Nesting movie clips may be causing error??

NIA2 · Feb 23, 2007

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to attach a movieclip ("webText_mc") to a scrollpane component. I've used the following code:

webBase_mc.webBaseInner_mc.webScrollPane.contentPath = "webText_mc";
webBase_mc.webBaseInner_mc.webScrollPane.setStyle("borderStyle", "none");

Using this code, and with the component called "webScrollPane" it's not working, but if the scrollpane is only one level deep within the "webBase_mc" clip, ie. I take it out of the "webBaseInner_mc" it works. The problem is that I need it inside the webBaseInner mc b/c I'm planning to animate this clip later on.

I get the following error when testing:

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=actions, frame=1:Line 9: Function name expected
webBase_mc.webBaseInner_mc.btnWebServices_mc.onRelease = function {

**Error** Symbol=webBaseInner_mc, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 17: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler
q

Total ActionScript Errors: 2 Reported Errors: 2

Can someone tell me what I might be doing wrong? I've uploaded the file here if the .fla is needed to help troubleshoot:

Appreciate any help.

You're missing () after function, in the following line...

Code:

webBase_mc.webBaseInner_mc.btnWebServices_mc.onRelease = function() {
	webMonitor_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
	webBase_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
}

And you have a typo "q" that shouldn't be there, on the first frame of your webScrollPane ScrollPane.
