Auto increment problem?

[Mark__G]

I am ashamed that I can't seem to figure this out. I just need AS code that sets a variable starting at 1 and then auto increments to 7 then resets back to 1.

var num:Number = 1;
function increaseByOne() {
   if(num > 7) {
      num = 1;
   }
   else {
      num++;
   }
}

How do I get the function to loop and then call the variable

e.g.

gotoAndStop(num);

[Mark__G]

Please advise on why this is not working?

	var num:Number = 1;
	function increaseByOne() {
   	if(num > 7) {
      num = 1;
   	}
   	else {
      num++;
   	  }
	}
	
	i = num;
	increaseByOne(i);
	_root.partners.logos.gotoAndStop(i);

Please explain what you're trying to do in exact terms. I can't make sense of the extra code you've posted.

I have a mc that just has a fade in, pause, then fade out...

Within this mc I have 7 frames, each with a different logo.

I am trying to just direct the mc to that logo and do it sequentially from frame 1 (logo 1).

[Medyman]

Alright...try this:

var frame:Number = 1;
function playNext() {
   if(frame > 7) {
      gotoAndStop(1);  // or gotoAndPlay(), whatever you need
   }
   else {
      frame++;
      gotoAndStop(frame)
   }
}

Then, call playNext() wherever/however you're going to the next frame. If you want it on a timer, use setInterval.

This is doing the same thing that I already had? If I place the AS in my mc tween area and then call the function within an onEnterFrame function it doesn't work. If I do the same from the mc itself that contains all my logos it just rapidly cycles through the logos without any sort of fade in/out tween.

[Medyman]

You shouldn't be calling this with an onEnterFrame. That calls the function once per frame -- overkill!

Use setInterval to have a continuous loop.
