ActionScript 1/2 :: OnPress Action Being Triggered Automatically?

Sep 9, 2009

I have a scrolling navigation bar and two buttons on either side to move it left and right. I created functions to handle moving the navigation MC left and right, and they work just fine.

My problem is, I'm trying to set my buttons up using onPress, like this:
 
function ScrollForward()
{
//  function contents
}

[Code].... 
 
The problem is, when I create the .swf, the functions placed in the onPress events automatically run. And neither button triggers the "onPress" events. I have removed the last two lines with the onPress events and the functions do not run, so the way I've set them up is obviously wrong.

The problem is obviously the onPress lines because the functions do not run without those lines, and if I simply put the full function within the onPress event rather than separate, they both run correctly. I want to call these functions elsewhere, so I don't want to simply include them solely within the onPress event.

ActionScript 1/2 :: OnPress Event Function Not Getting Triggered

Jan 10, 2010

I have created different buttons on different movieclip. Then i assigned onPress event on each buttons. But the function of onPress event is not triggered. The arrangement of movieclips is following.

var mainMC:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("mainMC",0);
mainMC._alpha = 0;
var adImgMC:MovieClip = mainMC.createEmptyMovieClip("adImgMC",0);
var offerMC:MovieClip = mainMC.createEmptyMovieClip("offerMC",1);
var offerList:MovieClip = offerMC.createEmptyMovieClip("offerList",0);
[Code] .....

I have created an event as follows:
offerList.onRollOver = function(){
offerList.stopTween();
clearInterval(autoScrlTimer);
} offerList.onRollOut = function(){
duration = 0;
autoScrlTimer = setInterval(automaticScroll,duration);
ovrFlag = true
}
I doubt that the onPress event is not working because of the above piece of code.

Professional :: Change .onPress Action To Just Action?

Jan 27, 2011

I am using code from a tutorial that I downloaded to get an Home.swf to preload in my "index" page.the problem is that a part of the code reads

movie1_btn.onPress=function(){
startPreload ("Home.swf");
}

which means that I have to create a button to get the .swf file to load, how do I edit this code so that the action begins on it's own at that frame?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Action Listeners Triggered Together For Different Items?

Sep 28, 2011

The flash, is designed as below so that when click on the button on the screen, will pick up the button and let the button move with the mouse. When the mouse is click again anywhere in the stage, the button will be put down again and wont follow the movement of the mouse.
 
The problem is that whenever the pickup function is triggered, though the stage event listener for dropdown only get added when the pickup eventListener has been triggered, the dropdown function is always executed together with the pickup function (will dropdown as soon as it has been picked up, all within a single click instead of the intended 2).

ActionScript 2.0 :: Cancel A Button's OnPress Action?

Feb 25, 2009

I wondering if there is a way to cancel a button's onPress action.For example on my button I have the following:

Code:

on (press) {
startDrag(this, false, 384, 2.5, 384, 70.5);
}

[code]....

However if you press the button and roll out with your mouse button still held down it will continue to drag even after you release the mouse button. It then won't stop dragging until you roll over and then out of the button.

To correct this I was wondering if there is a way to call the on(Press) action and stop it OR to activate the on(release) or on(rollOut) actions OR a way to activate "stopDrag();" when the user rolls out even if they are still holding the mouse button down.

ActionScript 2.0 :: OnClip Event Button Script - Stop Action As Well As An OnPress / OnRelease

Nov 20, 2006

I have a set of 5 text buttons that I want to alter slightly with actionscript. An OnClip event moves the 5 text buttons onto the screen, then each button has a stop action as well as an OnPress/OnRelease that rotates it from black text to blue text and rolls back to black text again. I just need it to be black text to blue and stop when the viewer clicks the link to go to an HTML page.

How would you code it so that the text button rolls from black to blue and stays BLUE for the selected HTML page as long as the user is on it, letting them know where they are in the site's navigation. The sample code from button 1 is below:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Button OnPress Calls Another Button's OnPress?

Nov 5, 2007

[URL]

First, click on the Abaco island shape on the map. You'll see on rollOver there is a glow around the island. Now click on that island and the glow remains for the zoomed-in detailed view. When you return to map and zoom back out, the glow is removed.

Now, compare this with clicking on the island name "Abaco" from the list on the right, instead of clicking directly on the island from the map. It zooms in and shows the details fine, but the glow that should be there is not.

The reason this problem is very perplexing for me, is that the onPress action of the list button in the right column calls the onPress function of the map button. So, theoretically they should do the EXACT same thing when pushed. But clearly they don't.

Here is the code for the button from the list on the right panel:

Code:
listAbaco_mc.onRollOver = function() {
_root.map_mc.abaco_mc.button_btn.onRollOver();
};

[Code]....

There is more code, for example rollOver, rollOut, and Press actions for the other island buttons, but they are all of the exact same format as the Abaco island button and they all have the same problem.

So, to recap, the problem is that the list button in the right panel do not function properly onPress, even though they are calling the onPress function of the island buttons directly, and the island button onPress function works perfectly. Strangely, all but one little thing works. So it's obviously getting to the correct functions and going through the code as planned, yet that one part about the glow is being ignored or otherwise messed up.

on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
STOP ON FRAME 108 INTEGRATED HERE
}

AS3 :: NetStatusEvent Events Not Triggered?

Aug 19, 2010

NetStatusEvent has only one type of event: NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS; but it comes with many codes for various cases.

Here they are, listed.

However, a lot of them are not triggered for me. I know some are FMS specific but I'm talking about "NetStream.Play.Stop", "NetStream.Pause.Notify" or "NetStream.Unpause.Notify".

Is there a case when they shouldn't be triggered, even though I'm calling NetStream's control functions (which take effect), or a known issue around this matter?
