Problem with changing frame when object collides an object..

[miksu174]

Im making a small flash lite application.. it will be a game actually..
So, theres 2 parts, one part that spins while its pressed down and another part wich checks if the spinning part touches the part. When i spin the object and it touches the square, it prints to output that they collide, but after the print thing i have gotoAndStop(45); wich doesnt run? the text shows up but it wont change frame?

Looks like a general Flash issue, which are better answered by Adobe:

Hi Mikusu,
Try this :

 _root.gotoAndStop(45);

Hi Miksu174,
Actually, this issue is all because of coding. I think to fix this issue one have to take a look at your code.So, you can place the buggy part of your app or create a new app having this issue only. Mostly, it is good to try simple things firsts and see whether it is changing frame or not. For example :

if (spin.hitTest(square) ) 
{
gotoAndStop(45);
}

One more advice make sure your code is placed on the root frame instead of an object frame.

Yes, as Sajid says, we need more clarity on your situation and your implementation..
Thanks

Heres the code thats in the spinning part:

on (press) {
pressed=true;
}
on (release) {
pressed=false;
}


onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(pressed==true){
_root.Lever._rotation += 2;

if(_root.Lever.hitTest(_root.hit)){
gotoAndStop(46);
trace( "Frame changed" );
}

}
}

When i run it and press the Lever it starts spinning, and when it hits a block called "hit" it should change the frame and print "Frame changed" to output, but when the lever touches hit, it just prints "frame changed" but doesnt change frame.

Hi miksu174,
As expected, I am sure that frame 47 lies on root ?? if yes try one of the following approach :
1- Change gotoAndStop statement like this :

_root["gotoAndStop"](46);

2- Labeled the frame 46 (lets say its name is "Jump" ) then change the gotoAndStop line like this :

_root.gotoAndStop("Jump");

3- [AS 2 Approach] Instead of putting the event on the spinning part, put the code on the keyframe containing the spinning part like this (Lets say the instance name of your spinning part is "spin":

spin.onPress = function()
{
pressed=true;
}
spin.on.Release = function()
{
pressed=false;
}
spin.onEnterFrame = function()
{
if(pressed==true){
_root.Lever._rotation += 2;
if(_root.Lever.hitTest(_root.hit)){ 
gotoAndStop(46);
trace( "Frame changed" ); 
}
}

One of the above solution have to solve your issue if frame 46 lies on the root. If not please let us know.

Thanks! I replaced gotoAndStop(46); with _root["gotoAndStop"](46); and everything is working fine!
