Im trying to make a projector movie that links to a pdf (in the same folder) on a CD that needs to run in both windows and mac. Im able to get it to work on a pc but not on mac. here is the code for the button i used in the projector.
on (release) {
fscommand ("exec", "manual1.bat");
and bat file open a pdf file.so i want to do the same thing for mac, that is using the fscommand to open up a pdf in acrobat. I read messages here that use applescript but i dont understand it too well so what id like to know if possible is the applescript, what it does and do i apply it to the button in my projector or do i tell the button to look at the applescript or what? I guess thats it for now.
I found a cool menu that I'd like to be able to use but right now I don't know how to make the buttons become functional links. If its just a matter of editing the XML only? Or...does something need to be added to the actionscipt as well. I have a hunch both need to be edited and I have already tried various revisions. Below is the link where the example and files can be found. Be aware that if you try to use the actual files you will need an mc tween extension found at [URL].
Here is the XML code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<item nazov="button num 1 "load="" image=""/>
<item nazov="button num 2" load="" image=""/>
<item nazov="button num 3" load="" image=""/>
<item nazov="button num 4" load="" image=""/>

I have a movie clip with 15 frames. Each frame has buttons on it (mc's)... I was going to put the actions on the main timeline/stage and navigate within the MC from the main timeline. Is that possible? I can get the buttons on the first frame of the MC to work, but I can't seem to figure out how to target/make the buttons on the other frames work? I was thinking I could identify the path of the MC with the frame labels, but that doesn't seem to work. like: _root.RMChanger.(frame label).buttonOnFrame = function
I have to move a text box in and out over the MC backgrounds on the main stage... which is why I was thinking to do it this way? I've been switching back and forth bwtween AS2.0 and 3.0
I am a new comer to flash and I have been teaching myself actionscript 2.0 and I am now trying to move to action script 3.0 this seems a dumb question but for the life of me i can't figure out how to make my buttons work.i am trying to have the user click at button that connects to a movie clips and plays the movie, the movie stops then goes to the next frame of animation.
View 1 RepliesI have a 3 screen project and there are two buttons on each screen that have to be able to enable the user to jump to the appropriate screens when clicked on. I am totally new to flash and I have tried off and on for a couple weeks to figure this out in various books and online. I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
View 1 RepliesI have a movie clip with text and buttons in it linked to a scrollpane.The movie clip shows up just fine in the scrollpane, but the buttons won't work when clicked.If button script is in the main timeline, an error message says the buttons are an undefined property.If button code is in the movie clip timeline, there's no error code but the buttons simply don't work.
View 0 RepliesI have the following problem / bug:
I made a custom button-class (called CustomBlitButton) where a button is defined. The roll over-states of the button are defined inside of the class CustomScreen. That's because a custom screen holds one or more buttons. I can create a button when using the createButton-function of the CustomScreen-class.
So if I want to make a screen with a menu, i.e. several buttons I do this like that (this is just an excerpt):

I have buttons inside/on window01/mc that are still active/clickable when the opacity is 0, I basically have a area on my website that if you click it opens the window corresponding to the button. how do I stop this? I only want the buttons to work when window01 is opacity 100.

just click in the blank black area below the nav bar and the window will appear. The normal way to get to this window is click products than the buttons.
Code:
import gs.TweenLite;
btn06.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,f2);
function f2(e:Event){
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.jmoneyaudio.com/"), "_self");

I have a container mc called lightBoxCont that I load a class into
Code:
lbx.initLightBox(12, Number(slideIndex), urls, titleText);
lightBoxCont.addChild(lbx);
when the user clicks on a thumbnail the user can close the lightbox by clicking on a button like this
Code:
this.removeChild(lightBoxCont);
This all works (or seems to). If the user then clicks on another thumbnail the light box appears again, but the buttons don't work. These were added in the class lightbox.
Interestingly if I trace teh number of children that lbx has I find that each time the user presses on a thumbnail it goes up. First time its about 30, next time its about 60, next time its 90 and so on.I think this is causing the problem with the buttons not working.
I am trying to make an index page with buttons for a photography site.the entire page is built in flash so far. I have created a drop down menu that is a Movieclip with 5 buttons.I can not seem to assign an external web page to each buttons that are under the movie clip drop down menu. Is this a possible? The Movie clip is run by mouse-over the word "studio Gallery" button. This drops down the 5 gallerbuttons (Portrait, children, wedding, Artistic Babies, etc...). In Flash 8 Pro I know I can assign an external web page named children on the main page but how do I assign these to the buttons in the drop down once the movieclip is made. Is this where I need to use folders with extra layers in the folder to make it work?
View 6 RepliesI just started using flash and Im hoping someone with more experience can help me out. When I add the stop code to frame one to stop the timeline on my homepage, the buttons Ive set up in my navigation bar do not work. But, if I do not have the stop code in the timeline, the buttons will work correctly. Without the stop code, though, obviously the whole timeline plays through and doesn't stop on the homepage, which is not desirable. So how do I stop the timeline on the homepage and still have my buttons work?

I'm making my website at the moment. I made a little mill which goes around, in there I made a movieclip which has two frames, one with links and one without. I made it so that if you are staying on it (rollover) it stops and you can click the links but the links don't work. this is the fla file:

I'm currently doing a spot of error checking with a website I've made. I've found a few problems with linking from action script to an external xml document when the files are uploaded on to a server (The files work just fine off line). The site is [URL], the pages in question are the blog page [URL] Again, both seem to work fine when I preview them locally. The blog page links to an rss feed on a myspace page and the sounds page should display an mp3 player and link to an xml playlist. I've searched this forum for similar problems and found some suggestions (File sizes of content to load and file structure) but neither seem to be responsible for this problem.

I have an swf that I created that contains links to other pages on our site. I can test this and it works fine. However, I then import that swf into my main fla's library. However, after I add it to the stage I test the main movie and the links that worked before in the imported swf no longer work. This seems like it should be a no brainer but for some reason it just isn't working.

I have a flash accordion embedded using SWFObject. The SWF and related XML file are hosted on one domain. I have about 10 sites embedding this SWF from it's hosted location, both the SWF and the XML. The accordion links to various pages of my domains. The domain in which the SWF and XML file are hosted, the links work as expected. The other domains that the SWF is not hosted on, the links do not work at all. I verified it's a cross domain issue by placing the SWF and XML files locally on each domain and they worked, but this is not how I want it setup. I attempted to use crossdomain.xml and allow access from all hosts but that didn't work either.
