this.button1.onRollOver = function() {
button1.gotoAndPlay("_over");
}

this.button1.onRollOut = function() {
button1.gotoAndPlay("_out");
}

this.button1.onRelease = function() {
button1.gotoAndPlay("bam");
}

i'm using this actionscripting to control my button. ( made with a MC ) button1 being the instance name in the example, and "_over" & "_out" being the effect. "bam" is the frame label. I can't get the onRelease to call that label and load the content within it's parameters, that's one problem, another being that I'm seeing it only works if I place it after a certain frame. Why is this? Also, my other buttons won't do any sort of animation, I used the exact same method as my first button which animates fine. This is giving me a headache any input is appreciated. :2gunsfiring_v1:

Try changing your onRelease to onClick or onPress. Actionscript is a pain in the balls sometimes, that's why I switched to Swish. it may be a cop out but god damn it saves so much time.

well, i figured out the onRelease probelm, I still can't figure out why none of my other buttons want to work. I did the exact same process, there is nothing different with the them ~.~

You can try this instead, it's a slightly 'cleaner' Actionscript 2.0 method:

buttonInstanceName.onRelease = funciton():Void {
gotoAndPlay("name");
};

Give that a try...

yeah, the onRelease problem was fixed, I just dont understand why none of my other buttons want to work. i've used this technique before with no problems.

What are you referring to in things like "bam" etc... Labels on the timeline, instance names, etc... ?

the problem has been resolved, thanks for the input though.
