ok i have a button that then you rollover it it displays text.. and when you rollout it makes the text disappear.. and if you were to press then realase the button it shows an image... but the problem is after you release the button and then rollout it gets rid of the image and shows the text disappearing... how do i go about fixing that?

Code:

on (rollOver) {
	tellTarget ("/screen_mask"){
		gotoAndPlay ("wallpaper");
	}
}
on (rollOut){
	tellTarget ("/screen_mask"){
		wallpaper.gotoAndPlay ("wallpaperout");
	}
}
on (release){
	tellTarget ("/screen_mask"){
		wallpaper.gotoAndPlay ("playwallpaper");
	}
}

The problem is, that the button does not record whether or not you have rolled over, out, or released and tell it to the other functions.

So basically, even though you have pushed and released, it still will do the rollout animation regardless of the release animation.

I am also confused as to why you are using tell target and a mask? I think these may be redundant components.

Depending how complicated you want it, i would just make two buttons that are identicle, exepcept that one has the roll out, over script and the other doesn't. But the one that doesn't underneath the one that does have it, so you can't see it.

This way, on release, still use the image script but also use buttonwithscripts._visible = false
so to the user it will look like the image appeared an nothing else, but what really happened is the button dissappeared and an identicle one is behind it without the rollour script!



I also have another way to do it, if you want to get more complicated.

Like sketchbookjack said you whould need a variable to store whether the button was pressed or not, and depending on the variable you can play the rollOut animation:

Actionscript:

on (rollOver) {
	tellTarget ("/screen_mask"){
		gotoAndPlay ("wallpaper");
	}
}
on (rollOut){
	if (pressed != true) {
		tellTarget ("/screen_mask"){
			wallpaper.gotoAndPlay ("wallpaperout");
		}
	}
}
on (release){
	pressed = true;
	tellTarget ("/screen_mask"){
		wallpaper.gotoAndPlay ("playwallpaper");
	}
}
