Topic: MovieClip properties shown as undefined.

Hi there,

I've a MovieClip ("play_button") that acts as a button on my stage, it overlays another MovieClip ("video_player") that plays a loaded video swf using MovieClipLoader.

My problem here is that although my play_button does respond to events, I can't seem to set its properties such as _visible, when I trace out this property I get "undefined" returned.

Here's some code...

private function onLoadInit() : Void {
	video_form["video_player"].stop();
	video_form["play_button"].onRelease = OnPlayReleased;
}
	
private function OnPlayReleased() : Void {
	trace("Play released pressed");
	trace("play_button._visible: "+video_form["play_button"]._visible);
	video_form["play_button"]._visible = false;
	trace("play_button._visible: "+video_form["play_button"]._visible);
	trace("making play button invisible");
	video_form["video_player"].play();
}

Now, when my play_button is pressed, I do get traces output as the OnPlayReleased function requests, so I know it's bubbling through. the interesting thing is, that firstly, my play_button does not respond to its _visible property being set to false (both traces output undefined here). and my video_player does not start to play.

I can't work out why this would be the case, and I've played with writing this in another way but I have similar results, is it a question on scope here?

Any help and pointers would be really appreciated.

Cheers,

Ah crap, I always forget to Delegate, I simple need to change my onRelease call to

video_form["play_button"].onRelease = Delegate.create(this, onPlayReleased);

Oh well, it was a question of Scope after all, at least it's sorted.

Thanks for listening
