Dynamicaaly create button/movieclip

[Gekke_Hollander]

Hi,

I was wondering if the next is possible and how it would be possible. I want to create buttons dynamically with code. So not attaching a mc form the library but create one! Well there is no such thing as createButton() right? So I thought maybe with createEmptyMovieClip. But is there a way to 'fill in' multiple frames with dynamic created stuff...? I want to create a movieclip in which the first frame is the up state, the second is the over state etc etc...

Cheers,
Bart

Hi,

Just something I came up with quickly that could probably be improved...

Single button....

code:

---

myButton = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("button", 10);

with (myButton) {

	lineStyle(2, 0xFF0000);

	beginFill(0xFF0000, 50);

	moveTo(200, 200);

	lineTo(250, 200);

	lineTo(250, 250);

	lineTo(200, 250);

	lineTo(200, 200);

	endFill();

}

myButton.onRollOver = function() {

	trace("Mouse is on me!");

	myButton.clear();

	with (myButton) {

		lineStyle(2, 0xFF0000);

		beginFill(0x0000FF, 100);

		moveTo(200, 200);

		lineTo(250, 200);

		lineTo(250, 250);

		lineTo(200, 250);

		lineTo(200, 200);

		endFill();

	}

}

myButton.onRollOut = function() {

	trace("Mouse is off me!");

	myButton.clear();

	with (myButton) {

		lineStyle(2, 0xFF0000);

		beginFill(0xFF0000, 50);

		moveTo(200, 200);

		lineTo(250, 200);

		lineTo(250, 250);

		lineTo(200, 250);

		lineTo(200, 200);

		endFill();

	}

}

myButton.onPress = function() {

	trace("I was pressed");

}

myButton.onRelease = myButton.onReleaseOutside=function () {

	trace("I was released");

}

Is there a way to do a line2fill with coding? The corners are rounded with lineTo...
I know I know... mr pixel perfect but just wondering!

Not sure what your referring to. Maybe try a thinner lineStyle....

lineStyle(1, 0xFF0000);

The value 0 indicates hairline thickness; the maximum thickness is 255.

Alright thanx, I treid with 1.... but ofcourse didn't think of 0!
