Hi,

I'm looking for some scripting help. I've got a main movie (main_movie.swf)
and a second movie (content2.swf) which I will be loading into main movie at
level0. after a button is pressed. However, before loading it in, there is an
exit animation or a transitional wipe, if you will. I'm using actionscript so I
can implement other actions/changes more easily. The transition is basically a
white square that moves over the content until its obscured - its an mc that
uses on ClipEvent (enterframe) to move it to a new postion. You can see the
code/how far I've got with the mock flas here
http://eatest.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk

I'm assuming I need to use "if statements" to check whether the wipe has
reached its destination (its final _x position) and if it has then it can be
instructed to load content2.swf. I?m not entirely sure. However, I don't know
how to write the if statements and where they should be placed. For example, a
controller mc with the if statements its frames? Any better suggestions
appreciated too, I'd be so grateful for any help.

Ps. I'm using Flash 5.

Cheers

first of all, look in the action script referance dictionary (in the help) under 'if'.

the syntax is this:
if(statement){

Hi,
Thanks for the info I'll have a go at writing this and see how it goes...
but first can you clarify where to place the if statements - I don't get the
part about deleting itself. you see, I have the code to move the mc in
onClipEvent (enterFrame) then when it has reached its final position (it will
be off stage) I will load in a new swf. are you saying I need to write the code
into the onClipEvent handler?

my code right now is:
onClipEvent (load) {
//starting position
_x=750
wipex=750
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
//movement
_x+=(wipex-_x)/5
//end postion
wipex=-500

Thanks again for your time.
