Get Instance (Button) name

[ToshTrent]

Hi,

I've been trying to get the instance name of the button the user clicks on to help make my code easier to manage etc, how do i get the name of the button they have just clicked on?

I found this code in the flash help, but I can't seem to make it work for a single button, the code here gets the name of every button on the time line.

on (release){
for (i in this) {
if (this instanceof Button) {
trace(this._name);}
}
}

Your help would be much appriciated!

Give your button on stage a movie clip behavior (in the properties...) and apply this on the mc itself...

on (release) {
trace(_name);
}
