Re: changing substring to a variable number


var frameVar:Number = 1;

function loadImageLarge(event:MouseEvent):void
{
//////////trace button
/////////////goes to the scene of the button clicked
var myString:String = (event.target.name);
mediaData_mc.photosFadeUp_mc.photosData_mc.photoLargeLoad_mc.gotoAndStop(myString);
var mySubstring = (myString.substring(5,7));
var myNewNumber:Number = (mySubstring);
//myNewNumber = Number(frameVar);
var frameVar:Number = (myNewNumber);
trace("this is myString "+myString);//////output///this is myString image9
trace("this is the Substring "+mySubstring);/////output///this is myString image9
trace("this is the myNewNumber "+myNewNumber);/////output///this is myNewNumber 9
trace("this is the frameVar "+frameVar);/////output///this is the frameVar 9
}


output////////////
go to this nextArrow_btn frameVar 1 in the Gallery section

but at the end it refers back to the original frameVar value of 1
