ActionScript 1/2 :: One Button To URL Works, Second Button Will Not?
Sep 26, 2011
I am relatively new to Flash CS5, using AS2. I have made two buttons on the same frame linking to two separate urls. I made them the exact same way, however only one of them works when tested in the swf file. I put the buttons on two separate layers thinking that could have been a problem, but it still won't work. There is no error, and when the house hovers over both buttons the finger shows, recognizing that it is a button. Only the second button will actually open up the webpage.

I have flip_mc which contains listSide_mc and videoInfoSide_mc both of the above mc's contain a button name spin_btn.My flip_mc should rotate around the y axis and swapping whichever of the 2 (listSide_mc and videoInfoSide_mc) should be visible.All the rotating and adding a child stuff works fine.BUT the whole flip_mc seems to be a button, the spinIt function runs when I click anywhere on the mc, it should only happen when I click the spin_btn buttons.[code]

OKay, I have a drop down menu. Around the menu I have a button surrounding the outside, so when I roll away from the drop down menu and roll over the outline button, it is coded with action script to make the drop down menu fade away.

Play animation and after clicking the button once it no longer works. The button takes you to the frame labeled "shake". I want it to continue to take you to "shake" each time it is pressed but its not.I've got a button inside of a movie clip - actually its inside of 2. The first MC runs through and stops on the stop(); frame and than you click the button that sends the play head to the frame labeled "shake" which plays the next MC with the same button inside of it. I have put the button's action on its own layer on the first frame. The length of that buttons timeline starting from the first action keyframe is the length of the time of the other 2 MC's.
The Code
mcButton.shakeButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void{

I created a button in flash. I gave it a different state for 'over' and 'down' - changing the color and scale respectively, so it looks depressed when you hit it.I then assigned an action to the button so that when it is 'hit' you are taken to another scene. However when you hit the button it goes to the scene but you lose out on the 'hit/depressed' part of the buttons state!? Why?
How do you keep the hit state intact with the button whilst simultaneously assign an action?I understant 'the action' is to go to another scene first, but can it not also show the 'hit state too?[URL]

I'm attempting to make a website, using flash with AS3. All of it's going pretty great, I'm somewhat tech savvy with the 3D rendering so alot of the concepts in flash are easy to pick up.
others.. not so much.Okay I don't know the proper setup in flash but I have one layer that has my background. one layer for my buttons. and another for my action script.
In my buttons layer I have a link to a pictures gallery, graphic design, a contact page and then back home button . The problem is, when I click the "contact" button, then click the home button, I can't click the contact button again. It won't work.
Frame 1:
Code:
contact.addEventListener(
MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
function(evt:MouseEvent):void {

I have a group of buttons that open a MC similar to opening a new window. Each "new window" has a close button that closes that window and goes back to the main window (the main timeline). The trouble is, the buttons to open the new window only work once. For example, if you click on "The Founders" the window opens then you click "close window" and "The Founders" button no longer works unless you refresh the page. I think it has something to do with the way I've coded the close button, but I'm not sure what exactly.[code]

When you click on it, the garage door opens and a tool chest emerges. The tool chest has the word close on top.When you click the close button it returns to the garage and the door closes. If you click on the garage door again nothing happens. This issue came about when I created a button out of the arrow on the road as a secondary button to open the garage door It has a broad hit area but doesn't overlap the garage door.The garage door plays the first part of an animation

I have a presentation I created in Flash CS4 for work. Everything is working fine except for the stop button. The presentation has music that plays along with the movie and needs to be synced to it. When you click the stop button the first time, the movie stops and the music starts over. When you click it again, the music stops. I need it to work so that the stop button only has to be clicked once and both stop together. I should also mention that my boss is set on having the music and movie play automatically when you click the link to the presentation. Here is the code in ActionScript 3:
var music:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("sound.mp3"));
var sc:SoundChannel = music.play();
var isPlaying:Boolean = true;
var pos:Number = 0;

I recently made a simple Flash file with video with an alpha channel and three simple buttons. It's a site tour video, and there's a button in the lower right to exit the tour that takes you back to home page. When you move over the "Exit Tour" button, it transforms in size slightly to highlight it. However, PC users are telling me that they can't see the word "Tour" on the button, only "Exit" until you move over the button, then they can see both words. The button functions perfectly on a Mac. Also I've been told that the video often appears choppy and sluggish on PCs, and not Macs. I'm encoding and streaming on flash media server - 400kps, CBR with alpha channel encoded, size 880x512. This is put on a stage size of 980x667 in Flash - is this is just too big of a window for streaming to handle? I have attached some files for reference.

i have an issue with a button that, when clicked should make a loader component with a flashpaper object unload its movie and then set that loader's visibility to false.the button works fine if clicked once, however if you click it again it doesn't seem to be doing anything.. i have a feeling it has something to do with the flashpaper object (which is still buggy as hell... try editing _xscale on one of those things in a function call and watch it dance) cannot figure out why the on (release) event can't be called twice.. do i need to do something like reset the button state or something?

I used as usual: this.menu_buttons_mc.menu_01_mc.menu_01_btn.onRele ase = function ()
{ trace ("this.menu_buttons_mc.menu_01_mc.menu_01_btn.onRe lease CALLED");}; But problem ist : it works only for one btn. Why? Try click the second flake from above and see AS layer please. I think it would be easy for you but diffic. for me.

[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).

I am placing several AS3 buttons (actual buttons not event-laden MCs)on a Flash stage and want my enlarged rollover images to always come to the front of all other dormant buttons.My script-fu is weak,but piecing together the advice from several helpful posts I have generally learned how to set the childindex on a rollover event to be high enough to go to the fore.I plugged in the appropriate language in my action frame and was psyched to see that the coding worked...but only briefly.After just a few clicks (it seems that whenever a button is hit for the second time), not only did the childindex trick stop working, but the buttons (which act to send the user to labeled frames later in the time-line) stopped working altogether.It seems that the issue is definitely related to the setting of the childindex, because when I remove those event listeners/commands,the buttons all work fine for an infinite number of clicks (but the enlarged rollover images are stacked in one static sequence, blocking each other out).Is there something inherently incorrect about this approach?Something simple that I am overlooking? Some way to reset the process on each click so it does not get gummed up (I tried re-setting childindex #s to 0 on rollout or on click, but it did not help)?
I have had it suggested that rearranging the order is destroying ability to recognize mouse events...but not sure if this is correct, what it would mean.The code that I am using for each button (for setting the depth and for redirecting on click) is below,

Whenever I remove an event listener to a button then that button no longer works. Does it cause memory leaks to not remove these listeners.....come to think of it I have about 30 eventListeners that I cannot remove otherwise the application ceases to function correctly. Is my application a memory black hole? How should i proceed with garbage collection?

I have a menu button. When this button is pressed the drop down menu appears. The whole actual functioning menu works great as it is fairly simple to create, but what I can't get to work is a button within the menu that drops down.I first saw this example in a flash movie I downloaded here and have attempted to basically recreate it, except to not use action script on the buttons themselves, but rather from the main time line for good coding practice.As you can see pressing the green button after the menu appears does nothing instead of tracing "works".

I have a button in a Flash project I've made. It's used to jump to another place on the root timeline, labelled "Why". It used to work perfectly.I have now placed the button inside a movie clip (it has to be in an animated sequence), but now it no longer works. It appears to work fine, the rollover state works and all. But when clicked it does nothing.The code I use to work the buttons goes on the main timeline, the code for this button is:mc_anim_backdrops_menu.btn_subsection1.onRelease = function() { gotoAndStop("Why"); _global.swfloaded = "";}Why does it no longer work? and what can I do to fix it?The question is posted here over at Experts Exchange URL...what we've tried there is tracing the problem. The code seems to be pointing to the right place, but none of the actual function works.. as you'll be able to see if you open up the attached file (and change it's extension from .txt to .fla to get it working)

I have a files that is loading and parsing a huge amount of data from a csv file and creating and plotting a graph using the data. All is well if I have the file loaded on the first frame of the movie. But if I pass in the URL by entering the file name in a text input field and clicking a button. The X and Y axis values disappear as do intermittent notes placed above the bar graph. I still see the x and y axis and it's hash marks and the bar graph (shapes) but all of the text is gone.
