Mouse events
The following list contains the ActionScript codes for common mouse events for
the desktop. Use these codes when you create your listener, and make sure that
you pay attention to lowercase and uppercase letters. For most users, the first event
( MouseEvent.CLICK ) will be sufficient for all projects. That event happens when
the user presses and releases the mouse button.

MouseEvent.CLICK
MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE
MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN
MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP
MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER
MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT
For a complete list of all the events available for a button, check out the Flash Help
files and look for the Events of the SimpleButton class.
P Note: The void
term refers to the data
type that is returned
by the function. Void
means that nothing is
returned. Sometimes,
after functions are
executed, they “return”
data, such as doing
some calculations and
returning an answer.
4 On the next line of the Script pane, type
function restaurant1(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(10);
}
The function called restaurant1 contains instructions to go to frame 10 and stop
there. The code for your button called gabelloffel_btn is complete.
P Note: Be sure
to include the final
curly bracket for each
function, or the code
won’t work.
5 On the next line of the Script pane, enter additional code for the remaining
three buttons. You can copy and paste lines 2 through 5, and simply change
the names of the button, the name of the function (in two places), and the
destination frame. The full script should be as follows:
stop();
gabelloffel_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
restaurant1);
function restaurant1(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(10);
}
