[RESOLVED] For Loop - Changing section

[bmcc81]

Hi,

I have this timer code that I want to use to change my sections every 2 secs.

var DoRandom = function() {
	var target_x = home_x - content_mc.section_1._x;
	content_mc.slideTo( target_x, "0", 2 ); 
}


var intervalID = setInterval(DoRandom, 2000);

So I want section_1 go to section_2 and so on every time it goes through the loop.

Is there away to put a for loop in there?

So it adds 1 to section_ everytime?

This is what I thought.

var DoRandom = function () {
for (i=1; i<=section_; i++) {
var target_x = home_x-content_mc.section_1._x;
content_mc.slideTo(target_x,"0",2);
}
};


var intervalID = setInterval(DoRandom, 1000);

I just want to add 1 to section_ everytime it goes through the loop.

try-

var i:Number = 1;

function DoRandom() {
var target_x = home_x - content_mc["section_"+i]._x;
content_mc.slideTo( target_x, "0", 2 ); 
i++;
};

var intervalID = setInterval(DoRandom, 2000);

and once it's finished I want it to got hte end .

I just wrote

if (target_x == home_x-content_mc.section_4._x) {
	content_mc.slideTo(target_x,"0",2);
	var alphaT:Tween = new Tween(b_0, "_alpha", Regular.easeOut, 50, 70, 1, true);
}

Is taht the right idea?

[a_modified_dog]

the syntax is OK
whether it works in your project is impossible to say from here

[bmcc81]

Ya It doesn't work in my project.

How would I change he alpha to my buttons when I change sections?

[a_modified_dog]

possibly try looping to check the if(condition) ??

this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if (target_x == home_x-content_mc.section_4._x) {
this.onEnterFrame = null;
    content_mc.slideTo(target_x,"0",2);
    var alphaT:Tween = new Tween(b_0, "_alpha", Regular.easeOut, 50, 70, 1, true);
}
}; 

pretty much impossible for me to go any further with this one, sorry

Hey,

I figured it out.
I used clearInterval.

It worked great. I used an if statement with the clearInterval.

And to send it back TO THE START...
Also an if statment but I just added to the if (i==6)

var target_x = home_x-content_mc.section_0._x;
	content_mc.slideTo(target_x,"0",2);

var i:Number = 1; 

function DoRandom() { 
var target_x = home_x - content_mc["section_"+i]._x; 
var alphaT:Tween = new Tween(["section_"+i], "_alpha", Regular.easeOut, 50, 70, ["b_"]+i, true);
content_mc.slideTo( target_x, "0", 2 ); 
i++; 
if(i==6) clearInterval(intervalID);
if(i==6) var target_x = home_x-content_mc.section_0._x;
	content_mc.slideTo(target_x,"0",2);
}   

var intervalID = setInterval(DoRandom, 2000);

Pretty cool,

Thanks for your help before

Hi Again,

I was thinking about it and I want this to start again from the start once it goes through and sends back to the beginning.

Is was thinking maybe delete var

would I simply write that like;

delete var i;


I just tried this and it seems to work

var i:Number = 1; 

function DoRandom() { 
var target_x = home_x - content_mc["section_"+i]._x; 
content_mc.slideTo( target_x, "0", 2 ); 
i++; 

if(i==6) var target_x = home_x-content_mc.section_0._x;
	content_mc.slideTo(target_x,"0",2);
	if(i==7) {
		var i:Number = 1; 
		var target_x = home_x - content_mc["section_"+i]._x; 
content_mc.slideTo( target_x, "0", 2 ); 
		}
set [i]=1
trace(i);
}

When I trace(i); it shows

2
3
4
5
5
6
1
BUT THEN
8
9
10

Which is not what I want.

I want it to continue to be
1
2
3
4
5
6
and that's it.

How would I get his done?

[a_modified_dog]

var i:Number = 1; 

function DoRandom() { 
var target_x = home_x - content_mc["section_"+i]._x; 
content_mc.slideTo( target_x, "0", 2 ); 
i++; 

if(i==6) {
var target_x = home_x-content_mc.section_0._x;
content_mc.slideTo(target_x,"0",2);
}

if(i==7) {
i = 1;         
var target_x = home_x - content_mc["section_"+i]._x; 
content_mc.slideTo( target_x, "0", 2 ); 
}
trace(i);
}; 

is the trace correct ?

Thanks for the help,

Here's the code if anyone's interested.

It may not be the prettiest, but she works.
