flash actionscript: I'm trying to get a couple of boxes to Move and Scale I got the moving part
down using Arrays but I can't get the scale part can someone help me..
Here is the code

//----------------------
Movieclip.prototype.scrollme = function(xPos, yPos) {
cX = this._x;
difX = cX-xPos;
this._x = cX-(difX/5);

cY = this._y;
difY = cY-yPos;
this._y = cY-(difY/5);
};

stop();

arrayIndex = 0;

caja1Xpositions = new Array(125,125,20);
caja1Ypositions = new Array(280,280,280);
caja2Xpositions = new Array(515,515,410);
caja2Ypositions = new Array(280,280,280);
//set the scrolling animation for the mcs
caja1.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.scrollme(caja1Xpositions[arrayIndex], caja1Ypositions[arrayIndex]);

};
caja2.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.scrollme(caja2Xpositions[arrayIndex], caja2Ypositions[arrayIndex]);
};

//----------------------------

Thanks for your help..

Guss.:confused;

It's not hard to get the clips to scale too:

//----------------------
MovieClip.prototype.scrollme = function(xPos, yPos, nScale) {
var cX = this._x;
var difX = cX-xPos;
this._x = cX-(difX/5);

var cY = this._y;
var difY = cY-yPos;
this._y = cY-(difY/5);

// this assumes identical x and y scales
var cS = this._xscale;
var difS = cS-nScale;
this._xscale = this._yscale = cS-(difS/5);
};
stop();
arrayIndex = 0;
caja1Xpositions = new Array(125, 125, 20);
caja1Ypositions = new Array(280, 280, 280);
caja1Scale = new Array(200, 100, 150);
caja2Xpositions = new Array(515, 515, 410);
caja2Ypositions = new Array(280, 280, 280);
caja2Scale = new Array(50, 200, 100);
//set the scrolling animation for the mcs
caja1.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.scrollme(caja1Xpositions[arrayIndex], caja1Ypositions[arrayIndex],
caja1Scale[arrayIndex]);
};
caja2.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.scrollme(caja2Xpositions[arrayIndex], caja2Ypositions[arrayIndex],
caja2Scale[arrayIndex]);
};
//----------------------------


This assumes the x and y scales start identical and remain that way. If not,
add another set of arrays for the different scales, and pass another
parameter into your prototype. I assume also that arrayIndex is being
incremented alsewhere in your code? Otherwise your clips will never get past
the fisrt array entry...

Your arrayIndex is permanently stuck at 0.

You probably need something like this

caja1.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (arrayIndex == 2) {
caja1.onEnterFrame = undefined;
} else {
this.scrollme(caja1Xpositions[arrayIndex], caja1Ypositions[arrayIndex]);
arrayIndex++'
}
};

Sorry David, that won;t work - the array index shouldn;t be incremented
until after the clip has reached a set distance from it's destination (it
will never actually *reach* it of course, so a 'cutoff' distance must be
set). I assumed the OP had handled this elsewhere in their code, as they
said they had the movement part working ok...

That's the problem with posting incomplete code.

Mr. Peter Blumenthal
Thanks for your responce..
I try the code you posted but My bad.. because you assume that the x ,y are
identical but they are not.. I need to be able to control x , y , h, w, at
all times and that is why I'm using the array ..

Mr. David Powers
I don't know why you say incomplete code.. :{ I'll put the code here again

//---------------------------START CODE--------

Movieclip.prototype.scrollme = function(xPos, yPos) {
cX = this._x;
difX = cX-xPos;
this._x = cX-(difX/5);

cY = this._y;
difY = cY-yPos;
this._y = cY-(difY/5);
};

stop();

arrayIndex = 0;

caja1Xpositions = new Array(125,125,20);
caja1Ypositions = new Array(280,280,280);
caja2Xpositions = new Array(515,515,410);
caja2Ypositions = new Array(280,280,280);

caja1.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.scrollme(caja1Xpositions[arrayIndex], caja1Ypositions[arrayIndex]);

};
caja2.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.scrollme(caja2Xpositions[arrayIndex], caja2Ypositions[arrayIndex]);
};
butMC.but1.onRelease=function(){
arrayIndex=1;
}
butMC.but2.onRelease=function(){
arrayIndex=2;
}

//--------------- END OF CODE----------

And thank you for responding..

Several lines were missing from the end of the original code (at least
as seen in the NNTP forum), which is why I suggested my inappropriate
solution. My main expertise is in getting Flash to communicate with PHP
and MySQL, so I'll leave you in the hands of those more experienced in
the animation side of Flash.

Well :(
Thanks anyways Mr. Powers.

Ok, so just add another array for yscale, add another property to the 3
being passed into your proototype, and alter the code that actually does the
scaling appropriately...

Well I was able to do it..
Thanks all for your help.. :D
And just in case anyother person wonders about this here is the code that
works..

//------------START----------------------

Movieclip.prototype.scrollme = function(xPos, yPos, wPos, hPos) {
cX = this._x;
difX = cX-xPos;
this._x = cX-(difX/5);

cY = this._y;
difY = cY-yPos;
this._y = cY-(difY/5);

cW = this._width;
difW = cW-wPos;
this._width = cW-(difW/5);

cH = this._height;
difH = cH-hPos;
this._height = cH-(difH/5);
};

stop();

arrayIndex = 0;

caja1Xpositions = new Array(125,125,20);
caja1Ypositions = new Array(280,280,280);
caja1Wpos = new Array(230,230,20)
caja1Hpos = new Array(300,300,300)

caja2Xpositions = new Array(515,515,410);
caja2Ypositions = new Array(280,280,280);
caja2Wpos = new Array(530,530,740);
caja2Hpos = new Array(300,300,300);

caja1.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.scrollme(caja1Xpositions[arrayIndex], caja1Ypositions[arrayIndex],
caja1Wpos[arrayIndex], caja1Hpos[arrayIndex]);

};
caja2.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.scrollme(caja2Xpositions[arrayIndex], caja2Ypositions[arrayIndex],
caja2Wpos[arrayIndex], caja2Hpos[arrayIndex]);
};
butMC.but1.onRelease=function(){
arrayIndex=1;
}
butMC.but2.onRelease=function(){
arrayIndex=2;
}

//--------- END CODE---------

Thanks to all..

Guss.

Cool, glad you got it sorted...
