Hi,
I am a newbie working with flash. Wanted to know a good way of introducing
delays in an animation.
My program consists of a tight loop which needs to run continuously to update
the position of certain objects on
the screen. In order to make the animation slower, I have made 7 frames and
copied the code to each frame.
The problem here is that if I need to make a change to the logic, I need to
copy it to each frame.
any suggestions?

You should research how to Ease your Animation with a tween if your animation
is merely reducing its speed and not stopping.
The AS2.0 Language Reference provides some useful examples, search for this
sentence 'Using the Tween class'. |

Hey,
One way of being able to reuse code over and over again without having to type
it out would be to stick all the code in a function and call the function
several times. For example, if you had:
bowl._x += 10;
bowl._y -= 20;
You could modify that to:
function moveBowl(){
bowl._x += 10;
bowl._y -= 20;
}
And then on each frame you could have:
moveBowl();
In your case though, if you wanted to run a particular segment of code
repeatedly at frame rate, you could use the built-in event handler for the
enterFrame event. Basically, every movieclip has this event, which is evoked at
a rate equal to the frame rate (fps). And so, you would use:
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
bowl._x += 10;
bowl._y -= 20;
}
But then again, I might have missed the point you were trying to make
entirely. Could you explain the set-up in more detail? |
