Re: [Flashcoders] AS3

Thank you Cor! The buttons are MCs placed on the stage. At first they were Buttons, but when they wouldn't change even the states within the Button, so I converted them to MCs. Also, what does the , false, 0, true); do? Does it have to do with removing the listener? uhg im not going to slee

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3

Hi Karl, Hahahaha, AS3 is very much easier then AS2. But can be a little tricky to grasp when you are switching. Believe me, once you see the structure, you don't understand that AS2 has ever existed. First the Q: How do you use a button instead of a MC. There is no difference, they are b
