Hi there,
i am trying to put together a portfolio site, which uses a ‘floating’ panel with buttons on it. In order for it to move around it has to be a movieclip. So all the buttons are stored within a single movieclip, which is giving me a headache because i want those buttons to load other movieclips from my library onto the main stage (as like a popup window within the flash)
Its all slightly confusing. i have tried using this code based within the movieclip where my button is based:
[FONT=“Courier New”]button_play.buttonMode = true;
button_play.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, OpenBox);
function OpenBox (e:MouseEvent):void{
this.addChild(new mc_box());
}[/FONT]
button play is within a movieclip called mcTweenMe2 (which is on the main timeline) and i want the movieclip to be loaded on the main timeline (not within in the movieclip where the button ‘button_play’ is based) mc_box is the movieclip i wish to load on the main timeline (in the centre) with the ability to close it also!
Bit of a headache, please help me someone i have run out of sites to look for answers!
PS: does anyone know why stop (); wont stop my timeline playing like it used to in AS2? beacause another option for making my site work is making this button target labeled frames in the main timeline, however stop (); don’t seem to work now!
Thanks!
