First time posting on this list, hope y'all can help with this one, it
should be easy, but having gone through what seems to be every
possible permutation, I can't get it right.
in the main movie, there's a button named "upperoffice", and the event
listner correctly triggers the displayinfobox function to send the
movieclip infoboxmc to a named frame... the code in frame 1 of the
main movie:
upperoffice.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, displayinfobox);
function displayinfobox(event:MouseEvent):void
{
infoboxmc.gotoAndStop("mainoffice");
}
That works as expected. Now, there's a button in the infoboxmc
movieclip that I'd like to have send the movieclip to another named
frame, I expect that I need to have the event listener point to the
button in the movieclip, some thing like
infoboxmc.closethat.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeinfobox);
function closeinfobox(event:MouseEvent):void
{
infoboxmc.gotoAndStop("blank");
}
but that does not work....
I get something like: "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a
property or method of a null object reference.
at interactivecampmap1_fla::MainTimeline/frame1() "
this should be pretty simple, but I can't come up with a path that
correctly targets the button inside the movieclip, can anyone point me
in the correct direction?
