hello everyone.
I have a small problem looking for an alternative to the tellTarget command. My problem is this. I have three buttons in a menu, and a title adjacent to them. i would like a rollover of any of the buttons to cause the title to fade out, and a rollout of whichever button to cause the title to fade back in.
I attempted to use the tellTarget command to achieve this by placing the title in a movie clip. This technique will work while my code is pasted onto one of the buttons. However, if the same code is pasted onto the second or third button, the telltarget command fails.
The code i have used for the first button is this:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
this.nextFrame();
tellTarget(_root.menurollover){
nextFrame();}
} else {
this.prevFrame();
tellTarget(_root.menurollover){
prevFrame();}
}
}
the title is in the menurollover movieclip.
The hit test is used for the button animation, and I am attempting to use the same hit test to control the title fade.
As I said, this code works when pasted onto one button, but not when the same code is pasted onto the second, presumably because the tellTarget command fails when two instances are used.
if anyone could either direct me to a tutorial, or give me some sort of hint as to how to go about solving this, it would be very much appriciated.
thankyou in advance for any replies
