RE: FLASH: Targetting a movie clip inside a button

[Len Harrison]

Hi John,


Really appreciate your input and help. Actually I'm doing something like

this, but I still have the N baseline buttons. Just seemed easier. They go

inside a clip with -(3-N) labels and are instantiated in each label segment

as N buttons, N-1 buttons, etc. down to 3 buttons. The label segment enabled

is driven by a control clip one level down which also handles the actions on

the buttons. Coming out of the top level buttons, I've got two levels of

tree control in which the labels *are* handled through movie clips. Button

code for these is also handled indirectly through control clips. All text is

referenced back to a set of txt symbols so our localization crew can

translate as needed. All visuals are referenced back to a set of atomic

symbols. Change those to change the look without touching the object itself.

Object is drag and drop pluggable. You just code the control clip. Seems to

work.


thanks again,
