Hi, Im very new to flash and actionscript and I need some help with a simple problem.
I have a very simple flash atm. It had a background just a bunch of lines squares et.c. and I have a button. Now Ive rightclicked and checked its properties, and it is a button, it has a name, and I have checked the checkbox for “Export for ActionScript” (dont have english version but should be called something similar).
I just want something to happen when I click the button, I dont want to change the “Over”,“Down” or “Hit” thing, I want a actionscript to just type out a word or later what I really want is that it should jump to the next frame. So what ive found was that I could use eventlisterners to make this happen, now Im familiar with Java programming so there are alot of similaries.
myButton.addEventListener(
MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
function(evt:MouseEvent):void {
trace(“I’ve been clicked!”);
}
);
Now I get an error 1120: Access of undefined property myButton, at this point I dont know what do I have to add? Do I need to add some variable for my button? do I have to import some things?
Ive been searching the internet for some time now and can’t find any tips for a total beginer. I tried to add
import flash.display.Sprite;
var myButton:SimpleButton = new SimpleButton();
but Im not sure if this is the right way, it feels like this would make a new button called myButton that I could then define in diffrent ways, but I want to use the button that I have already made in Flash, so how do I make that connection?
Thanks for your help.
