[Resolved] [Resolved] [Resolved] [Resolved] Continuous action on(Press)

[FlashArrow]

How do I program an action to continuously happen WHILE the mouse button is being pressed, rather than just once?

I programmed my mouse to move a thumbnail slider

on (Press)
slider._x += 10

But it only slides it by 10 pix just once. I have to keep pressing the button.

How do I program it to continously slide while I hold down the button?

Thanks in advance for anybody's help.

ok, i think i can help you out.

on your button :

 on(press) { slidedown = true; }
        on(release) {slidedown = false; }

on your slider MC :

 onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
           if (slidedown = true) {
                 slider._x += 10;
               }

hope this helps
post again and let me know

Thanks.

It looks like that would work,except that I'm having problems passing the variable from my button to my MC. They both reside in the same timeline, so I'm trying to figure out what the problem is.

I finally figured it out and it works perfectly!!!!

Thanks again. I knew it was simple. I just wasn't getting it.

I appreciate your help...
