advance to next frame 2

[kushpa]

okay, i'm feeling very foolish here . . . i used to use flash pretty regularly, but haven't in almost 2 years. i'm now working on a project and trying to do the simplest of techniques -- a simple "back and forward one frame" action.

here's my script:

on (release) {
prevFrame();
}

but when i preview, nothing. is there some drastic change that's taken place between flash4 and 2004mx?

even this isn't working:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(10);
}

these are actionscripts applied to movieclips. can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?

A button in a movie clip?

on (release) {
this.nextFrame();
}

actually it should be this:

on (release) {
_parent.gotoAndStop(2);
}

this tells the parent of the movie clip to move.

It actually depends on which timeline you wish to move!

If in the clip itself, then my code, not his!

If the main timeline, yes his, and not mine!

AHAH! Yes of course, he's right, it depends on what your trying to move. Another option is you could use the first code if you changed the instance type. When you click on the movie clip itself when your editing it, above the instance name you can change the way an object acs. if it was a button, then you could have used the first code.
