actionscript 3 - Detect Current Frame within labeled Timeline -

i need make animation called swing, done once when player hit spacebar or something. player have labeled timeline each label called ac3 , swap current label new one, problem facing need use mc once, , once finished go idle label. tried check currentframe '1' , not increasing, used solutions here :

stopping on last frame (flash)

with no luck @ all. not dealing actual mc, dealing frame , inside frame mc.

any ideas ?

so see images need check frame of player.totoswing.currentframe, before make sure totoswing movieclip exists inside player. may not exist if currentframe of player not 5.

so check current frame of animation this:

if(player.totoswing)     trace(player.totoswing.currentframe); 

if want stop @ last frame can add stop() scirpt on last frame of totoswing movieclip.

if want know when totoswing animation goes end can following:

if(player.totoswing) {     player.totoswing.addeventlistener(event.enter_frame, ontotoswingframe);     player.totoswing.play(); }  function ontotoswingframe(e:event):void {     if(e.target.currentframe == e.target.totalframes)     {         //animation has ended         e.target.removeeventlistener(event.enter_frame, ontotoswingframe);         // whatever want. ex. play idle state     } } 

we first add listener enter_frame event of player.totoswing movieclip, fires event everytime advances frame. in event handler (ontotoswingframe) check if player.totoswing current frame equal total frames , if stop playback , know animation has finished. don't need enter_frame listener anymore remove it.
