I have three movieclip "buttons" within a couple of nested movieclips and I am unsure how to address them in actionscript. I have an event listener and a function for the rollover and rollout mouseEvents below
procedures_mc.p_dropdown_mc.p_body_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL _OVER, cursorOverButton);
procedures_mc.p_dropdown_mc.p_breasts_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.R OLL_OVER, cursorOverButton);
procedures_mc.p_dropdown_mc.p_face_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL _OVER, cursorOverButton);
function cursorOverButton(e:MouseEvent):void{e.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("over");
e.currentTarget.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, cursorOutButton);}
function cursorOutButton(e:MouseEvent):void{e.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("out");}
Within the movieclip buttons are labels over and out included in the buttons. When I rollover and rollout the mouse over the movieclip buttons they don't behave correctly. I am wondering if the e.currentTarget inside the function is the right address of the nested movieclip buttons procedures_mc.p_dropdown_mc.p_body_mc, etc.

I created a button in one movie. I nested a second movie that is the same size as the first movie. In the second movie I can successfully hide an object in the first movie with an object in the second movie. However, I can't prevent a button in the first movie from being shown in the second movie.

I'm trying to organize a presentation using several movieclips as "scenes." The problem I have is related to buttons nestedwithin those mc's--I would like them not to be available until eachindividual mc begins, but if I don't include the buttons on thefirst frame of the mc timeline, the main timeline cannot accessthem (and throws me an error)

I have a FLA named Window.fla containing a movieclip that contains several other MCs, one of which has the instance name btnContact. This 'parent' MC is in the Library: it's called MainNav and its linkage is set to export, with its class pointed at com.utils.MainNav, the code for which is:
package com.utils {

I'm having a hard time understanding to use the Delegate class. I don't seem to understand what it does from what I read online.
Will it work for this situation? I want to rollover a menu that expands onRollover. You can then click on buttons within the rolled over portion. Is delegate for me?

I have two scenes on my flash file viz., Scene 1 and Scene 2.
I have created one nested button i.e., button inside the movieClip and one normal button as in the following code.
ActionScript Code:
jan_btn.onPress = function() {
gotoAndStop("Scene 2", 1);
}
[Code]....
The problem is the first button jan_btn works and it goes to Scene 2 when it is clicked. But the second nested one i.e., button inside the scroll_mc movieClip is not working.
I have kept jan to dec buttons inside scroll_mc movieclip (it will scroll) and kept on stage.
Why nested button i.e., button inside movie clip is not going to Scene 2 when it is clicked?

I have a straight forward flash document where the play head plays from start to finish. The client wants a way to stop and start the animation if time is needed to discuss what is happening on screen. Simple buttons can easily do this if those buttons are not nested.
Code:
stopBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onStopClick, false, 0, true);
playBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onPlayClick, false, 0, true);
stopBtn.buttonMode = true;
[Code]....
However, if I make a mouse over pop up movie clip button and place those button inside it, they do not work. I can not find the piece of code that will link these nested buttons back to the main time line.

The garage door has a chevrolet logo on it that is pulsating. I know how to make buttons but I need the garage door to become a button that when clicked the animation plays rather than it playing automatically.The top of the tool chest will be a button that plays the animation in reverse and the drawers are buttons that open to an email form for each. But I don't know how to target these buttons because they are nested two levels below the main timeline.

All the movieclips are nested with the actionscript saved in a seperate file so the stage is empty. As I am new to as3 I don't know how to add buttons to which will then open other nested movieclips. I have looked at various tutorials but none cover exactly this issue.Otherwise if someone could maybe create a mc button and movieclip and add it to this file along with the relevant actionscript that would be really appreciated as I would have an example to refer to.

Basically I am trying to get buttons that I have in a drop down menu load an external .swf into an empty movie clip placed on the main timeline. However for some reason it is not working. The buttons are contained in a movie called "menuItems" which is then placed in a movieclip called "mainMenu" which is then placed on the main timeline.
on (release) {
_parent.gotoAndPlay("reverse");
if (_root._root._root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root._root._root.currMovie = "personalData";

i'm have a MC that is a nav bar with nested buttons. The buttons themselves are calling on a dynamic text field on my main timeline but I'm unable to have any code from the nested buttons to WORK. I'll include my FLA so you can see what i'm trying to do. I
in jist.have a MC that is a nav bar. It houses buttons. The buttons inside the MC do not respond to code ony the _root timeline or code defined specifically to them. What I am trying to achieve is the nested buttons calling on my dynamic text field and loading outside .txt files.I manipulate the buttons on the main timeline and get the effects i'm looking for but not inside of the MC.

I usually use this code to navigate the timeline from buttons:
function onProdAClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {gotoAndPlay("prod1"); } prodA_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onProdAClick);
How would I code navigation if the button is nested in two MC's? I've been using the code below. It works fine for one button but once I try to code the second button (which is on the same frame and in the same MC's) it gives me this error: 1151: A conflict exists with definition _root in namespace internal. Warning: 3596: Duplicate variable definition.

On the stage I have 3 objects on the stage which are on top of each other:
top: transparent button (which controls the mc underneath)
under this button: an image which is a mc
under this image: a graphic background with text that describes the image, and a new trans button which will send the users to a separate url.
Problem:The button to go to the url does not work.
To make things simply, I have the top button setting the alpha of the mc to 0% onRollover, in order to view the text. And reset it to 100% on RollOut.
how I can still get this effect with the rollovers, and get my url button to work too?

I have a nested movieclip that I need to control.I have searched the net and to this point I have been able to make it gotoAndStop at frame 1 and play().I can't make it stop.I understand that actionscript can be attached to the movieclip instance or placed on the root timeline.what I would like is direction to websites and or tutorials that might teach me how to control a nested movieclip.

I'm trying to build a styled, rounded button movieclip that I can reuse/resize. So inside a movieclip, I have two layers:
Layer 1: A border, which is a shape - a rounded rectangle (or actually the stroke of a rounded-rect).
Layer 2: A nested movieclip which contains a shape for the face of the button. I have added filters to this nested movieclip to give it a beveled-type look - typical rounded button stuff.
So, I've tried applying scale-9 to the parent movieclip: in this case the border scales fine, but the face (with the filters) does not. So, then I tried applying scale-9 to both the parent and the nested face movieclip,I want to be able have the button self contained as a clip which I can pull from the library, drop on the stage, and scale without distortion - and so far, as mentioned,I can't figure out how the get the nested face, the one with the filters applied, to scale appropriately.

I'm having a problem trying to get some nested movie clips to play. I have three movie clips on three different layers all on frame one of the parent layer. each layer has a labIe (well just call it "layer1", "layer2. "layer3") I have a stop command on the parent level (on its own layer). each of the three movie clips has its own animation (the nested animation). The lower two have a stop command in their first frame(nested) so they wont play. Only the top movieclip would play on run. I want to place a gotoandplay command in the nested timeline of the above movie, that will start to play the next lower movie clip nested timeline, as the above one is ending, and repeat this process to cylce back around to the top movieclip. The overall goal is to have one animation move into the other using nested timeline smoothly.

I have a main swf that loads an external swf (WNC.swf). The external swf (WNC.swf) contains a scrollPane that loads another external swf (WNC_DATA.swf). I'm trying to target the WNC_DATA.swf from the main swf, so I can tell it to go to frame (2). The following code targets the first child swf (WNC.swf), however I'm unable to target WNC_DATA.swf inside the scrollPane.

If -- draggable -- moivieClip_A is created, and then moivieCLip_B is created as a child of movieClip_A, (when movieClip_A is dragged onPress, movieClip_B simultaneously moves with it), is it possible to change a property of movieClip_B with a mouse event? Seems as though movieClip_A's layer position / mouse events are blocking mouse events for movieClip_B.
