Program help!

Okay I'm writting this function.

function barAlpha(){
if(_root.bar.pink._alpha<=100){
_root.bar.pink._alpha = +5
}else if(_root.bar.pink._alpha >=100){
_root.bar.pink._alpha =100;
}

}

I want it to repeat it until it reaches 100 hundred but it's not
doing this what am i messing. Man it's been awhile since I acutally
had to do this myself.

yes I need it to repeat within the function and not with the press of a button.

I'm sure it's just an easy thing I'm missing but any help would be greatful.

_root.bar.pink._alpha = ++5

??

it's something to do with this line.
but it's been ages since i've looked at c/c++

If you want it to repeat, you need to use a loop.

 

[stir-fry]

LOL i didn't notice that bit either.. now i feel dumb.

you need a For loop in there.

Theres no loop.

Its only going to run through once/

And I'm pretty sure the syntax for adding 5 to a variable is:

variablename += 5;

 

[Stan]

If he wants to "repeat it until it reaches 100" he's gonna need a loop.

 

[Stan]

No wait, he said he needs it to repeat until it reaches 100 hundred, which is actually 10,000.

Yeah thats right.

Plus I solved my problem.
I'm using Mx2004 so I just put it into a movieclip and an onClipEvent(EnterFrame){
loop solved my problem.
}
