Question

I am currently trying to make a login system in Flash.

I tried downloading this source:
http://active.tutsplus.com/tutorials/actionscript/create-a-flash-login-system-using-php-and-mysql-part-1/

My only problem at this moment is that I want to make it change to next frame if the value is “1”.

So I changed this:

result_text.text = "" + event.target.data.systemResult;

Into this:

if (event.target.data.systemResult == "1") {
                result_text.text = "Welcome!!";
                this.gotoAndStop('2');
            } else {
                result_text.text = "" + event.target.data.systemResult;
            }

But then it just says “Welcome!!” but it doesn’t go to next frame -.-‘

Does anyone have any ideas?

Answer 1

this is your event in that context, because you’re in an event handling closure.

Try MovieClip(root).gotoAndStop(2);

And make sure you lose the ” from around the 2, as @SrRichie already suggested.

From your screenshot, this should also work:

MovieClip(root).gotoAndStop('LoggedIn');

If root is null (and I haven’t looked through the tutorial you reference in detail, so I’m not sure), you may need to create a variable earlier in your code to refer to root, and then call gotoAndStop on that.
