AS3 - Movieclip linkage question

1

In my library I have a movieclip that is linked to my AS3 custom class TweenButton. On the movieclip there is a textfield. I would like to be able to set the .text property of the textfield through TweenButton’s constructor, which must be so simple, but I haven’t been able to make it work. If someone could please explain it all to me slow and easy, I would be most gratefull. :slight_smile: Here’s the code and source files:


package
{
    import flash.display.*;
    import TweenButton;
    
    public class Base extends MovieClip {
        
        private var __myFirstButton:TweenButton;
        private var __mySecondButton:TweenButton;
        private var __myThirdButton:TweenButton;
        private var __myFourthButton:TweenButton;
        
        public function Base() {
            var myFirstButton:TweenButton = new TweenButton(150, 150);
            __myFirstButton = myFirstButton;

            
            var mySecondButton:TweenButton = new TweenButton(150, 190);
            __mySecondButton = mySecondButton;
    
            
            var myThirdButton:TweenButton = new TweenButton(150, 230);
            __myThirdButton = myThirdButton;
        
            
            var myFourthButton:TweenButton = new TweenButton(150, 270);
            __myFourthButton = myFourthButton;
    

            addChild(myFirstButton);
            addChild(mySecondButton);
            addChild(myThirdButton);
            addChild(myFourthButton);
        }
    }
}



package
{
    import flash.display.*;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import flash.events.*
    
    public class TweenButton extends MovieClip {
        
        private var __over:Boolean;

        public function TweenButton(posX:Number, posY:Number) {
            
            this.x = posX;
            this.y = posY;
            
            __over = new Boolean();
            __over = undefined;
            
            this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,overHandler);
            this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,outHandler);
            }
        
        public function overHandler(e:MouseEvent):void {
            __over = true;
            this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,playForwards);
            }
        
        public function outHandler(e:MouseEvent):void {
            __over = false;
            this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,playBackwards);
            }
                    
        public function playForwards(e:Event):void {
            if(__over == true){
                this.nextFrame();
                }
            }
        
        public function playBackwards(e:Event):void {
            if(__over == false){
                this.prevFrame();
            
                }
        }
    }
}
