hey ,

is it possible to loop an action activated by a rollover?
my current script will only run once...

how do you set up an "if" statement... so that when rolling over a button, an
action will loop until i rollout?

any help is appreciated

thanks,
nazarko

bit too general, you will need to show us what action you are trying to loop

hey
thanks!

here is the code im trying to loop....


on (rollOver) {
if (_root.mainVar == 0) {
homeX = (-_root._xmouse*2.2)+1300;
} else {
homeX = (-_root.mainVar*2.2)+1300;
}
thisX = grass._x;
diffX = homeX-thisX;
if (_root.mainVar == 0) {
moveX = diffX/60;
} else {
moveX = diffX/40;
}
grass._x = thisX+moveX;

}
and ive posted a rough example

the background is the effect im trying to achieve...

also, i just realized im going to have a button overlaying another button...
is it possible to have both active...
or does the large rollover cancel out the imbedded ones ?

thanks !

on (rollOver) executes only once whenever the mouse hits the object, not
continuously. You would need to set up a condition [e.g. myButtonActive=true;]
that you then check in _root.onEnterFrame [e.g. if (myButtonActive) {...}].
Your condition will then be checked 12 times a second or whatever value you
have set for fps. Make sure you remove the condition when you roll out [e.g.
myButtonActive=false;].
Only one of your buttons can receive on (rollOver) at a time. I think you can
call your event from within your code but I can't check this right now. Maybe
something like

mySecondButton.onRollOver();
