FLASH: Variables Comparison, Coding and Method shite

[Steve Mendizabal]

check it peeps


I'm doing this.


I have a mc on the mainTimeline that checks to see what button the 

mouse rollsover

now the movies go up or down according to the name of the button. 

LIke aboutUs. Rollover the aboutUs button and this happens:


On (Roll Over)

       Set Variable: "who" = "about"

       Set Variable: "move" = "go"

End On

On (Roll Out)

       Set Variable: "who" = "nothing"

       Set Variable: "move" = "stop"

End On


now all the button pick up the go variable:


If (/:move eq "go")

       Go to and Play ("who")

Else

       Go to and Play (_currentframe -1)

End If


  and then according to what variable was passed proceed:


If (/:who eq "about")

       Go to and Play ("maxUp")

       Set Variable: "maxUp" = "295"

Else

       Go to and Play ("maxDown")

       Set Variable: "maxDown" = "320"

End If


so that if it aint you move down. Now since this is aboutUs it goes on:


Set Variable: "aboutOrigY" = GetProperty ( "../about", _y)

Set Variable: "aboutyPos" = GetProperty ("../about", _y)


and then on to do it's business. Now the question I have is can I 

send the MC path as a variable and have all the  GetPropertys and set 

Propertys respond to the variable just as if I had manually placed 

them there?


And someone please let me knoe if I'm going about this the right way. 

I know what i'm doing, I just don't know if I'm "coding" in the right 

manner or approaching the way I think about coding is the most 

effecient.


Whew. Thanks a bunch flashHeadListFlasherBuddies
