Okay, go easy on me here I’ll try to keep the question simple.
If, in object-attached ActionScripting I’m writing the same if statements over and over (and over) for each subsequent clickable item can I just package those if statements into a function and then just call the function on each object I attach it to?
For example - this appears on each of my draggable elements (game pieces). It’s a secondary variable watcher but applies to each game piece:
if (_root._level99.helpNeeded==3){ helpSnd = new Sound(this);
helpSnd.attachSound("helpSound");
helpSnd.start();
_root._level99.numRetries = _root._level99.numRetries + 1;
}
It’d be much easier to just type the function into the object-attached ActionScript and tweak the if statement in one place.
Am I understanding one of the basic principles of working with functions?
