MovieClip.onEnterFrame

Availability

Flash Player 6.

Usage

my_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
   // your statements here
}

Parameters

None.

Returns

Nothing.

Description

Event handler; invoked repeatedly at the frame rate of the SWF file. The actions associated with the enterFrame event are processed before any frame actions that are attached to the affected frames.

You must define a function that executes when the event handler is invoked. You can define the function on the Timeline or in a class file that extends the MovieClip class or is linked to a symbol in the library. For more information, see "Assigning a class to a movie clip symbol" in Using ActionScript in Flash.

Example

The following example defines a function for the onEnterFrame method that sends a trace() action to the Output panel:

my_mc.onEnterFrame = function () {
   trace ("onEnterFrame called");
};

It seems, that onEnterFrame is not invoked if the x- and y-Scaling of a Clip-Instance are not the same or if the Clip only exists for one Frame.
