Variables based on _x or _y

When I click on a button I want Flash to check the location of a MC and take action based
on the MC's location.

Here's my code:


I have uploaded my movie here:

If you click on any of the buttons (except main) the sides and center will move out of the way
to reveal the hidden content. I want flash to use the _y location to determine if the MC has already
slid out of the way, and if so, load some new content.

If you click on a button after the MC has slid away it just returns to the beginning of the MC and
reruns it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Well your general syntax is correct, but you shouldn't be comparing the _y value with a string value (putting the 0 in quotes).

Also you must make sure the _y position is on a whole value and not a decimal, it makes all the difference (Math.floor() can fix this).

But I don't believe that is your issue. It seems to me that this is all tweened animation inside a clip? I could be wrong since I don't know your setup, but you may be better off checking frame position with...

Sweet, the _currentframe is exactly what I was looking for.
As far as the _y value goes, I tried comparing it with and without
qoutes but niether one worked. Doesn't matter now, your code fixed it.

Thanks
