Would this work?

[Colin Campbell]

I was thinking of a code for a slider that on mouse would come to the button from which ever postition it was in before. Would this code work? Is there an easier way to do this? (I thought of this code by myself too )

on (mouseOver) {
// lets suppose the mc is at 300 on the x axis
if (_root.myMovieClip._x => 300) {
_root.mySlider._x++
}
if (_root.myMovieClip._x <=300) {
_root.mySlider._x--
} 
}

with this code your slider could move only once when mouse over event is occured, if you need continuous action try enterFrame event.

on (mouseOver) {
        // lets suppose the mc is at 300 on the x axis
        if (_root.myMovieClip._x >= 300) {
                _root.mySlider._x++;
        }else{
                _root.mySlider._x--;
        }
}

I fixed some of your syntax for you

will that work continuously?? I need it to work continuously to work.

it will continiously work as long as your mouse is over that object

No it won't.

This will however.

on (mouseOver) {
       _root.myMovieClip.onEnterFrame=function(){
        if (_root.myMovieClip._x >= 300) {
                _root.mySlider._x++;
        }else{
                _root.mySlider._x--;
        }
}
}

But with that code, it's going to keep moving back and forth, if you want it to move, then stop the following will work:

on (mouseOver) {
       _root.myMovieClip.onEnterFrame=function(){
        if (_root.myMovieClip._x >= 300) {
                _root.mySlider._x++;
        }else{
                delete this.onEnterFrame;
        }
}
}

Something like that, I'm lazy so it's not perfect. But, that should give you some direction.

Good luck.

o fudge me........!!! i suck

How about an 'if, else if' statement? Like this:

on (mouseOver) {
_root.myMovieClip.onEnterFrame=Function () {
        // lets suppose the mc is at 300 on the x axis
        if (_root.mySlider._x => 300) {
                _root.mySlider._x++
      } else if (_root.mySlider._x <=300) {
                _root.mySlider._x--
        }
}
}

I think I'm getting alot better at actionscript after getting that book. I'm only on page 500 because I've been really busy, but I've already learned so much!

lol, I haven't been on much. I've been really busy figuring stuff out. Golf, job, and this other forum I SMOD at just went through some tough times. Oh well, I'll be on more once this passes.
