As a “toe in the water” exercise, I’m trying to migrate an AS2 swf to AS3. I’ve been reading lots of helpful texts but there are still some things that I’m having a problem with - here’s one of them.
I created a simple button called exit_btn and dragged it onto the stage calling it exit_btn. I added a listener:
exit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, exitSwf);
and a function:
function exitSwf(event:MouseEvent):void
{
trace(“exit button pressed”);
}
When I execute, I get a compiler error:
Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: exit_btn.
Why?
