Flash: Need Help Writing An 'If' Statment

[Antwan]

Hi guys,

I'm making a little flash movie for a website of mine, The box is going to be a sort of 'What i'm listening to lately' box with album covers in it, and as you scroll closer to an album cover, it will enlarge slightly and play a sample piece of audio.

I've uploaded the .fla file i've made to test the theory out for you to look at. Everything works correctly but theres one thing i'd like to change. I'd want that box to stop enlarging at 120%, currently as you roll closer to the centre of the clips, it goes up to 200%. I'd rather it stopped when the proximity got below 20, at 120% if you know what I mean. I'm having a mental block as to how i'd rewrite the if statement on the actions layer.

If you need any of the code explained i'd be happy too. Thanks in advance for any and all help!

Anthony

how about,
onLoad, putting the size in a variable.
then finding 120% of it and putting that in a variable.
Then checking the size when the enlarging code happens.

Code: Select all

  if (prox > 20) clip._xscale = 120;
  if (prox > 20) clip._yscale = 120;

Put this within your proximity function and see if it works. It'll just set limited on your movement of the movieclips, you can change the values as needed to goof around with it.

Cheers,

That is sort of right, there are a few problems though, the clip has no enlarging action, it just immediately jumps to 120, where as the previous one enlarged as you got closer, also, if you jump BELOW 20, the size becomes huge again

Hmm ok, this will take some thinking - let me ask you this question, to maybe get your juices going.

Wth the if statements above, what could you replace the clip._xscale = 120; and clip._yscale = 120; with and instead make ot "ease" to that amount? maybe another math function?

I'll keep goofing around with it, always takes me a while to pick up someone else's code and get flying.

Cheers,
