Hi List, I just made a little experiment with this code...
function setMovieClipX(mc,desiredCoordX):Boolean
{
var updated:Boolean=true;
(desiredCoordX!=mc.x)?mc.x=desiredCoordX:updated=false;
"If the x posn isn't the right one move the movieclip, otherwise update
the status"
return updated;
}
trace(setMovieClipX(movieClip,286));
...and found to my utmost surprise that the trace command actually executed the
function and updated the movieClip.x position instead of just tracing true or
false.
It's just doing as you ask, isn't it?
If you check omit Trace in the Publish settings, movieClip remains at it's x
Position.
Well, it would!
Wonder if this could be of any use or is a potential danger when using traces
to debug?
Unless there's something I'm missing, everything is working as I would
expect it to.
If you pass a function call as a parameter, the function is run. If the
function includes code that will move a movieclip, the clip will move.
