Question

I have this code in Actionscript 3, but have to write it in Javascript:

pressButton.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, press_button);  

function press_button (event:MouseEvent) :void 
{ 
       gotoAndPlay(2); 
}

I need for Createjs.

This site isn't about people writing/rewriting your code in another language, at least provide your own attempt first — Daniel Morgan

Also JavaScript doesn't have the concept of 'frames' built in. — Marty

3 things:

JS does not support typing (ex. event:MouseEvent)
EaselJS does not include event constants (ex. MouseEvent.CLICK)
you need to use explicit scoping in JS

So, you could rewrite it to this, using "bind" to establish your callback scope:

pressButton.addEventListener("click", press_button.bind(this));
function press_button(event) {
  this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

Or, you could take advantage of the "on" shortcut in EaselJS v0.7.0 to handle scoping:

pressButton.on("click", press_button, this);
function press_button(event) {
  this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

Still struggling! and more confused, maybe I didn't explain but the "pressButton is the name of the instance on the stage in Flash & "press_button" is the name of the function.
