Help with targetSection?

Report · Feb 23, 2013

I have a elevator interface where 3 buttons that target different sections (floors) on the timeline. Everything is working fine except when I try to click on a button that is not the first floor(which is the first on the timeline). For example, when I go to test movie, and try to click on the buttons for the second or third floor first, the doors open to the content for the first floor. But after that then i can randomly select whichever floor i want. Any tips?

Here is the code I have in the actions layer:

stop();

var targetSection:String = "";

button_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);

button_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);

button_3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);

function onClick(e:MouseEvent){

switch(e.target.name) {

case "button_1":

targetSection = "floor1";

break;

case "button_2":

targetSection = "floor2";

break;

case "button_3":

targetSection = "floor3";

break;

}

play();

}

And at the end of each transition:

gotoAndPlay(targetSection);

try:

stop();
var targetSection:String = "";
button_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
button_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
button_3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick(e:MouseEvent){
     switch(e.currentTarget.name) {
                     case "button_1":
                     targetSection = "floor1";
                     break;
                     case "button_2":
                     targetSection = "floor2";
                     break;
                     case "button_3":
                     targetSection = "floor3";
                     break;
           }
play();
}
And at the end of each transition:
gotoAndPlay(targetSection);

if that fails use the trace() function to debug your code.
