Initializing values in an expression/ Counter Incrementing
Hey Everybody!
I’m trying to run a counter in an expression. I need to initialize the variable so that if the counter hasn’t incremented it on a previous frame the variable is created with value 0. If the counter has already been incremented, I just want to leave the value as is.Does this code look right to you guys?
if (peakCounter = null)
{
peakCounter = 0;
}Thanks!

I think you’re assuming that expression values can persist from frame to frame, which is not the case. I’m afraid there’s no way for an expression to communicate with itself from one frame to the next. There is probably a work-around though, depending on what you’re trying to do.

Yeah I was afraid of that. I’ve been racking my head, trying to come up with a workaround but so far to no avail. I usually code in Flash/AS3 so I was assuming too much (or too little).
If anyone comes up with a workaround, I’d love to hear it. I’m trying to run a counter based off the current (time) property but the counter needs to be resettable- that’s the rub.
Thanks

What initiates the reset?
