Can you put 2 traces to see if you can trace anything. If you get
undefined for any one of them, your buttons will not work for sure. This
is just a test to check the existence of the object:
trace("l1_mc: " + l1_mc);
trace("l1_mc.product_btn: " + l1_mc.product_btn);
this.l1_mc.product_btn.onPress = function():Void {
....
}
trace("l2Product_mc: " + l2Product_mc);
trace("l2Product_mc.mens_btn: " + l2Product_mc.mens_btn);
this.l2Product_mc.mens_btn.onPress = function():Void {
....
}
Cheers!!!

Subject: [Flashcoders] targets driving me insane
Hi there - I am about to go crazy here.... I am trying to target a
button in a dynamic MC (attached from the Library). Each movie clip in
the library already has the required buttons with an instance name.
I have a MC on my main timeline called "menu_mc".
Now in the timeline of "menu_mc" I have the following code:
//l2
this.l1_mc.product_btn.onPress = function():Void {
_parent.menu_mc.attachMovie("level2McProduct", "l2Product_mc",
12);
_parent.menu_mc.l2Product_mc._x = 73.7;
new Tween(_parent.menu_mc.l2Product_mc, "_alpha",
Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, 3, true);
new Tween(_parent.menu_mc.l2Product_mc, "_y", Strong.easeOut,
106, 0, 1, true); }; //l3 this.l2Product_mc.mens_btn.onPress =
function():Void {
trace(_parent);
_parent.menu_mc.attachMovie("level3McMens", "l3Mens_mc", 13);
_parent.menu_mc.l3Mens_mc._x = 189.5;
new Tween(_parent.menu_mc.l3Mens_mc, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut,
0, 100, 3, true);
new Tween(_parent.menu_mc.l3Mens_mc, "_y", Strong.easeOut, 106,
0, 1, true); };
the "l1_mc" was created with attachMovie earlier in the code, but is
trimmed from here to save room (it functions as it should). The
following:
this.l1_mc.product_btn.onPress = function():Void
also works as it should. Now the results of that are another MC attached
to the timeline of the "menu_mc" instance. This all works, and my
tweens, etc all work as expected. Now for some reason when I drill down
one level deeper:
this.l2Product_mc.mens_btn.onPress = function():Void
the code stops working. I stuck a "trace" in there to see if the button
event was even responding. Which it is not! I double, triple checked the
button instance name and the so on... but it just never works. As you
can see I had modified my path to use the previously attached MC. I even
tried putting in the moviclip by hand and browsed to find the path (to
make sure I had no mistakes)- and it appears I do not.
I am at wits end here and going insane. Does anyone have any
suggestions? Am I missing something? Is there a limitation in flash that
I do not know about?
