Rubbing?

[humbuged]

Hello

I need help pls with figuring out mouse actions that involve movement.

1. Lets say I want to rub a lamp and make a genie appear. What codes do I need to detect when the mouse is clicked and dragged back and forth the lamp a few times and then the genie effect appears? (Uh, either movieclip or jump to frame??)

2. I saw the slapping game where u drag ur curser and then the character slaps her enemy. What codes would I need?

Thanks

Well, I came up with this for the rubbing thing

hxxp://files-upload.com/files/492258/lamprub.fla

A_mc.onRollOver = function () {
    this._visible = false;
    B_mc._visible = true;
    rub = rub + 10;
    trace ("A-hide B-appear");
};

B_mc.onRollOver = function () {
    this._visible = false;
    A_mc._visible = true;
    rub = rub + 10;
    trace ("B-hide A-appear");
};

rub = 0; 

if (rub < 100) {
    stop();
};

if (rub == 100) {
    gotoAndPlay("rubbed");
};

Everything works except for the rub varialble. The rub counter goes up everytime the hidden buttons are hit, but it doesnt jump to "rubbed" when it reaches 100.

Would be nice if someone told me what I'm doing wrong

Well, I got help from the kirupa forums. All I needed was a function that checks the rub variable again & again.

Here's the results for all interested

A_mc.onRollOver = function() {
    this._visible = false;
    B_mc._visible = true;
    rub += 5;
    trace("A-hide B-appear");
    checks()
};

B_mc.onRollOver = function() {
    this._visible = false;
    A_mc._visible = true;
    rub += 5;
    trace("B-hide A-appear");
    checks()
};

bar.onEnterFrame = function() {
    this._xscale = rub;
};

rub = 0;

stop();
function checks() {
    if (rub>=100) {
        gotoAndPlay("rubbed");
    }
}
