Problem with my code... Help?

[RavenJWolfe]

I am making a draw application and with a tutorial and some comment posts from it, I've come to this... Since I changed the commented out part to this:

//lineThickness = 0;
//selectedColor = "0x000000";
//_root.onMouseDown = startDrawing;
//_root.onMouseUp = stopDrawing;
//function startDrawing() {
//if (_ymouse<420) {
//_root.lineStyle(lineThickness, selectedColor);
//_root.moveTo(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse);
//_root.onMouseMove = drawLine; 
//		}
//	}
//function drawLine() {
//_root.lineTo(this._xmouse, this._ymouse);
//	}
//function stopDrawing() {
//delete this.onMouseMove;
//	}
//

createEmptyMovieClip("surface",1);
surface.lineStyle(1,"0×000000",100);
onMouseDown = function (){
surface.moveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
if (_ymouse<420)
onMouseMove = function (){
surface.lineTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
_root.drawTools.swapDepths(1000);
};
};
onMouseUp = function(){
delete onMouseMove;
}

How do i get the buttons i made for line thickness and color to work properly??
Everything but changing the size and color works... (even the eraser)

Ready to pull my hair out!

_root.drawTools.line0.onPress = function() {
lineThickness = 0;
	};
_root.drawTools.line3.onPress = function() {
lineThickness = 3;
	};
_root.drawTools.line6.onPress = function() {
lineThickness = 6;
	};
_root.drawTools.colorRed.onPress = function() {
selectedColor = "0xFF0000";
	};
_root.drawTools.colorOrange.onPress = function() {
selectedColor = "0xFF6600";
	};
_root.drawTools.colorYellow.onPress = function() {
selectedColor = "0xFFFF00";
	};
_root.drawTools.colorGreen.onPress = function() {
selectedColor = "0x00FF00";
	};
_root.drawTools.colorBlue.onPress = function() {
selectedColor = "0x0000FF";
	};
_root.drawTools.colorPurple.onPress = function() {
selectedColor = "0x9900FF";
	};
_root.drawTools.colorFuchsia.onPress = function() {
selectedColor = "0xFF00FF";
	};
_root.drawTools.colorPink.onPress = function() {
selectedColor = "0xFF3399";
	};
_root.drawTools.colorBlack.onPress = function() {
selectedColor = "0x000000";
	};
_root.drawTools.colorWhite.onPress = function() {
selectedColor = "0xFFFFFF";
	};
_root.drawTools.colorGray.onPress = function() {
selectedColor = "0x666666";
	};

_root.drawTools.eraser_btn.onPress = function() {
_root.clear();
createEmptyMovieClip("surface",1);
surface.lineStyle(1,"0×000000",100);
	};

the lineThickness and selectedColor worked before, but with the new code at the top, i dont know what to change them to.

I know the problem is that this line doesnt match up with my old code, but I dont know what to do about it!

surface.lineStyle(1,"0×000000",100);

var lineThickness = 0;
var selectedColor = "0x000000";
//
createEmptyMovieClip("surface",1);
//
onMouseDown = function () {
	surface.moveTo(_xmouse,_ymouse);
	if (_ymouse<420) {
		onMouseMove = function () {
			surface.lineStyle(lineThickness,selectedColor,100);
			surface.lineTo(_xmouse,_ymouse);
			_root.drawTools.swapDepths(1000);
		};
	}
};
//
onMouseUp = function () {
	delete onMouseMove;
};
//
_root.drawTools.line0.onPress = function() {
	lineThickness = 0;
};
_root.drawTools.line3.onPress = function() {
	lineThickness = 3;
};
_root.drawTools.line6.onPress = function() {
	lineThickness = 6;
};
//
_root.drawTools.colorRed.onPress = function() {
	selectedColor = "0xFF0000";
};
_root.drawTools.colorOrange.onPress = function() {
	selectedColor = "0xFF6600";
};
//
_root.drawTools.eraser_btn.onPress = function() {
	_root.clear();
	createEmptyMovieClip("surface",1);
};

dawsonk I think I love you.

THANK YOU SO MUCH,

when i have it live, ill try and remember to post you the link. you'll laugh

[RavenJWolfe]

I'll go ahead and post a temporary link, to show it off. hehe...

Basically I'm building a new website for my portfolio, and this will go on my bio page. just a little funny treat for viewers. eventually I'd like to make it have the option to save their work to the server, and possibly post to a gallery page, or email it to me. That would be hilarious!

I'm SO glad it works now. you have no idea... o.o
