Flash 8 Button Help Please!!

[crayola86]

Hello,

I am creating a pop up dialog box within a movie clip which is activated by a button. I have managed to get the pop up box to open when the button is clicked. But after I close the pop up box and attempt to click the button again the pop up box does not re appear. In other words the button only works once. I have made sure both my button and mc have instance names, so I dont know where I am going wrong.

The code attached to the button is as follows:

on (release) {
castle_btn.loadMovie("popup_mc");
}


and the close button code within the movie clip is:

on (release) {
unloadMovie(this);
}

Both of these codes are working successfully, I am just wondering if anyone could enlighten me as to how I can refresh/reload the button so it works again

Thanks in advance : )

What you're doing is unloading, in fact removing the movie clip from the stage. It cannot thus be made visible again, since it's no longer there...

Make it invisible instead...

on (release) {
//unloadMovie(this);
this._visible = false;
}

Oh and the other code on the castle_btn itself is useless...

on (release) {
//castle_btn.loadMovie("popup_mc");
}

It's this code that makes it visible...

_root.popup_mc._visible= false;
_root.castle_btn.onRelease = function()
{
_root.popup_mc._visible= true;
}
