Actionscript 3.0 help QUICK!

[Brandlax]

ok, i am relly messed up...im currently developing a flash game..and there in frame 1, i have many instances (movieClip), event listeners, etc. But the problem is, when i tell it to go to the next frame, it shows an error saying this cannot be found or other things...

how do i make it like when it will go to next frame, it will remove all contents of current frame?

Maybe convert to symbols and then

SYMBOLNAME._x = -1000;

?

Hi im prity new to actionscript myself so i dont know how right i am.

Are you using frame labels because i think when using AS to control the timeline you need to use frame labels and in the script point it to the label rather than the frame

as i say im still new to it myself so if im wrong i appoligeis

Ok chill... the mc that you are trying to access... should either have the same instance name and be present on all frames... (the layer in the timeline must stretch across the number of frames)

A better option would be to use all the mc's directly from the library by providing them with a linkage id and then attaching it on stage as you need them... less fuss... less complications.

Cheers!

btw you should not put all your codes and events in a single frame if your using multiple frames try having some documented class file, and use each function in your documented class in specific frames where you want your certain action applied to, btw when you go to the next frame all your code is gone cause the specific action is applied on a specific frame. your contents wont be gone if you applied some documented class..
