ok, I will try and be as descriptive as possible.
I have a button that tells a movie clip (“holder”) to gotoAndStop(2);
on frame 2. I have a box, if the mouse is off the box, I want the MC to go to play() after 5 seconds.
But since the button and box are on other sides of the screen, the play() after 5 seconds part has to wait, until the user, touches the box, and then mouses off the box for 5 seconds.
this is the code on the holder mc:
[AS]onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (bound.mcOpen) {
if (!this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
setInterval(function(){ play(); }, 1000);
}
}
}
[/AS]
right now, that is causing the movieclip to play/loop. I either need a way to break the function or the setInterval, to make sure it only plays once.
or if there is a better way to accomplish this, that would be cool.
