Question

Making a flash page that can cycle through these three images on mouseclick. For some reason the local changes to count are not reflected on the global one. I tried _global but the syntax was odd and gave me errors. How should I implement this?

import flash.events.Event;

var images:Array = ["images/image.jpg", "images/image2.jpg", "images/image3.jpg"];
var count:int = 0;

forward.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadPhoto);


function loadPhoto(evt:Event){

    if(count>2){
        count = 0;
    }

    trace(count);
    imageFrame.source = images[count];

    count++;

}

A simplified version of the problem would be getting trace to output the number of times you’ve clicked.

import flash.events.Event;

var count:int = 0;

forward.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);

function clickHandler(evt:Event)
{
    trace(count);
    count++; 
}

Answer 1

Any chance that the code is in a frame that is executing multiple times? (because you missed a stop() somewhere, for example)

If so, you might have a problem you hadn’t noticed which is causing this strange behaviour. A simple way to check if this is happening is adding a trace("test") after declaring count (or before, but put it in that frame script).
