reset movie clip x-position & y-position back to original

[fitchic77]

Is there a command to reset x-position, y-position and rotation all at once...like reset command?...or would I have to find the original x-positions and y-positions to all elements and hardcode that back....EEEK!!

Many Thanks
Andrea

No, there's no build-in reset that I know of. You could do something like this:

code:

---

function storeState(target) {

for (var n in target) {

target[n].originalX = target[n]._x;

target[n].originalY = target[n]._y;

target[n].originalRot = target[n]._rotation;

}

}



function reset(target) {

for (var n in target) {

target[n]._x = target[n].originalX;

target[n]._y = target[n].originalY;

target[n]._rotation = target[n].originalRot;

}

}

So, at the start, type storeState(_root); to save all positions of all the clips in the _root. Then you can restore the positions later using reset(_root);. I just typed the code here directly, so there could be some errors, but you get the idea.

hi,
in order to create and store properties to a MovieClip instance you have to create a new class and register it to that instance.

code:

---

Object.registerClass("box", StoreState);



//storestate constructor

function StoreState(originalX, originalY, originalRot) {

	this.originalX = originalX;

	this.originalY = originalY;

	this.originalRot = originalRot;

}

//method to store vars

StoreState.prototype.storIt = function() {

	this.originalX = this._x;

	this.originalY = this._y;

	this.originalRot = this._rotation;

};

//method to reset vars

StoreState.prototype.resetIt = function() {

	this._x = this.originalX;

	this._y = this.originalY;

	this._rotation = this.originalRot;

};

//testing function

testit = function () {

	var re=function(){

		box.resetIt();

		clearInterval(id1);

	}

	box.storIt();

	box._x = 100;

	box._y = 100;

	box._rotation = 48;

	var id1 = setInterval(re, 2000);

};

//export a movie from the libe for testing..

this.attachMovie("box", "box", 10);



testit();
