When nothing is pressed, frames 1-8 repeat over and over

when A is pressed, frames 9-18 are played, then returns to playing 1-8

when B is pressed, frames 19-28 are played, then returns to playing 1-8

when C is pressed, frames 29-38 are played, then returns to playing 1-8


How do i do this with action script?

if simpler, how do i do this with actionscript where its blank until a button is pressed, ignore the 1-8 thing.



ive been trying to use

code:

---

on(release) {    this.gotoAndPlay(9);  }

---

but i can't stop it at the end of the sequence,
i cant get it to goto the begining 8 frame
and i cant get it to just repeat the first 8 frames for a bit whilst not playing the others until told to!




any help is appreciated!
thanks!

I will make a quick flash thing for you and upload it... just give me a few minutes and it will be done ;o

edit: quick note... im using flash 8... so hopefully it will work properly for you ;o

ok i have added the attachment with it... its a really rough thing because i did it so quick... only thing you could make to do it better is have the action script for making it go back the the start on another layer so that you dont ahve to copy and paste the last frame in...

and i made movie clip buttons so the action script is on it and that... just have to click the button and you can see the action script in your actions window

wow!

that works AMAZINGLY

thank you SO much! haha

ahh the frame having gotoandplay(1) ... clever

i like that A LOT!!!

thank you SO MUCH!

np... its easy flash stuff really... just a bit of logic ;o
