AS3 and buttons

[Banana Man]

Hi,

Im trying to add a next button on every frame of my timeline. I have setup the first button no problems with:

next_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickFunctionNext);
 
function clickFunction(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay.nextFrame();
}

but then if i want to add another next button on the next frame with the same function i.e. gotoAndPlay.nextframe() i get a duplicate function defenition error.

There must be some way of setting a repeated button up like this without having to give each one an individual instance name and function?

Thanks

You don't need the code, or the button, on every frame.

For the button, make sure there isn't a keyframe in the time line so that the same instance of the button stretches across multiple frames.

For the AS, make sure it's on the first frame where the button occurs, and that's all you need. As long as the button stays on the stage, you don't need the code on every frame the button is on.

Ah yes, thanks!
