nextFrame function

nextFrame() : Void

Sends the playhead to the next frame.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Lite 1.0

Example

In the following example, when the user presses the Right or Down arrow key, the playhead

goes to the next frame and stops. If the user presses the Left or Up arrow key, the playhead

goes to the previous frame and stops. The listener is initialized to wait for the arrow key to be

pressed, and the

init variable is used to prevent the listener from being redefined if the

playhead returns to Frame 1.

stop();

if (init == undefined) {

someListener = new Object();

someListener.onKeyDown = function() {

if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) || Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {

_level0.prevFrame();

} else if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) || Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {

_level0.nextFrame();

}

};

Key.addListener(someListener);

init = 1;
