hey,
i am working on a menu with sub menus and am using attachMovie for the first time.
i have an mc inside which there are 3 mc buttons:
butt1
butt2
butt3
the linkage name is “subnav” and export in first frame is checked.
i have an empty mc on the main stage called “subholder”
on the main stage i have these actions on a frame:
mainbutt.onPress = function(){
subholder.attachMovie("subnav", "subnav1", 5);
}
ok, so far so good. When i click mainbutt, the subnav movie is attached and everything is perfect.
here is the problem.
now i want to ad code on the main stage to get the sub buttons to do things.
so i wrote this:
subnav1.butt1.onPress = function(){
trace("clicked");
}
just to test my pathing. Well it didn’t work!
other pathing i tried:
_root.subnav1.butt1.onPress
_root.subholder.subnav1.butt1.onPress
i’m being an idiot and doing something wrong. Can anyone figure out what?
if i name the instance of the attached movie as “subnav1”, then why am i having trouble dealing with it once that mc is attached?
sure its something simple, cheers
