ActionScript 3.0 :: Using MovieClips, Etc. Inside Of Buttons?
Jan 20, 2010I created a movie clip (let's call it "mysymbol") that contains several buttons, as well as functions for MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT events ("mover" and "mout"). Everything works when the mouse enters "mysymbol" for the first time (mover is being called), but if I move the mouse inside mysymbol to another button, the MOUSE_OUT function (mout) is being called first and then immediately mover. Obviously, I don't want there to be any function calling at all! I have found a way to circumvent this, but since I'm new at this I struggle to get it to work properly:
If mysymbol is a button instead of a movie clip, then I can move my mouse freely within mysymbol without triggering any MOUSE_OVER or MOUSE_OUT events. However, there is another problem: I somehow can't get movie clips to work inside a button(I assume this is by design), so how do I get my animations etc. to work inside this button? is there an alternative to using a button as a container?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Using Buttons Inside Movieclips?
Nov 3, 2010I am trying to teach myself Flash with AS3, I am using Flash Pro CS5. I am making a website and I want to be able to press a button thats inside a movieclip to navigate to a given frame. Example, Two frames, frame 1 has a movieclip with a button inside a scrollpane. I want to click the button and go to frame 2. need a complete and detailed script for this if thats ok. Also, I dont know if this helps any but the code that I use for buttons on the main timeline is this:
ActionScript Code:
function button_clicked(e:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop("frame2");
}
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, button_clicked);
Professional :: Buttons Do Not Work When In MovieClips?
May 8, 2010I'm trying to create a portfolio site and I'm running into some problems. I've built my main site on the timeline and all my buttons work fine the AS is very simple:
function goForward(event:MouseEvent):void {
if(currentFrame == totalFrames) {
gotoAndStop(1);
} else {
nextFrame();
}} next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goForward);
But when I make Movie clips of a scenes with buttons in them (children?) to try and simplify the site, AS doesn't seem to recognize the instance name for the button in the Movie Clip. I get an error message:
1120: Access of undefined property next_btn.
I've put an invisible button over the mc and given it the next_btn instance name and it works although I would like to fix the buttons in the MC properly. Is it better to condense a site into movie clips and single frames or should I just have a long linear timeline that spans many frames?

Actionscript 3 :: Timeline Navigation Buttons Inside Movieclips?
Apr 27, 2011I have an MC inside which consists of some images on different frames and some buttons which are supposed to gotoandStop on each of the frames. A simple gallery.
My plan is to create an MC for each gallery on my site and sit each one in a unique frame, so the main navigation btns go to a frame with an MC in it, then the MC buttons navigate within that gallery.
But the buttons aren't working.
Here's the button code inside the MC:
on1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_5);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_5(event:MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndStop("on1");
}
Note: I've labelled the button instances and frames the same for ease of checking the code, there are multiple buttons here each with the same code except for the change in numbers.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Buttons Don't Work Inside MC
May 5, 2010I'm doing a map using AS3, and the mouse controls pan movements. It all works fine, but I can't get the buttons (that will be hotspots) to work inside a movie clip (I also need to make the buttons work inside a movieclip). When I test scene, it all works fine, but the buttons don't work in "test movie" option. The problem isn't any code in AS3, because my movie doesn't even recognize the buttons inside the movie clip.
The problem is, the buttons are not responding at all to the mouse, in "test movie". No rollover color, no hand cursor, nothing.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Linking Buttons Inside Movieclips To Frame Labels?
Feb 17, 2009I've been working on a new issue while giving a break on cracking the other one.I have a movie clip acting as a button with rollover/rollout animation- we'll call it menu_mc for simple reference.I'm basically creating a rollover submenu. I've set it up a few different ways but the most user friendly has been hiding the submenu_mc (which has 4 linked buttons to root frame inside) by doing:
_root.sub5_mc._visible = false;
then inside the menu_mc with the rollover I have the submenu trigger set to show:
_root.sub5_mc._visible = true;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Buttons Inside MovieClips - Arrow And Thumbnail Function
May 5, 2011It's just a simple navigation thing, with a strip of thumbnails that gets moved left and right with arrows that load a larger picture when each thumbnail is clicked. Basically I would like to move the strip of thumbnails across when you click the arrows, and then when you click a thumbnail it loads the full size image above the strip. This is my thought process for each thing that needs to be scripted.
For the arrow function:
- The arrow buttons need to tell the movieclip to move to the relevant frame WITHIN the movieclip where I have included the tween to the next set of thumbnails. I tried scripting this on the button itself as well as on the first frame of the actions layer and I couldn't get either to work.
- I initially had the buttons within the movieclip because then I could control when there is a left and right button, or just a right button or just a left button (i.e., still more pics to view, you can go back to the previous set of pics or onto the next set of pics, or you've reached the end of the row of thumbnails) but I couldn't get my button to do anything when it was inside the same movieclip as the thumbnail rows. I would prefer to have the buttons work inside the movieclip for the reason described.
For the thumbnail function:
- The problem here, I think, is that I have buttons within a movieclip that I am trying to get to load something to the stage. Here, I tried to add the script to the button within the movieclip as well as the first frame of the sctions layer but again that didn't work either.
- Another important function is going to be removing whatever is on the stage when you click another thumbnail. I guess each image could just keep loading on top of the previous image but won't that cause a problem with the depth of your layers?

Dec 29, 2009I'm making a flash CS4 presentation and I just made a navbar movieclip (grey rectangle) and put 6 buttons on each layer inside of it. I put this movieclip (navbar) on the main movie timeline in a layer. I keep getting this error (1120 access of undefined property) and the buttons simply don't respond to the main timeline. It used to work fine when the buttons were on the main timeline. Should I make a parent child reference ?
For example, this code for the pause button won't work:
pause_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, stopButtonClick);
function stopButtonClick (e:MouseEvent):void {
this.stop();
}

Jun 14, 2010I've been using this site for a while as I'm taking flash lessons in my college and right now I am building a portfolio website and am in need of help, so I've decided to come to you for some light. My problem is in the portfolio I'm creating in AS2 I have the photo and video galleries in form of a click'n'drag movie clip that slides sideways. So far, so good. However, when I add buttons to my mc (and that includes the ones in all my video players as well), they don't work at all. I think it has something to do with the function I'm using. Is there any solution for allowing buttons to be clickable? This is the code I'm using directly in the mc:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Why Do Movieclips Inside Movieclips Have Different _x And _y Than The Timeline
Oct 30, 2007why does a MC inside another MC have different _x and _y values than the main timeline?What I am trying to do right now is animate a MC inside another MC then get the main MC holding everything to move where that new MC ended animating at (it's part of a game I'm making.)
I know it's confusing but Flash shows the cursors current X and Y in the info panel, which is the same as the main timeline. Yet inside the movieclip, an x of 76 and a y of 277 on the timeline is -195 and -30.9 (respectively) inside the MC.How do I fix it so I can get the _x and _y values to match up so I can tell the main MC to reposition itself to the new X and Y (of the inside MC)
ActionScript 2.0 :: MovieClips Inside Other MovieClips - Detecting All
Mar 27, 2008I have a movieclip called mapWindow, inside mapWindow are dynamically created movieclips of various sizes. The movieclips inside the mapWindow don't take up the entire space of the mapWindow and thus I use a startDrag on the mapWindow upon detection of a mouse press. The problem is, I don't want the start drag to start if the mouse is detected over any of the child movieclips inside mapWindow.
I have a few ideas of how to proceed, but I'm not sure how to reference all child movieclips of a particular movieclip - or something along those lines.
It would be easy to use the hittest function if I knew how to reference all the movieclips I need to, but alas...

Is that possible? I can get the buttons on the first frame of the MC to work, but I can't seem to figure out how to target/make the buttons on the other frames work?
