[FMX] changing mouse events into function calls

[dcell]

Hiya,
I'm a semi-newbie and could sure use some help.
I have 4 invisible buttons that all do basically the same thing. I am learning how to consolidate my code using functions and I'm stuck on this one. I am using onRollover, on Rollout and onReleases in a frame actionscript. The code is below for 2 of the buttons.

mission_btn.onRollOver =function(){
mission_mc.gotoAndPlay("on");
}

mission_btn.onRollOut=function(){
mission_mc.gotoAndPlay("off");
}

mission_btn.onRelease = function(){
sectionLoader ("mission")
}

facilities_btn.onRollOver =function(){
facilities_mc.gotoAndPlay("on");
}

facilities_btn.onRollOut=function(){
facilities_mc.gotoAndPlay("off");
}

facilities_btn.onRelease = function(){
sectionLoader ("facilities")
}

is this enough info to help me change these events into a function?
or should I just continue with this method for the other buttons?

Thanks for the insight!
David

they already are functions

:q:

Ok,
so I'm not the sharpest pencil in the box.
Maybe me question no phrased good.

I guess I wanted to consolidate these button scripts.
like only have 1 onRollover etc,
and where mission_btn is or facilities_btn is, generate that name dynamically and assign it to the rollover or release etc.

Does that make anymore sense?

I'm really trying to explain.....


thanks for the patience
David

[kode]

btn = [mission_btn, facilities_btn];
for (var b in btn) {
btn[b].onRollOver = function () {
this._parent[this._name.substring(0, this._name.lastIndexOf("_"))+"_mc"].gotoAndPlay("on");
}
btn[b].onRollOut = function () {
this._parent[this._name.substring(0, this._name.lastIndexOf("_"))+"_mc"].gotoAndPlay("off");
}
btn[b].onRelease = function () {
sectionLoader(this._name.substring(0, this._name.lastIndexOf("_")));
}
}
that's the only way i could get it to work :-\

well .. for five minutes of work it's not that bad :P

instead of using substring you could just start off with the prefix and then add _btn or _mc making it a little easier I think :q:
the array being

sections = ["mission", "facilities"];

etc?

[kode]

hmm .. good point =)

[pom]

senocular
redraw("lostinbeta");

kax
erase("lostinbeta"); :P :P :P

[kode]

yeah .. i saw it a few minutes ago :P

seems like he won't let me erase lostinbeta :-\
