I'm trying to figure out how to load a movie clip to the stage with a button click and have the movieclip close again using a close button. Does anyone have a step by step on how to do this or links to some tutorials.

Below is an example of what I'm trying to do.

ActionScript

Correct answer kglad

looks like you're using an "el" and a "one". they look similar but they're not the same.

copy and paste from your code to your properties panel or vice-versa to correct.

where's the movieclip?

if it's in your library, assign a class (eg, MC) and use the "new" constructor:

var mc:MC

add_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,addF);

close_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,closeF);

function addF(e:MouseEvent):void{

mc=new MC();

addChild(mc);

}

function closeF(e:MouseEvent):void{

removeChild(mc);

mc=null;

}

use:

var popup1:Popup1
add_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,addF);
close_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,closeF);
function addF(e:MouseEvent):void{
popup1=new Popup1();
addChild(popup1);
}
function closeF(e:MouseEvent):void{
removeChild(popup1);
popup1=null;
}

So I put that code on my button and it doesn't do anything?
