Greetings,

Does anyone know how to get actionscript
to get a button to "gotoNextMarker" or
"gotoPrevMarker"?

According to "Macro... Flash MX Freehand 10 Advanced Training from the
Source"
.... one of its chapters says "
Markers are your friends. Use them to keep track of significant events in
the timeline. Later, you'll learn how to use ActionScript commands to jump
from marker to marker within a timeline. "

Unfortunately, I do not have this book.

Regards,
Toe Cutter

Hi again,

When I used the word 'marker', I really meant 'frame label'.
Any ideas?

Put the following code on the button:

on (release) {
gotpAndPlay("Frame Label:);
}

Hi Again,

Here is where I'm at:

}
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
framelabelArray = ["N01","N02","N02","N03"];
label = 0; // start at index 0, so 'home'
gotoNextLabel = function () {
// go to next label
// add 1 to 'label'
label++;
// get appropriate framelabel
var framelabel = framelabelArray[label];
// move main timeline to that label
_root.gotoAndPlay(framelabel);
}
// to call:
gotoNextLabel();
}

The first time I click I go from N01 to N02,
but then it stops going forward/working. Any ideas?

Regards,
Toe Cutter

It loooks to me like you're starting over each time you click because you have
everything inside the onClipEvent. Try setting everything up in the actions
for the first frame of the movie. The only thing you need in the onClipEvent is
the call to your function.
