coding

[Tim A. Setliff]

Hi Gang,

I am a Director programmer and do a little Flash.

I've noticed some pretty complex coding in Flash and
have searched diligently for books or web sites that
have some good code explanations but don't ever seem
to find what I am looking for.

Recently, someone told me not to put code on a button
but put it on a frame and reference the button instance.
I don't know how to do that. Anyone have any ideas
of resources and how to reference the button instance.

Thanks,

Tim

What is your flash version ?

For MX 2004 you can se directly in the macromedia`s official page !

Just go to

macromedia.com/devnet/ There is full action script reference !

First your button needs an instance name. lets say btnMyButton. Then you use
either

btnMyButton.onPress = function(){
//do whatever here
}

or

btnFunction = function(){
//do whatever
}
btnMyButton.onPress = btnFunction
