Forums: Flash:

I've got a little bit of flash to do and I haven't opened flash since version 4 and AS1.

I'm using CS3 and AS2 (I think).

The issue: I have a movie clip on layer in Frame1 (instance name of 'soldmark'. I add an event listener and want to affect the movie clip in the event listener function:

listenerObject = new Object();
listenerObject.onMyEvent = function(eventObject):Void {

soldmark._visible = false;	
	
sold = eventObject.data.sold;

if (sold == "true") {
	var soldmarkTween = new Tween(soldmark,'_alpha',None.easeNone(0,1,2),true); 
}
}
myMovie.addEventListener("onMyEvent", listenerObject);

did u sort this already Techno?

Make sure you're specifying AS2 in your publish settings.

Then try to see if it can find soldmark at all, just add a simple trace outside of your event handler:
trace("soldmark = " + soldmark);

Yeah, got it sorted thanks, it was something totally trivial.

On the linkage and properties dialog there is a field for 'class' which I had populated with 'soldmark' but I think flash was throwing a wobbly because that is for AS3 only and it was hunting for a class that didn't exist. Anyway, i cleared those fields and all was good.
