onEnterFrame

Ninjadoodle

Hi guys

I've setup a self.lightbulb movie clip inside a scenes init() function

I'm now trying to set its rotation inside onEnterFrame, but nothing is happening ...

function StageRandom02:onEnterFrame() self.lightbulb:setRotation(40) end

If I put the same line - self.lightbulb:setRotation(40) - inside init(), it works fine.

What could I be doing wrong here?

Thank you heaps for any help!

you are just setting rotation to 40 degress every time, if you want to rotate it, you would need to do something like:

function StageRandom02:onEnterFrame() self.lightbulb:setRotation(self.lightbulb:getRotation()+40) end

I think he means it isn't event setting the first setRotation.

@Ninjadoodle Did you remember to actually point the ENTER_FRAME event to the function ?

Hi @ar2rsawseen

I'm still getting nothing in the onEnterFrame event - no rotation / movement.

inside init() it works just fine.

Thanks again, I'm not sure what it could be

Oh yeah, thats too, add to your init function

self:addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, self.onEnterFrame, self)

Oh man! That was it, I assumed that it was automatically added (like the init function).

Thanks for that!!
