Re: FLASH: move depending on position

[Randy Kato]

Julie,


You need to swap the two values in your second Set Variable statement. Right now

you're getting the y position into 'threey', but then you're resetting 'threey'

to 'n', rather than setting 'n' to 'threey'. But this step is actually

unnecessary (all it's doing is essentially renaming the variable). You could

boil down the script to:


On (Release)

   Set Variable: "threey" = GetProperty ("/3", _y)

   Set Property ("/3", Y Position) = threey + 60

End On


HTH,

Randy
