Can this be done?

[Cernunnos]

Ok. I'm creating a small Flash (game?) thing in which someone, say, runs around a place picking up various items (which would be buttons in Flash). Overlaid on top of the main stage is a small list with the names of three items. Is there any way to be able to click on an item and then have its name changed in the overlay? Like, drawn with a line through it? Any help and/or technique on how to do this (and whether or not it's possible) would be extremely helpful.

It sound s like you want a menu that checks off the items as they are found right?

you could do that with a movie clip.

like say you find an item
and you click on it.

Use


On Release
Begin Tell Target ("/menu")
Go to and Play ("framenumberofitem")
End Tell Target
End On
frame 1 has the stop action
frame 2 has either text or a picture of the item
frame 3 same thing except different item.
and so on.


the items are buttons
the menu is a movie clip.
the buttons tell the movie clip "menu"
to play the correct frame
which would create the efeect of crossing it off
or what ever creative idea you can make.
