    Fade in timer issue

    I am using Flash CS5.

    I am combining script from three different Flash files into a master template and have managed to make everything work except for one detail.

    I have four buttons that have separate fade in time variables and one button doesn't fade in properly. The "CytBtn" button will only take on the fade in variable setting of the "TipBtn" regardless of what its setting is.

    The instance names for the buttons are correct and I can turn them on and off just fine.

    Here's the code.

    A png of the swf is attached

    Thanks - Ron


    [ code ] var resArray:Array = new Array();


    /****************** Properties to adjust for TIPS BUTTON begins here *****************/

    // text that should appear in the tip popup. Will accept html codes.

    var tipText = "This is where the tip text goes.";
    var cytText = "This is where Check your Thinking text goes.";



    //This is how many seconds the icon will be invisible until it fades in and is clickable.

    var needTechVideoBtn = true;
    var secondsDelay_techVideo = 0;

    //select a teacher image to use
    // teacherOne = African American Woman
    // teacherTwo = Caucasian Male
    // teacherThree = Asian Woman
    tipTextObject.teacherImage.gotoAndPlay("teacherOne ");

    More clarification on my code:

    Basically I am taking code from three files that was developed from someone else. I am not completely sure how it all works. I AM a newbie at this.

    The delete function is there so we can drop buttons that we want to delete and save the file under a specific name with only the button(s) available that we want. This is a master template to be used in generating many specific usage files.
    ----------------------------------------------------
    Basically the needBtn function will determine if that button is visible/deleted or not. True or false makes the determination

    Example:
    var needTipBtn = true;
    var secondsDelay = 1;

    It will be visible in this case.

    var needTipBtn = false;
    var secondsDelay = 1;

    It won't be visible.


    ----------------------------------------------------


    This code makes the true/false choice work -

    function removeTipBtn (){
    if (needTipBtn == false) {
    delete btnFadeIn_tip;
    delete myInterval_tip;
    delete tipBtn;
    }
    }

    removeTipBtn();

    tipTextObject._visible = false;
    tipBtn._visible = false;

    tipTextObject.textTarget.setTextFormat(tipFormat);
    tipTextObject.textTarget.embedFonts = true;

    tipTextObject.textTarget.htmlText = tipText;

    function btnFadeIn_tip (){
    tipBtn._visible = true;
    clearInterval(myInterval_tip);
    }

    var myInterval_tip = setInterval(btnFadeIn_tip,(secondsDelay * 1000));

    ----------------------------------------------------
