player move to tile

[ultrarule]

I have a player movie clip and a tile movieclip. When I click the tile movieclip, it adds buttons on the screen. When I click the button, I want the player to go to that tile movieclip that was clicked, however, it isn't working.

function mouseclick(event:MouseEvent)

                              {

                                                  (event.currentTarget as Tile).outline.gotoAndStop("active");

                                                  addChild(skip_btn);

                                                  skip_btn.buttonMode = true;

                                                  ////////////////SKIP BUTTON FUNCTIONALITY/////////////////////

                                                  if (player.x == (event.currentTarget.x) && player.y == (event.currentTarget.y)) {

                                                            skip_btn.buttonMode = false;

                                                            skip_btn.gotoAndStop("inactive");

                                                  }

                                                  else {

                                                            skip_btn.gotoAndStop("out");

                                                            skip_btn.buttonMode = true;

                                                  }

                              }

if (skip_btn.skipClick == true){

                                                            removeChild(skip_btn);

                                                            player.x = (event.currentTarget.x);

  player.y = (event.currentTarget.y);

                                                            trace("MOVE!");

                                                            skip_btn.skipClick = false;

                                                  }

Basically if a player is on a tile and you click that tile, then the button appears, but it isn't clickable. If you click another tile that the player is not on, then it is clickable and the player should move there, but it doesn't. Any ideas on how to get this to work?

i assume you're posting your tile listener function and have not posted the button's listener function. 

in the tile listener function i do not see that you're saving a reference to the tile so it's not clear how the button's listener function will know which tile to go to.  you probably need to fix that and you should post your button's listener function.

The button's listener function just declares a variable called skipClip true. To save a reference, should I create a new variable(let's call it tileSelected) that's a boolean and when the tile is clicked, say event.currentTarget.tileSelected = true?

if the button's listener function resets skipClip, how is mouseclick called AFTER that listener function executes?
