Hi Aji,
I did use the push method - is there an issue with that?
tracing sn.y does correctly trace the y value, but the sprites still don't
update in the render. And now, the STRANGEST thing; after reading Nick's
post, I took out the IF statement:
for each(var sn :Sprite3D in snowflakes)
{
// var sn :Sprite3D = snowflakes[i];
sn.y -= 10;
// if(sn.y < 0)
// {
// sn.y = 300;
// }
// trace("updating",sn.y,"flakes");
}
and that worked!
Then just by putting the trace statement back in it doesn't?!
So following from that I tried putting the IF statement before everything
else:
for each(var sn :Sprite3D in snowflakes)
{
if(sn.y < 0)
{
sn.y = 300;
}
// var sn :Sprite3D = snowflakes[i];
sn.y -= 10;
// tr("updating",sn.y,"flakes");
}
and that WORKS!
completely bizarre.
Kevin.
