Hey,

Simple bit of actionscript needed...

I am moving a movieclip with this code:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
	speed = 1;
	this._x += speed;
}

i want to say if this object goes off the screen bring it back to the beginning so that it loops

so e.g.... if (x position is 400) set back to -40

whats the correct syntax for this??

i got it, this is what i was trying to do

oh such the novice

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
	
	onscreen = true;	
		
	if (this._x >= 390) {
		onscreen = false;
	}	
		
	if (onscreen == true) {
		speed = 1;
		this._x += speed;
	}
	
	else if (onscreen == false) {
		this._x = -30;
		onscreen = true;
	}
	
}

or more briefly...

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
	if (this._x <= 390) {
		speed = 1;
		this._x += speed;
	}else{
		this._x = -30;
	}
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
this._x = this._x <= 390 ? this._x+1 : 30;
}
