Need help making a button driven orgasm bar.

[Purplemantis]

Hey folks. I'm an actionscript noob and would like some advice doing something for an upcoming commission.

The client wants a function where if you click a button, it will play a quick animated clip, make a displayed progress bar go up a bit, and eventually get to a looping orgasm clip after the bar's x value reaches a certain point.

I'm testing the button clicking function and I THINK it's working based on the output window...but the bar graphic isn't moving. What am I doing wrong? Fla attached.

Can you post the source? (.fla)

a .fla? not here you can't. for whatever reason..

and seeing as PMs are a 10-post premium, for.. probably a good reason
uploading it to an external file-hosting site it your best bet.

mega, mediafire. whatever.

Nah, we mods are just meanies who want to keep all the spam to ourselves!

What action script version do you use ? Can you post fla file - it will be more simple to say where the problem is.

[Purplemantis]

Strange, for some reason I wasn't notified that someone responded to this thread. But sure here's the FLA. It is actionscript 3 btw.

Thank you guys in advance for any help you can give.

Code: Select All Code

var clickCount:int;
clickCount=1;
var temp:Number=MarsOrg.scaleX;

clickme.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clicked);
function clicked(event:Event) {
clickCount+=1;
MarsOrg.scaleX=temp*clickCount;
if(clickCount>=11){
this.gotoAndStop(40);
}
}


Try this on the first page of your *.fla

I little do not understand how it have to work more correctly - so if you will need just write more correctly what where have to change.

By the way what version of flash do you use CS6 or 5 or what ?

[Purplemantis]

Cs5

OK, it's ALLLLMOST there. It functions properly if you spam the button, but if you wait between clicks, the clickCount variable resets and each subsequent click wigs out the bar from there until you start spamming again. What I need is for it to remember how many click have been done total regardless of the time in between and for the bar to not scale up the way it does after extended time between clicks.

To better illustrate how it's wigging out I did a trace thingy to track clicks and threw in a few old flvs to give a better visual of where you're at on the timeline.

Some thing like that ? I little change structure of your flash.

Do it have to make bar go to 0 too ? Or i little do not understand you again ?

[Purplemantis]

It should start at 0, but it should not return to 0/shrink when it loops back to the neutral animation. Like if I click it once, it should remember I've clicked once and got to two and so on the next time I click it. The player shouldn't have to spam the button to get the bar all the way up. The bar/number is not supposed to reset.

[Purplemantis]

I found the issue.

There was a line within the middle movieclip that told the counter to reset to "0". I just deleted that and it functions properly now!

Thank you so much for your help OwnerofSuccby. I owe you one!
