Variable trouble

[richvalve]

Hi

I am having trouble. When the user rolls over the button I want the varialbe set to true. When the user has rolled over all the buttons, they will go to the end screen. Any ideas how I achieve this?!

I am trying things like onrollover set variable of button to TRUE etc, but don't seem to be getting very far.

Any advice appreciated a lot

Thanks

Richard

you could keep a running count and as each button gets rolled over add to the count then when that variable count reaches a certain number goto where you need to goto

 

[richvalve]

Is this what you mean?

on (rollover){
var x = 1;
trace(x)
}

This command is on the buttons, then an action script saying when a-z = 1 goto final page. Or I guess a boolean yes/no would be better

Thanks

no more like say you have 10 buttons that need to be rolled over before you can go on, you give each button an as like:

on (rollover){
_root.counter++;
}

then have the movie looping through two frames inwhich the first you have something like:

if (counter == 10) {
gotoAndPlay(50);
}

then just disable each button after it is rolledover so they can not simply rollover the same button ten times:

on (rollover){
_root.counter++;
this.onRollover=null;
}

are there any other buttons in the movie to which you want to apply a rollover function. if not a prototype will work like a charm

let me know and if not i will write a simple button.prototype statement for you

There aern't any other buttons in the movie in which I want to aplly this rollover function. Just the 10 rollovered buttons

Hmmmm!

ok then

theButtons = ["but1", "but2", "but3"];
Button.prototype.onRollOver = function() {
	removeIt(this._name);
	checkEmpty();
};
function removeIt(someButton) {
	for (var i = 0; i<theButtons.length; i++) 
		if (theButtons[i] == someButton) 
			theButtons.splice(i, 1);
}
function checkEmpty() {
	if (theButtons.length == 0) gotoAndPlay(&quot;end&quot;)
}
