calling a function

[huminuh83]

I have a very basic question. I have a custom class called caurina. I've imported the class and it works great. What i did is use that as a function called slide().

What I would like to do is make that function play when a button is pressed. I can't seem to find out how to do this anywhere. I am using as3.

Summary: When btn is pressed go play function slide()
Thanks!

Do you mean that you need to call method slide(); of an instance of the class or function slide() is a function that you wrote.

You need to post more code (not too much though :-)

sorry,


Here is my code

import caurina.transitions.*;


function slide() {
Tweener.addTween(test, {x:89, y:170, time:2});

}

button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, slide)


I get an error "argument count mismatch...."

Event listener function always expect exactly one parameter - Event.

In your case it expects MouseEvent which you don't pass (hence the error that describes the syntax error)

function slide(event:MouseEvent) {
Tweener.addTween(test, {x:89, y:170, time:2});
}

Thanks!

That worked perfectly, I understand now.

Just one question...do you know why, when you rollover the button (actually a movie clip symbol) why it wouldn't show the hand? Is it because it's a mc symbol and not a btn symbol??

Thanks again for your help.

You are welcome.

Try: movie.buttonMode = true;
