BUTTON - MOUSE EVENT - HELP

[seven20]

i have an animated button starting off my file ... i have a stop action assigned to it. now i want it to advance to the next frame and continue upon clicking the button. the only problem is ... i am unable to assign 'on mouse event' as an action ... it is the only unavailable action. i switched out of normal mode into expert mode and tried to put it in manually ... i got a syntax error telling me that mouse events can only be assigned to button instances ... but it is a button instance ... there is no doubt about that ... anybody have a clue ? please ?

The only thing that could be wrong is this:
IT ISN'T A BUTTON !!!!!!

Try this and see if that helps

select the (soon to be) button.
Then hit F8 on your keyboard and give the thing a name and be sure it's ticked as a button.

Then see if you can give the on mouse event action.

Now you probably can

Hit <CTRL L> opening you own library and delete the old corrupt button and continue using the new one

Good luck with it.

nope ... i converted it to a new button ... still nothing ...

Try rightclicking the symbol to check if it's a real button in your library.

Or you could send the fla if that isn't larger than 5Mb by email so i can have a look at it.

But that only if you don't mind giving your fla file to someone you don't know (maybe you could strip the whole
so i can only see the button).

yep .. its really a button. i'd be more than happy to let you take a look at it ... if you wouldnt mind ... mail me your e-mail address .. seven20@flashmail.com
