ActionScript 1/2 :: Buttons Inside Moveiclip Not Accessible?
Aug 1, 2010
I am making this website, which contains a load file, which contains a movieclip holder, which holds all the different parts of the website.
Now within the portfolio.swf, which is within mcholdr, inside load.swf, there are several images, which are buttons. On clicking one image, I have code which dims, i.e. reduces _alpha for all the buttons and disables them. Now when I test portfolio.swf alone, this code works, but when I access portfolio.swf through load.swf, the code is not working.
[Code]...
Nothing works. Is this a path problem??? How do I access these buttons?? I want to use the loop, as there are many buttons, so a simple img1._alpha will not work, as I will have to type this out for each button. How can I get the same effect using the loop??

I have several buttons within a flash file. The hierarchy is this:mainmcholder workmc service1mc.All three are separate swf's loaded into holders. Now within service1mc, there are several buttons..clicking any buttons loads another external swf, related to that button, within an emtpy movieclip which is placed above these buttons. Now when one button is clicked, all the buttons are disabled and dimmed. When the user closes the external button-related swf, all buttons are enabled and _alpha is made 100 again.Everything works fine till the external button-related swf is closed. The buttons are disabled and dimmed, but when the swf is closed, the buttons are inaccessible.
I have placed the code within onLoadInit(), wherein the external swf (_mc), has an event listener attached to it. When the event is dispatched, (which is successfully completed), a function is executed, which is enabling the buttons. The function is also getting executed, but the buttons are not reachable. It seems to be a path issue.[code]I have used the same path for disabling them, and that seems to work.

I have 12 pictures I need to load and then make accessible as buttons or - when the user presses on the picture it initializes a function. What is the best way to do this?
I went the loading a picture through URLRequest and URLLoader route but I need to load 12, place them on the stage, make them move upon NextBnt press and and then when the user selects the picture., the view goes to another screen.

I'm working on a simple image processor in AS3 and as usual I almost had it finished when an annoying little problem appeared. I want to open an image using a dialog box, and once the image is open I want the "selectBtn" (which is in my Library) to disappear. However when I try the code below I get a: "Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference". I'm sure it's something simple but I just can't figure it out!
// declare variables
var image:Bitmap;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();

This one is a funny one. To replicate:
1.Drag a radio button onto the stage.
2.Name the instance.
3.Create a document class.
4.Try and set/change the label of the radio button from the document class.
I noticed this problem when I quickly knocked the code together to catch the radio button value through an event, which worked perfectly when the code was on the timeline. I tried to clean up the code into a class file, at which point it broke. I stripped the whole thing down to bare bones and just could not get the label or the value to set from the document class. If I've missed something, I'd love to hear it, as I've wasted hours AGAIN on a silly problem.

I'm trying to build a class that can handle a menu or other grid of buttons being keyboard accessible (navigate with arrowkeys, select with another key, here 'b'). So far I have the keyboard part working, but you have to click one of the buttons to 'activate' it, and I am unsure of the logic needed to do the mouse events. I have added mouse events but don't see a simple way of integrating them with the keyboard system. Code is here, and both the class and a test .fla are attached.
Basically, the list of instances are passed by the frame into the constructor in an array. The selector class manages the index in the array of the currently selected button. The frame adds a key event listener, and these keys are picked up by the class to change the selected button and call the roll out and roll over methods to change the states (for this test just adjusting scale to 1.4, but in future, causing them to run a function or similar).
What I would ideally like, ideally, is for the keyboard and mouse to work in sync, as in rolling over with the mouse will update the currentButton index... If not, just some explanation as to why one of the buttons in the array must be clicked first before I can start using the keyboard would be good.

I have my main SWF into which I want to load an external swf...When I've tried using the following code...
var light:Loader = new Loader();
light.load(new URLRequest("light.swf"));
addChildAt(light, 1);
The SWF loads but the buttons inside it do not show. How do I load the swf and have the buttons inside it work? Anything inside of the external swf that is a movie clip works, but I'd like to be able to keep the up/down/over and hit features of the button.

I have several buttons inside of a movie clip, as well as functions for the MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT events. There is no gap between the buttons, however, if I move from one button to the next, first the MOUSE_OUT and immediately the MOUSE_OVER function is called again (even though all of this is inside of the movie clip). If I have the buttons inside another button, moving from one (sub-)button to the next is not problem, but then I can't have any animations/movie clips inside (or can I?). Is there any way to "fix" this, meaning that I can move from one button to the next without triggering the functions?

I 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?

I have the following code for my buttons (not in a scrollpane), but when I try to add additional (addEventListener) strings to correspond with buttons in a scrollpane I get these error messages (1120: Access of undefined property smith. 1120: Access of undefined property thomas.).

I want a Movie Clip to house 5 buttons that will link to frame labels on the main time line.(this will be my main menu navigation)I have created 5 separate buttons then created a Movie Clip.dragged each of the 5 buttons into the movie clip gave instance names for all of them.then I dragged the movie clip to my main timeline and gave that an instance name.I then went into the Movie clip and attempted to use AS3 to get the button instances to navigate to the frame labels.no go
when I test my movie it keeps looping through the whole main timeline no matter how many stop commands I put in the main timeline or in the Movie clip itself.if I have no AS in the Movie clip then the movie tests with the Movie clip working (no scrolling through the timeline and rollover works fine but I still can not command the CLICKs).as a post script I have tried so many AS variables I thought it best to not enter any here

I'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.

I 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);

I have this code that makes a menu with two buttons appear following the mouse when the mouse rolls over a movieClip:
Code:
var imgOptions:menuMC = new menuMC();
//Makes the image options follow the mouse
function showImgOptions (e:Event):void
{
[code]..
The problem is that the buttons are children of imgOptions, and when the mouse is over these two buttons, the movie reacts like the mouse is not over the imgOptions movieclip.

I'm currently attempting to link buttons to other frames in the movie. I've tried tutorials and just can't seem to get my code to do what I want. The issue is that the buttons are inside a movieclip, and I'm trying to link them to frames in the main movie (Scene 1).

I have my Stage. On this I have an empty MovieClip (MC). To begin with I do:
MCContent = new TestMC();
MC.addChild(MCContent);
This works. But in my TestMC, I have another MovieClip Button01, which is named Button01, where I have the code:
Button01.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, handleMouseUp);
function handleMouseUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace('Hello World);
}
But when I click on Button01 nothing happens... What am I doing wrong?

On my stage I have two buttons that open a movieclip that has more buttons in it.
If button 1 was used to open the movieclip, then the internal buttons each load up text. If button 2 was used, the buttons load up images.
Problem is, if I click on button 1, (to go back to loading text) the last image remains, as I'm not sure how to code removeChild to act if the parent button has been pressed.
Currently, I successfully use removeChild to remove each image as image buttons are clicked within the movieclip. But I'm not sure how to remove the last one?

Having a bit of a problem with a project. At the moment I have a draggable map which is a movieclip, within the movieclip I have added a range of icons for hotels, restaurants, etc.I am having a problem linking these icons so that they will take you to the correct point on my main timeline. I've converted the icons to buttons and added the script below, but it doesn't seem to be picking up that the icon is a button. I think it may have something to do with it having a start/stop drag on it.
