Converting button code...

[rx3mer]

Hello,

I have made few simple websites with as2 and this is the function I used for the buttons so it goes and shows the animation for each page. Now I want to use the same function on AS3 but is not working. Can someone help me to convert it or just show me how it works on AS3.

Thanks!

This is the code for AS2:


on(release){
_root.play();
_root.choose="46";
}

Here is an example what i mean by rolling out effect when i click on different button.

that second post is confusing - in the first you're asking about on(release) in AS3 - then in the follow up you start talking about ROLL_OUT and show that link that doesn't really show much.

to answer the original question: you can't put script on objects anymore - it has to be in a class or in the frame.

assuming the button's on the main timeline, you'd first have to give it an instance name (i'll use "myButton" for this example). you'd also have to have "choose" defined in the timeline and can't just assign it on the fly like you could in AS2. then you add an event listener, and a function to handle the event:

var choose:String;
function clickHandler(event:Event):void{
  play();
  choose = "46";
}
myButton.addEventListener("click", clickHandler);

moagrius thank you very much! It works!
I was looking for that all day I know about functions and some other things and how to structure it is just that I don't know key things on AS3 like this one. I could of make it without this effect but then the website is gonna look crap and I don`t want this.

Thank you!
