Re: FLASH: moving an mc gradually

[Robert Bleeker]

Olga,


set-up 3 frames within each MC (I'm not sure how complex your MC's are) with

a script on the first frame:


set variable: "startLocX"= get property("",_x)

set variable: "startLocY"= get property("",_y)

comment: "not sure where you want to take the MC"

set variable: "endLocX"= someX

set variable: "endLocY"= someY

comment: "how many steps in between start and end location"

set variable: "steps"=10

set variable: "stepX"=(startLocX-endLocX)/steps

set variable: "stepY"=(startLocY-endLocY)/steps

play



script in frame 3 (must be a keyFrame):


if (steps>0)

    set variable: "currentLocX"= get property("",_x)

    set variable: "currentLocY"= get property("",_y)

    set property("",_x)=currentLocX-stepX

    set property("",_y)=currentLocY-stepY

    set variable: "steps"=steps-1

end if

go to and play (2)

    


I am away from flash at the moment so hope it works.



Robert
