Hey, I’ve made an animated button in Flash CS6 / AS3. I want to use Button as the symbol type for all of the built-in behavior. I’ve created a text field that is nested within movie clips building the animation for each state. Each state (up, over, down) have their own movieclips. All of this is wrapped in the Button.
Now I’m trying to rename the text in each button instance within the menu.
btn_multiplayer.mc_navOver.mc_txtNav.txt_nav.text = "MULTIPLAYER";
txt_nav is the actual text field nested within the path above. I think this method used to work in AS2.
I’ve Googled the heck out of this and all the advice seems to generally recommend not using the Button symbol type (but then using a lot of code to get a movieclip to behave like a Button, which I don’t want).
Isn’t there a way to do this with a Button? It seems like such an obvious, rudimentary need for Buttons in Flash.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
