[Xerte] Re: Stop/start onEnterFrame event

[Julian Tenney]

The way to turn it on or off is to delete the function - it will otherwise always run.  So the function ca say if(mySomeFlag == true) do stuff else not;

I prefer to recreate the function. The way I like to do is to create a function

myFunction = function(){
  ///blah
}

Then myMC.onEnterFrame = myFUnction to start it; delete myMC.onEnterFrame //doesn't delete the function, I think, otherwise I recreate the tracker clip itself,

Subject: [Xerte] Stop/start onEnterFrame event


Think I went down this road before and could not figure it out.

If I have an event icon set to target the onEnterFrame event of a dummy swf I'm using just to update stuff at certain times, is there a way to turn that event off and on?
Or does it just run constantly and I need to use a secondary variable to execute it's code or not?

Cheers,

Dave
