MC array

[Adam14]

Hi everyone. Hoping someone can help me with this one. I have this code in the first frame of my movie:

_root.fade2.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.fade.gotoAndPlay(2);
i = 1;
pArray = new Array("pic"+i);
_root[pArray].gotoAndPlay(2);

function goOn() {
var j = 1;
p2Array = new Array("pic"+j);
_root[p2Array].gotoAndPlay(4);
}
setInterval(goOn, 2500);
i++;


I have MCs named pic1, pic2, pic3, and pic4. Using the above code, pic1 plays frame 2, and then frame 4 well th interval is up. My question is, why is my "i" not incrementing after the interval is done, and then have pic2 gotoAndPlay(2)? I mean, nothing happens...Any ideas?

Thanks, Adam

Where's the loop that's incrementing it?

Hey old, thanks for gettin' back to me so quickly. I have this on the first frame and another keyframe in the second. But, going twith your suggestion, and my ineptness, I changed it to:

_root.fade2.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.fade.gotoAndPlay(2);

pArray = new Array();
for (var i = 1; i < 10; i++)
_root[&quot;pic&quot;+i].gotoAndPlay(2);


function goOn() {

p2Array = new Array(&quot;pic&quot;+j);
for (var j = 1; j < 5; j++)
_root[&quot;pic&quot;+j].gotoAndPlay(4);

}
setInterval(goOn, 2500);


So, now it increments, but all four pictures appear, right after each other. Is there some way I can increment the &quot;i&quot; from the MC timeline? Or am I waaaay off?

thanks,
Adam
