Well.. I don't know if u will understand what it is supposed to happen after
only reading this code :D but I will post it for ya:
First code where the first button is:
textA = ;
textB = ;
textC = ;

my1_btn.onRelease = function() {
    if (tick1 == 0) {
        if (CLT1Variable == 0) {

            _root.subSubButtons1_mc.CLT1FirstButtonAnimation1_mc.gotoAndPlay("slideRight"
);
            CLT1Variable = 1;
        } else if (CLT1Variable == 1 and
_root.subSubButtons1_mc.CLT1FirstButtonAnimation1_mc._currentframe>27) {
            _root.subSubButtons1_mc.CLT1FirstButtonAnimation1_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
            CLT1Variable = 0;
        } else {

            _root.subSubButtons1_mc.CLT1FirstButtonAnimation1_mc.gotoAndPlay("slideLeft")
;
            CLT1Variable = 0;
        }
    }
};
my1_btn.onRollOver = function() {
    my1_btn._name = "btn111";
    for (var j = 1; j<=textA.length; j++) {
        rclip = this;
        rclip.jvar = j;
        rclip.onPress = function() {
            if (tick1 == 1) {
                addText(this.jvar);
            }
        };
    }
};
function addText(j) {
    var removed = 0;
    if (buttonRangeRecognition == "btn11") {
        if (_root.tf.text.indexOf("\r")>=0) {
            newA = _root.tf.text.split("\r");
            for (var k = 0; k<newA.length; k++) {
                if (newA == textA) {
                    newA.splice(k, 1);
                    removed = 1;
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
        if (!removed) {
            _root.tf.text += textA+"\r";
        } else {
            _root.tf.text = newA.join("\r");
        }
    }
    if (buttonRangeRecognition == "btn12") {
        if (_root.tf.text.indexOf("\r")>=0) {
            newB = _root.tf.text.split("\r");
            for (var k = 0; k<newB.length; k++) {
                if (newB == textB) {
                    newB.splice(k, 1);
                    removed = 1;
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
        if (!removed) {
            _root.tf.text += textB+"\r";
        } else {
            _root.tf.text = newB.join("\r");
        }
    }
    if (buttonRangeRecognition == "btn13") {
        if (_root.tf.text.indexOf("\r")>=0) {
            newC = _root.tf.text.split("\r");
            for (var k = 0; k<newC.length; k++) {
                if (newC == textC) {
                    newC.splice(k, 1);
                    removed = 1;
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
        if (!removed) {
            _root.tf.text += textC+"\r";
        } else {
            _root.tf.text = newC.join("\r");
        }
    }
    my1_btn._name = "CLT1_btn";
}

This is the first button .. when u push it it goes back to the main
timeframe.. then goes first into one mc then into second mc in it and plays
animation which shows 3 buttons. After pushing one of them (on(release) {
gotoAndStop(furherframe) on the same timeframe it goes and stops on a frame
further where the next 3-5 buttons follow depending on what of the first of the
3 buttons has been pushed. There I put another script and here it is (IT IS
ONLY FOR THE FIRST FROM THE THREE BUTTONS CHOSEN) :

stop();
textA = ;
for (var j = 1; j<=textA.length; j++) {
    rclip = this;
    rclip.jvar = j;
    rclip.onPress = function() {
        addText(this.jvar);
    };
}
function addText(j) {
    var removed = 0;
    if (_root.tf.text.indexOf("\r")>=0) {
        newA = _root.tf.text.split("\r");
        for (var k = 0; k<newA.length; k++) {
            if (newA == textA) {
                newA.splice(k, 1);
                removed = 1;
                break;
            }
        }
    }
    if (!removed) {
        _root.tf.text += textA+"\r";
    } else {
        _root.tf.text = newA.join("\r");
    }
}

Here is for the second just in case:

textA = ;
for (var j = 1; j<=textA.length; j++) {
rclip = this
rclip.jvar = j;
rclip.onPress = function() {
addText(this.jvar);
};
}
function addText(j) {
var removed = 0;
if (_root.tf.text.indexOf("\r")>=0) {
newA = _root.tf.text.split("\r");
for (var k = 0; k<newA.length; k++) {
if (newA == textA) {
newA.splice(k, 1);
removed = 1;
break;
}
}
}
if (!removed) {
_root.tf.text += textA+"\r";
} else {
_root.tf.text = newA.join("\r");
}
}

Not big difference at all.
So when u push one of the last 3-5 buttons, all the buttons disappear and in
the textField I got the text I want displayed. U can freely add more and more
text from all the buttons and repeat them even. If u remove one all after him
goes back and so on.. I think if u understand this script u should know that. I
haven't written it.. so I don't fully inderstand it. What I think it is
happening is that when one of the last buttons is pushed it takes his name
especially the last number after btn + j ("btn" + j) . So j is the name of the
instance .. example btn1 . It takes the first value from the array. So all till
here is ok. But I want the things this way: when u pick a button and a text
appears in the textfield and all buttons disappear.. a tick is shown next to
the very first button u pushed which indicates u alreay have chosen an option
from all the suggestions. U can easily add more of the suggestions and remove
them anyway u want if the code stays like this, but I want when u push the very
first button.. to remove the tick which is easy and to remove the text from the
textfield which has been chosen.. so here one button has to play the role of
about 12 other buttons. At least I see it this way. In the code above I try to
make my1_btn._name = the button which was pushed. I used a variable and the
variable took the right value but .. I the name of the instance isn't changing
to it. If it did then The very first button could play the role of all 12
buttons in this script.
Ok I hope I am more clear now..
ok waiting for continue :D
