I can assign directly to button but I want it by keyframe. I have tried by instance name. On release loadmovie but there is a problem.

View 2 RepliesI am creating a dynamic group of buttons based on a string that i pass to flash file. There is no problem creating these buttons (that I do duplicating a movieclip from my library) The question is, that i need these buttons to open another page, all buttons the same, but passing a parameter. How can i assign the action to my buttons?
My frame 1 code is at this moment:
for (i=0; i<totalItems; i++) {
_root.attachMovie('loader', 'imageLoader'+i, getNextHighestDepth());
_root['imageLoader'+i]._x = 132*(i);
_root['imageLoader'+i]._y = 1;
_root['imageLoader'+i].imageLoader.loadMovie(_root['img'+i]);
}
The string that flash receives is something like
totalItems=3&img0=pic01.jpg&id0=01&img1=pic02.jpg& id1=02
and the parameter i want to pass to the new page is the value of 'id'.
Me and some friends here at school (hyper island) has got an assignment to make a flashgame.Now we have some problems. We want to assign a button on the keyboard to a specific player. Something like this "Player 1 choose your button" and so on.
View 2 RepliesI must not be looking in the right area as it seems there is no way to search one particular Adobe product at a time, only "Search Forums" which means I get a bunch of useless results to "keyboard navigation" and "keyboard shortcuts" and the above subject. I am a novice user with a novice question for which there doesn't appear to exist any readily available information for which means I don't expect anyone will answer this question but I'll go ahead with it anyway in the hopes that maybe someone will read this w/in the next few months.
Here is what I'm wanting to do:
First I want to establish a list of frames on the timeline I would like the user to be able to jump to at the press of a keyboard button say the down arrow. Say this list consists of the following frame numbers, 1, 5, 10, 15, 20. I would like that if they are watching the movie on frame 12, upon pressing the down arrow it will jump to frame 15 and if they are on frame 22 upon pressing the down arrow it will jump to frame 1 etc.. I do not however want it to direct them to frame 1 if they are on frame 12 and press the down arrow for the first time.
This seems like a severely easy question (at least the part about keyboard navigation) for which I would expect they would have it in the Adobe classroom in a book or some official tip or direction about how to do this w/out possibly having to spend 15,000 years learning a coding language to do one goddam thing!

Is there a code in as 2 for a button which when clicked : Expands the browser fullscreen ( IE etc) just like the keyboard F 11 button does . I want to make one button in flash movie which when clicked sends the same command to IE/Firefox , which the F 11 keyboard button does . Have been searching the web for the same ...
My idea is not to creat a popup ...but just to command the browser for expanding fullscreens

If I wanted to change an action from a button click to a frame-based action, what do I use instead of onPress? The hints from the AS editor are all click-based.
I have a simple Flash movie, and have used AS3 to allow users to hit the up arrow and go to a certain frame, then hit the right arrow to go to another specific frame. My problem is the minute I put in "stop();" in the script so my movie stops on frame 1, the keyboard controls do not work unless I double-click the playing video. The minute I remove the stop command from my actionscript, the keyboard controls work perfectly...but my movie obviously starts playing which I do not want.
I need both the stop command AND the keyboard controls, and am at a loss.
I'm developing a game for my final year project at university that has a character who can move up and down on screen. The upper half of the screen is reflected in the lower half so that there are actually two characters on screen at once, each reacting exactly the same way to keyboard input.One of the mechanics involves the two avatars changing positions relative to their halves of the screen which requires a spacebar press to execute. The problem I'm having is that I don't want the characters to change positions once every frame if the spacebar is held down. I need to implement some sort of delay once the spacebar is pressed so that the characters won't swap positions for another second or so.
Code:
var plachaFlipPointY:Number = char.mc.y;
var shadowPlachaFlipPointY:Number = schar.mc.y;

I have a slideshow that is looped ... it contains 5 slides.I am using a gotoandPlay action to control the slide show.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
}
There is a fade transition between slides.When a button is released ... I want to gotoandPlay (frame 98) ... and then have it stop 10 frames later on (frame 108). Frame 98 includes the transition ... if I just gotoandStop on frame 108 ... I loose the transition.Is there any way to incorporate a stop action, after a gotoandPlay action on my button ... without naming instances etc.I.E.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
STOP ON FRAME 108 INTEGRATED HERE
}
Everything I have attempted is not working.
I just want to make a simple button action using actionscript 2 but I can't get it to work! I'm sorry for even asking but I've been at this for too long now for it to not work I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 and I do the following --
File -> New Flash File (ActionScript 2.0)
Insert -> New Symbol
Name - test
Type - button
Export for ActionScript
Identifier - test
And then draw it in using the keyframes and add the code to 'Actions - Button' for my button
Code:
on(release) {
trace("trace");
}
I click on the button and it animates but no action event in the trace?
How can I get an action to follow another action when a button is clicked? When a button is clicked, I want the timeline to go to a certain frame and play and when it's done playing, to go to another frame and play. I basically want two actions in one function.
[Code]...
i'm trying to use if statements but can't get this thing to work i want to check if another button is visible on release of a button to determine what action to be taken.the 'gotoAndPlay("firstscene",1)' is just there as an outcome, will be changed later. anyway this is the code i've got on the button i'm pressing. blobyellow2 is an instance of a button blobyellow is it because it's an instance that it's not working?
[Code]...
edit: sorry forgot to put what's wrong with the code. it acts as though the statement is correct no matter if it is or isn't.

View 5 RepliesWhen I worked with Flash CS3 and CS4, you could click on an element (such as a photo or a button) and a URL field would appear within the properties pane. From there, you could assign a URL to this element. I'm trying to figure out how to do this in CS5, but I can't find any way of doing it without actions
Is there anyway to simply assign a URL to an element in CS5?
