[FMX] Problem getting for loop to stop

1

Hello all,

I am having a bit of trouble getting my for loop to stop, and am hoping that y’all might be able to help me out. Please bear with me as I am pretty new to the whole actionscript thing, I have only done minor things with it in the past. Also if anyone has a more efficient way of writing this code please let me know as I am trying to get better all the time!

What I want to happen is when a button is rolled over it gets a movieclip from the library (not on the stage previous to rollover) move it the height of the movieclip up on the y axis as well as fade in and stop on roll out do the opposite, except if you rollover and rollout to quickly I don’t want to mc to show at all. I haven’t got to the rollout part yet but if you have any direction I should go that would be much appreceated. Maybe a time thing if the mouse isn’t over the button for x length of time then the mc won’t display. Am I on the right track or is there an easier way?

Anyway here is my script:

// This is so when the button is rolled over it calls this function
function butXpos() {
	butX = getProperty(_root.button1, _x);
	butY = getProperty(_root.button1, _y);
}
function mcHeight() {
	_root.attachMovie("mc1", "mc1", 1);
	mc1._x = butX;
	mc1._y = butY;
	mc1._alpha = 0;
}
function mcAnimate() {
	mc1.onEnterFrame = function() {
		mcH = getProperty(_root.mc1, _height);
		mcY = getProperty(_root.mc1, _y);
		mcRise = (mcY+mcH);
		mcA = mc1._alpha;
		if (mcY != mcRise) {
			mc1._y-=5;
			trace("Not equal");
		} else {
			trace("Equal");
		}
		if (mcA<=100) {
			mc1._alpha += 10;
		}
	};
}

The alpha fade works great :thumb: then again everything works except the stopping of the loop:h:
BTW I cannot get the y coordinate to equal the y coord + height in the trace action

Thank you in advance for your help!
