I have a button with instance name “MC1”.
When you press the button i want it to display the text “[www.google.com](http://www.google.com)” into a text box.
Then when you click on it. It will take u to [google.com](http://google.com)
The idea is that then i can have many buttons with different URL’s attatched to them. So user clicks button1 and it displays the URL for that button…
I have an idea that first you set the variable to be [google.com](http://google.com)
on the button, then onPress you load it to the dyn textbox.
But not too sure how to do this.
ANyone?:cowboy:

You wanted to get the button pressed twice right ?
I’m not sure if you use Flash MX or Flash 5, but I’ll be explaining for Flash MX since I haven’t got any experience in Flash 5.
Ok, so the code for your button should be:
[AS]
on (release){
url = “[http://www.google.com](http://www.google.com)”;
if (\_root.path.dynamictextbox == url){
getURL(url);
} else {
\_root.path.dynamictextbox = url;
}
}
[/AS]
It would be something like this I guess. I couldn’t test it 'cause I aun’t got Flash on this pc so there might be an error in it. Anyway, it’s worth a try 🙂
