hello helpful people.
i have a scripting problem on my hands that i have not been able to figure out for the past 4 hours. it is driving me nuts. basically i have these boxes that grow and change dimensions on the click of buttons. i am trying to add the function of movement to go along with the changing dimensions. while it seems easy, it just does not work. if someone could offer guidence, i’d be so appreciative. thanks a ton in advance. here is the script as found on the root :
stop();
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“box1”, 3);
with (_root.box1){
beginFill(0x111111, 0);
lineTo(0, 20);
lineTo(20, 20);
lineTo(20, 20);
lineTo(20, 0);
endFill();
}
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“box2”, 2);
with (_root.box2){
beginFill(0x111111, 0);
lineTo(0, 20);
lineTo(20, 20);
lineTo(20, 20);
lineTo(20, 0);
endFill();
}
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“box3”, 1);
with (_root.box3){
beginFill(0x111111, 0);
lineTo(0, 20);
lineTo(20, 20);
lineTo(20, 20);
lineTo(20, 0);
endFill();
}
item1.onEnterFrame = function() {
speed = 5;
box = _root.box1;
finalWidth = box._width+0;
finalHeight = box._height+0;
this._width += (finalWidth-this._width)/speed;
this._height += (finalHeight-this._height)/speed;
};
item2.onEnterFrame = function() {
speed = 5;
box = _root.box2;
finalWidth = box._width+0;
finalHeight = box._height+0;
this._width += (finalWidth-this._width)/speed;
this._height += (finalHeight-this._height)/speed;
};
item3.onEnterFrame = function() {
speed = 5;
box = _root.box3;
finalWidth = box._width+0;
finalHeight = box._height+0;
this._width += (finalWidth-this._width)/speed;
this._height += (finalHeight-this._height)/speed;
};

_root.box1._yscale=500;
_root.box1._x=500; //this is where it is not working!
