ActionScript 1/2 :: User Enters And Exits One Movieclip Button Changes Color?
Jun 11, 2009
I currently have a slideshow-style navigation site. There are five buttons on the bottom and when the user clicks each button, it triggers a nested movieclip to play. I would like the button to be highlighted when the corresponding movieclip is playing, but when they click another button and another movieclip plays, I want the button to go back to its original color.
The problem is that the movieclips that are playing are nested two levels down and the buttons have to be on the main timeline. I think I might need an event listener to see if a certain nested movieclip is playing, to know to change the button color. It seems to easy but I can't figure it out,
I am having a hard time finding a basic math tutorial. I am new to AS3 and just need to figure out how to multiply what a user enters by a certain number when a button is pressed.
I am trying to write the code for making a text input control in flex. As the user enters the value in text input control and then if he removes the typed characters to make the text input blank, then I print error message via StringValidator. But I want the focus to be set on that text input only until the user enters anything. How can I achieve that?
how can you go to the next text field when user enters a letter.I've created an array that saves the text box selected by the user.The crossword boxs are named from b1 to b59 and within these MC there the a textfield that named - textfld.[code]
I have an input text box with the instance name of input_txt and a dynamic text field named output_txt. I'm trying to do something with the dynamic field when the user has entered text into the input field. So far, this is what I have: input_txt.addEventListener(TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT, update); function update(event:TextEvent):void { output_txt.text = "foobar"; } I don't know if this is valid ActionScript 3.0. I am getting an error that says "the class 'TextEvent' could not be loaded."
I have an editable combobox. How can I bind the text the user enters? I can only do binding when the user selects whatever it is they typed in...how can I bind it as they type?
I am rather new to actionscript and having some trouble. My goal is to make a app where the user enters a decimal number and the number of decimal places and the output is displayed in a dynamic text box. Here's what I have so far:
ActionScript Code: go_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,Display); function round(num:Number, dp:int):Number { var decimal:Number = Math.pow(10, dp); trace(Math.round(decimals * num) / decimal)
I am working on a simple math game for kids. It is nearly complete but the problem I have is that when the user enters their answer in the input textfield, the numbers are entered from left to right. Most people do math problems from right to left. Is there a way to make the numbers appear from right to left? I am thinking that I would have to use an eventlistener on the number keys and also use parse text or arrays somehow to manipulate the numbers.
For an input field - i need to have some action when user enters something in the input field and hit ENTER.I am using this: but with this user can hit enter anywhere on the screen and get the action- i need to have it only when user selects the input field.
Code: myNewObject = new Object(); myNewObject.onKeyDown = function() {[code]...
I currently have an input text field where the user can enter their text.The text to be entered say is Adobe. First letter is Caps and rest small.In whatever probability the user enters the text the system should accept it as correct. For example: Adobe, adobe, adobE, ADOBE etc etc
how can I get Flash to find the difference (in days) between two dates that the user enters? For example if I have six input text boxes and I call them:
day1 month1 year1 day2 month2 year2
respectively, how can I get a dynamic text box called, say, "output" to find the difference between two dates that the user enters into the six text boxes, e.g.
day1 - The user enters 03 month1 - The user enters 09 year 1 - The user enters 2006 day2 - The user enters 25 month2 - The user enters 12 year2 - The user enters 2006
How do I get Flash to find the difference between today and Christmas?
First of all, props to Informatik at Actionscript.org for the following code. This is a profanity filter that will perform an action when it detects a word from an array. The problem is, it fails when the user enters only a single word:
Code: var filteredWords:Array = new Array("apple", "grape", "orange", "watermelon"); submitBtn.onPress = function():Void{ if(checkFilteredWords(inputText.text) == true)[code].....
The code uses split(" ") to detect a space which is obviously causing the problem of failing to detect one word offenders. But without this, the filter would detect profanity in a word like "assets".
a) A full moon is there on the screen in which Name and Password field is there. b)The movement the user types his name and password and after pressing enter the moon should fade for some other animation.
Is action script needed for this?.
Am just a sort of general flash animator I don't know how to do things differently.
The animation further should continue where a steel door should open, two velvet ropes should be pulled aside which will make the bookcase wall swivels around to reveal the next animation
how to achieve point a and b.I will try pondering the rest on opening the steel door and pulling the velvet ropes that swivels the bookcase and goes to reveal another animation....
My Flash file contains a movie-clip(Box1) that is exported for Action-script but it is not exported to Frame 1 in Linkage Dialog Box. Box1 has been put on frame-40 and the object is accessible in document Class but is not added to stage. However when it reaches to Frame 40, the object at Frame 40 get visible. My question is where is boxObj??
So I am a complete novice at actionscript as was evident in my attempts to figure this out on my own. I have the following code to control the "Songs" section of my website and I would like the following features:
1. Not have the music automatically start when the user enters the frame. (I thought this was due to line 3 code but it still played after I deleted that code)
2. Add a "Back" button to go back 1 song.I currently have it set up with the following code on my "Songs" Page:
I have a project in Flash Mx 2004. On the first frame there is a menu with 4 menu items. When the user clicks an item, they are taken to another frame with some text and an exit button that takes them back to the menu. The forward button will not become active until all of the menu items have been viewed. There is no particular order for the items to be viewed, just that they all be viewed before the forward arrow is active and the user can continue. I tried puttin an action on the exit button to disable the related menu item, however, the item just resets back to enabled each time a user re-enters the frame.
We are creating an ecommerce site for my business and am trying to create a flash file that will allow the end user to select a color from a palette of 64 different swatches that they would like their item to be so it processed it into the order. I only need to create the flash file so they can select the color.
I am trying to work something out, but I am not really good in scripting so I can't figure out how to write the code properly.The situation is a bit complex:I have one frame labeled "street". From "street" you can enter another page labeled "underground" when you press a button. In "underground" there's a button "exitU_btn" that brings you back to "street".So far this wasn't a problem. Now I have another page labeled "F2016" from which you can enter "underground",too, but this time when pressing "exitU_btn" I don't want it to return to "street" but return to "F2016".Means the button should know the label I am coming from and returning to this one.I started to write a bit code for that with if statements, but don't know how exaxtly to write it.
Code: var enter2016: Boolean = false; /*should decide where I am coming from, which label (I guess this is what has to be defined somehow)*/ stop();[code]........
I thought I need a boolean to check if my situation is right, but I don't know how to code it right.
I have a very strange problem. I recently finished a website,[URL]However if you try to enter the first button (in firefox) it enters the new swf and then freezes... HOWEVER. When I try this in Internet Explorer it works just fine. Is it actionscript which acts different in browsers, do I have to type differently or add exceptions?Through the .js file I found out there is a opera and IE exception..
Im trying to add an exit button onto my program so when its clicked it exits the program completely.. I've tried some of the suggestions on the forums but they arnt working. what I have been using and its not working..
// CLICK to Exit exit_Btn.addEventListener("mouseUp", goExit); function goExit(evt:MouseEvent) { fscommand("quit"); };
I have created an xml navigation and there are some differen categories in it. But now I want that the button will have a color that is his categorie. I used this code:
I want to have an application where the user click on a movieclip, and is then taken to a another page. What I need is the code so as a user clicks a moviceclip (for example MC_1) it holds a variable (say = 1), as the movieclip is pushed a movie plays which at the ends checks for the variable change and then re-directs the user some where?
I think this should be here instead of the Actionscrip area but not sure.I am using a button to have a small popup (which is a MovieClip) appear when the user does a mouse over. I have a LOT of these because it is a list of bullet points. What I'm wondering is if there is a way to do an array. It would cut WAY down on code.Although this is the Flash forum instead of ActionScript My code for one button is:
I have a movieclip object and I want to tween the color of this object from colorA to colorB when I click a button. What is the best way of doing this, is it possible to do it with the tween class? As far as I can see its not possible to tween a tint with the Tween class?
I want to do as follows: * click a "red" button write in textarea with red color font click "blue" button * write in textarea with blue color font Isn't this possible in flash 10 using AS3 I tried using setTextFormat but the problem is i have to have text before inserting format on that.
