Hi All,
I have the following code in AS2 Class files. (no code on timelines)
The function below is a button handler for a Class that extends MovieClip.
In the button handler function, I am attaching a movieClip that has a public
ScrollPane so that I can add content to it from this function. When I use
attachMovie to add a button to the ScrollPane, the button does not appear.
However the 2nd time the function is called, the button does appear?
// button handler for a movieClip to create a popup style window
function dgAdd(evt:Object){
this.attachMovie("Slice9Window","Slice9Window",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
this["Slice9Window"]["pane"].contentPath = "mv_form_no_builder";
var mvScroller:MovieClip = this["Slice9Window"]["pane"].spContentHolder;
mvScroller.attachMovie("Button","the_button",mvScroller.getNextHighestDepth(
));
mvScroller["the_button"].label = "Does this work";
mvScroller.redraw(); // this didn't help
}
Also, spConentHolder is undocumented, but I have used this in the past.
Compiling with Flash 8 pro.
Thanks for any explanations! I think it has something to do with the
movieClip not loading by the time I call attachMovie, but I read on another
thread that if everything is in class files that there is no timing issues
with attachMovie.
