[F8] easy:if(mc._xscale<50){//do smthng} if not: problem...

hi. can someone please tell me why this is not working. this should be easy for anyone who actually knows a bit about anything ... :rolleyes:

i'm trying to make an mc 'pic' grow if clicked, attach a text box to it, and on a second click make it shrink again and unattach the text box. i've tried testing the mc's size with if-statements like so:

Code:

---

if (pic._xscale <= 50) {
        pic.onRelease = function() {
                myTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(pic, "_xscale", easeType, 50, 100, 7);
                myTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(pic, "_yscale", easeType, 50, 100, 7);
                attachMovie("textbox", "textbox", 100, {_x:300, _y:10});
        };
}
if (pic._xscale ==100) {
        pic.onRelease = function() {
                myTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(pic, "_xscale", easeType, 100, 50, 7);
                myTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(pic, "_yscale", easeType, 100, 50, 7);
                unloadMovie("textbox");
        };
}

---

i've tried many variations of this code. sometimes i get the first if-statement to work, sometimes the second, but never both of them. this code does grow the 'pic' and attach the text box, but ignores the second if-statement. i've attached an example fla.

your help will be very much appreciated!

hi,

First you click the button, then you test the scale value, and act accordingly.

code:

---

pic.onRelease = function()

{

	if (pic._xscale <= 50)

	{

		myTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(pic, "_xscale", easeType, 50, 100, 7);

		myTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(pic, "_yscale", easeType, 50, 100, 7);

		attachMovie("textbox","textbox",100,{_x:300, _y:10});

	}

	else if (pic._xscale == 100)

	{

		myTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(pic, "_xscale", easeType, 100, 50, 7);

		myTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(pic, "_yscale", easeType, 100, 50, 7);

		unloadMovie("textbox");

	}

};

yes of course! where's my brain?
thanks man :)
