action script on a button and dynamic textbox???

[Jennyucf]

Hi, there

I have difficulty in achieving the following effect:

Press button 1, the numbers in dynamic text box adds continuously; Release button 1, the numbers stopped.

I put the dynamic textbox in the mc "figure".I tried it in two frames, with
stop() in the first frame
gotoAndPlay(1) in the second frame

And for button, I put the following action:
on (press) {
n = 3;
n = Number+1;
}
on (release) {
tellTarget (_root.figure) {
stop ();
}
}

But, it DIDN'T WORK AT ALL. What is the problem?? Please take an "expert" look at it. Thank you!!

I'm sorry, here, I'll try to help...look for 'continuous feedback button' on flashkit.com It should get you started on what your trying to do...

As soon as you make that button, you can put the actionscript in it to make it advance...it should be pretty similar to the code you have there, unless dynamic text boxes can't be called like that...in that case, you might just add to a variable and then have the text box assigned to that variable.
