[MX] Help making video buttons

[CONNOR_LUKE]

I am making buttons to control a video in flash and all is working fine except I would like the fast forward button to continue going forward as you hold it. At the moment I have this code:
on(press) {
videoclip.nextFrame();
}

which works fine except I have to keep clicking it to go forward. I thought something like this might work:
onClipEvent (enterFrame){
on(press) {
videoclip.nextFrame();
}
}
But this are syntax errors. If anyone could help I would be very grateful.

I believe you have to use onEnterFrame

Sorry but how do you use onEnterFrame? Sorry I still new to flash. I tried using it this way but I got a syntax error
onEnterFrame = function() {
on(press) {
videoclip.nextFrame();
}
}
Also thanx for responding :)

no problem.

you can try this



this_btn.onPress = function() {
onEnterFrame = function () {
var frameNum:Number = video._currentframe;
video.gotoAndStop(frameNum+5);
trace(frameNum);
};
};

this_btn.onRelease = function() {
delete onEnterFrame;
};



just incase if you're confused with variable you can remove it, simple change frameNum with video._currentframe and remove trace(frameNum);

so it would look like this:




this_btn.onPress = function() {
onEnterFrame = function () {
video.gotoAndStop(video._currentframe+5);
};
};

this_btn.onRelease = function() {
delete onEnterFrame;
};


good luck
