If frame in movieclip = 375, then in the main scene to frame 37

[sfinksred]

Hey guys
I really looked for this everywhere, I tried in every way by myself, but of course didn't work.
Using AS2
So basically, I would like to have something like this:

if
frame INSIDE movieclip_mc = 375
then
gotoAndPlay in the MainScene frame 37

I also thought about putting a code on this 375 frame of movieclip, which would like smth like this:

_root.gotoandplay("MainScene",37);

but it also didnt work.

If you can help, pleae do, as it is my coursework =)

Many thanks.

Ok. So. Sorry if this is really too late for you.

You would put this code outside of the movieclip. But of course, you need to type the code correctly, then it will work fine. Just remember, do not put this kind of code inside the movieclip. Put it in the MainScene frame. As a plus, you won't have to worry about typing _root ever again!

yep, but the thing is, i dont know how to write this kind of code, and I'm asking for that)

Then my question is... why are you programming?

[sfinksred]

then my question is... have you read my first post? :P
I need that for my coursework, which is my first time doing smth with flash and AS2. I've done quite a lot, but I have problem only with this thing. If you can help me, please do

I didn't mean why are you doing your homework. I want to know why you are programming at all. If it is part of your coursework, then you should have already had instruction on how to do what you are trying to do. But you posting here shows otherwise. So your course must not be a programming course. In which case, why are you programming?

Also, when you say that you've done quite a lot, what do you mean by that? Have you done a lot of flash, or actionscript? If you have done a lot of actionscript, then read my first post and do that, and you should be good to go. However, if you've only done a lot of flash, then what class are you taking that requires you to program but doesn't give you the basics to programming?

In any case, those posts have little to do with solving your problem. So, if you are in dire need of some code, then I'll post some later when I am at home and have time.

[sfinksred]

now I'm at home, and i dont have my teacher to help me. It's ICT, not computing, so that's why.
If you can help, please doo, beacuse I rly need that one. and I am sure that for you, it's really simple.

Put this code in the main timeline. I believe this is the correct code for ActionScript 2.0. So try it out and tell me what it does.

if (movieclip_mc._currentframe == 375)
{
     gotoAndPlay(37);
}

Should be good to go.
