Just go through your code again and identified the problem. You should get "undefined" in the 2nd lot of traces. Because your "l2Product_mc" is created ONLY when l1_mc.product_btn is pressed. However, "this.l2Product_mc.mens_btn.onPress = function():Void " established before "l2Product_mc" is created. "l2Product_mc" will never be registered to that onPress event.
You should establish the event right after attaching it.

I am trying to target a button in a dynamic MC (attached from the Library). Each movie clip in the library already has the required buttons with an instance name. I have a MC on my main timeline called "menu_mc". Now in the timeline of "menu_mc" I have the following code: //l2 this.l1_mc.product_btn.onPress = function():Void { _parent.menu_mc.attachMovie("level2McProduct", "l2Product_mc", 12); _parent.menu_mc.l2Product_mc._x = 73.7; new Tween(_parent.menu_mc.l2Product_mc, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, 3, true); new Tween(_parent.menu_mc.l2Product_mc, "_y", Strong.easeOut, 106, 0, 1, true); }; //l3 this.l2Product_mc.mens_btn.onPress = function():Void { trace(_parent); _parent.menu_mc.attachMovie("level3McMens", "l3Mens_mc", 13); _parent.menu_mc.l3Mens_mc._x = 189.5; new Tween(_parent.menu_mc.l3Mens_mc, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, 3, true); new Tween(_parent.menu_mc.l3Mens_mc, "_y", Strong.easeOut, 106, 0, 1, true); }; the "l1_mc" was created with attachMovie earlier in the code, but is trimmed from here to save room (it functions as it should). The following: this.l1_mc.product_btn.onPress = function():Void also works as it should. Now the results of that are another MC attached to the timeline of the "menu_mc" instance. This all works, and my tweens, etc all work as expected. Now for some reason when I drill down one level deeper: this.l2Product_mc.mens_btn.onPress = function():Void the code stops working. I stuck a "trace" in there to see if the button event was even responding. Which it is not! I double, triple checked the button instance name and the so on... but it just never works. As you can see I had modified my path to use the previously attached MC. I even tried putting in the moviclip by hand and browsed to find the path (to make sure I had no mistakes)- and it appears I do not. I am at wits end here and going insane. Does anyone have any suggestions? Am I missing something? Is there a limitation in flash that I do not know about? :::::::::::::::::::::: Dustin :::::::::::::::::::::: _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Important - This email and any attachments may be confidential.
