“nightmare” is a bit dramatic… but I have a mc that onRelease invokes attachMovie as such:
mc.onRelease = function() {
_root.attachMovie(“popUp_symbol”, “popUp”, 52,
{_x: 155, _y: 575});
popUp.slide(popUp, 320, 308, 5);
};
the slide method works, but when I try to invoke events on the mc, it doesn’t worK;
popUp.onPress = function() { // this won’t work
it only works if i initially attachMovie on the timeline, and not from within the event handler. Sooo, I understand that attachMovie returns a reference to the MC placed on the stage- I’ve tried this:
mc.onRelease = function() {
var popUp_mc:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie(“popUp_symbol”, “popUp”, 52,
{_x: 155, _y: 575});
};
… and later:
popUp_mc.onPress
… but still nothing. Assigning it to a glbal variable doesn’t work either. Please help me! Thank you.
