Actionscript and mx2004

[sle2002]

OK....I have been working in Flash for quite awhile and adding a simple actionscript was so much easier in MX vs MX 2004. I can't even figure out how to add a simple actionscript to my button.

What am I not seeing in MX 2004? In the previous versions, it pretty much walked you through adding the correct actions to make your actionscript work.

Please HELP! I feel with MX 2004, I am a stumbling idiot!

MX 2004 does not include the "easy" interface for Actionscript.

You can still select the functions from the left hand side, but you have to insert the parameters yourself. MX 2004 uses code hints so you will be given a "sample" of the correct syntax as you type. Just take a deep breath and go for it. It's really not that bad.

For your button the syntax is something like

on(release){
    //Your actions here
}

Hope it helps.


Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!
