Button Instances Across Scenes...

[thawki]

Im making a movie with multiple sceens, and these sceens all contain the same button instances, yet I do not want the buttons to do the same thing in every scene.

I thought that once I created the first scene, I could just duplicate the scene with all of its button instances and modify the code behind it for that particular scene, but what I readily found out was that the instances carry their code across scenes.

Any solutions?

Thanks.

If you duplicate your content in a secondary scene you should be able to change the actions buttons without problems, I don’t get what’s wrong.

The button instances are from the same library, so when I modify the code on a button in Scene 2, it makes the change on the button instance in scene 1.

I would prefer it leave the instance on Scene 1 alone.

Great Site btw Jesse....very helpful.

Changes made to buttons on Scene 2 will not effect the code on Scene 1 buttons unless the buttons are within another object and you've duplicated THAT object. Like if your buttons are in a movieclip and you put that same movieclip on Scene 1 and 2, all changes will be accross the board... but if the buttons are directly on the main timeline their actions should be independent.

That is the case...thanks.
