AttachMovie question

1

Hello,
first of all, I must thank Kirupa for the wonderful greeting:
I’ve never seen anything similar :slight_smile:

This is an AS2/Flash8-related question.

I use this code to attach some movieclips:

sPoint = 50;
//
for (i=0; i<10; i++) {
var num = i == 0 ? sPoint : sPoint+ithis[“s”+(i-1)]._width;
_root.attachMovie(“duplicand”, “s”+i, i, {initPos:num, dist:dists});
_root[“s”+i]._x = 50+i*this[“s”+i]._width;
_root[“s”+i]._y = 100;
}

In the initObject I put:
+initPos: it stores informations about the clip _x position;
+dist: follow this post and you will know :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m duplicating points: these points are subway stations.
In a real world scenario, distances between stations are every time different.

So, I built this array of distances values:
dists = [223,334,12,145,45,87,56,67,78,34];

dists[0] is the distance between the first and the second station and so on.

When I duplicate the clips, there’s no need to show this distance:
the stations must appear at the same distance.

BUT, I made an horizontal slider and what I want is the following:

when i drag the slider left-to-right all the movieclips must proportionally (remember “dist”?) change their positions, proportionally respecting their distances. When I drag the slider right-to-left they must approach, reaching their initial position in the end.

It is not important they scale onEnterFrame: it is right for me this onRelease:

slider.btn.onRelease = slider.btn.onReleaseOutside=function () {
stopDrag();
_global.val = Math.floor(this._x/2);
var cf = Math.floor(val/10);

// ALL MY PROBLEM IN THE END IS THIS LINE:

for (i=0; i&lt;11; i++) {
    _root["s"+i]._x = _root["s"+(i-1)].initPos+_root["s"+i].dist*i*cf;

}

};

How can I do what I’m trying to do?

Thanks!
