Re: [Flashcoders] Changing Values Programmatically

[Latcho]

- build in some traces
- I won't dive in your code sice it has a weird structure and a lot of 
if else cases that can go wrong easily;
- work with states.
- You might want to make a clear reset(state:String) function that 
resets all back to a certain  state before starting again.

But maybe start checking on the alpha and also if it is staged.
trace(XXXContainer.alpha, XXXContainer.stage,XXXContainer.visible)

Also make sure your Tweens don't overwrite each one another.
OverwriteManager.init(OverwriteManager.AUTO)

Ciao,

Hi;
I have the following code. When
it runs through BigContainer the second time, for some reason my
containers disappear and nothing shows on the screen. This happens even
if I take out my removeChild statements, and that's what's got me
puzzled. Ideas?

        var start_flag:Boolean = true;
        var start_flag2:Boolean = true;

        function
BigContainer()
        {
            if(start_flag == false)
            {
                start_flag2 = false;
            }
            if(start_flag == true)
            {

LoadImages();
                start_flag = false;
            }
            else
            {
                if(i == 4)
                {
                    i = 1;
                }
                else if(i == 3)
                {
                    j = 1;
                }
                var timeline:TimelineLite =
new TimelineLite({onComplete:LoadImages()});

timeline.append(new TweenLite(container_left, 3, {alpha: 1}));
            }
        }
