I'm trying to find the way to attach the same actionscript to multiple buttons(over 100 buttons) at one time, instead of copying and pasting the actionscript in every frame.I have over 100 buttons as a seperate object in the library. In timeline, there are 100 keyframe, that each frame contains one button. Each instance is from one button.I don't want to write a same actionscript in for every button object.

View 2 RepliesI have created a map (1 frame movie) at Flash MX 2004, that each area is a movieclip. Each movieclip has a unique name. I am trying to dynamically attach events to each movieclip, by reading their corresponding names from an XML file, with the following code:
Code:
areas_xml = new XML();
areas_xml.onLoad = initAreaBtns;
areas_xml.load("map_data.xml");

As you can see I am trying to create a roll over effect for each area/movieclip. The problem is that only the last movieclip is affected.

I am adding a mc to the stage (linkage name: SavedTopic) via mouse click calling this function. There will be a random number of these clips, based on user decisions. How can I set the 'savedTitle' and 'savedText' as variables unique to this specific MC, that can be accessed later via textbox inside the 'topic' movie clip. I've tried:

View 2 RepliesI am having problems with attaching multiple instances of the same mc, and tring to get an onMouseDown event for each of them.
The problem is that if I mousedown on one of the attached mc's, then all the attached mc's will trigger the onMouseDown event instead of only the one I clicked on.
the trace returns "onMouseDown called on 1" ...."n" instead of a single trace statement.
code:
function createSlideIcons(num){
var targetMC:MovieClip = this.form1.slideNav.slider;
var spacer = 5;

Say I have a symbol MyButton, as a button with the 4 special frames. When you mouse-over/mouse-out an instance, I'd like another object to be affected... text in some text box changing, or the item becoming visible, or similar. I know AS3 but I'm a real noob at CS3. I don't really get how actions work in CS3.

I've attached a sound to menu buttons using AS. The sound worked perfectly until I created a external preloader file to load the swf into a container_mc. Now no button sound? If I load the swf without the preloader file the sound works?

I have a problem when making flash applications with more than one frame that has symbols placed on it in that I can't declare all of the event listeners for the objects at the same time and I have found that even if I put them all on the first frame, add the event listeners, then click through to the next frame then the buttons won't work on that frame.
Does anyone have any idea how I could solve this? I did consider myself a fairly competent AS3 programmer until I realised I had no idea how to handle this sort of thing. Solved: I initialised the clips from my external class and then addChild'd and removeChild'd them as I needed to and placed their x and y on addChilding.
i have an if statement, an object will go to a new frame if multiple buttons are pressed
PHP Code:[code].....

Using Flash 8 and as2.0 I am trying to create a simple (!) app. that lets a user click one of ten buttons to go to a gallery.
On frame 1 of the .fla I have ten buttons, and on frame 2 a target mc. Frame 2 also has the script to create an xml 'object'. In the same folder as the .swf, I have ten xml files.
How can I get each button when clicked to 'pass' the url for the specific xml file to the xml script in frame 2? My xml script works pertectly if I key in the url, ie
I have three buttons. My goal is that each button will load and play a sound file from the internet. Here is what I have:
function loadPlaySnd(pSpecifier1:String):void {
arguments;

Every Button I press goes to the same sound file. The best I can figure, is that the file I loaded the first time I pressed a button has been uploaded, and from there I cannot load another file over that variable when I try another button.
I'm designing a website for a Reiki/Spiritual advisor thingymebob and I have a menu on the left of my page of buttons and when I click a button it displays the contents of the button on the stage. Easy enough, so to speak, but the code I have written should send the viewer to a certain frame in the timeline where the tween begins.
When I play the swf and click the home button it works perfectly on the first page and if I go down the menu and click every other button in order they too all work fine, but as soon as I start clicking any other button randomly there is no tween effect and it seems to send me to the wrong page(!) plus straight to the clear text on the stage without any fading in tween. As though it has just gone to the last frame of the tween.
Here's the code below. I've asked the spiritual advisor for guidance and he sent me here, so please prove him right - ha ha!
stop();
myHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,
mouseDownHandler2);
function mouseDownHandler2(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(281);

I am using tweenLite in my Fla and I have set up this code sofar which is working fine:
Code:
function tweenTopicUp(topic):void {
var myTween:TweenLite = new TweenLite(topic, 0.6, {alpha:0.5, ease:Expo.easeOut});[code].........
The problem is that i have about 10 buttons (topic1, topic2, etc.) to go. I know I need to do something with Array but I can't seem to get it working .
What I have done:
1/ A very simple Flash movie
2/ 5 very basic rollover buttons
What I want to happen:Everytime I'd hover the mouse on each button, I would like the background animation to run. And have the animation stop on mouseout for each button.I was able to make it on one button via this tutorial: [URL]But this doesn't seem to work with multiple buttons involved.

it does not work. Do I need separate frames in the action layer or?

View 5 RepliesI have 50 buttons. Each button has to make 30 MCs _visible = false. Which results in 30 lines of code on each of the 50 buttons. The 30 lines of code are all the same for each button. How can I put this 30 lines of code in one spot, and not on every button? So when one of the buttons is clicked, it just runs this same code.

I'm completely new to this forum, and would like to ask your help for one issue. I am working on an interactive flash map, I was able to set all the countries borders with the help of fireworks (awesome tool), and import them back to flash and set each country as a button. I would like to set all of the buttons to have the same properties for example : All the buttons have default red color, and will have a mouse hover frame that will change the color of the button to blue. I DO NOT want to set each button manually, because I would like to have the choice to change the mouse hover color to a different one, and would like to avoid passing each button and changing each one's mouse hover frame.
Is there a way I can built a template of a frame, and for each button set its mouse hover frame as the template frame I built ? And then if I make any changes to the template frame, all of my buttons would be automatically updated ?
