You need to reduce all folds to one function first, before any "playing animation" stuff because the animation sequences need to be send a sequence of x,y coordinates to the fold function, and you don't want your sequence-playing function to have to deal conditionally with four fold functions --Nad 10:26, 9 Dec 2006 (NZDT)

You can't just do a for loop around the drawing routine, you need to make the fold-function work wrt to passed coords instead of mouse, then make your mouse-events and per-frame animation functions call the fold function --Nad 10:30, 9 Dec 2006 (NZDT)

OK this stripped-down test code works fine in Flash with reduce() in Frame 2 and gotoAndPlay(2) in frame 3, :). But where do I put the reduce() function in the Wiki to make it animate? Jack 02:07, 20 Dec 2006 (NZST)

You put the reduce function definition in the first (and only) frame along with the others, it will be called at runtime from frame2 every frame

Yep this works fine now as a test, i'll just get it to reset i after all its iterations. Onwards and upwards :) Jack 03:13, 20 Dec 2006 (NZST)

Oh yeah that's a good reason to decrement instead of increment - so that it ends up at zero so it can stop, and also means it auto-resets --Nad 03:21, 20 Dec 2006 (NZST)

This won't actually compile on the wiki, I know not why, but it compiles in Flash ... Jack 06:44, 24 Dec 2006 (NZST)

Yep -- Jack 07:00, 24 Dec 2006 (NZST)

Another problem with the current setup is that the calculate function needs to stay in with the main function because it behaves slightly differently - you should just do the work as described with the diffs in SWF e-book, this other way you're going will need to be backtracked...

I made the calculate function seperate because it suited my purposes at the time but I see your point, I'll work on it l8r.

• happy hanukah!

It seems I need to reassign (1,-1) the variables like x, w, h etc before the draw, because the draw refers to the sign that existed before the calculation, but has changed since. Anyway I'm working on the parameter end.

The only variables with 1 and -1 were tx,ty - I've put the plan in SWF e-book so maybe refine the plan there first and then do the code when you know exactly what's got to be done --Nad 20:24, 24 Dec 2006 (NZST)

Todo (for pageturn):

• signs in calculation;
• x = za - zb;
• iterate down to zero then: if x > 0;
• centre oy
