Question
How to detect on which movieClip an event has fired in as2. I have made a list of duplicate movieclips and want to add click event on each movieclip and distinguish on which movieclip event has fird. I know the solution in as3 but need as2 solution for it. Please, help.
Solution
In AS2, when you assigned a function say using myButton.onRelease = myFunction;
, within the function you can reference the caller simply using this
:
function myFunction() {
trace(this._name);
}
myButton.onRelease = myFunction; // will trace "myButton" when you click it
