I would like to have a button that on press will be able to drag and on release will stop drag. I have this done. What im trying to figure out is how to make the same button load a movie clip if you double click it.
Thanks for the help!!

Here’s the code for double click that is on [Actionscripts.org](http://www.actionscript.org/actionscripts_library/main/search.cgi?query=double+click&submit=SEARCH) , I think it has exactly what your looking for.

movieclip.prototype.doubleClick = function(speed) {
if ( getTimer()-oldTime \<= speed ) return(true);
oldTime=getTimer();
clickcount=0;
}
movieclip.prototype.tast = function () {
if(getTimer()-timestamp\>=250 && clickcount==1){
trace(“singleclick”);
ausgabe = “Singleclick”;
clickcount=0;
}
}
setInterval(tast, 10);
Button.prototype.onPress = function() {
if(doubleClick(250)) {
trace(“Doppelklick”);
ausgabe = “Doppelklick”;
};
clickcount++;
timestamp=getTimer();
}
hope that helps,
-Dave

Ok, im a bit confused on what I need to do with the AS. Should the AS listed above attached to my button or just in the layer?

I attached a simple .fla to this post. Hopefully this will help you out. I also translated some of the German in there (even though there wasn’t much) to english so you can hopefully better understand what each thing does.
