Adobe flash cs4 as3 button question

[Guest]

Hi,

and how can i refer a button that in main stage while in an another clip's substage..

A button beiong clicked is an event, not a persistent state, so if you want to have some conditional outside of the button's normal event listening/handling code, then you would need to create such a property/variable.  So you could create a variable: var homeClicked:Boolean = false;  and when the button gets clicked, your event handler function could assign: homeClicked = true.  You could then use something like...

if(homeClicked){

     // do whatever you intend

}

To refer to an object in the parent timeline you can use: MovieClip(this.parent).objectName

so how can i write the code of   "when the button gets clicked" part?

and pls assume button name is "Home" so i can clearly understand. İf it is not appropiate sorry but if you can show me a full example i will really appreciate.

As far as I can tell I did write all the code needed to answer your question--you could plug it in and it would work, so long as you understand what I explained.  You just need to fill in the part inside the " // do whatever you intend " part.

It is possible you mean something else which might be done differently.  So I did what I could to try to interpret your request.
