Thank you Craig, wonderful tutorial. Helped me fix a few buttons on my upcoming site that were getting stuck. The actionscript is simple and effective.

Hello
Great writeup, very helpful.

I have a question, hopefully you can help me with it.
I have a button within a movie clip. Well say home_btn. the clip is menu_mc. What is the proper way to assign an onRelease event to it? Currently I have

menu_mc.home_btn.onRelease = function() {
loadmovie(”test.swf”);
}

This isn’t working at all, care to shed some light?

Thanks.

Hello great tutorial!
I have a small problem though — im using actionscript 2 and the following line pops out an error when i run the script:

function onButtonOver(e:MouseEvent):void

Any ideas on how i could convert that to work with actionscript 2? thanks

Sooo…still new to all this. If I wanted to have each of these buttons link to a different web page within a web site, how do I tell it to do that?

i think what red_raider says not make any sense, doesnt work like that, you need to create another function inside de same code, function who make an action when you click the button…

Two minutes later, I figured out a way to fix my problem. I converted an upper layer object into a movie clip. Gave it an instance name. Added an event listener for mouse over and pointed it to a function that doesn’t do anything.

Although this works fine, it doesn’t seem to the best solution. There is probably a property that I’m missing.
