Creating dynamic buttons with pictures on them

Question

Hi there,
What is the procedure for doing so?
I need to create 5 buttons which looks the same, and each one of them has a picture on it.
I'm new to Flash/Action Script.
I created a button symbol, named it and created linkage to AS.
I also created a MovieClip that holds the picture I want to put on top of the button and created a linkage.
Then in the code I create two instances and display them
This is the code:
public function setBBWBtnProp(btn:btnChoose, tmb:MovieClip, idx:int)
     btn.height = 120;
     btn.width = 120;
     btn.x = 20;
     btn.y = 15 + 140 * idx;
     tmb.x = btn.x + 5;
     tmb.y = btn.y + 5;
var btn1:btnChoose = new btnChoose();
var tmb1:mvBBW02Thumb = new mvBBW02Thumb();
setBBWBtnProp(btn1, tmb1, 0);
ph.addChild(btn1);
ph.addChild(tmb1);
Now, it works but the movieclip blocks the button...
Any idea how to do it correctly...

Answer 1

I'm only an intermediate scripter, but in my experience it seems like it's a mistake to mix coding with buttons. Instead use a movie clip and assign listeners to it.
look up functions like the onese I use below
actorButton is my movie clip
private function registerMyButton(){
            actorButton.buttonMode = true;
            actorButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, reportClick);
function reportClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
            var thisPage = myImgData.web_page_str;
            var targetURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(thisPage);
            navigateToURL(targetURL, "_self");
hope that helps
