Hi,
I have three movie clips that I am using as buttons.
Their instances in the movie are Espanol_btn, Francais_btn and Deutsch_btn.
I have added script to control the rollover and press/release states of the buttons, and now need to get the script to recognise which of the three buttons was pressed, store that result in the variable called [COLOR=Blue]lang [COLOR=Black](The posibilities are Espanol, Francais or Deutsch), and depending on what the variable [COLOR=Blue]land [/COLOR]is, do different things. The script is below.
Hopefully to some code wizard out there it will be decipherable as to what’s going on and how I can get this to work.
I thank you in advance for any help given.
Peace
