Subject: FLASH: Buttons inside of Movie Clips
From: Jason Bouwmeester
Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2000 18:27:53 GMT

Hey everyone,

I have a movie clip called "mc: letter T" - inside that movie clip is a
button called "btn: letter T"

Now what I want to happen is this, there are a few "mc: letter T" spread out
but each has a different instance name, i.e. letter_t1, letter_t2 and so
forth. Now inside the mc with instance "letter_t1" I want the button "btn:
letter T" to tell the mc letter_t1 to go to a labelled frame. No problem.
Now when I go into the mc with instance "letter_t2" I want THAT "btn: letter
T" to tell the mc instance letter_t2 to go to a labelled frame. The only
problem is when I apply actions to the button within letter_t2 it changes
the actions in letter_t1. I know why this is, because technically letter_t1
and letter_t2 mc are the same, but I thought that perhaps naming the
instances different that that would work. Is there any way around this
without having to have a separate mc for each letter T that is on the page?

I hope I made some sense and hope someone can help me out =0)

TIA,
Jason
