Hello everyone,
I cannot wrap my brain around this anymore. It’s been sometime since I have done much actionscript but here it is:
Functionality:
I have the movie clip moving from left to right and once it reaches a certain point, it changes direction and goes back, infinitely.
I have a hitTest to check weather the mouse is over the target movie clip, if it is, the movement stops.
**
Problem1 - Movement:
**When I mouseover the target movie clip it stops (hitTest=true) but the movement does not resume when the hitTest is false.
**Here’s the code:
*var xchange=10;
holder_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
//trace("x_pos: "+this._x)
//trace("xchange: "+xchange)
this._x += xchange;
if (this.hitTest(_xmouse, _ymouse, true)) {
xchange=0;
this._x += xchange;
}
else{
if(this._x > 0){
xchange=10;
xchange= -1;
}
else if(this._x < -645){
xchange *= -1;
}
}
}//--------------------------------------
**Problem 2 - CPU Resources **
Also I have code on the individual movie clips within the target movie clip, they simply play frames forward and backward to enlarge a thumbnail. After a while the computer starts hating life and chugs. I know it is from the hitTest checking on each enterFrame and it eats up the resources. Is there a way to do this without the chug?
Here is the code that expands the thumbnails within the target movie clip:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (rewind == true) {
prevFrame();
}
};
this.onRollOver = function() {
this.swapDepths(this.getNextHighestDepth());
rewind = false;
play();
};
this.onRollOut = function() {
rewind = true;
};
//----------------------
If someone could give me any insight into this problem I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks guys,
I hope I’ve been clear.
