Action Script Question

[eliw12510111]

            addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);

        }

            private function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void {

                var dx:Number = circle_mc1.x - square_mc.x;

                var dy:Number = circle_mc1.y - square_mc.y;

                var angle:Number = Math.atan2 (dy,dx);

                var xVelocity:Number =Math.cos(angle) * speed;

                var yVelocity:Number =Math.sin(angle) * speed;

                square_mc.x += xVelocity;

                square_mc.y += yVelocity;

                circle_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, Stopd)

            }

            private function Stopd(evt.MouseEvent):void

            {

                this.square_mc.stop;

            }

Getting the error code

1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before dot.

for the enlarged line.

You want to use:

this.square_mc.stop();

Ok awesome, thank you.

Didn't quite have the effect I was looking for though. How do I get square_mc to go towards circle_mc until I let go of the mouse click? Right now it just goes part way every time a click wether I hold it or not.

You'll have to give me more information. It sounds like you have an action where you want an object to move on the stage while the mouse button is down and then to stop moving when the button is released. Is that correct? Can you share the code that you are using now to make the object move?
