Actionscript setproperity

[jefargrafx]

why doesn't this work

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
setProperty (_root.popoutMC, _x, _x-5);

}

onClipEvent (enterframe) {

getProperty ( popoutMC, _X )

if (this, _x == 0) {

setProperty (this, _x, 5);

}


}



If popoutMC = 0 set popoutMC _X to 5??

let me know what you think

onClipEvent (enterframe) {

getProperty ( popoutMC, _X )
Why capital "_X"
if (this, _x == 0) {
Don't think you can write an if statement this way! Assign mymc:_x to a variable, and then check the variable in the if statement.
setProperty (this, _x, 5);

}

Hope that this
was helpful!

try:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this._x>5) {
this._x = this._x-5;
} else {
this._x = 5;
}
}

.....on your movie-clip.

Most of the problem was down to you using commas instaed of periods in the 'this._x' statement.
