Button inside movie... movie is on main timeline

1

Hey all, I have this question that a lot of people have asked, but I never found an answer to this question.

I have a button, and that button is inside a movie clip, and this movie clip is on my main timeline. How can I reach the button?

Thanks and kind regards…

That would be the path to that button.

“myMC” would be the instance name of the movieclip containing your button and “myButton” would be the instance name of your button.

Yes, I could use that together with an ‘on event’ handler… But the problem is, that my buttons are IN my movie, and I can’t see the buttons. Anyone else has some good advice?

make sure the movie that contains the buttons is the same dimension in pixels as the main movie maybe thats why you cannot see your buttons :wink:
