programatically placed button

[sebbjo]

I want to turn a button invisible when its pressed. I think this will only work if the button is placed programmatically. How can I place a button programmatically (do I need to use a mc button to achieve this?)?
(The reason for doing this is that I want another button to take the place of the original button when it's pressed)

Can anyone help me out

Hi...
Instead of using buttons......
have a movieclip... (instance name ...mc)...containing 2 movieclips(acting as buttons)...one on frame 1...other on frame 2...
then put this on first movieclip

code:

---

on (press) {

	_parent._parent.mc.gotoAndStop(2);

}

---

then this on the other..

code:

---

on (press) {

	_parent._parent.mc.gotoAndStop(1);

}

---

this basic fla. demonstrates this happening...
actions are on the other movieclips(acting as buttons)
inside the main mc .....

Thanks for the fla its exactly what I was looking for!

Can anyone help me out with a followup issue:
When I now press the info button I want my infoTxt_mc to be loaded in on top of the project content similar to the link I pasted above. I have tried this by setting the visibility on and off and also by attaching the mc to a loader_mc when info btn is pressed but cant get this to work. What's a good way to set this up?
