Exit Event when move to other frame in AS3 - actionscript-3

Question

I trying to get an event when move from one frame to another in AS3.
I have tried with the EXIT_FRAME it always calling.
I need to get state when move from one frame to another.
addEventListener(Event.EXIT_FRAME,exitfunc);
function exitfunc(e:Event):void{
trace("EXIT_FRAME");
}

Answer 1

as Nagarajan sugges, you can dynamically add a script to a frame.
For example in your main class
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Test extends MovieClip
{
public function Test()
{
this.addFrameScript(4,frameFunction); // (add script to frame 5, zero based)
}
private function frameFunction():void {
trace ('Do something when play head enters frame 4')
}
}
}

because their names are misleading. Event.EXIT_FRAME doesn't execute once when the playhead exits a frame. it executes repeatedly.
likewise, Event.ENTER_FRAME doesn't execute once when the playhead enters a frame. it executes repeatedly.
you can execute a function when the playhead enters a a frame by adding a function call to the frame:
f(); // attached to a frame will call the function f when the playhead enters this frame. and there are other ways to do this.
you can execute a function when a playhead exists a frame by invalidating the stage and using a render event when a goto is executed:
stage.invaidate();
this.addEventListener(Event.RENDER,ExitingF);
this.gotoAndPlay('whatever');
function exitingF(e:Event):void{
// this code executes when this frame is exited and 'whatever' is rendered
(=displayed);
}

There's only one good way but that might be beyond your skill level. Create a class that extends MovieClip and override the gotoAndStop and gotoAndPlay methods then simply make them dispatch a custom event (don't forget the call to super). That custom event can carry the frame label, index, etc ... You'll have to make sure your MovieClips/Document class implement that class and everything will be done automatically.
This will allow you to keep track of when you leave a frame and move to another with a call to gotoAndStop or gotoAndPlay. If you only want to keep track of normal playhead move then the ENTER_FRAME event is enough.
