I'm not sure I understand exactly what you want, as it appears aspects of
your script conflict. If your sprite travels 1 pixel at a time, you can't
speed up a repeat loop beyond removing a delay. So, the first thing I
would do is remove all your delay detail.
>on mouseUp me
> repeat with y=883 down to 583
> sprite(pspriteNum).locV = Y
> updateStage
> end repeat
>end
This will prevent all these lines from being executed the 300 times
you've requested.
Beyond that, you can speed things up by moving more than one pixel at a
time. Here is a quick handler that will probably accompish everything.
NOTE: I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS
property pSpriteNum
on beginSprite me
pSpriteNum = me.spriteNum
end
on mouseUp me
speedAnim me, 883, 583, "down", 3, 0
end
on speedAnim me, startPos, endPos, upOrDown, speedFactor, delayFactor
sprite(pSpriteNum).locV = startPos
increm = (abs(startPos) - abs(endPos))/speedFactor
repeat with y= 1 to increm
if upOrDown = "up" then
sprite(me.SpriteNum).locV = sprite(pSpriteNum).locV + speedFactor
else
sprite(me.SpriteNum).locV = sprite(pSpriteNum).locV - speedFactor
end if
put the ticks into delayTime
repeat while the ticks < delayTime + delayFactor
end repeat
updateStage
end repeat
sprite(pSpriteNum).locV = endPos
end
speedAnim me, startPos, endPos, upOrDown, speedFactor, delayFactor
This may appear overly compicated, but it's just flexible. It says,
beginning with start and end positions, determine a number of increments
necessary to move the sprite base on more than 1-pixel per move. That is,
you first asked for 300 pixles. With a speed factor of 1, it will move
300 pixels. With a speed factor of 2, it will move (883-583)/2 = 150
times, etc. In the event you wanted to slow down the animation instead of
speed it up, you can leave speedFactor at 1, and increase delayFactor.
I added the endPos outside the repeat loop in case the increment caused
the final position to be a pixel or two off.
I also added the upOrDown adding flexibility to move... uh... up or down.
You could easily change sprite movement to .loc instead of .locV allowing
horizontal or angular movement, too. I didn't want to go crazy since I
didn't want to complicate matters and I didn't have Director open (or
time) to test it.
If something doesn't make sense, let me know.
