i have a button inside a movie clip.I want the button, when i click it, to go to a web page in a new window.I have put my script on the top layer of the main timeline, in a layer called 'controls'
Here is the script:
Code:
function openPhotomore(yourEvent:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://anarkiuk.deviantart.com/gallery/#Photograph"),"_blank");
};
photomore_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, openPhotomore);
I have given the button an instance name of 'photomore_btn', but it seems to be inside a tween aswell?When running the swf i get the error:
1120: Access of undefined property photomore_btn. How come it cant find the photomore_btn?

Can anyone explain what are advantages/disadvantages to put the button inside the movie clip vs. to put a button instance directly on the main timeline? My final goal is to have plenty of animation going on inside the button stages.

How do I move / create a button that functions inside a movie clip?I have been creating a quasi-simple website following the tutorial provided by Lynda.com. Using I have created a functional site in which the buttons work so long as they are part of the main timeline. However if I take this functional button and drop it into a movie clip I've created, it ceases to function. Drag it back out of the movie clip and it starts working again. I am sure it's an action script coding problem on my end.[code]

I am building a click through presentation that has some small text in it. To maintain the design and allow for readability, I have added a zoom feature.Here is the structure of the movie,Stage - contains pages movie clip and forward/reverse click buttons for changing pagesThere is a button at the _root level that uses a tweener to scale the pages_mc up to 170%. When this is clicked, it allows the pages to be dragged around the screen so you can look at different sections. When you click the button again, it returns the pages back to their original size stops drag.My problem is, on the pages, there are buttons with links to external sites. Once startDrag has been invoked, I cannot touch the buttons inside the movie clip. Is there a way to make these buttons work?
Code below
magUp_btn.onRelease = function() { this._visible = false; TweenLite.to(pages_mc, .25, {_x:-250, _y:-193, _xscale:170, _yscale:170}); TweenLite.to(magUp_mc, .75, {_alpha:0});

On the about page of my Flash website, I wanted 7 buttons to navigate to various labels. I just finished the first button. I made it while I was inside the about_mc. It worked well but would NOT navigate. I took the button OUT of the Movie clip and made a separate layer on the about page for buttons and pasted it there and it worked perfect. When I made it inside the mc, is there some different code I should have used other than the standard code for making a button navigate to a frame. I built an addeventlistener and a function. BUT they only worked when the button was "ON TOP" of the mc NOT when it was INSIDE the mc. I have a transition tween on the about_mc and therefore the button does not tween when it is on TOP of the mc only when it is inside the mc.
var aboutTween:Tween = new Tween(about_mc, "y", Elastic.easeOut, -200, 146, 3, true);

function onClick_goHome(event:MouseEvent): void {
this.gotoAndPlay("homesequence");

My problem is I don't know how to call buttons that are located inside the movieclip?
nav_btns is the movie clip on the main tiimeline, contact_btn is the button inside the mc
script example: nav_btns.contact_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.C LICK, btnClick);
everything is labeled correct and i still get a undefined error
but i figured it out "use the Target" in AS3

I am creating a menu system, where the links is being dynamically populated. The menu actually slides in and out of the screen from the side. The problem I am having, is that the menu that is sliding in and out, is being called onto the stage through action script from the library. Within the menu(Index_mc) there is a button with a instance name "Closed_button", where I want to tell it to slide back out.
I find it when I used the code;
_root.Index_mc.Close_button.onRelease = function () {
Tweener.addTween(_root.Index_mc, {_x:-300, time:.8, transition:"easeOutCubic"});
}
It is not registering the event on the button. Even though the index_mc loads properly and populate the menu accordingly. I have buttons on the stage where it is not within the "Index_mc" movie clip but controls the "Index_mc" moving it in and out of the stage fine. All the issues occurs when the button is nested in a movie clip.
The other issue I can forsee is that as I am dynamically generating the list of items in my menu which is not set in length depending on the xml, and how many slides there is and pushing it into an array. From there I attach movies clips of a button into the "Index_mc" in addition incrementing the the button name, giving it a unique name for the nested buttons being created (eg button1, button2, button3). My question is there a way I can register what is being clicked on in the menu? Since it is all is dynamically loaded and I wouldn't know how many buttons is being created in the menu.

Basically I have a movieclip that when I roll_over it reveals two buttons that I then need to use to remove movieclips that are on the same stage as the original movie clip. So the button inside the movieclip needs to remove a different movieclip that is also up on level.I've tried this many different ways, none seem to work. The error that I keep getting is undefined property of "grey_mc." And yes I made sure it has an instance name of grey_mc on the main stage. my code looks like:
Code:
removeButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent) {

The Button have Instance Name = boton
The Movie Clip have Instance Name = pelicula
Dynamic Text have a variable called = texto
So, I use this code in the main scene:
Code:
boton.pelicula.texto = "new text"; but don't works, I think is something with the Frame "UP".
