Someone posted this on another forum:

[http://reticul.free.fr/flash/](http://reticul.free.fr/flash/) – some bare breasts here but it’s not the point (really…)

And the code:

```auto
//
makeCadre("http://www.flashxpress.net/images/vache.jpg", 1);
makeCadre("http://www.flashxpress.net/images/vache.jpg", 2);
checkLoad();
//
function makeCadre(fichier, indice) {
    newMC = "img"+indice;
    this.createEmptyMovieClip(newMC, indice);
    this[newMC].createEmptyMovieClip('image', 1);
    this[newMC].image.loadMovie(fichier);
    this[newMC].createEmptyMovieClip('cache', 2);
    with (this[newMC].cache) {
        beginFill(0xFF0000, 0);
        lineTo(1, 0);
        lineTo(1, 400);
        lineTo(0, 400);
        endFill();
    }
}
function checkLoad() {
    this.onEnterFrame = function() {
        if ((this.img1.image.getBytesLoaded() == this.img1.image.getBytesTotal() && this.img1.image.getBytesLoaded()>0) && (this.img2.image.getBytesLoaded() == this.img2.image.getBytesTotal() && this.img2.image.getBytesLoaded()>0)) {
            img1.image.setMask(img1.cache);
            img2.image.setMask(img2.cache);
            largeur1 = 0;
            largeur2 = img1.image._width;
            monIt = setInterval(flowEffect, 50);
            this.onEnterFrame = null;
        }
    };
}
function flowEffect() {
    img2._x = largeur1-0.5;
    img1.cache._width = largeur1;
    img2.image._x = -largeur1;
    img2._xscale = largeur2*100;
    largeur2--;
    largeur1++;
    if (largeur2<0) {
        clearInterval(monIt);
    }
}

```

I love that kind of things, just thought I’d share… =)

:sure:

ahmed, hasn’t anyone taught you about stacks? 😛

When Flash compiles the code, it pushes everything onto a stack according to importance. Functions are up there. You can bury prototypes deep within the deepest depths of movieclips within movieclips and you would still be able to call the prototype from the first frame of the main stage.

Once the prototypes and functions are defined, Flash moves down the stack (functions, events, loops, etc).

I know sen (:love:\*\*) is gonna correct me in some sense or another…:sigh:

… as for the functions thing 😉 :love:

its just a matter of syntax where Flash will defined

function functionName(){

before

functionName = function(){

the second version following order of operations in definition  
So if you’re used to using functionName = function, your functions can’t be used before their definition. However, at the same time, function functionName(){ function declarations can’t be defined within other operations. i.e.

```auto
go()

function go(){
	trace("GO!")
	if (true){
		function newFunc(){
			trace("YES!")
		}
	}else{
		function newFunc(){
			trace("NO!")
		}
	}
	
	newFunc()
}

/* output:
GO!
*/

```
