How could I say "when" in ActionScript 3? - actionscript-3

Question

I am learning ActionScript 3 rigth now and I have this code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouse_move);
function mouse_move(event:MouseEvent): void
{
ourMirilla.x = mouseX * 1.85;
ourMirilla.y = mouseY * 2 - 1244.25;
I would like to add something like this:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouse_move);
function mouse_move(event:MouseEvent): void
{
ourMirilla.x = mouseX * 1.85 WHEN MOUSEx IS (>35,<55);
ourMirilla.y = mouseY * 2 - 1244.25 WHEN MOUSEy IS (>35,<55);
How could I express that in ActionScript 3?

Answer 1

if and when are synonymous in this situation, so:
function mouse_move(event:MouseEvent):void
{
if(mouseX > 35 && mouseX < 55)
{
ourMirilla.x = mouseX * 1.85;
}
if(mouseY > 35 && mouseY < 55)
{
ourMirilla.y = mouseY * 2 - 1244.25;
}
}

If statement
The if statement asks a question. The associated code is executed only if the answer to that question is true. To write an if statement, start with if, followed by a set of parentheses around the conditional test you want to evaluate. Then use curly brackets to denote the code block you want to run if the condition is true.
if (ourMirilla.x > 10) {ourMirilla.alpha = 0.5);}
The operators
Conditional expressions frequently use the equality and comparison operators: == , !=, < , <= , > , >= . You can also use the logical operators: && (logical AND) and || (logical OR).
See ActionScript 3 fundamentals: Operators for more information.
Your code
function mouse_move(e:MouseEvent):void
{
if (e.stageX > 35 && e.stageX < 55) {ourMirilla.x = e.stageX * 1.85;}
if (e.stageY > 35 && e.stageY < 55) {ourMirilla.y = e.stageY * 2 - 1244.25;}
}

Answer 3

Add an if statement inside your function like this
function ....
if (MOUSEx IS (>35,<55))
do something ...
I am not familiar with language syntax, but this is the way how to add your When statement :)
