ActionScript 2.0 :: Button Not Showing Over Frame?
May 22, 2007
what I need is to make my button display its over frame when I move the mouse over it. I can do it using onClipEvent(.....) { fine, but I cant use that... I think. The code I am using is in frame 1 of the timeline and is this:
As soon as I make the button have a function when pressed, it doesn't show the over frame. I'll attach my fla so you can see it, but I would like a solution that allows me to use the above code and no code on the actual button movieclip because it wont be there until I insert it later during runtime.
I'm trying to create a video gallery that has thumbnails. But I want the thumbs to be the first frame of the video. Is there any way to extract the first (or any other) frame and display it as bitmap data without having to download the entire .flv file?
I'm using a really simple PHP contact form. It works well and sends the information to my email but it will not go to the 'Thank you' message on the next frame.[code]...
I have a flex application that uses BrowserManager for Deep Linking.
But whenever the # changes the new hash fragment gets appending to the bottom of the page. In IE it is inside a frame that says "Hidden frame for Browser History support." I didn't even know it worked that way. But anyways it is not supposed to be showing up visibly on the page but it is..
I'm sure this is probably something simple, but sometimes when I double click a button on the stage to enter its timeline, I don't get the up, over, down, hit, timeline. I just get a timeline that looks like a regular layer.
I'm making an interactive website using ActionScript 3 and no matter what I try and do I keep getting the following error messages:
Characters, Layer 'actions', Frame 2, Line 5 1021: Duplicate function definition.
Characters, Layer 'actions', Frame 2, Line 12 1021: Duplicate function definition .Characters, Layer 'actions', Frame 2, Line 19 1021: Duplicate function definition.
I don't really understand what I'm doing wrong because it says "duplicate function" yet they aren't the same functions. Here is the ActionScript I've used for the first page:
I created a class in actionscritpt that extends the spark.components.Button, as I will be loading a bunch of buttons at runtime. I have a SkinnableContainer.mxml file that the spark buttons will be loaded into.When I use the addElement() method within that mxml file like so my custom skin for my button does not show.
I have the following code all seems to work ok, but the Hand Cursor does not display on roll over/hover to enable the viewer to see that its a link, please let me know what I am doing wrong(pleanty prob), first big thing I have doen in AS3. Also using CS4.
I have the following code in but still nothing: venueBtn.buttonMode=true; venueBtn.useHandCursor = true;
You can see that there are simple roll overs for the header (this is the middle part with the photo on it and the buttons on the right); you rollOver one and the photo changes.Never one to leave well-enough alone, the boss wants to add this wrench to the works:He's not sure that people will "get" that you can hover over the buttons and will never get to see the photo and message change. So he wants the photo/message to kind of rotate through on a loop, then have it so you can override the rotation by rollingOver the button. Ok, no problem.BUT I would like the button's rollOver effect to be seen with the cooresponding photo/message. This is what I can't figure out, without trying something hacky.
I really dont get whats going on here in the code.... It looks fine and even trace the values that i need but it just does not work. In overall, i have an Empty MC which is populated with 8 thumb via a for loop each time i click the next button. When i press next it must go forward and show the next set of thumb of the xml file which have been loaded into a variable at very first.
The previous button works opnly when i am on the 2 nd set of thumbs but as soon as i am on the 3 or 4rth set then its a mess. the function does populate my array but does not show them... it says undefined
I am working with Flash CS5 (AS3) on an iMAC running 10.6.8, My problem is, when I test my Flash file in Flash, the button rollovers change the cursor from the arrow to the hand. When I publish the file as SWF and HTML, the cursor only changes in the SWF file, not the HTML. People know that there is a button there if it doesn't change. Has any one run into this issue before, if so, how can I correct this issue?
I have a introduction page with a video background, and a button that sends the user to another page.I just have one problem, and that's when you see the page online, for a slit of a second, you just see the button on a black background before the video is loaded and starts playing. Not really sure how to go about it.I recon the button should first be visible when the video appears or are loaded..? I have the following AS. "Mybtn" is my button.
var videos:Array=new Array("videos/video.flv"); stop(); stage.scaleMode=StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE; stage.align=StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
I created a MovieClip and added it to the stage(addChild). Next, I created a Button (exactly BaseButton) and I added it to the MovieClip.The case is it won't show up. When I add directly my button to the stage (my Main class is document class ) there is no problem. But I want it to show up in my MovieClip and I dont know what I am doing wrong =[.The addChild is working because when I
Code: trace(controls.getChildAt(0),getChildAt(0)); I am getting
I want to make a button that makes you got to a random frame within a certain range (eg frame 41-50) when you press it. I have tried various codes but so far no luck. Im using AS 2 and the button is within a couple of movie clips, but you can still click it when you test
I have a button, and inside the button, i have a dynamic text field that i want to display a global variable in the "over" frame. (when the mouse goes over the button)
Normally, to make a dynamic text field show a global variable, I put the dynamic text box INSIDE a movie clip, and then define the variable in the movie clip.
For example, i would put this into the movie clip containing the dynamic text box:
I have a character, And in its movieclip I`ve got 3 frames (first has an idle pose, second a walking pose and third a running pose), each with a movieclip with an action in it.Well, what I wanted is that when I am walking with this character, and press the SHIFT key he runs.And I`ve got the following code
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT))[code]....
But when I click the shift button, he shows the first frame static of the movie clip in frame 3 (running frame).
there is a button on 1st frame. there is a movie clip on frame 2. I named the movie clip as "ball_mc" I want to go to frame 2 when I click on button on 1st frame. I know that the code "gotoAndPlay(2);" on button will work. But for some reasons, i want to try another way.... i tried several codes:
I have 5 different buttons for the navigation on my flash website.The first page is on frame one.When you click on any of the 5 buttons I want it to play frames 10 - 15 before moving to which ever frame the button 1-5 corresponds to. So:
Click on button 1 > plays frames 10 - 15 > Goes to frame 20 Click on button 2 > plays frames 10 - 15 > Goes to frame 30 Click on button 3 > plays frames 10 - 15 > Goes to frame 40 etc
I built a button in one of the movie clips in my project,
when I release this button, it goes to the 41st frame of the main timeline and continue to play until the frame 70 which has got a stop; command. till here everything's just OK. But I want this button to do something more though I don't know whether it's possible or not.
I want this button to go and play the frame number 41 in the main timeline, and then after it stopped at the frame 70 , then jump to frame 73.
I've been following the book "Beggining Flash Programing for Dummies" and I have come up to a part where I create a very simple game. The script involved in the frames are FRAME here:
I have a small flash site made up of a number of pages all on the one timeline.
The query is this. When i release a button i want the timeline to roll on for x frames (fading components out) before going to the frame that button links to (The beginning of the new page).
I have no idea what AS to use for this.
No matter where in the timeline you are, the button should fade out that area and then skip to a new one.
I have a problem where I have declared an onRollOver event handler on frame 5. I also have a button on frame 4 telling flash to go to frame 5.But, if the mouse is already over the movieclip on frame 5, the rollover event will not play.Is there a way to force this onRollOver or another workaround for this?
I am making a website with a flash menu. I want it to gotoAndPlay a particular frame (frame A) when the cursor is on a button. When you roll the cursor off of the button I want it to gotoAndPlay a different frame (frame B). That part was easy enough. But here is the problem. If you click on the button I want it to continue playing frame A even when you roll off.
I have created a racing game and over all i got 3 frames and about 10 main layers Anyway, i have tried so many scripts now and they're not working The game begins on frame 2 while the main menu is on frame 1. Not sure if it matters but i have the menu copied on all the frame 1's of all the layers...

What I'm trying to do is play 5 frames all attached with short audio wav files one right after another. I want to be able to press play for each frame.When I insert either of these codes:
Code: play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSound); } function playSound(event:MouseEvent):void
[code]....
The video goes straight to playing the frame 1 wav sound file I have there, then when I press the button it rushes through the rest of the sound files in the rest of the frames and starts back at frame 1.Am I missing a code that I need to insert into the other frames, or am I using the wrong coding?
