With() statement and function literals

1

Hello everybody,

So this is the setup:

I have a flash movie with a button that is attached with attachMovie(). The button is my_btn. I use a with() statement to set it’s properties:


attachMovie("my_btn", "my_btn", 0);
with(my_btn) {
     _x = 50;
     _y = 50;
     onRelease = function () {
          trace("Hello from my_btn.");
     }
}

The x and y properties are fine, but the onRelease function does not work. Does somebody know a solution for this?

My solution was to not use the with() statement at all, but I’d be interested in knowing if it’s possible to declare function literals using a with() statement.

Thanks!
Mike M.
