Hi,

I have a set of buttons on screen but want to check if the user clicked
anywhere else on screen and if so issue a prompt to tell them to click
on one of the buttons.

Do I have to set up the whole screen as a button too?

Cheers

Kol

Forgot to mention I'm using AS 2.0 for this.

I'm thinking along the lines of:

check if the mouse button is pressed and use the switch statement to
action any button presses with the 'default' option to be actioned if no
matching button presses were recognised....

anybutton(onPress)????
(use a listening event???)

switch (anybutton)
case btn1:
//button one clicked
do something
break
case btn2:
//button two clicked
do something else
break
default :
//this is the click anywhere else on screen case
show a prompt on screen to tell user to ckick on buttons
break

Just can't get my head round the actual code at the moment!!!

hope you can help

cheers
