Stop movieClip OnEnterFrame

[joaoVieira]

I'm trying to stop a movieClip, when the mouse roles over it but keep the others moving.

I've got 3 movieClip's with the following instance names:
animal1_mc
animal2_mc
animal3_mc

_root.vazio_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
for (i=1; i<4; i++){
_root["animal"+i+"_mc"].onRollOver = function (){
_root.instanceName = this._name;
_root.instanceNumber = _root.instanceName.substr (6,1);
_root.number = Number (_root.instanceNumber);
}
_root["animal"+i+"_mc"]._x = _root["animal"+i+"_mc"]._x + 1;
}
}

I can identifie wich one the mouse is over but i can´t stop it, without stoping all the others too.

Could someone give me an ideia of how to do this.

Thank's in advance

add the parts in Bold to the script in your frame:

_root.vazio_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
    for (i=1; i<4; i++){
        _root["animal"+i+"_mc"].onRollOver = function (){
            _root.instanceName = this._name;
            _root.instanceNumber = _root.instanceName.substr (6,1);
            _root.number = Number (_root.instanceNumber);
        }
        [B]if (i == number) {
        _root["animal"+i+"_mc"]._x = _root["animal"+i+"_mc"]._x;
        } else {[/B]
        _root["animal"+i+"_mc"]._x = _root["animal"+i+"_mc"]._x+1;      
        [B]}[/B]
    }
}

Hope it helps


P.S. Ah, use the [AS] [/ AS] tags for code

ah, if you need the movement to restart on rollOut you'll need to set a rollOut function!


Something like this:

_root.vazio_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
    for (i=1; i<4; i++){
        _root["animal"+i+"_mc"].onRollOver = function (){
            _root.instanceName = this._name;
            _root.instanceNumber = _root.instanceName.substr (6,1);
            _root.number = Number (_root.instanceNumber);
        }
        if (i == number) {
            _root["animal"+i+"_mc"]._x = _root["animal"+i+"_mc"]._x;
        } else {
            _root["animal"+i+"_mc"]._x = _root["animal"+i+"_mc"]._x+1;      
        }
    [B]_root["animal"+i+"_mc"].onRollOut = function (){
        _root.number = 0;
    }[/B]
    }
}

Thanks a lot Fugee!

That did the trick for this simplified version.

Wednesday I will try to apply it to the "real" thing, a major project that as a lot more variables in it

P.S: Sorry for not using actionscript formated text. I will try to remember that next time. It's in fact much easier to read the code that way.

I'll let you know how it worked on the "big one"

Once again, thanks Fugee!
