I have 17 buttons, instance names are button1, button2, button 3, etc. Each button needs to go to a different frame, those are labeled as part1, part2, part3, etc. This code only works for buttons 10-17: [code]for (i=1; i<=17; i++) { _root["button"+i].onPress = function() { myVar = getProperty(this, _name); getCharacter = myVar.charAt(6); getCharacter2 = myVar.charAt(7); if (getCharacter2>=1) { gotoAndStop("part"+getCharacter+getCharacter2); } else { gotoAndStop("part"+getCharacter); } }; }[/code] I believe it is a problem with my if and else statements. Can anyone help?

Replies Sol Posted at 9:19 pm on Mar. 31, 2005 You mean I'm not the only one who struggles with actionscript? Hmm, since you have it figured out I dont have to screw my gray matter trying to figure out whats wrong here. I wonder how many people on lw are familar with actionscript. I'd like to have someone who can share my misery and kiss my boo boos when Flash kicks my butt. PiXiE Posted at 4:12 pm on Mar. 13, 2005 Haha, so true. They are just in it for the points. DAMN THEM! lauriebebe91 Posted at 4:09 pm on Mar. 13, 2005 Flash can be a pain.  This is the first time I've seen anyone make a topic in here, I was waiting for people to respond and go "I DONT KNOW WHAT YOURE TALKING ABOUT", because people on here seem to find it neccessary to let everyone know when they don't understand a topic. PiXiE Posted at 4:08 pm on Mar. 13, 2005 Nevermind! I figured it out. I had changed the names of the labels while playing around and forget to switch them back. I hate flash.
