Thanks

Oh cmon man …

Umm… how about you have a go at doing it yourself, ask questions if you get stuck and actually learn from the experience? That way you’ll have a far more useful transfer of knowledge, as if someone else just does the work for you then you’ll only skim the surface of learning.

I mean seriously… if you’re not prepared to put any effort in, why should someone else?

ok my question is ho can I do something like that with addChild()
_root.attachMovie(“button”,“btn”+i,_root.getNextGighestDepth());
“button” is an instance name of my movie clip which I want to use as a button in my menu.

I tried to do something like that:

var button:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(button).name = “btn”+i;
this.getchildByName(“btn”+i).y = y_position;

but I think that is creating a new MovieClip, and I want to use movieClip from library… with instance name “button”

var b:button = new button();
addChild(b);
b.y = 25;
b.alpha = .7;

thanks it’s warking I think that now I can finish my menu

krystek1987 · July 5, 2008, 2:04pm

hmm one question more. When I have
**function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void{
…
for(var i:int = 0; i<xmlList.length(); i++)
…
**

How can I load variable i in new function?

function btnOver(e:Event):void
{
this.getChildByName(“btn”+i).gotoAndPlay(2);
}

krystek1987 · July 5, 2008, 2:43pm

I’m trying to convert AS2 to AS3 code from link [top of the page] There are everything to understend “my” code

if I do:
e.target.gotoAndPlay(2);

I have error:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property gotoAndPlay not found on flash.text.TextField and there is no default value.
at FF_Navigation_Menu_2_fla::MainTimeline/btnOver()

that is my first AS code…
thanks for helping

do mouseChildren = false on your button since your textfields are sending the event atm.

krystek1987 · July 5, 2008, 3:02pm

hmm, I find something like currentTarget and I see that it’s working. Is it good :)?
But I’ll read about mouseChildren

nikefido · July 5, 2008, 3:06pm

yes, if “target” doesn’t work, using “currentTarget” is perfectly acceptable - there is a distinct difference that I have yet to get clear within my head

sekasi · July 5, 2008, 3:09pm

target is the object that flash has targeted for the event

currentTarget is the object that is being called by the listener when the event occurs.
