.position++;
this.score.gotoAndPlay(TP);
}

Well this code works well for first click, goes from frame 0 to frame 1 every time but after that it almost seems to go off random each new click. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi,

I think it will be simpler to understand your full code.

fix looks simple,

but structure of your code and movieclips are not clear

Can you share your file?

Hi.

It's because when you run var TP = this.score.timeline.position++, the timeline's position is offset by 1 immediately but TP doesn't get the timeline's position + 1 in return because you're using ++ in the end.

Also, you should use gotoAndStop.

Anyway, it's just easier to run this.score.gotoAndStop(this.score.currentFrame + 1), as suggested by k.

As i said in my comments earlier I tried that, in fact that's what I started with, it doesn't work. See my actual code below -

AND --> the only reason i have gotoAndPlay is because i have a stop command on all 6 frames of the score clip

this.fire16.addEventListener("click", fireSweet.bind(this));
function fireSweet()
{
this.pepe.visible=false;
this.shit16.visible=true;
this.shit16.play();

this.score.gotoAndPlay(this.score.currentFrame+1)
}

The approach I explained does work if the code and coditions are the ones you provided in the beginning.
