Well, of course nextFrame works, but only the first time around in an
app I've been asked to look at (not my app).
In this AS3 app targetting FP9, we have a bunch of nested movieclips.
Interaction with the app involves dragging and dropping a movieclip to
the right target then paging through a number of frames, one at a time,
in a nested movieclip using gotoAndStop().
Essentially it's a quiz kind of thing - drag the movieclip over the
correct target selects the correct movieclip to display and then a
button is used to page through the frames of the chosen movieclip.
It works beautifully for the first choice. After the next drag and drop,
the chosen movieclip is left showing frame 1. Perfect. Click on the
button, advance to frame 2, that's all that's required, but it won't
move to frame 2.
I have investigated targeting the wrong MC in some way and using
enterframe events to move the movieclip along, but it won't budge.
totalFrames for the movieclip is greater than 1. There are no errors.
Code works fine until the second drag and drop. As far as I can tell I'm
just trying to tell a movieclip that has two frames to move to frame 2.
Traces tell me it's on frame 1 and following a call to gotoAndStop(2) it
reports being in frame 1, but never traces being in Frame 2.
It sounds absolutely crazy, I know. I can't share the code, nor make an
example.
Any thoughts before I change the way this thing has been written to
simplify what it's doing? changing the target to FP10 made no difference.
