[RESOLVED] [MX04] How do I fix this function?

[sandyrivers]

code:

---

flowerButtons = function () {

	this.onEnterFrame = function() {

		if (buttonPlaying == true) {

			if (lyricsFlower.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {

				lyricsFlower.doPress();

			} else {

				buttonPlaying = false;

			}

		} else {

			buttonArea.onRelease();

			delete this.onEnterFrame;

		}

	};

};

buttonArea.onPress = function() {

	buttonPlaying = true;

	flowerButtons();

};

buttonArea.onRelease = function() {

	buttonPlaying = false;

	//there's more stuff in here that isn't useful for this question...

};

---

The problem with the "flowerButtons" function is that the onEnterFrame keeps resetting the "lyricsFlower.doPress" function so it never does what it's supposed to do, but I need the onEnterFrame in there for another reason. How can I fix it so that it enables the lyricsFlower function once and that's it?

Hoepfully that gives you enough information without me having to go into a diatribe of everything that's going on in this code. If however, you need more info to answer the question at hand, I'm happy to explain.

Thanks for any insight!

Hey dawsonk, thanks for the reply! For some reason I didn't get emailed...

Anyway I was coming back to this post to say that I fixed it.

I changed the function name to buttonDragOut and removed it from the onPress function.

code:

---

buttonDragOut = function () {

	this.onEnterFrame = function() {

		if (lyricsFlower.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {

			over = true;

		} else if (downloadsFlower.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {

			over = true;

		} else if (contactFlower.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {

			over = true;

		} else if (homeFlower.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {

			over = true;

		} else if (aboutFlower.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {

			over = true;

		} else if (datesFlower.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {

			over = true;

		} else if (catalogFlower.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {

			over = true;

		} else {

			over = false;

		}

		if (over == false) {

			new Tween(myBird, "_rotation", Regular.easeInOut, myBird._rotation, 0, 2, false);

			stopParticles();

		}

	};

};

buttonArea.onPress = function() {

	if (lyricsFlower.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {

		lyricsFlower.doPress();

	} else if (downloadsFlower.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {

		downloadsFlower.doPress();

	} else if (contactFlower.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {

		contactFlower.doPress();

	} else if (homeFlower.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {

		homeFlower.doPress();

	} else if (aboutFlower.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {

		aboutFlower.doPress();

	} else if (datesFlower.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {

		datesFlower.doPress();

	} else if (catalogFlower.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {

		catalogFlower.doPress();

	}

};

buttonArea.onRelease = function() {

	new Tween(myBird, "_rotation", Regular.easeInOut, myBird._rotation, 0, 2, false);

	if (_root.particlePlay == "play") {

		myInterval = setInterval(stopParticles, 500);

	}

};

Not as pretty as yours, but it works so I'm happy.

Thanks for taking the time to help!
