Clip running wild. Help!

[tommytx]

Help! I can't find anyway to stop this thing.

The clipevent moves the movieclip which is named mymovie_mc (instance) right of the bottom of the stage and keeps going. I have tried all the items following the // but none of the have any effect on stopping this thing. How do I stop this thing. I have searched and found a lot of data on stopping the onEnterFrame, but can't find anything on onClipEvent.


onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

_y += 5;

if (_y > Stage.height) {

// delete this.onClipEvent(enterFrame);
// delete this.onEnterFrame;
// this.removeMovieClip();

}

}

Whty don't you use an onEnterFrame function in the first place?

Hello...

Place your code on the timeline instead of on the movieclip itself, and then use something like this:

YourMovie_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
YourMovie_mc._y += 5;
if (YourMovie_mc._y > Stage.height){
delete YourMovie_mc.onEnterFrame;
}
}

Hope that helps!
