using buttons

[biderman]

Hi. I'm looking for actionscript code equivalent to:
" do nothing until a button is pressed" while still maintain my entire code in the same frame.
Thank in advance.

[Cota]

btn_instanceName.onRelease = function(){
//Do stuff when pressed
}
you place that with the rest of the code and you should be fine.

Thanks

It's me again.
This handler works fine when the button is acting but it doesn't make the script "wait and do nothing until .." . I will keep moving through the code !Moshe.

what you're asking for and what cota gave you are technically the same thing.
can you post the code that you want to 'actively wait' for a button press?
cause i'm not sure what you mean.
thanks.

Hi. What I meant is that if it waits, how come the "doesn't wait" shows ?
X=function(){do something}
key1.onPress=X;
key2.onPress=X;
key3.onPress=X;
trace("doesn't wait");

[Cota]

Flash will read all the code...so the trace will always be run..place it in the function and you wont have that problem.

[biderman]

I tried with function too.. Please advise how to. Thanks

what cota was saying is that your trace wasn't in your function, so the trace gets called right away.

function X()
{
trace( "this code 'waits' for an onPress");
// other code that you only wan't to call with onPress
};

key1.onPress = X;
key2.onPress = X;
key3.onPress = X;
