One if the reasons I used Flash 5 for my personal company website was the really simple programming through action script buttons an fill-out-forms (you know: Gotoandplay, fill out this, click there and so on ...).Im a good artist but im terrible att programming! Anyways now I got one of the latest versions of Flash and action Script is definatelly still there but in soooo many versions and and those action script buttons and fill-out-windows are not there any more, so Im lost! I dont have Flash 5 anymore otherwise I would use it.
Is there a button somewhere so I can get back my "useless newbie action script buttons"? Or what should I do?
Anyways I am using action script 3.0 and I created multiple layers using just one scene. I created a layer with lables on them to mark where I want my buttons to point to and go to. I have the stop (); on the first frame. And I made my buttons mostly interactive with movie symbols and tweens.My first scene I have 2 doors, the user can pick which door to go to and it takes them into a different path.I made the buttons that are clicked to go forward, and then I tried to make an invisible button on the button edge of the scene to go backwards However, the PROBLEM is when I click my button to go backwards I am stuck on the first page and can't move forward.
function gotoOne(evt:Event):void{ gotoAndStop("one")}backbutton1.addEventListener("click",gotoOne); function gotoFour(evt:Event):void{
I have multiple frames with stop-points and labels on my timeline and an action where if the user holds down the button for >1 sec it will go to one frame, if <1 sec it will "gotoAndPlay" a warning animation. after that animation plays i want them to be sent back to the initial frame that they were previously in.
I have 36 buttons I need action on. To avoid a lot of similar commands, I am trying to assign the button names in an array using a for loop. Tracing the array values, gives the correct button names, but there is no action when I press the buttons.Here is the code:
var farge_btn_tbl:Array = new Array(4); // Array assigning button instance names (works fine) var farge_fr_tbl:Array = new Array(4); // Array assigning frame label names
Can someone tell me how to make 2 different objects/buttons do the same action?I am building a band flash site.I have a music player with basic controls/buttons: stop, play, pause and volume bar.I have a video section and few videos in it. (They are on youtube and I am using this lightbox script for flash to activate them so they play on top of the site / not going on youtube).I want to make that video thumbnail link automatically stop the music (or pause it) and also to open video: I've tried some stuff but I am not too good at coding.[code]
Situation is I got a Mc called "thumb" which I am duplicating like this bellow
[Code]....
Now I need to make make these thumbs clickable for different action. Like if I click on "this.thumb3" it will return "3"; This problem was solved at this forum before but when actionscript.org was attacked by some hacker that post was lost. All I can remember that I got a code like bellow
i have a buttons name list1, list2, list3 .... and so on and movieclips playlist1 , playlist2 .. and so on basically what i want to do is assign same action in the buttons, the code above is what i did and it doesn't work
I am currently having a problem adding the Tell Target action to a button. The following is the hierarchy of my timeline: -Root ---Movie Clip (Instance Name="FadeIn") ------Button (Instance Name="Button") ----------Movie Clip (Instance Name="About")
The Movie Clip I'm trying to control is "About". This MC is also placed within the 'Over' state of "Button". I keep receiving the Target Not Found error in Base="_level0.FadeIn".
Ok Im trying to use flash to call up a java script window I have two buttons to open 2 different windows on the same page but the problem is for some reason only one link is opened by the two buttons. Each button opens the montage link any help as to why the mogo button dosn't open the right link? Below is all my code
I'm trying to pause a movie using a stop action. I'm using a button to do this. This is in the actionscripting attached to the button. on (press) { stop(); } The button is in the main movie so I don't get why it's not working. I'm also trying to add a button next to it that would play the movie, after pausing it.
I am building a image presenter in Flash with as3 but i need a piece of code to make the two buttons work correctly. The code i have is as2 and i get 10 errors using it.[code]
as a follow-up to my question earlier. Where would I be able to locate the transition script so that I can delete it alltogether and allow users to navigate with solely the previous and next action buttons. (And what verbiage [more or less] am I looking for)?
I've got a movieclip with an rollover function. The movieclip has buttons inside, but they don't work. The action applied to the movieclip is the the scale (I'm using Tweener to make the scale action).
Any hints for making magnetic buttons/mc? i.e. buttons/mc's float randomly around stage. When the mouse is within a certain range/distance the buttons speed up towards the mouse's position. When the user moves the mouse off the button again, it carries on it's random motion again.
I am making a test that when you hit next it goes to a specified frame and if you hit back it goes back to the previous specified frame. The code works when I go through the code once all the way forward and back but once I try to move forward again it skips over all the inbetween pages and ends at the final page. The back button code works fine it is only the NextBt code that isn't working right.
The tutorial uses a multiline textbox to display data from MySQL but I wanted to know how I would code if I used a SINGLE LINE textbox and added a BACK AND NEXT BUTTONS to show one record at a time.
I need to know how to use the Back/Foward buttons with IE. I have a movie that has several frames. Each frame is a section of the page. If you go to a different section of the page, I want to be able to use the back button to go back to the previous section you were at. I have searched around and found this, but it is of little help to me. I don't know anything about how to use Javascript and flash. URL] I have heard rumors that there is a way to do this with named anchors?

I have recently been asked to design a website in Flash, although I have done quite a few webpages using flash I have never used the swfaddress method to enable browser buttons, and for the past year i have only don't html site. For some reason none of the source files I download are working, the demo works from the site but the source files don't (for example [URL].. I don't know if I'm just forgetting somthing or what my issue is. Another odd thing is I can't seem to open the [URL]..

I have three buttons on screen that navigate to different places on the timeline. I have set them all up as buttons using a generic button in the library and then given them all different instance names. I selected the button and changed the text colour for each state in the timeline (up, over, down) to keep it simple. The buttons are all, as far as I can analyse, identical in all but instance name.
When I test the movie, the first button changes text colour on 'over' and, when I click (i.e. down state) the colour changes again as designed. The navigation action doesn't occur until I release the mouse button, giving the feel of having 'clicked' the button.
With the other two buttons, which have been set up as far as I can tell in exactly the same way, when the down state occurs, I see a momentary flash of the text colour change and it performs the nav straight away. I really want it to perform the same way as the first button but cannot for the life of me see why they're behaving differently.
Thought I would give more info on my problem creating a button in Flash CS 4 AS 3. I have an intro page that users see when they type in my url. On the intro page I have a ENTER BUTTON that takes the user to my homepage and the enter button works fine. Here is the AS for the enter button:
The buttons in the flash movie also link to movie frames in the flash and external html pages. Once movie plays and stops, all links work fine, the links to the anchors and the links to the other html pages, however when I try and link back to the flash movie from an external html page, to specific frames in the flash movie, the html link will link back to flash movie frame fine, however once your back in the flash movie, none of the buttons in the movie work anymore.I have embedded the flash movie in an HTML and published it with anchors,"home, about, events etc.used this code for several buttons in the flash linking to frame anchors in the movie:
/////////////////////////// home_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, handler); function handler (event:MouseEvent):void
I am an extreme newbie at Flash and AS3.I've just been reading all I can this past week and trying to put together what I had hoped was a simple project in flash for our Website banner. I'll try to describe my project and the part that I am stuck at.[URL]..
You'll see a large green banner near the top of the page that advertises one of our products. In Flash, I have created a rotating banner with five images like the one shown on our site. I have it rotating on an 8-second basis, and I have it so that when someone clicks on my invisible button (the whole banner part) that it goes to that product's web page. I've also added five small buttons in the bottom right corner, so that someone can hover over them and go back to one of the rotating images if they missed what was shown, etc.
I have figured out how to create the buttons and have them shown red, when hovered on each layer. The part that I am stuck at, is I don't know how once I write my action for each button, to have them link back to one of these rotating banner images. I know this is possible, I just don't know AS3 or any programming for that matter to understand what my options are for the function script. I have each one set up as an instance so that I can add the EventListener when they click on it, I just don't know what to put other than a URL, since that is all I am familiar with. If you know how to get me to link my project to this forum so you can see the actual project,
I have a project I've been working on that, when properly coded, has a "main menu" with 4 "doors" (buttons). When the corresponding buttons to these "doors" are clicked, it should go to and play an external .swf file.If that doesn't make sense, think of a DVD menu. You click play movie, it plays the movie. When the movie is over, there's two buttons on that swf file to either play the movie over or go back the main menu, which is an external .swf file (Remember, we go to the movie from the menu, which is a seperate file). So far, the buttons work. The menu works. However, from the movie, at the conclusion, when I click the button to go back to the main menu, it displays the movie clip and the buttons, but none of the buttons work. I'm starting to think it has to do with the fact the main menu was written in AS3 and the movie was made in AS2. If anyone can assist me in being to able to keep both files and still navigate between the two, being able to bring up the menu from the movie and be able to play the movie again, and so on and so on. Here's the code for main menu, which I guess acts as the parent file, and the movie. If I get this to work, I essentially would duplicate the same actions for the other 4 doors, once I complete the environments for them.
Main.Fla/Swf (written in AS3)
(This is the action on the first frame, that has all the buttons. For this question, I'm just trying to properly code for 'Door4', which is the "door" to the movie.)
import flash.display.Loader; stop(); var myLoader1:Loader=new Loader ();[code].....
