Sprite animation with ENTER_FRAME

Question

I have 2 mc in my library (mc_1 and mc_2) and 1 sprite. The mc's are the children of the sprite.

I write this code to put them on stage:

var m1: mc_1 = new mc_1;

var m2: mc_2 = new mc_2;

var g: sprite = new sprite();

m1.x = 0;

m2.x = 60;

g.addChild(m1);

g.addChild(m2);

addChild(g);

Now I want to start an animated switch between these 2 mc's using Event.ENTER_FRAME (m1 goes to the place of m2 and m2 goes to the place of m1 only on x axis). This should happen when I click on m1 or m2. How can I do that?

My function for animation is this:

function movePieces (event:Event) :void

{

var i: int;

for (i = 0; i <= 60; i = i +5)

{

t1.x = i;

t2.x = 60 - i;

}

So, I should do something like this?function movePieces (event:Event) :void{ var i: int = 0; if (i <= 60) { m1.x = i; m2.x = 60 - i; i = i + 5; }else{ removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, movePieces); }}function clickPiece(event:MouseEvent){ addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, movePieces);}m1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickPiece);m2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickPiece);Something like it, except you want i to be declared outside the function, otherwise it equals 0 easch time the function executes. Also, you might want to put a conditional on the line that adds the event listener in the clickPiece function so that it only creates the listener if one doesn't already exist.

You need to target m1 and m2, not t1 and t2. Also, make sure you create the ENTER_FRAME listener.
