I am attempting to create an interactive piano. Right now, I have my keys layed out and each key is a button. On the down frame of that button is where the sound plays. What I want to do now is to allow the user to press a button and when they do so, the down frame of that button will trigger, thus playing the sound.
View 1 RepliesI'm making a Flash piano for a school project and I've got everything working perfectly except for the keystrokes.The piano keys are button symbols.When I click on the C button on the virtual piano, it plays a C note and presses down the button.When I press the "a" key on my keyboard, it plays a C note but doesn't press down the button.How can I get it to look like the mouse clicked it when I press "a"? This is what I have on the key right now (and bare with the simple coding; my teacher doesn't do anything harder than what's below):[code]

View 3 RepliesI have a button (instance is called resbutton) and I would like it to play a specific frame (frame 13) when clicked on. Flash says I cannot add actions to the buttin itself so I made an Actionscript layer and so far just have:
resbutton onPress
Im using AS3 - what goes next?
I'm working on the timeline and have movieclips on each frame. Each movieclip should play completely before moving to next frame. Once the movieclip is completed playing, I'd like to set up a keyboard event that allows for movie to go to next frame onKeyUp.This is the code I have but it's not working ... I'm getting jumbled results. I know this should be simple enough, but oh well.
stop();
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
var keyListener = new Object();
[code].....
I'm trying to do something like this, but keyRelease doesn't exist I think.
on (keyRelease "<Right>") {
nextFrame();
}
I just want it to go to the next frame on the time line when the right key is released.
I need to create a simple presentation that displays a bunch of photos.I want to be able to hit the space bar to advance to next picture.I am able to stop the playhead at the picture, but i want to advance to next labelled frame by hitting the space bar.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make a movie clip play with an off-screen button that activates it by using a key. The instance name for the movie clip is "leftbuzzerlights" and the key that's supposed to play the clip is the letter "Z". Here's the code:

on (keyPress "z") {
leftbuzzerlights.play();

i need script on button.. onKey press, but i need button like "escape, F12, etc.." ( on press moviego to next frame )..
View 1 RepliesI've got this piece of code which is basically a start button that reacts to being clicked on. I'd like to change that into starting the function by pressing Enter on the keyboard. I'm having trouble figuring it out since the code is already in a function. How do I make it react to keypresses?

I'm making a screensaver which includes a game, when the .swf file is converted to screensaver format the only way to exit is to press Escape.
I was wondering if there is any way to simulate a keypress (Escape) when the user clicks a button so that I can also have Exit buttons?
[code]It works fine when I press the button but not when I press the enter key.Just to set the context I want users to be able to use enter to enter an answer into a grid before moving on to the next cell. My cells are all labelled A1, A2 etc so that I didn't get confused. As I am and will always be a newbie I couldn't figure out a function to do what I wanted so came up with what is probably a long winded way around: store the textfield instance name in an array and then call the item in the array in conjunction with setFocus - like I say it works when I click the button (which I intend to hide off screen).
View 10 RepliesI really just want to know how to trigger a function when my movie hits a certain frame.
I made a very simple flash show to try to illustrate my problem a little more clearly. I have a green and a gray button. Using the 'switch_buttons' command I turned the gray button invisible at the beginning. What I then want to happen is that on the 10th frame the green button will become invisible and the gray button will appear. But I haven't had any luck. It seems like I need to call a function to switch the buttons somehow.
I am trying to trigger a function when a MovieClip gets to a certain frame, and then have that function move the playhead in the parent movieclip.
The function is conditional and dependent on the Variable set in the Parent timline. Here is the function I have:
Code:
function habitatBG(event:Event):void {
if (habitat == "forest") {
MovieClip(parent).gotoAndStop("forest_critters");
[Code]....
How do I trigger this function when the playhead gets to a certain frame?
I am more towards the art end of the art - developer spectrum, but have some experience with Flash MX and I am making the somewhat painful transition to AS3I have some longish mcs with animation using guides.I am using frame labels in those mcs to trigger other animations with syntax like:
ActionScript Code:
if (mc.currentLabel == "label"){
//do something
[code]........
well i have a function written on frame one but i want it to get triggered on the on ClipEvent handler of a movie clip that is placed on frame 2. but it doesn't seems to work...
as on frame one
function textBoxVal() {
test2 = "hello";
}

I am in the final stages of building my new web site: http:[url]....On most of the pages in the portfolio there is a video "Commentary" link (top right corner).Each of the commentaries are flv called up by f.ex:
myMCL.loadClip("http:url.....);
Once the video is done playing, it fades to black.I would really like the flv to trigger an event to send the playhead to another frame and load another swf.I could use a pause command and let the main time line pause so many milliseconds and then proceed, but it is probably not consistent how long it takes each viewer to download the video and watch it.
I'm using TweenMax to play a movieclip in reverse with a CLICK:
Code:
import gs.TweenMax;
mAboutGlow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mClickAbout);
function mClickAbout(e:MouseEvent):void {
TweenMax.to(mBoxContact, 1, {frame:1});
}
How would I use MOTION_FINISH (or equivalent) to trigger a gotoAndStop after the movieclip has reverted back to frame 1?
Say I want to trigger an animation (i'm thinking about some kind of text appearing from the backround) when a button is clicked, how do I do this?

I'm trying to trigger this page turn event without having to click the page. I want it to go based on a timer event, where lets say after 30 seconds it turns the page. Unfortunately this is all in AS2, so I'm having trouble figuring out the correct way to go about doing this. function is called startFlip, and I need it to be enabled at 30 seconds instead of an on press function from the page button I originally had.
View 5 RepliesHow do you trigger the actions associated with a button
take for example a button called "buttonGo" that you have specific code in. When you click button b you also want buttonGo to execute its code.
I have music for my site that I want to load from an external file. The external file has a play and stop button in it (which work perfect). I can get the music to load if I make a button that triggers the loadMovie to happen, but can't figure out how to get it to loadMovie using a frame. Basically I just want the main site to load and I want the external music file to load automatically w/o pushing a button or anything. Here's the code I was trying, but the music controller and music never load into the main movie:
Code:
onClipEvent(load){
loadMovie("mcMusic.swf", "music_container_mc");
}
I tried that code on the music_container_mc movieclip but it does nothing.
I need several buttons to be within the one mc, having an action (zoom + scale) apply to all of them together.But each button should trigger a second mc that is not within the first mc. (because the second mc should be scaled and zoomed along with the first mc.)So: button placed within mc. What action script to assign to the button to trigger an event not within the mc. ?
View 2 Repliesi have a question, back in AS2 era, if i have an MC on the stage with function as below
mc.onRelease = function() {
trace("RELEASED");
};
i can actually add in another line
mc.onRelease()which will trigger my button event without me actually clicking on it.
I was wondering how can i achieve the same effect in as3?
because i am building a website, and i want the 1st button to trigger itself after it is created on stage.

I saw this done before and know it's possible... I just need some clarity as to the process.
Is it possible to trigger for example flash uploading button via javascript?For example I have made empty image wrappers and by clicking on them, they trigger flash button to open as select window.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to figure out a way to have a button basically trigger right arrow key when it is clicked.
View 2 RepliesI looked at the tutorial on gotoandlearn about it, and understood the concept, but it's in as3, and I'm trying to do this in as2.I have it so that the url changes, and the title changes. And when you click on the various buttons on my site..it registers in the browser..but the main purpose I can't get, namely, if someone clicks my about button, i want to trigger the about function.That is easy enough to do in flash, but how can I get it to trigger from the back or forward button. Or if someone goes to URL...I am not getting the key ingredient to make this happen. If I paste in URL...how is it to know to launch the about function?
View 3 RepliesI have button which works fine, but I want it to trigger another button on(rollover). So, when you rollover button 1, a second button will go into the "over" state.
Here's my code, which doesn't work:
Code:
on(press){
getURL("http://www.YourHomeResource.net/free.html", blank);

I guess I could turn the buttons into MC's for the action to take effect, but I've already made them all buttons.
