Actionscript is no longer important since it was used for SWF output. But I think you mean an advanced action, which will be converted to JavaScript on runtime.

Did you read the blog post for which I posted the link? It has a step-by-step workflow. You need to create custom effects using a precise motion path. than make that custom effect available to be used in an advanced action. The advanced actions themselves are explained in the blog post. I don't think you have followed the workflow as explained.

If you want more details about preparing a custom effect for use in an advanced action, here is another blog post link:

Indeed, I would use a Boolean variable to check the status. The problem you have however is due to the use of default motion paths from the Entrance and Exit category. You need to create custom effects using the Motion path category so that you can define the exact start and end points of the motion paths. Have a look at this blog post which describes the exact workflow:
