so I got this function that check the currentframe and depending on it's number goes to the nextframe or to the next frame in a loaded movie clip.

my question, any tutorials on condenseing code?

here are 27 same but differnet if statements, there's got to be a way to shorten this?


function pageforward() {
resettitle();
if (frameLabel == "intro") {
gotoAndStop("page_01");
}
if (frameLabel == "page_01" and _root.page_MC._currentframe == _root.page_MC._totalframes) {
gotoAndStop("page_02");

} else if (frameLabel == "page_01" and _root.page_MC._currentframe != _root.page_MC._totalframes) {
_root.page_MC.nextFrame();
}
if (frameLabel == "page_02" and _root.page_MC._currentframe == _root.page_MC._totalframes) {
gotoAndStop("page_03");

} else if (frameLabel == "page_02" and _root.page_MC._currentframe != _root.page_MC._totalframes) {
_root.page_MC.nextFrame();
}

you could switch on framelabel and currentframe .... may not be much help....

and should be &&

yes, your right && but and does work, just a habbit I guess.

I know there got to be a way to make this if statement smaller?

thanks

try this...its on the right lines but might be quite there yet...means renaming some of the pages page_02 has become page_2

Code: 
function pageforward() {
    resettitle();
x = _root.page_MC._totalframes;
y = _root.page_MC._currentframe;
my_arr = [];
for(i=1;i<28;i++)
my_arr.push(&quot;page_&quot; + i);
if (frameLabel == &quot;intro&quot;) {
    gotoAndStop(&quot;page_1&quot;);
}
for(i=0;i<my_arr.length;i++)
	if(framelabel == my_arr[i])
		if(x==y)
		gotoAndStop(my_arr[i+1])
		else
		nextFrame();
}
