It works, but seems fundamentally wrong, as I understood it was bad
practise
to add methods to an object dynamically. Should I make the class listen for
clicks on the nested clip or is there another solution?
There's nothing wrong with adding methods to an object dynamically. What's
slightly dodgy is 'talking to' a child or property of an object directly.
It's better OO practice for the object to be in charge of its own
properties, and to talk to it by some kind of accessor method. So you might
say
myClip.setUpButtonFunction()
and then in the timeline of myClip, have a function which says
function setUpButtonFunction() {
myChildClip.onRelease = function() { stuff };
}
It's the same thing, of course, but it's cleaner, because if you ever decide
to change the name or location of the button, you can do so without
affecting the interface with the outside world.
Is that what you were asking?
