Hello,

I have a flash doc with two MC's (red1 and red2) and two frames.

In frame 1, the user can select one of the MC's, and in frame 2, he can move ONLY that MC.

Is there a way to write a general code in frame 2 and not having to write an "IF" depending an extra variable I had to create?
Because in the future I will have lots of MC's.

Here is the little code I have:

Frame 1
Quote:
stop();

extra_var = 0;

red1.onRelease = function() {
extra_var = 1;
(new Color(red1)).setRGB(0xFF6666);
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
};

red2.onRelease = function() {
extra_var = 2;
(new Color(red2)).setRGB(0xFF6666);
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
};


Frame 2
Quote:
stop();

delete red1.onRelease;
delete red2.onRelease;

if (extra_var == 1) {
red1.onPress = function() {
startDrag(red1, true);
};
red1.onRelease = function() {
red1.stopDrag();
(new Color(red1)).setRGB(0xFF0000);
delete red1.onPress;
delete red1.onRelease;
_root.gotoAndStop(1);
};
};

if (extra_var == 2) {
red2.onPress = function() {
startDrag(red2, true);
};
red2.onRelease = function() {
red2.stopDrag();
(new Color(red2)).setRGB(0xFF0000);
delete red2.onPress;
delete red2.onRelease;
_root.gotoAndStop(1);
};
};



I really need to solve this so I can upload the .fla if necesary.
Thanks.

eehehehehehee
i`m sure you still have to learn about OOP.
well, you can assign a variable to the released object, so you will have:
frame 1:
Code: [ Select ]
stop();
var selectedClip = null;

red1.onRelease = red2.onRelease = function()
{
    selectedClip = this;
    (new Color(this)).setRGB(0xFF6666);
    _root.gotoAndStop(2);
};
  1. stop();
  2. var selectedClip = null;
  4. red1.onRelease = red2.onRelease = function()
  5. {
  6.     selectedClip = this;
  7.     (new Color(this)).setRGB(0xFF6666);
  8.     _root.gotoAndStop(2);
  9. };


frame 2:
Code: [ Select ]
stop();
delete red1.onRelease;
delete red2.onRelease;

selectedClip.onPress = function()
{
    startDrag(selectedClip, true);
};

selectedClip.onRelease = selectedClip.onReleaseOutside = function()
{
    this.stopDrag();
    (new Color(this)).setRGB(0xFF0000);
    delete this.onPress;
    delete this.onRelease;
    delete this.onReleaseOutside;
    _root.gotoAndStop(1);
};
  1. stop();
  2. delete red1.onRelease;
  3. delete red2.onRelease;
  5. selectedClip.onPress = function()
  6. {
  7.     startDrag(selectedClip, true);
  8. };
  10. selectedClip.onRelease = selectedClip.onReleaseOutside = function()
  11. {
  12.     this.stopDrag();
  13.     (new Color(this)).setRGB(0xFF0000);
  14.     delete this.onPress;
  15.     delete this.onRelease;
  16.     delete this.onReleaseOutside;
  17.     _root.gotoAndStop(1);
  18. };
