Question

I’m building a quick flash presentation, navigating with the up and down arrows but need to create an if else statement using the current scene’s name.

I have 10 scenes named 01 – 10 but from 7 to 10 are only accessible by from a hidden button and need to find a way to loop the navigate from 01- 06 using the scene name for example:

if scene name = 04 {
   go to nextScene();
} else if scene name = 05 {
   go to nextScene();
} else if scene name = 06 {
   go to scene 02
}

I have all working apart from the if else statement as it goes to next scene with the up arrow but continues up to 10 when I need to go to 6 and start again.

Any help would be great?

Thanks,

Thomas.

create a couple of functions, use one for your key handler and the other for the hidden button like:

function standardScenes(sceneName)
    {
        switch(sceneName)
        {
            case 01:
                gotoAndPlay(sceneName);
            break;

            case 02:
                gotoAndPlay(sceneName);
            break;

            case 03:
                gotoAndPlay(sceneName);
            break;

            case 04:
                gotoAndPlay(sceneName);
            break;

            case 05:
                gotoAndPlay(sceneName);
            break;

            case 06:
                gotoAndPlay(sceneName);
            break;
        }
    }

    function hiddenScenes(sceneName)
    {
        switch(sceneName)
        {
            case 07:
                gotoAndPlay(sceneName);
            break;

            case 08:
                gotoAndPlay(sceneName);
            break;

            case 09:
                gotoAndPlay(sceneName);
            break;

            case 10:
                gotoAndPlay(sceneName);
            break;
        }
    }
