Quick Variable Syntax Question

[robbmcaulay]

I am more of a graphics man myself and only dabble in variables etc. when needed...

So here we go... I need to define variables on the time line and on the frame there is a button...

Timeline AS :

code:

---

P = 284, 259;

---

Button AS :

code:

---

on(rollOver){

	_root.mc_folio.slider._easing = setInterval(ease, 40, slider, P, 2);

}

---

Can anyone explain the proper syntax to make this work? I would be extremely grateful...

Thanks, I will post the results as a thank you...

First of all, you would have to define a separate variable for each parameter you want to pass to your function later.

So "P = 284, 259" should look like:

code:

---

P1 = 284;

P2 = 259;

---

And later on, when you use these variables , you would do it like this:

code:

---

on(rollOver){

        _root.mc_folio.slider._easing = setInterval(ease, 40, slider, P1, P2, 2);

}

---

Also, if your button is located in some movie clip, you would have to use "_root." in front of each variable you want to call from the main timeline. For example, the call to that function would look like this:

code:

---

on(rollOver){

        _root.mc_folio.slider._easing = setInterval(ease, 40, slider, _root.P1, _root.P2, 2);

}
