detecting a held button 2004-03-07 - By Andreas Weber

Hi Richard,
As you are loading the data from a php file I can't simulate the behavior of
the code on my machine. All I can do is go through the code and _guess_ what
might cause problems.
That said, I think you should move all the code for the definitions of the
button handlers inside this loop:
myData.onLoad = function(succes){
if(succes){
for(var i=0; i<this.cant; i++){
this.ref["Title_txt"+i].htmlText = "<b>"+this["Title"+i]+"</b>"
// move all the code in here
};
};
As you have it now, all the code below this onLoad handler will actually
execute _before_ the data are loaded. Apart from that: outside the loop the
counter i will always have the same value, the handlers will - at best - get
attached to one button, the last one.
Secondly, if you have more than one button (and you seem to have many) the
'clicked' counter should be timeline variable of the button, not of the
timeline the button resides on (as it is now). Reason: currently all
handlers increment / set to 0 the same variable which will probably not give
the desired behavior. As it is very fast clicks on 2 different buttons would
be interpreted as a double click.
So you would have something like
this.ref["holder_mc"+i].clicked = 0;
to inizialize clicked as a variable of each button mc.
I would also suggest that you make the test function a function of each
button/mc
this.ref["holder_mc"+i].test2 = function(){
// function definition comes here
}
Hope this helps.
For debugging: put at least 10 traces all over your code to see where you
get undefined. (But be aware that you don't get any traces as soon as you
test in the Browser)
