Without thinking about this too much, I might have a count of the balls in
transit. When a ball reaches it's destination, the count is decremented. I
would only add a new row when the count is zero. Does that do the trick?

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Order of events for function call
I have another related question about this collapse game.
Every few seconds, all the rows of balls on the game screen move up one
row
and are replaced with a new row of random balls.
I have a problem whereby this may occur immediately after I have just
assigned the falling balls their new destinations. Hence the falling balls
think that the bottom row was empty and are heading to fill this gap but
now
the new line of balls has filled this gap and shifted all the tile data up
by one row.
I would appreciate any advice on how to prevent this problem.
Thanks
Paul

Thanks to everyone for the great advice. I have now taken your advice and
got rid of all the multiple onEnterFrames and it now works a treat.

You can't rely on the order of events for two movies in the same
timeline. Instead, why not have an onEnterFrame in the parent clip
that calls functions in ball_mc and ball2_mc in the proper order?

This may be really basic but I can't understand.
The following is a simplified version of what I am trying to achieve.
Basically I am attaching an onEnterFrame function to 2 objects, say
object1
and object2.
I am attaching it to object1 first however it is calling the onEnterFrame
function for object2 first.
I would appreciate any advice on why this is happening.
When I test the movie, the "Object2 enter frame" trace is displaying
first.
Here is the code for my simplified test file:
object1 = attachMovie("ball_mc","ball_mc",1);
object2 = attachMovie("ball_mc","ball_mc2",2);
object1.onEnterFrame = function() {
trace ("Object1 enter frame");
}
object2.onEnterFrame = function() {
trace ("Object2 enter frame");
}
Many thanks
Paul
