play next 5 frames and then GoTo

[eschacha]

Hi there

I have a button, which when clicked I want to continue playing the movie for
an additional 5 frames, then go to the desired location. I can do this by
having the button "play" and then 5 frames later using a "GoToandPlay". This is
no good if I have several buttons with different destinations however. Can I
actionscript the button to "play next 5 frames and then GoTo"?

Set a variable to different value depending on which button is pressed. On
the frame with your gotoAndPlay command, use the variable:

btnBut0.onPress = function(){
sNextFrame = "portfolio";
play();
}

btnBut1.onPress = function(){
sNextFrame = "clients";
play();
}

Then on the 5th frame:
gotoAndPlay(sNextFrame)
