ActionScript 2.0 :: Button Actions Only Working Once?
Mar 3, 2011
So I am trying to make a button in flash which when pressed, goes to frame 253, plays until it reaches 264, and then gotoAndPlay frame 527. The code that I used worked, until I added another button which does the same thing but with different frames. Both buttons are on the same page. The buttons seem to work once, then forget what it is they are supposed to do.Here is the code I used:
ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(253);
[code]........

I have an mc (mcBreakOut1) that contains some links (simple buttons) that sits on the root. The mc gets next highest depth on release and plays to reveal the links. The problem is that none of the button actions in mcBreakOut1 seem to work. I don't know if this has something to do with the getNextHighestDepth() or because mcBreakOut1 has an onRelease=function():Void {} function associated to it that is not allowing any onRelease functions within the mc to work.

In the first frame of an fla I have the code below, only the functions in red works. When rolling over the second only the first function in blue works but the mouse freezes when attempting to rollout (green). But if I remove the code from the first frame and code each seperate button the functions work.
Any reason for this
stop();
btn_shopping.onRollOver = function () {
gotoAndStop(2)_root.main_mc.gotoAndStop(1065);
} btn_shopping.onRollOut = function () {
gotoAndStop(1)_root.main_mc.gotoAndPlay(162);
} btn_pen.onRollOver = function () {
gotoAndStop(3)_root.main_mc.gotoAndStop(1066);
} btn_pen.onRollOut = function (){
gotoAndStop(1)_root.main_mc.gotoAndPlay(283);}

I've got a basic little slide show player which is timeline-based, rolling through 5 images with alpha transitions, and on the topmost layer, I have 5 invisible movie clips which have actions applied to them as follows:
on (press) { gotoAndPlay(21);}
This action should allow for the on click button to navigate to that specific frame, or image, but for some reason it is not working.

I have a swf file that works fine on my local drive but doesn't completely work on Safari (or I.E.). I have 7 buttons on the stage. When one is clicked, it plays a mc. When that mc comes to it's final frame, all the other buttons on the stage dissappear (are set to alpha=0). When reverse button is pressed, the frames reverse and all the buttons reappear. However, when I upload the swf file to my server, everything works fine but these buttons do not disappear like they did on my local drive.

I have created a symbol with its own timeline and actions.It works fine in a Scene test but as when taken into a scene and a movie test is carried out, none of the interactive features built into the symbol work.

My main movie is called 'main.swf' and it is importing 'newgallery_1.swf' to the target named 'holder1'. It imports fine some functions work ok for example the movie pans left to right depending on the mouse x position. However when I tried to add something like the mouseOver tool tip I found here on Kirupa to a button on 'newgallery_1.swf' it works when viewed normally but when I import it to 'holder1' it no longer works.

For some reason, I can't get any actionscript on the timeline to work. Even something as simple as stop(); on frame 1 of the movie has no effect. I don't get compiler errors either. Now I have noticed that in Edit-Preferences-Actionscript-Actionscript 3 Settings, the Source Path, Library Path and External Library Path are all empty.

I am working on a Flash file and some of the buttons in the document are not working.When I test the movie the hand cursor appears when I hover over the buttons they don't change colour (as specified in the over state) and the actions don't work. Not sure what is going on here as I created other buttons in the same document the same way and they work fine.

I have an invisible clip that holds only actions on my main timeline. Its not working. I did a simple trace on its timeline and nothing was output. Do I have to do something abnormal to or with this mc to make it run on my main timeline since there is no visual object in it?

I've found the solutions for most of my many problems with as 3 but this one is really baffling The frame actions of child-movieclips of dynamically added movieclips are not firing! If I have movieclip, say "mc", which contains a child-movieclip "submc" which has a timeline animation in it with "stop();" on the last frame and I add "mc" on the stage via addChild() the stop action inside the sub movieclip will not work.
All the frame actions inside "mc" itself work. Everything works if I drag the movieclip onto the stage manually. Right now the only way I can see to stop a movieclip on its last frame is by using the ENTER_FRAME event, but that's awfully cumbersome.

I have a dropdown style menu that has some movieclip buttons inside it and when I click on the movieclips the actions aren't working.
Here is the file I'm working on. Rollover the head on the border and you'll see what I mean. [URL]
I tried searching but couldn't find any threads that answered my question about why the MC doesn't work when its embedded inside another MC.
Here is the code (first frame of root timeline) that is used for the movieclip button:
Code:
_root.odinHead_mc.videoGalleryButton_mc.onPress = function() {
_root.videoGallery_mc._visible = true;
};

I got this early version of a sliding menu. See file "scrolling.fla". Its got four images that slides into place when you click on the small colored buttons. The thing is I want the movie to quit/shut down when I press the red button, AFTER the red image has moved back in place.The code for the red button is:
on (press) {
_root.xnew = _root.mask2._x+(-2-1)*458.5/2;
}
I added the following:
on (rollOut) {
_root.unloadMovie();
}
It works in a sense but I dont want to use "on (rollOut)", because you might shut down the slideshow involuntary moving the cursor on your way to the other buttons. So the question is, yet again, how to quit the movie after the red image is back in place?

I`ve made a movie that has one button , now when I click on button this code will execute exactly :
Code:
b1.onPress = function() {
loadMovie("textarea-load.swf",555);
};
I need add another code to hide textarea-load.swf from my movie and this action should occur when I press same button once again . Note : I don`t have any movie with "555" instance name but it helps me to run my movie

I got four buttons that pull up images in a slide show. I want the fourth button to first pull the image in place and THEN shut down the movie clip. I thought this would be easy, but no. Unfortunately I canīt attach the fla-file on this forum. You could take a look at this:
on (press) {
_root.xnew = _root.mask2._x+(-2-1)*458.5/2;
}
Thatīs the code for the last/fourth button, it pulls the fourth image in place. So thatīs in order.I added this below in the same script:
on (rollOut) {
_root.unloadMovie();
}
It works in a sense. The movie falls into place when I click the button and the movie quits when I move the cursor. But it also means you might shut down the slide show involuntary when you move the cursor going for any of the other buttons.

I have made a simple menu with a 'slider' using this tutorial. What I am wondering is if it's possible to have different actions for one button. Here is my first menu button:
Code:
on (rollOver) {
// slider - Movie Clip's Instance Name. button_1 - Button's Instance Name.

I used a tutorial to attempt to set up my code so that after a button is released and an external .swf is loaded the same button can't be activated again (on release or on rollover) until a different button is released.
Here is an example of my actionscript. What I'm trying to do here is just have the button not replay the mc in the over state if it's movie clip is already loaded in[code]...

I have a project where I have 80 or so invisible buttons, that when clicked, need to load a movie clip from the library into a mc on the stage, as well as cause a rollover and rollout state on a "movie clip button" that's sitting underneath the invisible button. This is in ActionScript 2.0.Here's a example of one of my button actions:
ActionScript Code:[code]....
The way it works is "invis_1_1" is the first invisible button in a group, the 1_1 refers to the button being in the first column and the first row in a grid. The "movie button" it's controlling is "col1row1" which has a "on" and "off" state. When the invisible button is clicked it loads "1_1", which is a movie clip in the library, into a holder movie clip.The dilema I'm running into is I'll need to write this code over 80 times with a slight change each time to the instance names etc. I'm sure there's a way to do this with an array but I'm still new to using arrays.

I am using an external .as file for my code. How do I add actions to a button that is not on the stage but its on another frame in the movie (one that user access later). What is the best practice to add actions to items not present at the start?
Of course I could make another copy of the button on frame 1 and add it off the stage in the invisible part. This is what I was doing till now. IS there another way to do this, a more ethical way?

How do you trigger the actions associated with a button
take for example a button called "buttonGo" that you have specific code in. When you click button b you also want buttonGo to execute its code.

There was a thread, not sure if it was in AS or Experiments or MX, but is was this "McSlider" .as driven thing. The link below is my adaptation of it. I am even sure some one brought up nesting mcs with button actions. I just can't find the thread.(i.e the boy is an mc inside the slider with a rollOver and RollOut, but they do not work.
