button with three actions on fails one of them

* * *

on (rollOver) {  
setProperty ("\_root.carfurnbusmc", \_alpha, “40”);  
}  
on (rollOut) {  
setProperty ("\_root.carfurnbusmc", \_alpha, “100”);  
}  
on (release) {  
tellTarget ("\_root.infomovieclip") {  
gotoAndPlay (101);  
}  
}

* * *

A button is assigned with code above ;  
it happens sometimes the condition on release fails ; that means  
with only one click it does not cause the gotoAndPlay condition but  
the two setProperty conditions works perfectly ;  
I think too many actions on a button is not healthy ;  
Is there a way to improve the code to perform safely the same actions ??

</div>

try

on(release){  
\_root.infomovieclip.gotoAndPlay(101)  
}

and make sure that you are actually releasing the mouse when you are on top of the button. You may want to add

on(releaseOutside){  
\_root.infomovieclip.gotoAndPlay(101)  
}

just incase the user is not completely on the button when they release the mouse.

Or to have less code you can use a comma to seperate 2 actions that you want to do the same thing… like this…

on(release, releaseOutside){  
\_root.infomovieclip.gotoAndPlay(101)  
}
