Quick penner question with as1

1

hey,

i have used and loved penner’s code for quite some time now. but i can’t do 1 thing.

i made a function like this:


function revealImg() {
	initR = buttRight._x;
	initL = buttLeft._x;
	t = 0;
	duration = 10;
	this.onEnterFrame = function() {
		if (t<duration) {
			buttRight._x = Math.EaseInOutExpo(t, initR, 20, duration);
		}
		buttLeft._x = Math.EaseInOutExpo(t, initL, -20, duration);
		t++;
	};
}

i have a movieclip with 10-20 frames in a row (don’t ask why - it’s what me boss wanted).

i want to put this code in every frame so when the playhead hits the frame, it will move buttRight and buttLeft by a certain amount (20) in this case.

now for the problem:

on each frame, buttRight and buttLeft are in different positions on the stage (like x = 50 on 1, x = 500 on 2).

how could i adapt my code so that it takes note of the new position of the butts on every frame, and then passes that to the function (that sits in frame 1).

do i need a listener of some sort? or am i complicating?

thanks
