I have completed my first Flash 8 movie which has an invisible button the size of the image which Stop/starts the movie with AS toggle script below.
[CODE]...
Can this script be modified so that the movie fades to alpha zero a short time after the stop action, and the re-appears to play instantly when the play action is triggered?
I have 5 buttons that need to, when clicked fade the image in the background out and fade a new picture in. each of these buttons has a specific image related to it. how can i achive this smooth transition in and out for all of the buttons?
View 1 RepliesI have 3 buttons going around in a circle, in the middle of this circle I want a specific image to fade in for each button when you roll across it then fade out when you move off the button. I also want the button itself to change colour slightly when you roll across it. I've not had much look so far without the use of actionscript, but even with using it I'm not getting very far, I also seem to have a problem where once I have an image appear on the rollover of abutton that the image becomes part of the button, ie instead of the image just appearin when you roll over the button it appears when you roll over where the image should be appearing.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to add a button to every image loaded from an xml file, so that when the image is rolled over the button does something on top of it.
I have made the button and given it the linkage id of thumbOver.
[AS]
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
[Code]....
The thumbnails come up fine, but the button doesnt make a showing and i cannot see why not.
I have a video and background music in one flash file. I need the background music to fade out when the video is playing, and fade back in when the video is paused. Everything works fine until the Music On/Off button is inserted.If you try out the attached FLA, the background music is able to fade out when the video is played and fade in when the video is paused. But once you toggle the Music On/Off button, the background music fade in/fade out doesn't work anymore.
View 2 RepliesIn an earlier post I mentioned I had solved my problem of finding out how to make an image fade in and out when a button is rolled over.I used this code:
image.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, imageOver);
image.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, imageOut);
function imageOver(event:MouseEvent):void{[code]....
Where the button is a movie clip containing a layer of stop actions, a layer of labels, and the image which fades in and out using a Tween and Alpha combination.It works great when the mouse rolls over the button, however if I roll over the area where the image fades in and out, the image will also appear! It's almost as though the 'hit' area is both the button and the image but I am unsure how to change this.
So im using CS5, and i have a very basic script which makes an image appear when a button is clicked, ie click button1, and pic1 shows. click button2 and pic2 loads etc.
The script i have is this:
stop();
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showpic1 );
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showpic2 );
[Code]...
How can i make each image fade in from 0 to 100 opacity, in for example 1 second (time isn't that much of an issue)
I have a tweened movie which plays on a loop. A click on the image area stops the movie and the image fades nicely from alpha 100 to alpha 0. A second click brings the image back immediately to alpha 100 and the clip continues. I would like the movie image to fade back in from alpha0 to alpha 100 before it re-starts; (the reverse of the fade out). At the moment the re-appearence of the image is a crude jump. So far my ill informed tinkering has not worked.

I would like to create a flash movie that loops through 11 dynamic images continually with a fade-in, fade-out each image.
View 2 Replies What I'm trying to do is have an image fade in, pause for 6 seconds and then fade out.My 6 seconds is doing something, but it's not what I want it to do and I'm not sure why. Here's my code:

I have a series of buttons inside an array. I am trying to get the buttons so that once they are pressed, they remain in the over state. Which is a darker color than the up state. So that people know which button they have pressed. Is there an easy way to do this for buttons?
View 1 RepliesI have 2 buttons on the stage whose each MouseEvent load a different external swf when clicked. In an attempt to get the current swf to fade out and new swf to fade in on button click, I vainly added a Tween to the function but to no avail.
As it is now, when the movie starts, the button 1 swf fades in, however, when button 2 is clicked, the new swf is loaded but the old swf does not fade.
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var image:Loader = new Loader();

Does anyone know how to do this rollOver effect? [URL] Enter flash site and look at the rollOver buttons. I have the bar moving over each button but can't get it to fade out.
View 10 RepliesI'm new to flash and just need to do a simple task but I can't manage to get it to work. I'm trying to import a video (flv) into a SWF container and need to AS functions which should be exposed to JS (using liveconnect or anything else). These two function should toggle sound on/off and toggle play/pause. I dont need any user interface or a full featured player, just these two functions.
View 1 RepliesI'd like to learn how to use Components in Flash, and the documentation and tutorials I find are beyond my comprehension. I usually go to FlashKit and just rehash someone's code... but again, I'd love to learn how to use Flash Components.So I did a tutorial on the toggle button, but it was:1. Click button, and a window pops up at different location on canvas2. Click button again, and the same window dissapears.This is for a videogame, and I'd like a button to be click and that same button be populated with a new graphic. What I mean is, the graphic is a skull, and I'd like to have it start as a dark skull (as if a negative value) and when you click it the skull appears... click it again and it's gone (or that negative or dark skull representing it's off).So this differs from the tutorial I did because the pop-up window is the button itself, and the window that pops up would obstruct me from click it again.
View 3 RepliesI can't figure out how to get a button to toggle between to functions?It has to be more simple than an if()...else().. statement right?example:
myBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, what goes here?);
/* if the MOUSE_UP event is called and the chalkboard is blank, then write to the chalkboard
else erase the chalkboard */[code].......
I'm simply creating a button in flash that should alternate between a 'play' graphic (i.e. > ) and a pause graphic (i.e. || ) every time its clicked. That's all!
In shockwave I would simply type a line of code that would set a new memberNumber or memberName to swap the graphics on mouseUp. How do I do it in Flash? I called a friend and he though I had to do something like create a movieClip inside a button or vice versa. It all seems rather complicated for such a simple task.
What would be the best way to make a toggle button -- like one where you switch it on, and it stays on until you switch it off. I have two jpegs one for on and one for off.

I need to add text on screen (for hearing impaired) to a simple movie I created. I just need to have text toggle on and off. I don't know how to actionscript the mc or button. Working in F8, publishing to F6.I did see the visibility on/off rollover thread... but I'm not actionscript saavy and can't make the leap to an onpress or onrelease button, rather than a rollover.

View 3 RepliesJust starting to wrestle with flash again, and i am trying to make a very simple website. I have made a graphic that will appear as the intro / splash page, and i want this to fade in... then appear as normal.

View 15 Repliesi have a set of images which i've converted to mcs and have given them all different instance names. The first image motion tweens to the right of the screen via actionscript and then the next one will motion tween from the bottom of the screen to the top and then the image after that will go to the right of the screen and next one goes to to the top, and so on. I have this actionscript for the first image,

I need the next image to start motion tweeing up to the top of the screen right when the first image starts fading out. Then when the second images starts fading out the next image is already motion tweening to the right of the screen and so on. Once every image has run through its tween everything repeats. Is there any way of doing this?

I would like to toggle my boolean value when I click my button. My boolean var looks like this: var playAllOn:Boolean = false; Then I have a button that calls a function to set the playAllOn to the boolean value it currently is not. So, if for example if playAllOn is false, I would like to call:

I know I could do this with an ifStatement in the myToggleBtn.onRelease, but am wondering if there is a better more efficient way to write this. Something like setPlayAllBtn(!= playAllOn); <!-- Obviously that one does not work...
I'm trying to make the code below reusable. I need multiple toggle buttons in my flash project. Right now the code below works on one button. If I continue and create more buttons, and follow the format below, I would need to create separate functions for each button.
I would like to put the reusable code in a separate ActionScript file and not in the FLA file. I am trying to put the rolloverToggle, rolloverToggle, and toggleClick in a class that I'm making.[code]...
Code:
on (press) {
if(srchMC._visible)
[code]......
I want to put another MC in place of the srchMC, by toggling with this same button. Can I do that? Would I just change the else statement to say MC2._visible=true; Also, when test the file is there a way to have the MC's hidden when the file loads, until the button is pressed? Is that an OnLoad statement?
On the website that Im creating, I have a page of musical samples that each have their own play/stop toggle button. So far it's working alright, but there are some other things I would like it to do.1) At the moment, you can only press play once. If you stop the file then press play again, the following error comes up:
Error: Error #2037: Functions called in incorrect sequence, or earlier call was unsuccessful.
at flash.media::Sound/_load()
at flash.media::Sound/load()
at content_fla::3b_45/toggleClick1()
2) I would love it when the piece finishes, that the stop function kicks in and the toggle button goes back to the 'off' state.
3) At the moment I'm using the
import flash.media.SoundMixer;
SoundMixer.stopAll();
function to stop the track. There are multiple tracks and toggle buttons on the page,CODE (for button one only - all the other buttons have the same text, but with the number 2 after each function):
//Button 1
// Add Listeners
m1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, rolloverToggle1);
m1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, rolloutToggle1);
