im currently making a game, and the game has some powerups, that when picked are stored. the problem is that, if i have, say, 3 shields, e press the matching button and the 3 shields are used instead of one. i found out its because i was checking the button pressing every frame, so i created a flag that checks if a button is corrently being pressed. here's the code
[Code]....
I have a function on root:
_root.fadeBox_mc.onEnterFrame = function (){
if (fade){
this.nextFrame();[code]....
This causes a mc to fade in and out on rollover/rollout. But what I wanna make is a box that fades in when pressed on the button and fade out when pressed for the second time. But if I say
on (press){
_root.fade = true;
}
the mc fades in, but I cant do another on (press) to fade out. Is this too confusing?
1) add a SimpleButton to the stage and view the SWF2) then press and hold the mouse button down OUTSIDE of the button's boundaries3) then drag the cursor over the SimpleButton while still holding down the mouse button......Then the SimpleButton on the stage does not detect the mouseover and display its 'over' state. It just stays in its idle state. Why is this? And is there a way to enable the SimpleButton to display its over state while the mouse button is being held down and then the cursor brought on top of the button (as described above)?That's the abstract, and if you are at all curious (this won't elaborate on the question, but maybe help you visualize a practical scenario) what's motivating the question, it is an application I'm building. In this app, the user is able to drag video thumbnails in order to rearrange their order.
View 3 RepliesAm I correct in understanding that the onMouseOver event doesn't fire if the mouse button is clicked and held down prior to moving the mouse over the specified object? Would I need to code something using hitTest to see if the mouse is over the specified object regardless of whether the button is down or not?
View 1 Repliesim makin a game.... and i want to be able to delay the weapon even if the button is held down... like in this...
http:[url]...
how would i go about doing that?... the only reason is cuz right now my game lags so bad if i just hold dow the button cuz so many movie clips on the screen at once...
I have two buttons in my movie that move a movie clip up and down on my stage. the code in the buttons atm is as follows,
on (press){
if (this.pics1._y<-240) {
} else {
this.pics1._y = (this.pics1._y-10);
}
(this is just the down button)This just checks to see if the movie clip has reached its lowest position and if it hasn't it movies it down by 10px.What i would like to do it make is so when the button is clicked and held the movie clip moves down untill the button is released.(Im using Flash 8 with Actionscript 2)
i'm trying to make a button that when held will go to the previous frame, pause for 0.042 (24fps)seconds and then loop again until the mouse is releasedso something like thisI think know the first bit of code from much forum trawling, but have been unable to find anything further.I am an almost complete newb to programming, having online done a tiny amount of vb several years ago,just wonderingtranslate this following script into as3, and also point out if it won't work.
stop();
Rewind.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, RewindEvent);
function RewindEvent(event:MouseEvent):void
[code]......
what the actionscript would be to make a button be clicked and held down with the mouse a certain amount of seconds before executing an action???

View 3 Repliesok lets say you create a button that when held down play an animation of 20 frames if realsed it goes to frame one and stops if held down it plays out this animation. for the topic lets say you have a fire animation and you want the fire to apear and if the user hold its down the animation reaches the end of the time line and loops back and plays the last 5 frames of the animation and as soon as it is let go it goes to and stops at frame one. Well i know how to make a button that when held down plays out an animation. And i know how to say when released goes to and stops at frame one. What i dont know how to do is to loop the fire at the last 5 or 6 frames so the user can hold it down all day long and play out that animation.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a set of 4 vertically arranged buttons that 'split' apart when those buttons are pressed. For example, if you click the topmost (1st) button, the bottom three buttons will drop down so submenus (for the 1st button) can now be revealed beneath. Again, when you click the 2nd button from the top, the bottom two buttons drop down, revealing submenus, and so on.
Now, is there a way that I can use actionscripting to tween the buttons to not only motion tween a drop down when a button is first pressed, but also to motion tween the button to return up to its original spot when another button is then pressed? Right now, I have two keyframes, side-by-side which each containing a different y-scale value for an object. Can I do some actionscripting to get the object to motion tween upward to its original spot instead of "clicking," or snapping back to is original spot when another button is pressed?
I want the press button to detect the last button pressed and if the shapes match, make them do something...obviously. I think I'm going at it the wrong way. I need to stick a "triange" id into the button/mc then if compares that and then if there is a match works then... right?

What button event should I use to make the program understands to DO SOMETHING only when the button is pressed/dragged. In my sample code below, I want something to happens only if the button is dragged beyond 200 in y axis. I tried onRelease, onRollOver and onDragOver but still not working

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?

I have a function that executes when a button is pressed:
btnRandomAll.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandlerBtnRandomAll);
function clickHandlerBtnRandomAll(e:Event)

...but, I need it to also execute once, upon the file loading.
I have 2buttons. Each have 3stages: up, over, down.I want to have 1st button to stay on its 'down state' when pressed and then you should see 2nd button 'up' stage(down stage of 1st button is the same as up stage in 2nd button).If someone hovered again you see 'over' stage of 2nd button,when will click, button move to 'up' stage of 1st button.
View 1 RepliesI have done an animation which includes a button that I want to use to start it. I've added action script to stop the animation on the last frame, I just have no idea what action script to put in to start it when the button is pressed. I have 14 layers + an action script layer. 7 of the layers are animated.

i have a movieclip with some buttons with blur, when you rollover on them they become normal, when you rollout they return blur.
what i would like to do is that when you press on of them it becams normal and remain in that state untill you press on onother button.
Is there a way to do this? maybe something that prevent onRollOut when you pressed the button?
My code:
Code:
import gs.*;
this.buttonMode = true;
TweenMax.to(this, 0.5, {blurFilter:{blurX:5, blurY:5}});

I'm making a screener keyboard, where the keys are buttons, The point is that I would like to simulate a key pressed for each button by a KeyboardEvent to write the charCode in a TextField, which I keep always in Focus.

i have designed button which will change position after press on it i have used the script :button1.onPress=function(){button1._y=-300;action1._y=110;}that is working but the problem is whenever i give a link to it like go to another frame or go for some url. it work but after comming back to its previous stage it shows no difference that means i need a button which will indicate that it have been pressed.
View 1 RepliesBasically what i have is three buttons which can be pressed in a maximum of 7 different combinations. Each of these buttons has a movieclip underneath that advances to the next frame when the button is pressed. Each clip has two frames with actions, frame 1 has:
stop();
var option1:Boolean = false;
and then frame 2 has:
stop();
var option1:Boolean = true;
So when you press a button you have true, and false when the button is pushed again.
i already have a constant loop between frames 2 and 4. At frame 4 i think i need to have some code that detects which state the 3 boolean statements are in and then load a movie depending on which statements are true and which are false.
I need to be pushed a button after I selected it. In other words, I want the button remains down.
View 4 RepliesAs the subject says, how do I disable a button once it's pressed?For example:- Home page loads, disable the Home button- Click on Contact page, disable Contact button, re-enable Home button.I've tried removeEventListener, used button mode true/false and nothing seems to work for me... Unless I'm doing it all wrong...
View 1 RepliesI noticed this before. Sometimes in some browsers with flash camera dialog you won't be able to press ALLOW button to access camera, microphone. The issue is already exposed over here Can't click allow button in flash on firefox and Adobe is tracking issue about this bug [URL]
The purposed solution sometimes works but also not always. The other workaround I wound on web is to set the margin-left and margin-right CSS in flash container like this:
margin-left: 0.5px;
margin-right: auto;
Well now the OS X Lion came out and the damn thing doesn't work in any browser! I even tried the Facebook profile photo taker which also uses flash for taking photos. Also there you cant press ALLOW button. Same with YouTube video recorder etc...

Even though I pressed only one button. The main menu button. PS: The faces are Colon and a P.
I have a menu with 6 buttons. I have set up a variable called button pressed that tracks which button was pressed through numbers (if button 1 pressed, value of buttonPressed becomes 1 etc..) I want to test for which button was pressed as little as possible. If I say onClipEvent(mouseDown) it tells me that this can only be used for movie clips. How can i run a simple test to see which button was pressed?
