Indeed!

Thanks - suprised I missed it I frequent Kirupa.com a lot in my travels for Flash knowledge...

Question, Im trying to use this to have 'buttons' that contain action script like

on( press )
{
	mcImage.loadMovie( txtImageURL.text );	
}

or

on (rollOver) {
	
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 2);
loadMovie("image1.jpg", "container");
container._x = 150;
container._y = 150;
}

on (rollOut) {
unloadMovie("container")	
}

... but I cant get the image to load... what am I missing?

Thanks for the link to the tutorial!

try

mybtn.onRollOver = function(){
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 2);
_root.container.loadMovie("image1.jpg")
_root.container._x = 150;
_root.container._y = 150;
}
code on main timeline (not on button) and button with instance name mybtn

if that dont work check the path to the image is correct and that the jpg is not progressive

I must be dreaming!

 

[aamaker]

I get this error... what should I nest the mybtn.onrollover function within?


heres the error I get:

Symbol=clip instance 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 2: Statement must appear within on handler
mybtn.onRollOver = function() {

Thanks!

 

[billwatson]

where are you putting the code .....must be on main timeline

 

[oldnewbie]

Must be a nightmare!

 

[aamaker]

yep its on the main timeline but based on the error it appears (with my limited action script knowledge) that it needs to be within some on command of some type...

Take a look at my file - tell me what Im doing wrong... I was able get yours to work and added onrollOut function to make the image dissappear as well... but my movie still doesnt work using the same code.

note: buttons are named btn1, btn2, etc... btn1 is the one Im using in my efforts to get this to work though.
