conditional statement

[drakkonblade]

i setup this conditional statement.
my intention was that if the object
foot_mc was on point0_mc then it will go to frame 5

OR

if foot_mc was on point1_mc it will go to frame 10....


function Oncheck(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
if(foot_mc == point0_mc) return;
{
gotoAndStop(5);
}
if(foot_mc == point1_mc) return;
{
gotoAndStop(10);
}
if(foot_mc == point2_mc) return;
{
gotoAndStop(15);
}
}



i get NO errors but it will always go to frame 15.... instead i want it to go to the selective frames depending on where foot_mc is...

Thank you

Coding practices aside, you are just comparing sprites, not positions. Instead of "foot_mc == point0_mc", it should be something along this lines:

foot_mc.x == point0_mc.x && foot_mc.y == point0_mc.y

But it'll only work for pixel perfect alignment, which I think is not your case. More information would be needed to correct it further.

thank you for responding boppreh


my intention is to have the object(sprite) foot_mc to a one of the 3 coordinates which is difined already by point0..point 1....


i did successfully do the parenting... at least i hope...

but the part i am messing up on the verification of where the foot_mc is before i press the button_mc button


stop();
import flash.display.SimpleButton

var checking:Boolean = false;
point0_mc.addChild(foot_mc);
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, Onpress );
button_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Oncheck );
function Onpress(evt:MouseEvent):void {
if (evt.target == foot_mc) return;
evt.target.addChild(foot_mc);
}
function Oncheck(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
if(foot_mc == point0_mc) return;
{
gotoAndStop(5);
}
if(foot_mc == point1_mc) return;
{
gotoAndStop(10);
}
if(foot_mc == point2_mc) return;
{
gotoAndStop(15);
}
if(!checking) return;
{
gotoAndStop(5);
}
}
button_mc.buttonMode = true;


thank you

do you have any ideea what is return doing?
it's interrupting your code to execute, but obviously is not doing that because none of the condition is true.

the code:

if(foot_mc == point2_mc) return;
{
gotoAndStop(15);
}

is equivalent with:


if(foot_mc == point2_mc) {
return;
}
gotoAndStop(15);

gotoAndStop is outside the if condition.

i did do that and even rewrote it as that..

running into the same issue of when i press the button it always goes still to frame 15...

also oddle enough now suddenly foot_mc ... when i press the button the foot_mc graphic adds to it...
