Re: FLASH: F5:Two Buttons

[Gregg Caines]

You could put your buttons in movieclips, and use hittest

to see when the cursor is over a button.  If you detect when

a click occurs, and you know the mouse is over a button,

then you've essentially detected a click on that button.


This is a bit of a workaround, but it should work!

with the mouse at all time.  Whenever the button is pressed it causes a

ripple mask effect to go across the screen using the attachMovie method.

This needs to sit on the top most layer to cause a ripple effect on the main

movie timeline.  My problem is that I also have other buttons on the screen

that activate navigation to other parts of the site and when I am using the

ripple button the other buttons do not work.  I tried putting the ripple

button on a lower layer and setting a higher level for the ripple movie clip

attachment, but the ripple still runs behind the main movie.  Is there a way

to work around this?  Is there a way to set two button operations at the

same time?
