Duplicate function on Menu

[jackh8500410]

Hi,

I've made a menu which currently has 2 buttons to go to different frames.

In my actions I have `stop();` on each frame so it doesn't repeatedly loop.

I have added code for 2 buttons which is;

stop();

//click btnTests and go to revision tools

instTest.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_5);

function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_5(event:MouseEvent):void

{

  gotoAndStop(4);

}

//click btnResources and go to resources

instResources.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_5);

function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_5(event:MouseEvent):void

{

  gotoAndStop(3);

}

The error I get is 'duplicate function', but I don't know of a way to not have the same function twice.

What do I need to do to have 2 clickable buttons to go to different frames?

Thanks,
Jack

give the function different names (eg, 1.) or use one function and use a conditional statement (eg, 2.):

1.

instTest.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, f4);

function f4(event:MouseEvent):void

{

  gotoAndStop(4);

}

//click btnResources and go to resources

instResources.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, f3);

function f3(event:MouseEvent):void

{

  gotoAndStop(3);

}

2.

instTest.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, f);

//click btnResources and go to resources

instResources.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, f);

function fl(event:MouseEvent):void

{

if(e.currentTarget.name=='instTest'){

gotoAndStop(4);

} else {
gotoAndStop(5);

}

}

Thanks kglad - I named them instead of using conditional. I like simple!

Thanks again!
