_totalframes (MovieClip._totalframes property)

The total number of frames in the movie clip instance.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 4

Example

In the following example, two movie clip buttons control the Timeline. The prev_mc button moves the playhead to the previous frame, and the next_mc button moves the playhead to the next frame. Add content to a series of frames on the Timeline, and add the following ActionScript on Frame 1 of the Timeline:

stop();
prev_mc.onRelease = function() {
    var parent_mc:MovieClip = this._parent;
    if (parent_mc._currentframe>1) {
    parent_mc.prevFrame();
    } else {
    parent_mc.gotoAndStop(parent_mc._totalframes);
    }
};
next_mc.onRelease = function() {
    var parent_mc:MovieClip = this._parent;
    if (parent_mc._currentframe<parent_mc._totalframes) {
    parent_mc.nextFrame();
    } else {
    parent_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
    }
};
