Re: [Swftools-common] Placing an object

Hum, very cool, help me a lot, I have just another question: is there
a way to put objects inside a button? I create a outline and filled it
with a gradient, I want to put a text inside it, now I know I can use
sprites to do this, but see my idea:

        .button btn1
            .show btn as=shape y=0 x=0
            .show btn as=hover y=0 x=0
            .text label1 font=impact size=100% color=red text="Some Label"
            .put label1 x=0 y=0
            .on_press:
                getURL("http://www.somesite.net/";, GET);
            .end
        .end

The "btn" object was define before and it is working without the
".text" instruction. I can do a sprite with the outline and the label
and then use it inside the button, but it will be easier to apply the
label inside the button.

Ah, how can I set a target in the getURL action script? I try something like:

     getURL("http://www.somesite.net/";, "_blank", GET); # doesn't compile
     getURL("http://www.somesite.net/";, GET, "_blank"); # compiles but
doesn't work

Thanks for all help
Regards,
