Two questions

[Username101010]

I have a movieclip named physicalMenu and inside of it on frame 2 is a button named attack1Btn.

I am using the code

physicalMenu.attack1Btn.onRelease = function() {
    if (players_turn == true && player_attack == false && player_magic == false) {
        player_attack = true;
        player.gotoAndPlay('attack1');
    }
}

to specify what I want the button to do. The problem is that its not working.

I think its because the actionscript is looking for the button on frame 1 of the physicalMenu movieclip. (If the button is on frame 1 the code works fine.)

So my 2 questions are
1. Why isnt the code working?
2. How can I make it work without adding actionscript to the individual button?

Where are the variables, players_turn, player_attach and player_magic located? Inside the physicalMenu movieclip, or outside of it?

Outside

Oh, I see why it's only working on frame 1. It's because you set the actionscript for the code for the button on Frame 1 of that movieclip, and they ain't refreshed when the button is on another frame. Use this code:

onEnterFrame = function(){
    physicalMenu.attack1Btn.onRelease = function() {
        if (players_turn == true && player_attack == false && player_magic == false) {
            player_attack = true;
            player.gotoAndPlay('attack1');
        }
    }
}
