Hi All,

Wondering what I'm doing wrong. Why doesn't this work in my Animate CC, HTML5 project? (probably something obvious)

stage.btn1_INS.addEventListener("click", buttonClick.bind(this));

function buttonClick() {

alert("I am active");

}

btn1_INS is a Symbol with a type of Button.

Thanks

The top level of the timeline need not be the same thing as 'stage', I think mainly because of the new camera features. You would normally say:

this.btn1_INS.addEventListener("click", buttonClick.bind(this));

function buttonClick() {

alert("I am active");

}

Must be something else. That doesn't work either... But if I put the listener on the header image (that is a Movie Clip) it works.

this.header_INS.addEventListener("click", buttonClick.bind(this)); //This works
this.btn1_INS.addEventListener("click", buttonClick.bind(this)); //This doesn't

function buttonClick() {
alert("I am active");
}

Check whether the btn1_INS has had that name since the start of the timeline. If you have key frames and you have the symbol named after the keyframe but not before, then it will fail.

Also, if btn1_INS is in fact a Button, and header_INS is a movieclip, check the Hit frame inside the button has something there.
