I've created a MovieClip object with the instance name MC1. In the frame I place it in, I've also got two buttons, one pointing up and one pointing down.
What ActionScript do I need to make MC1 move up and down?
You can imagine this to be just like the scrolling textareas you may have seen in several flash applications.
Changing the value of MC1._y will do the trick!
Hmm... I will try this tomorrow, first thing.
Their documentation isn't very intuitive, btw. Am I missing some sort of a reference or resource? Any websites you flashers (ha!) use?
Oh, what about setting limits? I wouldn't want _y to increase or decrease beyond a certain value. I don't suppose there are If statements in ActionScript.
:sick:
There are :)
if{
etc.
}
Also, in Flash MX (2004) the actionscripting is much more powerfull (autocomplete etc).
ActionScript 2.0 has many features that Java has. You have if statements, objects, functions, ect.. All sorts of good stuff.
If you don't want it to increase beyond a certain amount, just use an if statement to check the current y and see if that is your limit. It might move quite fast, though; if you just have it go up through scripting alone and not frame by frame unless you add in a delay but I'm not sure of your exact situation.
Jop, kas, thanks. :)
