ActionScript 1/2 :: Bring Up The Actions Menu That Will Allow Me To Create A Link From My Buttons?
Feb 8, 2011
having previously made webpages just in html.I have a flash movie and wanted to add a series of links.I've made some buttons, but when I rightclick on them and go to actions, I don't get the 'basic actions>geturl' command that the help screens tell me I should have. I get some other crazy menu with options like 'Global Functions', 'Actionscript 2.0 Classes' etc.how I can bring up the actions menu that will allow me to create a link from my buttons?
if u click on all the buttons it will bring the content up but i only want one of the buttons to bring the content up. the experiments buttons should bring the content up... i send you the fla file?
I have 2 classes that deal with making my menu. One creates a button and the other creates a menu using the buttons. I have XML set up to set the text in each button. What I cannot figure out is the best way to have each button do something different. I do not have much time to complete the site so the way I thought about doing it was giving each of the buttons a name and setting that to what the text was inside the button. All this is happening in my menu class. [code]...
I'm trying to create a dynamic menu in Flash using PHP & MySQL and bring it into Flash using AS3 DataProvider. My menu works fine with a local Array, but I seem to have an issue with the Type being a String and not an Array, but how do I set it up properly so the types are correctSo I started with a typical, non-dynamic array and it works to create my menu:
Code: var items1:Array = [ {myClass:"SCI101", question:"What color is the sky?"}, {myClass:"MATH110", question:"What is the square root of 81?"},[code].....
okay so i am trying to create a menu system that contains 6 buttons and positioned in the center of the stage . the button originates from the Library as a single MovieClip and positioned dynamically but how do i add a roll over and link each 6 buttons to 6 different websites?
I have been trying to understand how to create a url link with the xml file that my menu is driven by. what I have is a menu with text amd images reading from an xml file, I have created a third text field which I would like to use as a button/link that when click it goes to a url.[code]but this doesn't seem to work, am I missing something within the flash movie.URL...
how to link the buttons in drop down menu to the content(scenes) within the flash file? The drop down menu has been made using the masks. Those buttons, which are not drop down/masked, work properly. Those which are drop down/masked, do not work. The content appears after clicking on them, then disappears when other (drop down) button is rolled over.
I've made a component based on a mx:TitleWindow that contains linkbuttons that I'm using as a context-menu. The TitleWindow component contains link buttons like this:
[Bindable] private var _showEmailThis:Boolean = false; [Bindable] private var _showApproveThis:Boolean = false; [Bindable] private var _showReviewThis:Boolean = false [Code] .....
This component contains a large number of links and is re-used by multiple modules in the same application. Within each module, this component is used when a user clicks on a row in a datagrid. The code looks like this:
In "Requests" module: private function dgRequests_click(event:MouseEvent):void { menu.showApproveThis = true; menu.showReviewThis = true; }
In "Performance" module: private function dgPerformance_click(event:MouseEvent):void { menu.showEmailThis = true; menu.showReviewThis = true; }
As you can see, the visibility of individual linkbuttons is controlled within each module by setting boolean properties. If I alter this component to use a renderer, how can I control the visibility of the linkbuttons from the code in each module (there are over a hundred links with different functionality - not every link will be used in each module)? Note: it is not known from the back-end which grid within which module uses which link. This is set in the front end within each module's actionscript file. E.g., if the XML looks like this: [Code] .....
And I set the Email link to show in the module like this: private function dgPerformance_click(event:MouseEvent):void { menu.showEmailThis = true; }
How do I make it take effect? Is there a way to control the visibility of a linkbutton within an item renderer in a component from the module that uses that component?
I'm trying to create a menu, where some buttons becomes visible when the user "rollOver" a box the buttons is beneath. Look at http://www.grupotecnimede.com/ menu system, at the main page. I place my buttons within a MC, and gives the MC this AS:
[code]...
But when I move the mouse over the buttons, they aren't enabled, probably because flash got the idea that the MC is above the buttons, and that the MC is a button.
I reworked a script that creates a menu from XML. Works great, it creates the menu items by attaching a button I have in my library, each button gets the proper data passed to it in the process. Each button has an onRelease tied to it by the script. When the menu item is clicked (onRelease) it loads an image and proper data into the movie (into movie clips & dynamic text boxes).My hangup is that I want the first menu item to be called when the menu is created. In other words, i want to call the function that the onRelease is calling with the first menu items data but i can't figure out how to do it.All i can figure is having the button call the function itself [i.e.if(this.name =="button1"){] but that doesn't work.[code]
I'm currently working on a project were I would like to enlargen some of my menus ( there are wround 30 menus ), and this should be done when the user clicks a on one of the three buttons in the "main-menu".Now, I've been trying to create a function that, when one of the "main-menu" buttons is clicked, are called. This function then defines the menus and makes them scale, however the following code returns: "undefined".[code]Maybe a "for" loop isn't the solution, or maybe I'm just trying to define the items in a wrong way, with the array thing ( "...item[q].sca...").Btw. all the menus are loaded in dynamically through an XML document.
I'm making a slide menu that loads a xml file and creates buttons dynamically. Another functionality it has a sliding menu also, and I can't stop it. Heres goes the zip file, which contains .fla and .xml files. What I want to do is when I put the mouse at the top of the mask, the menu stops on the first option, and when I put the mouse at the bottom, the menu stops on the last option. Is it possible? [URL]
I'm trying to make a simple as3 menu using the drawing api, but i'm having a few problems. First of all I want the red box on roll over to start out from where the gray box is, but right now its starting out from the left of the stage. Second when I bring the mouse cursor off the stage the red box would just appear.
i have 7 buttons inside an MC in a row next each other, when the mouse rollover each of it zooms 20%. Now the problem starts when the button you're hoving over is zoomed, the button next to it cuts into the image. in the order they where inserted I want the button you're zooming over to always display as the top layer - bring to front -.
i read of a code:
btn.swapDepths(1);
to change the depth of the movie clip
and:
trace(btn.getDepth());
to get the initial depth of the button putting it at a higher or lower depth than the other buttons will either place the button behind or in front of the other buttons ...play around with depths untill you figure it out.
I am new to Flash. I bought a template online a couple weeks ago, and for the most part have made all the changes to personalize the page. The page is for wedding videography, and came with a Videos section. However, I do not like the template video player, and would like to have the Videos link on the menu bar go straight to my youtube channel rather than to the flash player. Primarily all changes to the template have been made in a text.txt file, rather than the flash file itself. My question is, how could I change the link on the main page to route to my youtube channel? Here's what it looks like in the text file:
I want to add actions (other than "gotoURL") to the XML Driven Drop Down Menu (tutorial on this site) - particularly internal site navigation - ie, gotoAndStop().
I'm trying to make a program for an e-commerce project I'm involved in that will allow our users to listen to sample clips from a given CD. I've listed all the tracks in an array called trackList. Here's the code to play a given track from that array:
function playTrack(event:MouseEvent):void{ switch(event.currentTarget.name){ case "track01":[code]....
The event target that I've bolded is the given movie clip button that the user has clicked; at frame two, the button turns yellow. When the clip is finished, the button should return to frame 1, but I can't get that to happen.
I suspect I need to put the event listener to make the button's color change back on the sound channel (sndChan), but I don't know how I could write that function so that it will apply to which ever button happens to be active.
I have a master SWF which has a menu and loads other swf's into holders so they can be animated. I have button's in one of the loaded swf's but i am unable to make these buttons alter whats in the main swf. I.e. addEventListener to button and root(but the root doesnt seem to root to the holding swf).
i made a video player with the xml playlist , it's a video channel indeed, it's embed swf in html. but my boss would like me to put a link on the web, when user click the link, it would directly play the specific video inside the video channel. is it possible to do it without server side script but javascript?
When creating a website in Flash, I have made the buttons but I am unable to add an action to the buttons. A message appears to say 'current selection cannot have actions applied to it'. I have followed the tutorial to the letter without any success - what am i missing?
I need a tutorial for a hierarchical drop down menu system that drops down 3 sub levels. Do I make the items in the sub menus individual buttons and then insert them into a movie clip or make every sub menu item a movie clip and insert them into buttons?
I am looking at creating a menu with three movieclip buttons on a main menu. I want to keep these buttons on the top of the screen at all times. I am opening different swf's and I want to make sure that the buttons are still showing. I know there is something with changing or swapping the depth of the movie clip when it loads the new swf's in, but I have not found anything that is seeming to work.
I made some animated buttons, and now I'm trying to assign script to them to link them to their pages, on the script box it says I cannot assign script to them? Is it because they're animated or am I going wrong somewhere else? It's in Flash CS3, I can upload any files as a link if I've not explained myself well enough
I am trying to add actions to my buttons i want the user to be sent to another page when the button is clicked. The action i have attached to the button is
