Re[2]: [Gnash-dev] gotoAndPlay() bug (was: Detect if a AS variable is visible in any variable?)

Hello strk,

Thanks. Just noticed what I said about in the original posting is not
true anymore.

However, I just noticed a weird behaviour of gotoAndPlay(): When it's
argument is a constant, then it works fine. However, when I pass a
variable to it, then it jumps to the frame after the desired one.

Maybe gotoAndPlay(<constant>) is translated to a static SWF tag?

Anyway, I tried to find the reason for this and noticed
sprite_instance::sprite_goto_and_play() gets never called in either
cases. Where is gotoAndPlay() handled?

Simple testcase:

-----------8<-------------------------------------------------------------

// assuming this code to be in frame 3 !

var temp = _currentframe;

if (temp==3)
        trace("PASS: _currentframe reports frame "+temp);
else
        trace("FAIL: _currentframe reports frame "+temp);

gotoAndPlay(temp);
//gotoAndPlay(3);   // <-- works

if (_currentframe == temp) 
        trace("PASS: _currentframe="+_currentframe);
else
        trace("FAIL: _currentframe="+_currentframe+" instead of being "+temp);


-----------8<-------------------------------------------------------------

Gnash reports:
10:10:41: PASS: _currentframe reports frame 3
10:10:41: FAIL: _currentframe=4 instead of being 3
