is it not possible to define a button’s function before the button is on the stage.
here’s the specifics of my project. i have a “home.fla”. it’s basically the holder that will load in my section .swfs. i want to have all of my actionscript defined in my “home.fla”, including the button functions.
what i’m finding is that if i define a button’s function (a button that is in the yet to be loaded .swfs) before that button has been loaded, it won’t work.
is this right? it seems odd that i can define a normal function in the first scene of an .fla and call it in later scenes, loaded .swfs, ect. but i can’t do the same for button functions.
i’m uploading a sample file where i’m defining a button function in frame 1 for a button that doesn’t appear until frame 15 and it doesn’t work unless you either move the function definition to 15, or move the button to frame 1.
i don’t get it. any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks
