Nice tips man thanks for the help! I just now found out how much more AS3 can do for you than AS2! :D I am about to commit myself to learning it!

on(release){
     gotoAndPlay(2);
}

goes to...

[object name here].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame);

function fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame(event:MouseEvent):void
{
	gotoAndPlay(5);
}

Hi, Josh!

May I add my collection of AS3 tutorials here? It’s a collection of beginners tutorials that I’ve written over the years, and I add more to it from time to time. I mostly use it for classes I teach at a university. Here is the link:
