Hi all,
I've made some discoveries and am a little baffled.
When looping in one frame:
--------------------------
Using the 'on prepareFrame' handler in the frame script will execute the commands
within it every time the frame loops.
Using the 'on prepareFrame' handler in a sprite script will execute the commands
within it only once.
Using the 'on beginSprite' handler in a sprite script will execute the commands within
it only once.
Using the 'on beginSprite' handler in the frame script will execute the commands
within it only once.
Up until now I have been using the 'on prepareFrame' handler in frame scripts, but to
prevent it from re-executing the commands within it every time
the frame loops I have been setting a variable to prevent this from happening more
than once.
Example
-------
global framePrepared
on startMovie
framePrepared = 0
end
on prepareFrame me
if framePrepared = 0 then
framePrepared = 1
<code to be executed>
<code to be executed>
<code to be executed>
end if
end
What I'm getting at is what is the purpose of the 'on prepareFrame' handler when the
'on beginSprite' handler can be used in a frame script?
Is the 'on beginSprite' handler meant to be used in a frame script? Or an 'on
prepareFrame' handler to be used in a sprite script for that matter?
