[Actionscript] Smooth Scrolling On Button Press

Hello,

Im trying to make a MC smooth scroll on button press, right now it only advances once when pressed, it doesnt stay advancing when it stays hovered.

here is my code

_root.leftButton_mc.onRollOver= function() {
_root.world.grass._x = _root.world.grass._x + 25;
_root.world.water_mc._x = _root.world.water_mc._x + 5;
_root.world.city._x = _root.world.city._x + 2;
_root.world.item2Button._x = _root.world.item2Button._x + 5;
}

I tried onPress, onMouseOver etc but can not figure this one out, also any easing code help will be greatly appreciated to make it look nice and smooth.

Thanks!

SOLVED

_root.leftButton_mc.onPress = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.world.grass._x = _root.world.grass._x + 25;
_root.world.water_mc._x = _root.world.water_mc._x + 5;
_root.world.city._x = _root.world.city._x + 2;
_root.world.item2Button._x = _root.world.item2Button._x + 5;
}
}

_root.leftButton_mc.onRelease = function() {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}

 

Thanks, I might use this myself...

 

I would suggest you use timer rather than implementing new onEnterFrame event handler, to save CPU usage.
