Hey

I hope this is the right forum for this; there doesn't seem to be a forum specifically designed for ActionScripting, unless I was dumb enough to miss it. Anyway onwards with my question:

I have a MC that has a constantly changing _x and _y variable. Now for the aim of my game to work, I need to store the MC's variable and keep it frozen at diffrent points of time.

For example, if for one second the _x position was 70, in the next second it would change to 80. What I want is a way of storing the 70, while the _x continues to change constantly.

If anyone could shed some light on this topic for me, I would be very thankfull.

On the frame that it is at 70, put "YOURVARIABLE = _root.YOURMC._x"

I dont think you understand my question.

I dont think you understand my question.

I guess I don't. Is it where you need something else to have the same _x and _y? Cause then it's just an enterFrame event of _x = _x .etc.

I think that what it is is that you just need a bunch of different variables for each of the times you need the number stored.

Yes, but if I do that the variable constantly changes because the _x of my MC is constantly changing. I need a variable that stores a frozen _x variable, while MC's variable continues to change

Make a function that captures the objects x and y coords.

Position = new Function(){

   XVARIABLE = this._x OR _root.OBJECTNAME._x

   YVARIABLE = this._y OR _root.OBJECTNAME._y

}

WHAT EVER(WHAT EVER YOU WANT){

   Position

}

And that would freeze it, I assume?

As long as you're making a new variable that is separate from the one that changes to the MC's position, then yes.

You can run that function at anytime. As it is a funtion.

Thanks, I'll try that =]

sorry offtopic but Noob_Of_Doom - i loled at your sig. that person must be such a dumbass.
