The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Problem with Dynamically created Button and Assosiated Sprite

Asked by MartiniMon in Adobe Flash, Web Graphics Software

Tags: Adobe, Flash, CS3, AS3, AS3

In AS3, I want to create a function that will create multiple instances of 2 linked library items, call it "theAni" and "theButtonHit". theButtonHit is a button clip with a singel graphic fo rthe hit frame only.

Currently I do not have the hit inside the animated button mc as I have situations where there are different or no other mc's and just the button although in this case each of the as created hit buttons will be positioned over an instance of "theAni"

theAni is an animated mc that needs get a gotoAndPlay("play") action.

My initial was to use a function call to make iseveral instances of the btnAni and hit pair and have been somewhat successful but am having issues with targeting. I am not successful in getting the theAni to do anything although it does get displayed on the stage.

Also, I tried creating a container mc within the function as well, adding the hit and ani to it and then adding the container to the display list addChild(myName) to no avail. The instances displayed but was unsuccessful targeting them - specifically theAni mc.

There is probably a much better way to do this and I am sure I could forge a work-around but this is where I am at the moment. It's probably somethig obvious im overlooking and input on the method I using to accomplish the task is apprecatied.
