Well I’ve got a bug in my code, where a button has to be double clicked to work.
Just wondering what is the standard distinction for the difference between single and double click.
my code
ActionScript Code:
[LEFT]ns.[COLOR=#0000ff]seek[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];
subtitles.[COLOR=#0000ff]\_visible[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000] **true** [/COLOR];
sign.[COLOR=#0000ff]\_visible[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000] **true** [/COLOR];
signer = [COLOR=#000080]1[/COLOR];
signCode = [COLOR=#000080]1[/COLOR];
\_root.[COLOR=#0000ff]button[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];[/LEFT]
the idea is that it runs a function only when the above button is pressed, but it doesn’t seem to work the first time you press the button any ideas?

Most likely a problem with the booleans, but it’s pretty hard to troubleseek without the code 😉

As far as usability is concerned I think double clicking on web is not a very good practice unless you communicate it to the user.
Browsing doesn’t usually involve double clicks and most of users would not even think about doing a double click.
IMO 😉
