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.

Regards,

JC

Also, this is not just off by one frame, it's random after the first click. It's some kind of timing issue. seems to depend when i click the button

no :(( thought it was for a sec there. As long as I shoot while I'm still on the correct button, ( which i know i am because i've only written code for that 1 button so far, then it shouldn't matter where he is in that 4 or so frame rotation. Dang I was just grasping at straws i guess. Still not sure what's wrong..
