The "this.l2Product_mc.mens_btn.onPress = function():Void " button does not even show up on the stage (to be pushed) until "l2Product_mc" is created by a previous button event. ( this.l1_mc.product_btn.onPress = function ():Void).
Am I missing something? The method used worked fine for the first two levels, but it was on hte 3rd level in that it stopped working.... :::::::::::::::::::::: Dustin :::::::::::::::::::::: ---------- Original Message ----------- From: "Liu, Kai M" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Flashcoders mailing list" <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, 26 Oct 2005 13:28:30 +1000 Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] targets driving me insane > Just go through your code again and identified the problem.
