Property Name

[Caden]

Hey all, funny, I can't recall, nor find the actually name of the frame label for referencing it in actionscript...

eg, I want to say -
if (framename = home){
gotoandplay...etc
}

but I can't find the name of the frame label property

thanks

Confusion!

There's no frame label property, not to my knowledge.

You could maybe store your labels in an array, and then with the _currentframe number find the corresponding label... Hard work if you ask me! Especially if you have 2000 frames.

I know there has to be a way to reference your frame label, what the hell is the point of giving it a name then? just to make your stage work easier? I can't believe that

The use of frame labels is usually to direct your movie to that frame...

if(condition == true){
_root.gotoAndPlay("frame_label"
} else {
_root.gotoAndPlay("other_frame_label"
}

I am trying to use it in a slightly different way...so, you have a group of links, you click on one of them, and it takes you 20 frames down, into a label called let's say "products" then, when rolling over the links, if you are in the products section, it will jump to the frames inside, so, eg...

if (framelabel = home){
gotoandplay(1);
}elseif (framelabel = products){
gotoandplay (10);
}

etc...if I can't do it with frame label, i'll just do it a different way, but i'd like to use something like the label to group everything...

get it?
