window component - locate button in movieClip

[As2John]

Hi,
Does anyone know how to access a button in a movieClip that is loaded into Window component? I tried following but it does not work.

import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
import mx.containers.Window;
var my_win:MovieClip = PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, Window, true, {closeButton:true, contentPath:"aa"});
var winListener:Object = new Object();
winListener.complete = function(evt_obj:Object) {
	my_win.setSize(my_win.content._width+50, my_win.content._height+50);
};
my_win.addEventListener("complete", winListener);
my_win.content.aa.b_btn.onRelease = function() {
	trace("Button pressed");
}

Thanks

Hi John,

There are two things you must correct for the button to work. First, when targeting the window content, you don't need to include the target movieclip as well. You wrote:

my_win.content.aa.b_btn.onRelease

instead you should use:

my_win.content.b_btn.onRelease

Also, put the onRelease function into the complete function so that you can be sure the button is loaded (and can be targeted) when you click it. The working code looks like this:

import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
import mx.containers.Window;
var my_win:MovieClip = PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, Window, true, {closeButton:true, contentPath:"aa"});
var winListener:Object = new Object();
winListener.complete = function(evt_obj:Object) {
	my_win.setSize(my_win.content._width+50, my_win.content._height+50);
	my_win.content.b_btn.onRelease = function() {
		trace("Button pressed");
	}
};
my_win.addEventListener("complete", winListener);
