AS3 - Scope question

Hi guys,


THE SETUP - WHAT WORKS

I have created and randomized an array list, simple enough.

I have created a 'box_mc' which includes 2 frames "Front" and "Back".

The "box_mc" appears on the stage in frame "Front".

When I click on it the "box_mc" goes to frame "Back" AND a text box on frame "Back" appears with the first item in the randomized array.

I NEED HELP ON

When I click "box_mc" again to go back to frame "Front" the frame changes UNLESS I click on the textbox inside of the "box_mc"

I'm using:

e.target.gotoAndPlay("Front"); // selects the 'box_mc' while on frame 'Front'

How can I do something like:

e.target.parent.gotoAndPlay("Front");  // could select 'box_mc' or 'box_mc.myText_txt' on frame 'Back' depending where i click

What can I use?

Thanks for helping,

Sky

First, don't use 'target', but instead use 'currentTarget'.  Then make sure your textfield is not selectable and also set box_mc.mouseChildren = false;

You're welcome Sky.  As for Atlantis, I am bound to an NDA on that.
