check variable through loop

[ericflash]

I have a loop that is check to see if three variables are true if so then play animation.

The problem with my code is it triggers the animation if one out of the three is =true; when it should check if all three are true then and only then should it play the animation

function loopShowsAnim() {
	for (var i = 0; i < plantArr.length; i++) {
		if (plantArr[i].deleted) {
			trace("DELETED = "+plantArr[i].deleted);
		animation.gotoAndPlay(1);
		} else {
			trace("ELse")
			ranShowsAnim();
// ranShowsAnim calls the function again to see if all three variables called "deleted" are == true;
		}
	}
}

What happens is if one is ==true it plays the animation and also goes to the else statement which calls the function again.
I need to only play the animation if all three are true;

You won't be able for it to stop doing that unless you redo part of the function, i am still thinking about that i don't have time to rewrite it right now i am at work, sorry.

Ok great but if anyone else that has the time can let me know how I can fix this that would be great.

Thanks,

code:

---

this.onLoad = function() {

checkdelete = 0;

};

function loopShowsAnim() {

for (var i = 0; i < plantArr.length; i++) {

if (plantArr[i].deleted) {

trace("DELETED = "+plantArr[i].deleted);

checkdelete++;

}

if(checkdelete == plantArr.length) {

animation.gotoAndPlay(1);

}

if((i == plantArr.length) && (checkdelete !== plantArr.length)) {

trace("ELse");

ranShowsAnim();

}

}

}

[joejoe2288]

what went wrong?

[joejoe2288]

Here is the file.
I have changed a few things and it gets to the animation if statement but it won't clear the interval to shut off the loop.

Here is the file
FLA FILE

Unexpected file format! Can't open your .fla.
You'd have a better chance of getting an answer if your .fla was in a MX only format.

You would have to save a copy of your MX2004 .fla, (using Save as...) and changing the Document type to MX only in the Save as... window.

Joe is on MX2004, but probably playing Halo!

Here you go let me know if this works for you. Thanks for taking the time to look at this file.
