In between?

1

im drawing a total blank here, and i can’t think straight. what i have on my movie is a little hand, and when the user drags the hand up and down, a corresponding movie clip goes to frame 2 in response to the _y position of the hand movie clip.

what i can’t figure out is how to tell flash in my if condition that i want this to occur when the _y position is between two values. how can i do this without writing a whole bunch of if/else/else if statements? what is the operator?

thanks in advance for any help!

if(mc._y> 15 && mc._Y <17){
trace(“it works”);
}

haha k, i got it to work when you drag the hand past one clip, but when i try to make it work when dragging it up and down past multiple things, it wont work, only one mc will go to the frame desired… i tried using variables to solve this, but it won’t help.

here is the code i tried:

[AS]/////////////////////////////
// begin reveal properties//
///////////////////////////
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
about = this._y>294 && this._y<314;
portfolio = this._y>255 && this._y<275;
downloads = this._y>217 && this._y<237;
contact = this._y>179 && this._y<199;

// for about
if(about){
	_root.navButtons_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}else{
	about = undefined;
	_root.navButtons_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);		
}

// for portfolio
if(portfolio){
	_root.navButtons_mc.gotoAndPlay(3);
}else{
	portfolio = undefined;
	_root.navButtons_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);		
}

// for downloads
if(downloads){
	_root.navButtons_mc.gotoAndPlay(4);
}else{
	downloads = undefined;
	_root.navButtons_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);		
}

// for contact
if(contact){
	_root.navButtons_mc.gotoAndPlay(5);
}else{
	contact = undefined;
	_root.navButtons_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);		
}

}[/AS]

This might be way out of line, but i thought it MIGHT work… lol… thanks for any help!

that wont work. The if statement can use the && , but you cant assign it the way you tried to assign in enterframe.

Im seeing triple right now. If no one has helped you by morning, I’ll give it a go…

liam… I looked at your code and Im having some trouble understanding it.

so, I changed the name of the hand movie clip to “hand” and of the navigation buttons to “nav”.

I deleted your code and I put the following on the main timeline.


alwaysx=hand._x;

hand.onPress=function(){
	this.startdrag();
	this.onenterframe=function(){
	mybox.text=this._x;
	if(this._x>_root.alwaysx || this._x<_root.alwaysx){
		this._x=_root.alwaysx;
	}
	if(this._y>292 && this._y <316){
		nav.gotoandstop(2);
	}else if(this._y>257 && this._y <276){
		nav.gotoandstop(3);
	}else if(this._y>217 && this._y <238){
		nav.gotoandstop(4);
	}
		}
	
}
hand.onRelease=function(){
	this.stopdrag();
}

Now, this may not be the cleanest and hasnt gone through extensive testing… but I think it reflects what you’re trying to do.

Have a great day.
