Initiate Actions Based on _x?

[InkDrop]

Ok...after several hours tinkering I've set up a movie to initiate a set of actions triggered by a movieclips _x position. Im using Math.round to keep my intergers whole and im using ease on my movieclip. If the movieclip starts on a whole interger and the buttons are hit 1,2,3,4 everything is fine, but hit the buttons out of order (2,4,1,3) or set the start point of the mc to anything but a whole interger and the movie becomes a mess.

I don't understand what im doing wrong. I tried some simple loop commands and my comp just locked up repeatedly so I broke down and used frameloops, it's closer to complete but still so far.

I've attached a my test document, and a break down of my code. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


The _x position needs to be...
30 to initiate the home actions.
-620 to initiate the about actions.
-1280 to initiate the portfolio actions.
-1930 to initiate the contact actions.

when the function scripts moves the section MC from right to left everything is fine but to go from left to right the x position is off by 4 pixels(if you use Math.floor it off by +2 or -2). The text field with the number is a trace for the x position. Check it out you'll see what I mean.

Thanks for taking the time to look.

Heres my mc code

onClipEvent (load) {
	new_posi = _x;
	ease = 5;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	_x += Math.floor((new_posi-_x)/ease);
}

my function

function sectionopen() {
	if (_root.sectionName == "home") {
		_root.section.new_posi = 30;
	}
	if (_root.sectionName == "about") {
		_root.section.new_posi = -620;
	}
	if (_root.sectionName == "portfolio") {
		_root.section.new_posi = -1280;
	}
	if (_root.sectionName == "contact") {
		_root.section.new_posi = -1930;
	}
}

example of the button scripts

on (press) {
	_root.sectionName = "home";
	_root.sectionopen();
	_root.gotoAndPlay("home");
}

example of my timeline loop

new_posi = _root.section._x;
this.xplacement.text = new_posi;
trace(new_posi);
if(_root.section._x <> 30){
	_root.section.home._visible = false;
	_root.gotoAndPlay(11);
} else if(_root.section._x == 30){
		_root.section.home._visible = true;
			_root.gotoAndStop(10);
}
