ActionScript 2.0 :: Button Inside Movieclip Play Out And Return To Menu?
Feb 1, 2011
So, in my base flash file I have movieclips playing inside of a container.
They are cued from external .swf files.
When one is pushed another checks to see if that movie is at its "midframe" and then plays the remainder of that movie before playing the movie that was pushed.
ALL OF THIS, works fine. The problems is that I have a button inside of these movieclips that I need to play the remainder of the movie to then return to the main menu.
This is the code on the buttons which cycle through the movieclips:
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "illustration";
container.loadMovie(illustration);
[Code].....
If I wanted the movie to only return to to the main menu I could use this code, but it's flawed for two reasons:
on(release){
_root.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
a. This doesn't play the rest of the movie before returning to the main menu.
b. Once it returns you to the main menu, none of the other movies will play again.
i already create one main movieiclip(index_mc),including menu button to link multiple movieclip, which is containt: aboutus_mc, story_mc and gallery_mc. all button in index_mc run perfectly.
In gallery_mc i've made thumbnail mc (btnthumb1_mc, btnthumb2_mc,btnthumb3) which inside already has button(btn1,btn2,btn3) to show large images in movieclip (largeimages_mc) which is large images contain several jpeg
the problem thumbnail as button cant link to show largeimages_mc, and i already put as2 in button, which is:
ActionScript Code: var currentLink:MovieClip = a_mc; //buttons mode[code]...........
when i click on the button the alpha of this button will be 0.5 , when i click on another button the alpha of the previous button is still 0.5 , and so if i clicked on all buttons the alpha of all buttons will be 0.5,,,i didn't want that , i want when i click on the button , alpha return to 1 for the previous button .
I'm creating a menu bar that is a movieclip and inside the movieclip consists of the buttons.Now the menu bar is twice as WIDE as what is visible on the stage.The only part you can see is the text 'menu' on a bar.Then when the mouse hits the bar, it flies across the screen to the otherside of the bar where the menu buttons are.Now the menu bar does its animation over 20 frames - the last frame being the frame where the menu buttons are now visible.
My question is fairly simple, but I can't find a sollution. I have a button, and I want to play a movieclip inside a movieclip from the main stage. It is the 5th frame inside the movieclip 'page' from the movieclip 'book'. I have this, but it doesn't seem to work.
I have a button inside another button which is inside a movieclip. *whew*I have it so that when you click on the movieclip, a dialog box pops up. I have two buttons on the dialog box, but for some reason you can't click on them and when you do, the dialog box just disappears. Here's a picture of what I'm talking about, so how do i get the "YES/NO" buttons to work? Oh, the buttons are not included in that Graphic

Im using an animated movieclip to create a pulldown menu..the thing is that I want to anymate the buttons inside the pulldown as well..so I therefore used a similar movieclip inside the pulldown menu to make this animation
I have been using TweenLite for all of my easing. I was wondering what the code is for having a button inside a movieclip not active while the movieclip is tweening.Then when the movieclip does finish tweening the button then becomes active.
How can I get a button inside a movieclip link to a frame in another movieclip on the scene? I tried this code:
function gotoCenter(event:MouseEvent):void { MovieClip(root).centermc.gotoAndPlay(2); } skruetest.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoCenter);
..where "skruetest" is the button, "centermc" is the movieclip where I want to go to frame 2. I don�t get errors with this code, but nothing happens when I click the button. What can I do?
I have a button inside a movieclip, to which I would like to apply a rollover function. When rolled over, this button (inside MOVIECLIP 1) would make (MOVIECLIP 2) jump to second frame. I'm using Flash 8.This is turning onto a real headache for me, since i've searched every single forum and thread concerning this matter, and nothing seems to work.

I'm working on a game, and it was working fine until I added more frames. I have a menu (frame 1) and a separate (frame 2) for the main game. Once I added the menu with a play button I stated to get this error when going to frame 2. TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at testgame1_fla::MainTimeline/checkHitTest()
i have a movieclip within a movieclip within a movieclip... i want to simply tell flash to play that movieclip once i click on it.. however, i get an error saying "1120: Access of undefined property tl_character" when i try to publish the file..[code]i know there might be a solution by using a custom class for "police1" but i'd like to know how i could play that movieclip using a function thats written on the main timeline..
I've got an intro for a movie,and a single button appears around frame 58,and I've tried giving it a function so it will skip to fram 478 and play the whole movie from there on:
but it keeps saying "statement must appear within handler" and I've got the same problem when the movie reaches frame 477 I want it to go back to frame 58 and play from there so it would loop all until the button is clicked:
Can a button play a movieclip if it lives within another movieclip? Let me explain: Buttons in a map key ran route animations on the map. Code for button (accessed by selecting button and F9) ..reads : on (release) { gotoAndPlay("BusRoute_375");}
[Code]...
All layers and consequently all route movieClips that relate to the map as well as the stop codes for the individual route animations now reside within that MovieClip which sits on a new layer above the map key layer. However, the key buttons no longer run the route animations. What should be done so that when clicked they still play the route MovieClips. Its like the button code cant see the layers it once refered to, now that they are in a movieclip.
I have a movie clip on a scene with a button inside. How can I make this button to go to play frames on the scene but not inside the movie clip in AS3.0?
is there anyway to have a button play frames 5-10 on a movie clip inside the current frame, as well as skipping to...lets say...frame 10 of the scene?
i want to create a site where buttons go to different pages, but those pages have animations in and out.so if someone is in one page, and clicks a button to go to another, that page plays the "out" animation while the other page plays the "in" animation.
Basically, I have a button and on click it displays a menu. I want to click that menu a second time and the menu closes. Currently, every time you click the button, the menu reopens. I pasted the Flex livedoc example below. If you click the button, the menu keeps reopening.Now, I rigged it up by setting a var to open and closed, so when clicking the button it does a check. However, if you click away from the screen, the HIDE event gets dispatched, and the menu closes. This messed up the open close var being set.
How could I make this Flex example below show the menu on button click, and then on a second button click, it closes the menu? Take into affect that if you click away from the menu, it closes it.Also, I played around with the MOUSE_DOWN_OUTSIDE event for the button and set the preventDefault, and the FlexMouseEvent event.cancelable is set to false.Changing to a PopUpMenuButton is not an option. I have to much skinning involved.Here is the Flex example:
<mx:Script> <![CDATA[ // Import the Menu control. import mx.controls.Menu;
I'm adding a MovieClip with with the following code in the main timeline:
var mcCiclo_01:mc_ciclo=new mc_ciclo; function ciclo(event:MouseEvent):void{ addChild(mcCiclo_01); }
I want to use a button inside that movieclip to link to an external web page. I was able to do that with dot notation if the movieclip was "fisically" in the main timeline but this way doesn't work.
I've got a movieClip with some Actionscript applied to it (to make it rotate, stop onMouseOver, and continue onMouseOut).Now, I basically want a button inside that movie clip - applied to the object that's spinning.Whenever I put the button inside the movieClip, Flash doesn't recognise it. According to the SWF, the button doesn't exist.So, how do I get a button in a movieClip that has Actionscript applied to it?Or, am I going about this the wrong way and there's an obvious answer that I'm missing?(My idea is, for those who watch Stargate, to have the inner chevron ring spin, for it to stop spinning onMouseOver and then have the user click a chevron
I'm trying to add an event listener to a button inside a movieclip. I have a movieclip called MainMenuGraphic that I get from the .fla library, and inside that movie clip is a button named btnNew. When btnNew is pressed the mouse event is supposed to trigger a handler that runs a trace, but I have not been able to get that trace to show in my output window. This is my code:
How can I get a button inside a movieclip link to a frame in another movieclip on the scene?
I tried this code:
function gotoCenter(event:MouseEvent):void { MovieClip(root).centermc.gotoAndPlay(2); } skruetest.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoCenter);
where "skruetest" is the button, "centermc" is the movieclip where I want to go to frame 2. I dont get errors with this code, but nothing happens when I click the button. What can I do?
I created a flyout menu from this tutorial: [URL]. It basically created buttons within a movie clip for animation. Everything works great, but I cannot get the dropdown buttons to go to frames outside of the movie clip. Within the movie clip I am adding script to the dropdown buttons as follows: on (release) { gotoAndStop("Scene 1",10); }
But it won't work. The buttons only seem to be able to go to frames within the movie clip such as: on (release) { gotoAndStop(10); }
