ActionScript 2.0 :: Accordion Style Interface - Flash Masked Buttons / MovieClips
Jan 16, 2005
Having some strange problems with masks in FMX 04: We're developing an accordion style interface. The problem is that buttons and images/mcs that are outside the "masked area" of each module are somehow clickable, or are "invisibly" pushing other content up/down. So basically the buttons/mcs are hidden, but Flash is still seeing them somehow. Is this normal mask behavior? Is there a solution besides setting the button to _visible = false? This is effecting my interface in other ways as well.

I'm trying to get some accordion style btns to close if the mouse leave the stage.here's the code I have in place thus far:
stop();
stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, closeall);function closeall(event:Event):void {
if (btn1.currentFrame != 0) { btn1.gotoAndPlay(10); } if (btn2.currentFrame != 0) { btn2.gotoAndPlay(10); } if (btn3.currentFrame != 0) { btn3.gotoAndPlay(10); } if (btn4.currentFrame != 0) { btn4.gotoAndPlay(10); }
}
If my cursor leaves the stage nothing happens?

I have a three masked pictures all are movie clips on the main timeline and the mask works ok. The problem I am having is a set of buttons on the main timeline which allow you to move between the frames the three pictures are on. They allow me to do this ok but when the movie is started the first time one of the buttons is pressed the masked pictures can be seen on screen briefly before the screen displays the material properly.
This is the script I am currently using:
room_pic.setMask("mc_mask");
mc_mask.onEnterFrame=function(){
this._x=this._x+this._xmouse*0.300000;
this._y=this._y+this._ymouse*0.500000;}
I have three layers the main picture which is a bitmap; the three masked pictures are in the layer above this; and the mask object is in a layer above this and is a movieclip.

I must say I'm pretty new to AS3.0 and last night I tried to develop this accordion menu. It's not XML driven nor does it use AS3.0 to create each "button". What I did was create individual "menus", basically like drop down menus, and converted them into separate movieClips. Also inside of them there's a button movieClip which is the larger one that opens the menu (instanced "btn"), a reference movieClip called tabHeight to define its height - since it can depend on the number of "sub-menus" you have - and a tabMask that onClick (is supposed) to open and reveal the "sub-menus" while making everything move according to that change. I want it to basically start with all menus closed and onClick it reveals each menu, making the necessary y movements. I am getting some errors and I can't make it to work.
Code:
Select allvar growingTab:Object;
var reducingTab:Object;
var tabArray:Array = [tab_0, tab_1, tab_2, tab_3];
for (var i:int = 0; i < tabArray.length; i++) {
var tab = tabArray[i];

I have an accordion component on my stage and I really do not even know where to start to do .I found this code on the Adobe help pages and it causes the movement of the accordion to bounce... which is great... but my problem is populating the accordion with the data.
Quote:
import mx.core.View;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
top_acc.createChild(View, "first", {label:"FIRST", icon: vt[i]});[code]........
My accordion is called "top_acc".I have three(3) labels... (FIRST,SECOND, and THIRD) Within there i would like arrays to be displayed for the select label.My arrays are defined and when i trace them i get exactly what i am looking for... the format of the code to add an array to my accordion...then upon selecting the item in the array displayed i would to be able to display that same array value in a text box called "my_selection" ....also the amount of items in the array are not static and change day to day..

I'm trying to create an xml accordion menu that has main menus and a sub menus buttons (movieClips) revealed with a mask. Simple question, How do I stop the mask area which reveals the sub menus catching mouseEvents on the submenus?The main menu button is a movieClip, it has the mask sprite attached to it as a property so it can scale dynamically to reveal the subMenus. They are set as children of the main menu button container. In my code I've set mainMenu.mouseChildern = true. But when the mainMenu is clicked I change mouseEnabeled = false to help prevent the main menu receiving events. This helps on rollOver rollOut events, but when I click or mouseDown on the subMenu the mask catches the event also and activates the main menu again. I've tried the obvious mask.mouseEnabled = false; mask.mouseChildern = false; mask.hitArea = null; and even setting mask.alpha = 0 but this has no effect at all.
I don't understand why the mask has to extend the hitArea property of the mainMenu and why this can't be set to null. It also seems crazy that when mouseChildren = true the parent clip also has to receive notice of the event.

I have a project that requires building the project using Scenes to chunk up different sections of an Elearning course.
I have created 20 Scenes.
Each Scene uses the same interface design.
On the Interface there are 6 specific buttons that will allow users to visit 6 instructional areas.
All six buttons will be avialable in all 20 Scenes.
My question is: is it possible to replicate the six buttons across all 20 scenes without having to provide unique instance names for each button in all 20 scenes so that the code to go to a scene will work in each Scene?
Or do I just have to code all 180 buttons individually as I go?
What I mean is for example.
The Lesson 1 button is replicated 20 times. the lesson one button has actionscript to go to the Lesson 1 Scene.
If I replicate the button to another Scene, I have to give it a different instance name, and update the code for that button each time and for all buttons.

trying to build simple website interface with flash but wont work, not sure why
btn_info.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,func_in fo);
function func_info(e:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("info.html"), "_self");
}
ive got other buttons with their own individual instance names and function names and such thought perhaps the buttons weren't working cause the objects don't exist, they're not loaded on the firstframe so the code is trying to reference something that but not sure how to get around this output window just says
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Ok so i was following this tutorial today at: [URL]..and its a good tutorial... with one exception. They never tell you where you can put the code for clicking on the buttons to make them functional.so now i have some good looking buttons that dont go anywhere. Any one want to take a look at this and see if you can tell me where i can put in my "click" event code.

I have created an interactive atlas. I am using my favorite map zooming and panning tools supplied by Senocular which can be found here: [URL] For the panning/zooming/drawBox tool to work the map features must be buried deep within several movieclips. There is one level at which you can put buttons that aren't effected by the code for the panning/zooming etc. Buttons have to go on this level or higher if you want them to work.
The way my atlas is set up - there is a main interface that has these tools plus the menu system. The menu (xml; created by Lost and Sen - brilliant) loads in two external swfs - one is the map itself and the other is a set of "controls" for that particular map (radio buttons, check boxes, text links, etc.).
Okay so here is my problem. I have a couple of external swfs that have buttons on them that do things when you roll over and off them. If I have these buttons sitting on the map then when it gets loaded into the main interface they no longer work. So I am trying to use attachMovie to attach them to an MC within the zooming tools in the main interface at a level they can be active (oh god I hope that makes sense). But it's not working.
I am guessing it's because the code to attach them is being fired before the external can be loaded into the interface. So I'm not really sure where to fire the attachMovie code. Does it go with the external? Does it go with the controls for the external?

I have a sliding drawer navigation going on... Click a tab, (comprised of a button within the MovieClip,) one panel slides out (via Tweening) and there will be information (and more buttons) on the panel body. Click the tab again and it slides back into place.
Basically, this worked in AS2. Really well. In AS3, all I've managed to achieve is... no more crazy looping. The buttons don't work, though, and the tween animation doesn't happen without the button code. I'm fairly certain that my scripting is just bad and I'm wondering if anyone has ever done a navigation like this in AS3, before.
I've attached the Fla file... If someone could look it over, fix the code or just tell me what I need to do to make it work, that'd be great. A once-over of the layout and you'll know what I'm trying to do.

completing the code to get a return value from JavaScript to flash, but all the code was in a frame. My issue is I need to apply this code to multiple buttons, and then have them navigate to the appropriate frame. I thought I could put some of the code on the buttons themselves, or possibly I could call each button and keep all the code in frame one.....the external interface call function and the button functions....btn1, btn2; etc......I am not to verse in code and need to know what and how the best way to do this would be.

I've been recently asked to do an interface from this file(view the attached file). The file was from ultrashock, anyway my client wants the interface to appear instead of the circles. Is there any easy way to change the circle to movie clips/buttons? I would also like to have the 3d flower rotated randomly after being selected and the interface will zoom into the selected link and the sublink will pop up from the selected link.I've been told by my friend that it requires XML but I think there's gotta be an easier way.

I have been using Flash since it was Flash 3 and AS2 for about 3 years now. I have never ever ever been a fan of buttons. I find them limiting and icky. I just moved to AS3 and OOP this week (it's about freakin time, I know). I am just wondering who here likes to use buttons and why? Is there a point to them? I mean, apparently with AS3, you just have to add "mc.buttonMode = true" and you are well on your way to having all the functionality you need without all the hassle or up states and all that.I am open to adopting new techniques and strategies if they are worthwhile so I am just curious as to what the community thinks. What are the pros and cons to using MovieClips as buttons instead of using an actual SimpleButton.

I am trying to take a snapshot of the masked region of an image... so, I load my image then perform the following functions:
private function manageLoadedImage(e:Event):void
{
_bitdata = e.currentTarget.content; // get the bitmap
_bithold.addChild( _bitdata ); // add the bitmap to a sprite on the stage
[Code]....
I have a movie, inside that movie I have a thumbnail editor name ThumbEdit.
ThumbEdit has a movieclip on its stage called "holder1". In the document class of ThumbEdit I create a sprite "_bithold" and place it on the stage at holder1.x and holder1.y. When the image loads, I add the image to _bithold and then mask _bithold with a shape. So, I want to grab a snapshot of the masked region of _bithold but I'm not sure how I should go about doing that.

I have an empty movie clip(say A) on a layer and then I have masked it with a display object(say a rectangle). Now I have an movie clip(say B) containing a input text field and I am adding this movie clip(B) dynamically in movie Clip(A).
When I compile it, the input text field is taking input for sure, cz I have applied some traces on change event of that field. But the characters inside the field are not showing up.

I'm doing an application where the user can draw shapes on a movieclip, and the 'paint' in those shapes are masked by a background the user chooses before painting. So far, so good.
The problem is, the user is able to print the draw he just did. But when he hits the 'Print' button on the application, the printer prints either the whole mask, or the shape all in black (according to what movieclip i put in the PrintJob function), which it's not good.Is there anyway I can print this masked shape?
