FLASH: Continuous on(press)

[Jason Bouwmeester]

I've posted this to another list but to no avail... perhaps someone on this

list might have further ideas? This is just wacked!


O.K. I've HAD IT!


onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

	if(_root.keepScrolling){

		_root.content.bioContent.scroll =

_root.content.bioContent.scroll-1;

	}

}


That is my code for decrementing (scrolling up) and


onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

	if(_root.keepScrolling){

		_root.content.bioContent.scroll =

_root.content.bioContent.scroll+1;

	}

}


is my code for incrementing (scrolling down).


Get this - if BOTH are set to +1 (increment), both buttons will cause it to

scroll down like it is supposed to. But as soon as I change one of them (it

doesn't matter which) to -1 NEITHER BUTTONS WORK!


I have 2 mc's: MC BTN Scroll Up and MC BTN Scroll Down - both these contain

a button called BTN: Arrow.


Any ideas? I'm at the end of my rope with this... I just don't understand

why it works if they are both set to +1 but won't work when I set one of

them to -1.


Go figure...


TIA,

jb

Helen,


Thanks for the help, arrgghhh... figured it out, for some reason

this.keepScrolling wasn't working so I did _root.keepScrolling and accessed

the variable through _root.content.bioContent.scroll and it seems to be

working now... seems I couldn't access bioContent without referencing the

whole thing...


Thanks again,

jb

In my Flash 5 journal, there's a kind of tutorial on doing this with

onClipEvent(enterFrame) -- it's the Sept 7 entry.  If it's not clear,

feel free to ask (of course).  It's much cleaner than the F4 way.
