Hi guys,
I was wondering if the killer action scripters out there could help me with something I’ve been stumped on all day. I’m building a navigation that uses the tween class to move all the clips on the stage over by 80 pixels whenever one of the menu items is clicked, in order to make room for another clip that slides in stage left. Here’s the code:
[COLOR=blue]import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;[/COLOR]
[COLOR=blue]function makeRoom() {
new Tween(header, “_x”, Elastic.easeOut, 125, 205, 1.5, true);
new Tween(menu1, “_x”, Elastic.easeOut, 150, 230, 1.5, true);
new Tween(menu2, “_x”, Elastic.easeOut, 330, 410, 1.5, true);
new Tween(menu3, “_x”, Elastic.easeOut, 525, 605, 1.5, true);
new Tween(menu, “_x”, Elastic.easeOut, -55, 25, 1.5, true);
new Tween(paper, “_x”, Elastic.easeOut, 125, 205, 1.5, true);
new Tween(subcontent, “_x”, Elastic.easeOut, -90, -8, 1.5, true);
}[/COLOR]

[COLOR=blue]
menu1.onRelease =makeRoom;
menu2.onRelease =makeRoom;
menu3.onRelease =makeRoom;[/COLOR]
[COLOR=blue][/COLOR]
[COLOR=black]Great. Now, as soon as any of the 3 menu items is clicked, the movie clips specified in the function move elastically to the right by 80 pixels. But, here’s my problem. Now that they have moved 80 pixels from their original spot. I don’t want the function to execute next time either of the menu items are clicked. I only want them to move if they are currently in their original spot on the stage. So I made this “if” statement that should tell the function to occurr only if one of my clips is in its original spot (it could be any of the clips, but I used “menu1”)[/COLOR]
[COLOR=blue]if (menu1._x =150){
menu1.onRelease =makeRoom;
menu2.onRelease =makeRoom;
menu3.onRelease =makeRoom;[/COLOR]
[COLOR=blue]}[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff][/COLOR]
[COLOR=black]Anyway, this doesn’t work. The tween function still executes no matter where “menu1” is situated- even after it slides over into its new _x position of 230. Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong? I also tried putting the “if” statement right in the function, but no dice there either.[/COLOR]
Any assistance would be super-appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt.
