Problems Overriding setInterval with Button onRelease

Question

Hi.
I'm successfully jumping between playing Frame 1 and Frame 2
using the functions below and setIntervals ...
( The following code is in Frame 1 main timeline ... )
stop();
/ / this advances to the next frame
var myInterval:Number;
function proceed() {
nextFrame();
clearInterval(myInterval);
myInterval = setInterval(proceed,15000);
// The code below is in Frame 2 of the main timeline
stop();
// the following function goes back a frame
var myInterval:Number;
function receed() {
clearInterval(myInterval);
prevFrame();
myInterval = setInterval(receed,9000);
Everything gets all jacked up when I try and add a button to
escape the flipping between Frame 1 and 2 and jump to Frame 5. My
button is in frame 1. The following script is on Frame 1 of main
Timeline and instead of going to Frame 5 when the button is pressed
it just goes to the Next Frame (not overriding setInterval??)
//FLASH GLOSSY BUTTON
//designed and developed by [email protected]
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
//functions used for the event handlers
function over(){
var myTween:Tween = new
Tween(this.btn_mask,"_alpha",Strong.easeOut,this.btn_mask._alpha,50,2,true);
function out(){
var myTween:Tween = new
Tween(this.btn_mask,"_alpha",Strong.easeOut,this.btn_mask._alpha,0,2,true);
function press(){
this._y +=3;
this._x +=3;
// Want to go to Frame 5 on release of button ...
function release(){
this._y -=3;
this._x -=3;
clearInterval(myInterval);
gotoAndPlay("5");
function releaseoutside(){
var myTween:Tween = new
Tween(this.btn_mask,"_alpha",Strong.easeOut,this.btn_mask._alpha,0,2,true);
this._y -=3;
this._x -=3;
//button1 events
btn1.onRollOver = over;
btn1.onRollOut = out;
btn1.onPress = press;
btn1.onRelease = release;
btn1.onReleaseOutside = releaseoutside;
Any suggestions?
Sincerely,

Answer 1

unless your frame is labeled with the string 5, you should
use:
gotoAndStop(5).
and if it is labeled with the string 5 you should change it.
it's problematic to use flash names that start with a
number.
