How To Determine An Instance Name When Adding A Movie Clip From The Library In Animate CC

Question

Hi,

I have the following code -

var fl_MyInstance = new lib.ResetBtns();

this.ShowReset.addEventListener("click", fl_MouseClickHandler_2.bind(this));

function fl_MouseClickHandler_2() {

this.addChild(fl_MyInstance);
fl_MyInstance.x = 219.05;
fl_MyInstance.y = 110.55;
} //This code adds a MC from the library and works just fine

//This code should call the alert command and does not work

this.ResetButtons.ResetSVDU.addEventListener("click", fl_MouseClickHandler.bind(this));

function fl_MouseClickHandler() {
alert("Mouse clicked");
}

The name of the libary item I'm adding is ResetButtons. The Linkage name is ResetBtns.

ResetSVDU is a button within the ResetButtons MC.

I've tried ResetButtons, ResetBtns, and fl_MyInstance but I can't get to the ResetSVDU button to trigger the alert command.

My question is, what name should I use in the following line?

this.????.ResetSVDU.addEventListener("click", fl_MouseClickHandler.bind(this));

Thanks

Here you go.

Thanks for the file.

You only need to remove the this keyword from the beginning of line 20.

From this:

this.fl_MyInstance.ResetSVDU.addEventListener("click", fl_MouseClickHandler.bind(this));

To this:

fl_MyInstance.ResetSVDU.addEventListener("click", fl_MouseClickHandler.bind(this));

fl_MyInstance is a variable you created and not a property of the main timeline.

Regards,

JC

Hi. It should be:fl_MyInstance.ResetSVDU.addEventListener("click", fl_MouseClickHandler.bind(this)); But is ResetSVDU the instance name or the symbol name? Make sure it's the instance name. Please let us know. Regards,JC
