-SOLVED-, Flash: While over button

What I try to archieve is to make a movie clip scroll while the mosue is over a button

This code works, but ti just scrolls when entering - when staying in the button, the movie clip doesn't move a pixel.
Any help?

I'm not too sure but it looks to me like that would only move it -5 pixels once.

Wouldn't you need to put it in some kind of loop?

I'm not too familiar with Actionscript, but it's just an idea.

Yeah, it moves once when you move in. What I want is a event like (mouseIsOver) or something which gets executed every frame when the mouse is over the button.

Would putting it in a while loop like this work?

while (rollOver) {
screenie_clip._x=screenie_clip._x-5
}

Nope, didn't work.

Is there an action for when you roll the mouse off the object?

Because you could create a boolean variable called "scroll" and set it to true on(rollOver) then in a set it to false when you roll off the button.

Something like

on (rollOver) {
scroll=true
}

on (rollOff?) {
scroll=false
}

And then on the movie clip, you'd have the event be like

while (scroll) {
screenie_clip._x=screenie_clip._x-5
}

Or something like that.

If there's no way to do that, you could track the mouse's position yourself. And make it something like this (I don't know what the exact functions for the mouse coordinates are, so you'd have to figure that out yourself)

while (mouse_x >= button._x - 50 && mouse_x <= button._x + 50 && mouse_y >= button._y - 50 && mouse_y <= button._y + 50) {
screenie_clip._x=screenie_clip._x-5
}

This assumes your button is 100 x 100 pixels big. (Seeing if the mouse is within 50 pixels from all sides of the middle of it.) You'd have to adjust that accordingly.

And as for the &&s, I'm not sure if that's what flash uses as an AND. It might just be the word AND.

I might be able to help you more if I reinstalled my copy of flash and actually tried it.

Nothing worked, sadly. I'll try doing it with a scroll bar, then.

EDIT: Works, so this thread can be closed now.
If you want a little script for scroll bars to move a movie clip, just PM me.

There's no need to close any help thread just because the problem has been solved.
