[resolved][MX04] How can I make an email button in a movieclip?
Hi
I've looked and tried several different things but can't seem to make a button in a movieclip that onRelease opens a new email with the email address already in the "to" section.
I have been able to make this work if the button is on the main timeline - just not when in a movie clip - even though the button appears to recognise the "over" and "down" states.
the code I put on the main timeline that works fine is
I've attached a test file.
I havn't been putting anything automatically in the subject lines but the crew that send the invites out will be more than happy if I can do that. - so thanks.
but I still can't make the button work if it's hiding in a movie clip. My guess is I need to point to the movieclip somehow but everything I try just doens't happen.
Thats because the button didn't appear til the last frame in the clip timeline. So your code is using the instance name of the button, but not the instance name of the movie clip it was in.
Thank you!
I thought I'd tried this- but as I get myself tangled up between movies, button and the root timeline. - I must have tried everything but!!!1
