Re: [Flashcoders] How much would you charge?

[Michael Knauf]

That's a nearly impossible question, define "simple" define  
"acceptable" define "pro"...


Generally speaking if you have to ask, you're probably charging too  
little ;-), but prices vary from region to region and country to  
country and industry to industry... there are huge differences from  
hiring some small-time freelancer, and hiring a design or ad agency,  
or a big-time freelancer, and frankly there's a huge range in quality,  
too.


I'm primarily a graphic designer, so my charge for a "simple" website  
is going to involve things like research into the clients competition,  
a definition of the target audience, a design process involving  
multiple iterations of design mockups and revisions, all before doing  
anything in flash or html.


Then there's the question of accessible code, SEO, standards  
compliance, ownership of artwork, guarantees and maintenance, etc.


Pick up a copy of the Graphic Artists Guild "Pricing and Ethical  
Guidelines" to get an idea what others in your area are charging, or  
call up a few of the competition and ask for a quote, and then look at  
examples of their work...

[Flashcoders] targeting an event listner to a button inside a movieclip?

[Michael Knauf]

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?
