smooth motions

[catreya]

hello,

i am working on moving an object smoothly from point A to point B. I am attaching the fla file. While the object moves on a button click, its not smooth but just jumps from A to B.

i have been at it for days and cant figure out how. I want to use the for loop and not the clipEvent (enterframe) way.

thanx

for loops are executed within the SAME FRAME! That's why you don't see anything (Flash refreshed when all the code has been executed).

I haven't checked the fla, but that's probably the problem.

Thanks for the reply.

You may understand what i want to achieve by looking at the fla. When you click on the blue button, i want the pink box to move. Right now it does move, but very quickly and not as one when we use a tween.

I could use the onclipevent and write two lines to increment the "x" value for the horizontal motion. or i could create a specific layer to tween the box.

But I was wondering if one could achieve the same effect using a for loop.

i got the effect i needed. (phew!) am attaching the fla again. it was so simple, i cant believe it. took me just 3 mins to get it - that is once i got the hang of event handler stuff.

long way to go but i'll get there eventually.
