Dynamic Text PLZ HELP

[smurf123]

Please help me. I'm using flash MX and i have a dynamic text named "Number". I have the "5" written in it. I am using the "If" condition but i'm not getting it to work right. So i was wondering if there was any way to make it so each time you push a button, the text changes.
This is what i tried to use with the "If" condition.

on (release) {
if (Number=="5") {
}
Number = "8";
if (Number=="8") {
}
Number = "50ded";
}


For some reason this wont work. Please write down a script i can use that will work.

and when I put the text changes, I didnt mean just a random text, i meant what i wanted it to change to.

[blake]

on (release) {
if (Number=="5") { Number = "8"
}
else if (Number=="8") { Number = "50ded";
}}

any trouble just ask :wink:

Um. I have one question.What script will i use so when the text gets to 1, and an action happens???? Also wut item will i put this script on?

[blake]

this script goes on a button with a dynamic text box labled number.

im not sure what you meant when you said when the script gets to 1, because the script i gave you only goes to 50ded ?????

but this is one if it equals 50ded it will do an action (gotoAndPlay)



on (release) {
if (Number=="5") { Number = "8"
}
else if (Number=="8") { Number = "50ded";
}
else if (Number=="50ded") { gotoAndPlay (2)
}}

im not sure if this is what you meant but i tried my best

cheers, Blake

p.s. i didnt test it so im not sure if it will work

[smurf123]

wut i mean is i have the root for the number going down each second.
its

for a MC and it has 2 frames
second frame has


_root.number-=1
and i want to make it so on frame 1 in movie when the number becomes 1, an action will happen.

[blake]

ok put this in your second frame on your movie clip, once again i didnt test it.




if (_root.Number=="1") { "action" }
else {_root.number-=1 }

Umm. I wrote this script and it didnt work. Tell me what will make it work please.I WROTE IT IN THE FRAME JUST SO YOU KNOW!!

if (_root.sec == "1") {
gotoAndStop(2);
}

[blake]

ehh...
the only thing i can think of is the variable in the dynamic text box, make sure it is called sec , also make sure that the text box is on the stage and not in any other movie clips or else it would look summin like this
if (_root.movieclipvariable.sec == "1") {
gotoAndStop(2);
}

if none of this helps add an attachment with the fla. on your next post so we can play around with what you have

cheers, Blake
