Hi all, im new to kirupa and new to actionscript - “Hi”
im attempting to build my first site in flash, and it was all going ok till i decided to get clever!
I did have snippets of a.s everywhere, but have been trying to move it all back to frame1 on the main timeline (issat best practice?)
the problem im having is that a simple piece of code on a nav button just wont work.
when the code was within the same movie as the button it was easy:
btnWelcome.onRelease = function(){
trace (“clicked”)
}
this works fine. however, when i move the code down 2 levels to the main timeline i put in this:
_root.mcActionIntro.mcWelcome.btnWelcome.onRelease = function(){
trace (“heelp me!”)
}
it just wont work - ive tried moving the code up one level - into mcActionIntro and it works (with shorter target path of course - mcWelcome.btnWelcome.)…
Ive tried using the targeting tool thingy to target it and it confirms my path as being correct…
what the hell am i missing??
pleeeeease tell me where im getting it wrong? ta.
