Hello,
Just when I thought the list was silent and wanted to bite with some issues, I
have returned to my outlook express and what do I see :) Jesse has began to
type on clouds LOL :=)
anyways here is my deal;
I have a 100X100 mc(mybox_mc) and -a button (my_btn) for testing purposes- on
the stage, I can invoke my function with onEnterFrame without any problems like
below.
my_btn.onRelease = function() {
scaleBox(mybox_mc, 500, 10, 10);
};
scaleBox = function (name, newWidth, newHeight, duration) {
name.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (name._width == newWidth && name._height == newHeight) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
name._width += (newWidth-name._width)/duration;
name._height += (newHeight-name._height)/duration;
};
};
but what I want to achieve and cannot succeed is to do this process with
setInterval. Here is my dirty code;
scaleBox = function (name, newWidth, newHeight, speed) {
if(name._width >= newWidth && name._height >= newHeight) {
trace("yo")
clearInterval(makerI);
}
name._width += (newWidth-name._width)/speed;
name._height += (newHeight-name._height)/speed;
};
my_btn.onRelease = function() {
makerI = setInterval(scaleBox,20,"mybox_mc",500,100,2);
}
I think the problem occurs at the last line, because I am calling the interval
with parameters, maybe it confuses and don't give me the exact intervals. I am
not sure at this point. Besides I can take all the ciritisms of creation of the
functions in terms of syntax and methods.
thanks in advance,
ilteris.
