How to Create a Button with Multiple Clicks?

[niallb45353356]

Hello

I've recently been learning how to use buttons in flash. I understand how to make a symbol visible with a button.

But I was wondering how I could create a single button which could make one symbol visible after another with repeated clicks.

For example, 1 click means a box appears, 2 clicks means another box appears and so on, with a maximum of say 30.

I can't find information about how to do this anywhere. So any help would be appreciated.

You can do this:

- Create a button called show.

- Create a container Movie Clip called boxes.

- Add as many Movie Clips as you want to this boxes Movie Clip.

- Set all children Movie Clips of this container to be invisible.

- Add this code to the main timeline:

import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var count:uint = 0;
show.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
function clickHandler(e:MouseEvent):void
{
    if (count < boxes.numChildren)
    {
        boxes.getChildAt(count).visible = true;
        count++;
    }   
}

Done.

I hope it helps.
