ok, im just sorta teaching myself as3, so i thought I would make a kind of button template.

The Idea is constantly changing, but at the moment it follows the premise that I would like to easily change it for future use. Considering this i have all variables relating to aesthetics listed in the class that is attached to the timeline, and then I made a second class where all the work is done, and acts sort of like a template that builds the button based off of the information that is passed to it.

im bad at explaining things, so its best you just take a peak at my code.

so here is my current compiler error(s)…(expect many after this)

C:\Users\knome\Desktop\menu\ButtonConstructors\GradientGlowtext.as, Line 17 1120: Access of undefined property button.

* * *

## Line4) import flash.display.MovieClip; Line16) private var button:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); Line17) button.x = 0;

most of the other errors are similar to this.

full code is attached. and please keep in mind that the primary purpose of this is to teach me as3, as i am a noobie noob noob, so dooing the work for me is no good. but explanations i like very much, yes i do.

thanks in advance!
