Multiple onEnterFrame functions Stall - LIL HELP?

[jubjub]

Hey All,

I've searched this quite a bit and can't seem to find an alternative.

I'm trying to run multiple onEnterFrame functions by using and "if" conditional in one to trigger the next.

Something like.....

onEnterFrame = function () {

various tween like actionscript statements;
if(some condition in the middle of this animation){
someNewFunction();
}
}




function someNewFunction() {

onEnterFrame = function () {
various tween like actionscript statements;
}

}




The result is that when someNewFunction() is called based on conditions met in the first onEnterFrame a second onEnterFrame function [within someNewFunction()] is called and they both stall.

I have created a work around in which all the statements I was going to run in the second onEnterFrame [within someNewFunction()] now fall in the "if" statement of the first.

But I'm thinking there is a better way.

Any help would be Greatly Appreciated!!!!!

first i'd suggest attaching the enterframes to objects, ie: this.onEnterFrame, and anotherclip.onEnterFrame
and delete them when they are not needed, ie: delete this.onEnterFrame

Hey jparis,

Thanks for the reply. I see what your saying although I have yet to get it to function. Here's the code. Any help is MUCH appreciated!!!!

init();


function init() {
attachMovie("mcLogIn", "mcLogIn", 0);
mcLogIn._x = 497.5;
mcLogIn._y = 200;
}


mcLogIn.mcLogInYes.onPress = function() {
logInOut(true);
}


function logInOut(logInYes:Boolean) {

if(logInYes == true) {

var easing:Number = 0.3;
var targetXscale:Number = 10;
var targetYscale:Number = 10;
var targetAlpha:Number = 0;

this.onEnterFrame = function () {

var al:Number = (targetAlpha - mcLogIn._alpha) * easing;
var xs:Number = (targetXscale - mcLogIn._xscale) * easing;
var ys:Number = (targetYscale - mcLogIn._yscale) * easing;
mcLogIn._xscale += xs;
mcLogIn._yscale += ys;
mcLogIn._alpha += al;

if(mcLogIn._alpha <= 3) {
homeToFront();
}

}
}
}




function homeToFront() {

attachMovie("mcHomeScreen", "mcHomeScreen", 10);
mcHomeScreen._x = 650;
mcHomeScreen._y = 300;
mcHomeScreen._xscale = 10;
mcHomeScreen._yscale = 10;
mcHomeScreen._alpha = 0;

var easing:Number = 0.5;
var targetXscale:Number = 100;
var targetYscale:Number = 100;
var targetAlpha:Number = 100;

this.onEnterFrame = function () {

var al:Number = (targetAlpha - mcHomeScreen._alpha) * easing;
var xs:Number = (targetXscale - mcHomeScreen._xscale) * easing;
var ys:Number = (targetYscale - mcHomeScreen._yscale) * easing;
mcHomeScreen._xscale += xs;
mcHomeScreen._yscale += ys;
mcHomeScreen._alpha += al;


if(mcHomeScreen._alpha >= 65) {
mainNavToFront();

if(mcHomeScreen._alpha >= 99.5) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
trace("deleted");
}
}
}
}





function mainNavToFront() {

attachMovie("mcNav", "mcNav", 12);
mcNav._alpha = 20;
var targetAlpha:Number = 100;
var easing:Number = 0.5;

this.onEnterFrame = function() {

var al:Number = (targetAlpha - mcNav._alpha) * easing;
this._alpha += al;

}

}



RIGHT WHEN.....

if(mcHomeScreen._alpha >= 65) {
mainNavToFront();

BECOMES "TRUE" mainNavToFront(); FUNCTIONS
BUT homeToFront(); STOPS NEVER REACHING THE NEXT NESTED "IF" CONDITIONAL.

IT WORKS FROM logInOut() TO homeToFront(); AS ONE IS COMPLETE AND THE NEXT STARTS. ALTHOUGH I SEE NOW I NEVER DO DELETE THE EVENT[S].
