Re: [Flashcoders] Issue with movieClip.onRelease
Try tracing the _root.contentItems[1].jobUrl in the different steps of
the program: when you create it, before you enter the onRelease
defining part, etc. The problem must lie in referencing it.
Note, however, that this code won't work (look at part 1):
http://pastebin.com/732422
You'll need to save the "i" on the button itself so it can remember
(look at part 2)

Re: [Flashcoders] Issue with movieClip.onRelease
What version of flash are you using? YOu can try delegate to solve scoping
issues but i kinda set it up in two ways as the comments suggest.
Also, avoid references to root if possible.
import mx.util.Delegate;
function buildNav(p_content:Array):Void {

[Flashcoders] Issue with movieClip.onRelease
Hello Everyone,
I am experiencing a strange issue when I am trying to do an onRelease in the
following code. All it does is cycle through the items in an XML file, then
assign the data to labels, buttons etc. Everything works fine until I try to
assign the URL. Even when I try to trace it out inside the onRelease
function it gives undefined. Is this a flash issue or is there something
here I am missing?
Any help is much appreciated.
