Ive been making some advanced buttons with some trendy transitions using Lostinbeta's onEnterFrame/ hitTest method below:

//this script is on my mc (which is the button)
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)){

How do I add a label to a button? Using a component button, in CS3 it seemed quite straightforward however CS4 has me stumped. I am trying to make up a website with a row of buttons across the top to appear in all the pages. I have a controling page names portfolio.fla and several other pages to link in with this one. I have placed a button in the library from the components tab in the windows tab. Then dragged out 5 buttons and have them all working properly and linking up to the other pages, but when I went to place labels on them found myself having problems. Clearly not a good day for me.
View 5 RepliesHaving got my AS to work nicely - I was happy as the everything fitted into to place - so I moved onto adding a few more buttons placed in some new MCs. problem: When I press buttons that having nothing to do with the main script a dynamic border ,that changes size to reveal a new picture when it is loaded after a preload, decides to do a loop. Even the main picture flickers as if it has also been reloaded even though that script is executed by a button with an instance name.
The border MC uses a onClipEvent (enterframe) command to initiate the script - does this mean it reponds everytime any MC has something happen to it? If so, can I somehow write the AS so that the onClipEvent refers to the event of a specific MC so it does not respond to all MC events?
My flash files is designed like this:
Layer 1 Pages with labels and actionscript for that specific layer (stop, gotoandplay, and Uiloader source)
Layer 2 is a Movieclip with a navbar
Layer 3 Dropdown menu where buttons are placed inside a movieclip
Layer 4 Actionscript
My problem is finding the correct way to link from a button inside a movieclip to a label inside another movieclip.
I have three links
Link1, Link 3, and Link 4
The current code I am using is
import flash.net.navigateToURL;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var link_four:link4;

I am trying to add actions to my buttons i want the user to be sent to another page when the button is clicked. The action i have attached to the button is
on (release) {getURL(www.pharmeng.ie,_self);

I am working on the tutorial [URL]
The tutorial uses a multiline textbox to display data from MySQL but I wanted to know how I would code if I used a SINGLE LINE textbox and added a BACK AND NEXT BUTTONS to show one record at a time.
I saw on a website once (I wish I could remember which site it was), flash buttons that were creatively animated. The button would appear just as text, but when you hovered over it, an image would rise from behind it, then, when you moused off, the image would go back down. It did this for each of the buttons and I cannot figure out how to get that to work, especially since in CS4 with AS3 you cannot use AS on a button. It's also really difficult to add a motion preset to a button....

I have an MC that has a graphic. I have faked buttons for just the over state, so it shows a border around a portion of the graphic. That works fine until I added this to the MC:
this.onPress = function(){ if (this._currentframe != 1) {
rewind = true;
}}
The onPress function does what it should do, but the buttons no longer show their over state when I hover over them.
I followed a tutorial to build a click-thru photo gallery that is linked to an XML file. The tutorial set up the navigation as being controlled by clicking the images, but I wanted to add some more obvious navigation prompts for viewers on my website. The "next" button was easy to do as I just copied the actions for clicking the images on the main section of the stage, but when it came to building the "previous" button, the code was not working. I want the button to take the audience to the image before the image they are on when clicked.
I've pasted what I have below and highlighted the sections that I have altered. If you could please tell me what I'm doing wrong, that would be great.

In CS5, I want to create a series of buttons that when clicked will linked to other frames in the same timeline. So one button will link to frame 5, one will link to frame 10, one will link to 15, etc. All the buttons will appear across the top of the stage on a layer, and I want them to appear on all of the frames so the user can click back-and-forth to the different frames/screens.
1. Is the best way to do this to just add the buttons to frame 1 and add a keyframe to the last frame in the timeline, frame 15, so they are copied to all the frames in between?

View 1 RepliesAdding 2 numbers having 3 textfields and a button, I can do. The first textfield for input one, the second one for input two and the third one for output (result). The button triggering the operation. [URL]. How can I add 2 numbers only with one textfield( result) and 4 buttons. One button for number 1, another one for number 2, another one for the operator +, and finally another one for the sign =.

I am currently having a problem adding the Tell Target action to a button. The following is the hierarchy of my timeline:
-Root
---Movie Clip (Instance Name="FadeIn")
------Button (Instance Name="Button")
----------Movie Clip (Instance Name="About")
The Movie Clip I'm trying to control is "About". This MC is also placed within the 'Over' state of "Button". I keep receiving the Target Not Found error in Base="_level0.FadeIn".
i want the user to click on the relevent button, and this will add an accented-character (such as "�" to the textbox they are typing in.here is my code so far:
[AS]on(release){
textbox_cont = _root.inputtext.inputtext.text;
accent = "u00E0";
output = "";
[code]....
1: when the user clicks this button, the accent is added to the input textbox, but they have to click on the textbox again before they can start typing.How can i set it so they can continue typing straight away?
2: - more importantly my rather basic code only adds a character to the end of the textbox-contents. At present, if a user wants to edit text they have typed, they cannot insert accents.How can i set it to add the character where the user has placed the (flashing) cursor?

Im stuck with adding roleovers to my movie clip buttons. At the moemnt my button code is set so that once clicked it stays on a framewhich is another colour, it then stays that colour until another button is clicked. This works fine, but now I need to ad a rolover to each button that is the same colour as the button once clicked - my code goes like this
var buttons_array:Array=new Array(home_btn,showcase_btn,aboutus_btn,approach_btn,contact_btn);
for(var i:int=0;i<buttons_array.length;i++){ buttons_array[i].mouseChildren=false; buttons_array[i].buttonMode=true;

View 10 RepliesI am trying to connect dynamic text to scrollbar and buttons. I did tutorial and Lynda.com and practically pasted the code in with my file names and for some reason it does not work. It says I have a "Access of Undefined Property mask_mc" Did I need to create a variable for this? I didn't in the tutorial.
Right now I have the dynamic text loading successfuly in 2 different places and I wantd to add the scrollbar. I put the variables on frame 1 code and then I put the actually load code on the frame where it is needed.

I have 22 buttons (each named buttoni where i is a number between 0-21...e.g. button0, button1, button2) that I've created and artfully arranged on the stage in my .fla file. The document class for the .fla file is People.as, and in People I'd like to give each button a rollover and click event listener, but I can't figure out how to refer to them using a loop.
Here's my code, which obviously doesn't work:
ActionScript Code:
private function initButtons() : void {
for (var i:int = 0; i<numSquares; i++) {
var thisButton : String = "button" + i;

All the movieclips are nested with the actionscript saved in a seperate file so the stage is empty. As I am new to as3 I don't know how to add buttons to which will then open other nested movieclips. I have looked at various tutorials but none cover exactly this issue.Otherwise if someone could maybe create a mc button and movieclip and add it to this file along with the relevant actionscript that would be really appreciated as I would have an example to refer to.
View 0 RepliesI understand that the major difference between AS2 and AS3 is that in AS3 you have to put all your script in a separate layer, and unlike AS2 you can't add them to buttons or movie clips themselves on their respective layers.
I'm doing a project for school where I'm required to make a flash portfolio.
I have Five buttons, and right now, two of those buttons goes to a frame to display a picture. However, I've made the other buttons dynamic, and they call other swf files to show an image gallery, a game and another image viewer.
What I have a problem with is when I click the first dynamic button, and the swf if added to the parent movie clip, it does not leave the stage when another dynamic button is clicked.
So what I have is all the SWFs loaded on top of each other.
writing a code that will remove child for each button when ANY other button is clicked.
here is the code I have:
stop();
btn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
function buttonClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop(3);

Using an XML file, I am pulling a series of JPG images from my hard drive onto the stage. Each of these images will need to have different mouse events placed on them that will take the user to another part of the movie, or perhaps to a different scene.
The attached code successfully pulls the images to the stage -- as JPG images -- and spaces them. What i need to do is make each of them a
button or movie clip, each with a specific action (information which can be gleaned from the XML).
Eventually, I'll need to show images from this XML file based on user-selected criteria via some check boxes. And I'll also need to build some kind of "show next 9 images" and "show previous 9 images" functionality.
