[flashpro] flying!

Thu May 19 05:04:16 EDT 2005

With the examples i send, it worked...
I don't place the action into the movieclip, but on the stage. (and yes your
right, i didn't finished reading the email :) )

Hiya,

	It does get to zero.  Otherwise, the trace()s wouldn't have
executed. - The
key is that the movie clip's _x is a value less than zero.  Otherwise,
you're right, it would keep getting bigger.

You_MC.onenterframe=function() {

Okaaaaaay then.

	Thanks everybody, I tried a couple of the examples and they seemed
to work.
However, my script still doesn't.  The thing at issue is the delete
this.onenterframe; line - Which works in the example kindly provided by
denis, but not here.

My script in full - you lucky, lucky people:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
	stopPosition = 0;
	currentXPosition = getProperty(this,_x);
	increment = Math.abs(currentXPosition * 0.2);
	currentXPosition += increment;
	trace(currentXPosition);
	if(currentXPosition==stopPosition){
		trace("I SHOULD HAVE STOPPED, but I've blinking not");
		trace("I definitely get to here, so where is the problem?");
		trace("Even the following line of code works in a different
example");
		delete this.onenterframe;
	}else{
		setProperty(this,_x,currentXPosition);
	}
}

	If anyone wishes to try this code, it's placed on a movieclip with a
negative _x  (actually it's -238)  so, the idea being that it decelerates
towards 0 from the left.

	Your further assistance will be greeted with a certain amount of
cheer.

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
	//Do stuff
	if(myCondition==100){
		delete this.onenterframe;
	}else{
		myCondition = myCondition +1;
	}

speaking of which...

	Here's something...

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
	//Do stuff
	if(myCondition==100){
		stop();
	}else{
		myCondition = myCondition +1;
	}

or something like that - Problem is, the stop(); command doesn't work,
the
line is reached, but for some reason it doesn't stop the continual
iteration
of the enterFrame.  Is there a way to force the enterFrame thing to stop
iterating?  Please let me know (P.S.  I know the above code doesn't work
as
is, but the example I'm paraphrasing does, and 100 is indeed reached,
but it
darned well don't stop.)

Hints anybody?

Usually I'd do this type of loop on a 2 frame movie clip, but found
enterFrame more elegant, if I can get it to work...
