I’ve been trying to convert some flash 5 code to MX but have failed in getting it to work in MX. I’ve been on trying to convert the sticky button code from mjau-mjau but with no success.

You can download from

[http://www.mjau-mjau.com](http://www.mjau-mjau.com)  
[http://www.sintax321.com/sticky.zip](http://www.sintax321.com/sticky.zip)

If some one could please convert this code to work in MX it would be greatly apprecitated.

</div>

the only thing I can suggest is changing the variable number to nNumber or something else because it could cause a conflict. Also wherever you have Movieclip change it to MovieClip with a Capital C.

Ya i thought it looked good to. I changed the Number and the MovieClip thing and still it does nothing. I can’t notice muc hthat would cause it not to work. I was hoping a code monkey like LIB or POM would take a look at it but they are no where to be found so far. I’ll keep looking to. thanks for trying so far.🙂

Yeah, it doesn’t work for me either, but all the coding looks A OK in my book.

Hmm, interesting.

</div>

it may have something to do with using all of those \_parent and such. I’m sure the problem is that one single thing is being called incorrectly and that caused everything not to work…

Im trying buddy, but I just don’t see whats wrong. Perhaps its something right in front of me, but all of the syntax, addressing, and coding look correct to me, I dont understand why it won’t work.
