I’m trying to find the way to attach the same actionscript to multiple
buttons(over 100 buttons) at one time, instead of copying and pasting
the actionscript in every frame. I have over 100 buttons as a seperate object in the library. In timeline, there are 100 keyframe, that each frame contains one button. Each instance is from one button. I don’t want to write a same actionscript in for every button object. Is there anyway to get
around that?
thank you in advance,
Nu

make your button names like myButton0,myButton1,myButton2,myButton3…
and than make a for loop like:
[AS]
for(i=0;i\<100;i++){
\_root[“myButton”+i].onRelease = function(){
// YOUR ACTINSCRIPT 😉
}
}
[/AS]
