combine on- and onClipEvent-Handler

[Hartwig]

Hi!

Is there any possibility to combine those two handlers.
I want a movieclip changing its scale when a button is pressed.
The change I would write as this:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if (_scale<200) {
_scale+=10;
}
}
But I can't write
on (release) {
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
...

Do U understand what I want.
Is there a way to realize it?

Many THX

the on() handler is for buttons, you can't put them on movieclips. you could put a button in the movieclip like this

on(press){
nChange = true
}

and then the code on the MC would be like this :

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if(nChange){
if (_scale<200) {
_scale+=10;
}
}
}

you can assign an onEnterFrame event within an on(press) like this:


on(press){

this.onEnterFrame = function(){

if(this._scale<200) this._scale += 10;

}

}

on(release){

this.onEnterFrame = null;

}
incidentally, _scale isn't a built in property.

Wow. so simple. I must have been blind!
The only thing I had to change was

on(press){
_root.nChange = true
}

and the code on the MC:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if(_root.nChange){
if (_scale<200) {
_scale+=10;
}
}
}

Thanks a lot!

Hi Supra!

I haven't seen your reply before posting mine. What are the consequences that _scale is not a built in property?
