WHY AM I NOT OUT SNOWBOARDING?! THERE ARE 20 NEW INCHES OF POWDER ON THE MOUNTAIN! ARGH! WORK SUCKS! But to a more forum-appropriate question: I have this prototype function:

which works great except that it scrolls the whole thing all at once. Is it possible to put some kind of increment in there so that on a key press it only moves a certain amout of pixels?
I have this prototype function:
[AS]
MovieClip.prototype.moveRight = function() {
// when it enters the frame
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
oldx = newx;
// if timelineMC._x less than or equal to howFarRight
if (timeline._x<=howFarRight) {

Not sure what to call this. I want a function to fire at a certain increment of a given var number, without having to say if (var >= 1000 && <= 2000 || var > = 2000 && <=5500){ etc etc etc. for example I want it to fire when it gets past 1000, then fire again when it gets past 2400 so on, and so fourth. To make matters more clear, im trying to make player experience that launches the level up screen at the given numbers ^^ I dont even know where to begin with how to do this, is it an array function?

I have recently started a new project, again and hit a stump. Im trying to make a mini game where you have to press two alternating buttons (x and z) to increment the bar. Now i started it, but it failed as pressing any button really fast incremented the bar. i used a _root.onEnterFrame = function() { code, but im having troubles. So what i want to do is have the user press the x button, and then have to press the y button and the bar increases and they have to do this rapidly.
View 4 RepliesI was wondering if there is a way to adapt this code I am using on a button.[code]This code works fine on the button and moves the movieclip each time the button is pressed by the viewer. My problem is, I would like the viewer to be able to just hold the button down and the movieclip would constantly apply the _y -=4.Is it possible to adapt this script to make it constantly move while the viewer holds down the button? As it stands now, it only moves once when the viewer clicks the button. So in order to move the movieclip 8 pixels, the viewer would have to click the button twice.
View 9 RepliesI'm using Adobe Flash CS3 / ActionScript 2 to develop a site, the relevant part of which can be seen at [URL] The black boxes underneath the 2x4 grid of icons are placeholder graphics for left and right arrows which move the icons above to the left and right. The left and right buttons work, after a fashion, but I'm having difficulty controlling the motion. As each button is pressed, I want to reveal one more layer of icons, and have the scrolling stop when the end of the list is reached. At the moment, one can use the buttons to scroll the icons off the screen.
Secondly, if the left / right buttons are clicked in very quick succession, the icons above do not display correctly - they're no longer centred in the mask above. Is it possible to have the buttons 'ignore' any clicks whilst the icons above are moving, thus ensuring that the icons always display correctly? Finally, is it possible to have the left/right button disappear as appropriate when the left/right hand end of the menu is reached? Here's the code I've been using to control the motion:

I am currently working on a picture slide show tutorial and i fully understand whats going on, except when a variable that gets placed outside a "for" loop that gets used within the "for" loop to create multiple loaders. Secondly, i would of though the newLoader function would of needed a different variable everytime the loop increments? I know i'm so incorrect but I was hoping someone would straighten me out on it here is the code too

EDIT: What do I need to write in AS3 to make a dynamic text field increase in increments of 1 if the user hovers at the upper half of the screen, and decrease in increments of 1 if the user hovers at the lower half of the screen?Purpose, it isn't a game.
What I have right now isn't actually doing any of those things, I've just been mucking about trying to get all the masks working and they finally are.
I've included the code to offer as much information as possible about my specific project. There is also a few more lines that changes the colour of the dial when the user rolls over the specific coloured bars. I can post that as well if it helps.
To clarify the scene, the arrow part of the dial tracks the user's mouse. Always pointing towards it. The bars, when rolled over changes the colour of said dial. The "73M" is static, as well is "POINTS" but the 380 value is dynamic. It is that string I need to affect.
If anything is unclear please feel free to ask, I've been at this all night so there is a chance I'm so into it that I can't see straight.

scene 1: Startsidan
scene 2: Sidan
I made a frontpage and when I click on the picture I want it to go to scene 2, where it enters the inside.
the button is called PortalenKnappen, I want to be able to just press on it and it will go to the "sidan(scene 2)" that's empty at the moment.
what would I have to write? I've tried "portalenKnappen.onPress nextScene("sidan", 1"); but it doesn't work.
I'm wondering if there's a way to temporarily disable keyboard shortcuts in Flash? The problem is that some key presses don't register when I'm testing a movie in flash because flash itself registers the key. For example pressing "B" while I'm testing a movie activates the Brush tool but doesn't trigger an event in the actual movie. When I publish the movie and try it in a browser it works fine.

Code:

I have 3 movie clips lined up as buttons. When you rollover one, the others fade out to an alpha of 20.
