syntax error? Where?

[jopeiro]

hey hey


where for the lifeame is the syntax error in this script? I cant get it

import mx.transitions.Tween;
function doTheAction(clip:MovieClip, action:String):Void
{
switch (action){
case "toCenter":
clip._x = Tween(clip,"_x",Regular.easeInOut,clip._x,Stage.wi dth/2,30,false);
clip._x = Tween(clip,"_y",Regular.easeInOut,clip._y,Stage.he ight/2,30,false);
break;
case "wobble":
clip._parent.gotoAndStop("wibblewobble");
break;
case "whatThe****":
_level0.dummyClip.gotoAndPlay("somewhere");
break;
}
};

if i wasnt so bald id be pulling my hair out

Try using new Tween:

code:

---

clip._x = new Tween(clip,"_x",Regular.easeInOut,clip._x,Stage.wi  dth/2,30,false);

clip._x =new  Tween(clip,"_y",Regular.easeInOut,clip._y,Stage.he  ight/2,30,false);

you cannot assign a class to a mc's _x property,

should be something like this;

import mx.transitions.Tween;
function doTheAction(clip:MovieClip, action:String):Void {
	switch (action) {
	case "toCenter" :
		clipXTween = new Tween(clip, "_x", Regular.easeInOut, clip._x, Stage.width/2, 30, false);
		clipyTween = new Tween(clip, "_y", Regular.easeInOut, clip._y, Stage.height/2, 30, false);
		break;
	case "wobble" :
		clip._parent.gotoAndStop("wibblewobble");
		break;
	case "whatThe****" :
		_level0.dummyClip.gotoAndPlay("somewhere");
		break;
	}
}

Tween is the Class name, thus has no return parameter either...
As such change:

 clip._x = Tween(clip,"_x",Regular.easeInOut,clip._x,Stage.width/2,30,false);
clip._x = Tween(clip,"_y",Regular.easeInOut,clip._y,Stage.height/2,30,false);

to

new Tween(clip,"_x",Regular.easeInOut,clip._x,Stage.width/2,30,false);
new Tween(clip,"_y",Regular.easeInOut,clip._y,Stage.height/2,30,false);

LOL...I didn't even notice that that code was trying to attach the Tween to the clips X property...

Tweens do have a return type though, so you can assign it to a variable:

var myTweenX=new Tween(clip,"_x",Regular.easeInOut,clip._x,Stage.wi dth/2,30,false);

var myTweenY=new Tween(clip,"_y",Regular.easeInOut,clip._y,Stage.he ight/2,30,false);

Err, of course returns every constructor the instanciated Class, dunno why i wrote the above BS

Hey wow it affected the clip!

I think I get some of whats going on here...

Unfortunatly it doesnt break up the rotation, the clicked clip still rotates along in its own world off stage...how would the rotation be stopped so the selected clip moves to the center and sits there?

I thought the break; line did that? Is it necessary to stop all the other functions going on in there for that?
