Hi I need help, all I want to do is to create an onRelease event for the my_mc
clip which is being attached within the main_movie class.

it works for the button component but not for the mc clip... please advice

thanks

Hi,

There is no need for the EventDispatcher. You just assign the function to the relevant onRelease properties.

Code:

---

import mx.utils.Delegate;

class main_movie extends MovieClip
{
    public var pbSend:Button;
    public var my_mc:MovieClip;
    public var my_button:MovieClip;

    // constructor
    public function main_movie()
    {
        my_mc = attachMovie ("my_mc", "my_mc", getNextHighestDepth(), {_x :100, _y:50} );
        my_button = attachMovie ("my_button", "my_button", getNextHighestDepth(), {_x :100, _y:50} );
        my_button._x = 100;
    }

    // I would rather do it here...
    private function onLoad ()
    {
        my_mc.onRelease = my_button.onRelease = Delegate.create(this, checkFields);
    }

    private function checkFields():Void
    {
            trace("check");
    }
}

Thank you for your help :)
