check back to see if statement is true

[tiger]

I have the statement:

if (car._x>=294.0){
man._y=_y=30;
}

The problem is that if the statement is not true right away I wont get a result. The user is moving an object with the use of the keyboard. I want it so that if the statement becomes true then it occurs. So how do I make it keep checking back until it becomes true?

Put the if statement in an onEnterFrame. That way it will check it with every frame iteration.

_root.onEnterFrame=function(){
//actions
}


You could put the above code in your main timeline...

Good luck.

great works great thanks, one question though, does this mean every time the frame refreshes?

[annexion]

Yep. The thing to realize is that on enterFrame works even if there is only one frame in the movie. So, it refreshes at the frame rate your specify.

Good luck.
