This function all works correctly, except where i am assigning an action to the onRelease event of a given button. Every button is assigned to the same value (appears to be the first value pulled from the array).
function createSubItems() {
vspacer = 6;
i = 0;

I have is a movie with a button in it called button.i've duplicated the movie (manually) several times on the stage.the movies have been given instance names of movie1, movie2 etc.i've then used actionscript to assign actions to the buttons.i have the following code:
Code:
for (i = 1; i < 6; i++)

I am new to FLASH and have created a rotating banner for our website with 5 roatating images with 5 invisble buttons linking to 5 landing pages. And it works the first loop through. However when it gets to action 5 for my last image, that link continues for all the buttons is subsequent loops.What do I need to add to my code to get the actions to loop like the timeline is looping? Code used for the links. This is the link that continues after the first run of the banner:
var url5:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.facebook.com/MoDOT.KansasCity");, onStageClick5);

I got a set of buttons and a text field where they load the content.I'm trying to not make one zillion functions and keep the code neat so i guessed i would try set the buttons' actions within the loop too. I firstly had some problems getting the i counter inside the onRelease function (actually I don't think i ever got how to do it). But I tried this and worked:
stop();var comprarXML = new XML();comprarXML.ignoreWhite = true;comprarXML.load('flash/comprar.xml');comprarXML.onLoad = checkLoading; function checkLoading(success) { rootNode = comprarXML.firstChild; ButtonReleaseAndContent ();} function ButtonReleaseAndContent (){ for (i=0;i<12;i++){ // my buttons are not generated dynamicly, that why the count. btTemp =
[code]....
At the line where I set the text, I had a though " I may have to refer from within the button mc, since the generated code goes inside it!". So i tried the this.temp , guessing that this would be equal to the button level. A few seconds later i noticed my referencing for the text field wasn't coming from within the button, but from the root.
What i want to do is assign actions to each individual movieclip using a for loop.. let me explain Say i have 5 MovieClips on the stage... With instance names clip1, clip2, clip3.... Now what i want to do is assign a OnRollOver and OnRelease to each 1 So individual code for each would be something like this.

is there someone who know's how to give the actions to a button on top of another button. If I try to do this, the button on top doesn't reacts.
View 10 Replies I got this early version of a sliding menu. See file "scrolling.fla". Its got four images that slides into place when you click on the small colored buttons. The thing is I want the movie to quit/shut down when I press the red button, AFTER the red image has moved back in place.The code for the red button is:
on (press) {
_root.xnew = _root.mask2._x+(-2-1)*458.5/2;
}
I added the following:
on (rollOut) {
_root.unloadMovie();
}
It works in a sense but I dont want to use "on (rollOut)", because you might shut down the slideshow involuntary moving the cursor on your way to the other buttons. So the question is, yet again, how to quit the movie after the red image is back in place?
is it possible to add multiple actions to the same button.e.g.on stage theres only one button, on first click it should make mc1 visible , on second click it should make mc2 visible and so on.
View 3 RepliesI`ve made a movie that has one button , now when I click on button this code will execute exactly :
Code:
b1.onPress = function() {
loadMovie("textarea-load.swf",555);
};
I need add another code to hide textarea-load.swf from my movie and this action should occur when I press same button once again . Note : I don`t have any movie with "555" instance name but it helps me to run my movie
I got four buttons that pull up images in a slide show. I want the fourth button to first pull the image in place and THEN shut down the movie clip. I thought this would be easy, but no. Unfortunately I canīt attach the fla-file on this forum. You could take a look at this:
on (press) {
_root.xnew = _root.mask2._x+(-2-1)*458.5/2;
}
Thatīs the code for the last/fourth button, it pulls the fourth image in place. So thatīs in order.I added this below in the same script:
on (rollOut) {
_root.unloadMovie();
}
It works in a sense. The movie falls into place when I click the button and the movie quits when I move the cursor. But it also means you might shut down the slide show involuntary when you move the cursor going for any of the other buttons.
I have made a simple menu with a 'slider' using this tutorial. What I am wondering is if it's possible to have different actions for one button. Here is my first menu button:
Code:
on (rollOver) {
// slider - Movie Clip's Instance Name. button_1 - Button's Instance Name.

How can I make a mc witch I us as a button fuctional for two actions.I mean when I press the button that a clib fades out and when I press again it fades in again I tried it with an if but the it only works one time.This is the script
Code:
but.onRelease = function(){
if (mc._alpha <= 1){
[code].....
I used a tutorial to attempt to set up my code so that after a button is released and an external .swf is loaded the same button can't be activated again (on release or on rollover) until a different button is released.
Here is an example of my actionscript. What I'm trying to do here is just have the button not replay the mc in the over state if it's movie clip is already loaded in[code]...
I have a symbol that is movieclip (symbol name switch) which has got a switch on/off image inside it, if u click it, the 'switch on' image comes (frame 5) and when u click again the 'switch off' image comes (frame 1) Nw i want the symbol such that when i press it not only does the 'switch on' image come, but also change the image of another movieclip (symbol name 0bit) which is in the root timeline and not inside "switch" symbol
PS: Am using Flash CS4
This is killing me, real simple. I have an mc that has 12 buttons on 12 layersall btns have alpha tweens for 10 frames so the appear like thisbtn 1 alpha fr 1 to 10btn2 alpha fr10 to 20btn3 alpha fr20 to 30 and so on.
at the end of the clip there is a stop.

I have buttons, I can't assigned them simple actions such as GetUrl, like I use to do in flash 8.I am now in CS3 and can't make it work.
View 1 RepliesI have a project where I have 80 or so invisible buttons, that when clicked, need to load a movie clip from the library into a mc on the stage, as well as cause a rollover and rollout state on a "movie clip button" that's sitting underneath the invisible button. This is in ActionScript 2.0.Here's a example of one of my button actions:
ActionScript Code:[code]....
The way it works is "invis_1_1" is the first invisible button in a group, the 1_1 refers to the button being in the first column and the first row in a grid. The "movie button" it's controlling is "col1row1" which has a "on" and "off" state. When the invisible button is clicked it loads "1_1", which is a movie clip in the library, into a holder movie clip.The dilema I'm running into is I'll need to write this code over 80 times with a slight change each time to the instance names etc. I'm sure there's a way to do this with an array but I'm still new to using arrays.
So I am trying to make a button in flash which when pressed, goes to frame 253, plays until it reaches 264, and then gotoAndPlay frame 527. The code that I used worked, until I added another button which does the same thing but with different frames. Both buttons are on the same page. The buttons seem to work once, then forget what it is they are supposed to do.Here is the code I used:
ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(253);

I am using an external .as file for my code. How do I add actions to a button that is not on the stage but its on another frame in the movie (one that user access later). What is the best practice to add actions to items not present at the start?
Of course I could make another copy of the button on frame 1 and add it off the stage in the invisible part. This is what I was doing till now. IS there another way to do this, a more ethical way?
How can I make a mc witch I us as a button fuctional for two actions.I mean when I press the button that a clib fades out and when I press again it fades in again I tried it with an if but the it only works one time.This is the script

How do you trigger the actions associated with a button
take for example a button called "buttonGo" that you have specific code in. When you click button b you also want buttonGo to execute its code.

View 6 RepliesThere was a thread, not sure if it was in AS or Experiments or MX, but is was this "McSlider" .as driven thing. The link below is my adaptation of it. I am even sure some one brought up nesting mcs with button actions. I just can't find the thread.(i.e the boy is an mc inside the slider with a rollOver and RollOut, but they do not work.
View 2 RepliesI am attempting to fire successive actions from the same button by setting different variables throughout the process like so...(using Fuse to animate)
var spotOne:Boolean = true;
var spotTwo:Boolean = false;
var spotThree:Boolean = false;
var spotFour:Boolean = false;

This isn't working for me.

I saw this done before and know it's possible... I just need some clarity as to the process.
