Making a movieclip clickable once?

[The-master-tommy]

Hello. I got a question considering clickable movie clips.
Let's say that I have a movie clip that looks like a melon. When I click the melon it's squshed and then the movieclip stops.
That's fine, but how do I make the movieclip clickable only once? It's a bit wierd when the watermelon is rebuilt when clicked a second time :>

Thanks.

You need to tell us what Actionscript version you are using.

Make a variable that is initially true, then add an if statement that checks if the variable is still true when clicked, if it is then play the animation and set the variable to false.

So something like

var _root.clickable = true;
on(press){
if(_root.clickable == true){
_root.melon.play();
_root.clickable = false;
}
}

The code might not be perfect, but its the jist.

Also, don't post irrelevant pictures.

Right idea, just missed defining the variable on a load event

onClipEvent(load){
var pushed:Boolean = false;
}
on(press){
if(!this.pushed){ // If the button hasn't been pushed
this.play(); // Play!
this.pushed=true; //Tell the movieclip that it's been pushed.
}
}

Yeah, I figured it wouldn't work.

Plugged in what I had into flash after a bit of inefficient coding got it to work.

Unrelated - It also seems that you live close to me.
