How to unLoad onClipEvents????

[cookingkym]

Hey Everyone.

Im having a problem with a unloading a onClipEvent.

I have a web site which ive set up with a content_mc on the main scene and all the content inside that mc.

In my main scene i have a photo with a page curl effect, that is set off by a onClipEvent.

I only want this effect on the home page in the main scene, so how do i unload it after i go into the other pages????

Ive spent hours trying everything i know..

Please help!!!!

Many many thanks

My code as is:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root._xmouse>_root.x1 and _root._xmouse<_root.x2 and _root._ymouse>_root.y1 and _root._ymouse<_root.y2) {
tellTarget ("_root.next") {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
} else {
tellTarget ("_root.next") {
gotoAndStop(3);
}
}
}

First of all you are using Flash 4 code, which is deprecated in Flash 8. Then you better not associate any scripts with objects. Instead you put this in the actionframe where your image (movieclip) is.

mc.onEnterFrame = function ()
{
if (_root._xmouse>_root.x1 and _root._xmouse<_root.x2 and _root._ymouse>_root.y1 and _root._ymouse<_root.y2)
{
_root.next.gotoAndStop(2);
this.onEnterFrame = null;
} else
{
_root.next.gotoAndStop(3);
this.onEnterFrame = null;
}
}

Hello Again.

Flash 4 code! thats how good i am!!

Okay so i put this on the frame of my page curl_mc.

It looks good but i have the curl going up but it just stays up.
What i want is it working on the home page, but when i leave the home page for it to disable or something.

Is this possible? Or have i got it all wrong?

Your help has always been great so thank you.

not too steal your thread.. but IS there a way to unload onclipevents? I've had to work with really old games a few times lately for work and I have no intentions of recoding huge games haha.. just wondering if there's a quick fix to dump the enterFrame?

the only way to unload onclipevents is to unload the clip
once started they run for the life of the clip, but you can make the event conditional -

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(someVar==true){..do stuff.].
}
