ActionScript 2.0 :: Button Does Not Do As Directed And Resets
Mar 13, 2007
I have attached the following to a button:
on (press) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
or
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
It is meant to take the user back to frame one where they can play a game again. The only problem is that it doesn't work. When you click the button it goes to the frame but quickly resets back to the frame where the button is located. I have put stop(); code where relevant. I am unsure on what to do. I just want the user to be able to go to different frames but the button keeps reseting to the frame where it is originally located.

I have this rotating slideshow. It works just fine when you allow it move through the four images that I want to display, it resets properly. I need to work on the 'next' button. It doesn't reset properly.
Code:
Select allimport gs.TweenLite;
//import fl.motion.easing.Quartic;
var slidePositions:Array = new Array(0,-1000,-2000,-3000,-4000);
var currentSlide:Number = 0;

I made a coloring book game in AS 2.0 (I did it this way so that I could put individual pieces of code for various buttons - there are around 50). I based it off a tutorial I found online. It works really well. These are the codes I used: In a top layer, I have just in frame 1 (there is only one frame in the whole thing):
_root.fillColor = 0xFFFFFF;
Each colorable part of the picture is a movie clip with a button inside, and each of those buttons has the following code:
on (press) {
color = new Color(this);
color.setRGB(_root.fillColor);
delete color;
}
And then I have two color buttons they can "dip" their pointer into, then they can click on the colorable areas and color them. The code for the color buttons is:
on (release) {
_root.fillColor = 0xC71E07;
_root.brush.gotoAndStop(8);
}
Note: the hex code there is for the red button; it's different for the other color.
Button 1: A "show answer" button that pops up a little graphic showing what their picture should look like. I know how to do this in AS 3.0 (I would just have the object fly in from off-stage on the button press), but not in 2.0. One thing I tried was to have it skip to a different scene or even just a different frame in which that object exists in place. The issue there is that it causes the coloring the user has done to disappear.
Button 2: A "clear board" button that resets the whole thing. I've tried using the gotoandPlay(1) action with this button, but it doesn't do anything.

I'm trying to create a website that is basically a flash toolbar that directs the user to different HTML pages at the bottom, much like this website here.Could anyone point me in the right direction? Do I build the bar in Flash and then the HTML portion in dreamweaver or do I build it all in Flash? Would an iFrame work for this sort of website?

I want to implement a force-directed layout in my Flash program. On my search for an already-made component I bumped into these:SpringGraph (Flex component)Flare (Flare has a force directed layout class, but also a Flex component)GraphGear (AS2 implementation of force directed layout)Graph.as (AS3 implementation, but not so smooth)All these classes are not directly implementable in Flash. I tried to get the latest Flare running in Flash by using the Flex SDK files as well as for Springgraph, but this seems like a too complex way to create a force directed layout. The GraphGear is quite nice and compact, but written in AS2. Graph.as is too experimental to directly implement.

I'm writing a base class for a clip that holds a scrollbar and some content. I written a function that runs every frame to check if the height of the content is smaller than the height of the available content area. If it is, the scrollbar hides. The problem I've run into is that when i trace the height, every other frame it comes back as 0. If I trace the same exact value when it's used in another function it comes back correct every time. If I trace it in my document class, it comes back correct. Any idea why it comes back zero in just this one spot?
enableScrollBar(); is the function in question
Code:
package includes {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;

I have 22 rollover buttons that are a tint. On the rollover, I want the button (75px square) to disappear. On the rollout, I want it to display it's original state.I can't use visibility because it causes a flicker. When I use alpha it resets the opacity to 100% regardless of the number I set it to - e.g. rollover {button.alpha = 0;} / rollout {button.alpha = 50;} still results in a solid box.

I've been passed a flash file that uses the code below to move a set of images using left and right arrows. The user should be able to click through the series smoothly with no resets.
Essentially, the file looks like this: < (set 1) (set 2) (set 3) >
Each set contains the same 6 buttons. I added one button into the set, so now there's 7 buttons to a set. They overlapped, so I moved the left set over one button length and the right set over one button length.
After 6 clicks, instead of rolling smoothly through the buttons, it jumps back to the beginning. Did the addition of another button mess up the initial position or something?
Sadly, I'm more familiar with simple timeline and tween effects rather than this. Also, I'm using Actionscript 2.0 and CS4.
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
Stage.scaleMode = 'NoScale';
var InitPos = 85;

I have some dynamic text fields in a frame called ExerciseFrame (which contain different random numbers, texts, ... and other variables.) When I navigate to another frame called helpFrame and back to the exerciseFrame again, all variables and text fields and other random numbers,... are reset. I mean text fields which contained many data in them becomes empty! I do navigation by a button in exerciseFrame with a simple
eventListener( gotoAndStop("helpFrame");
And in helpFrame another button with this code
(gotoAndStop("exerciseFrame");
How can I keep the state the whole exerciseFrame unchanged when navigating away from it and back to it again? version: AS3 - Flash CS4

I animate a DisplayObject with a Motion XML (exported from Flash). The first time I apply a motion to it, everything works fine. The second time I apply a motion, the position / scale is reset to what it was before I first applied a motion. How can I keep the transform of the DisplayObject after a motion is played when I want to play a new motion ? I want the DisplayObject to start from where it was at the end of the first motion.Here's the code I use:
private function animate(motionXML:XML, target:DisplayObject):void
if(!animator)animator = new Animator(motionXML, target);
// Add event listerners

Basically I have an XML file that contains the paths of a few mp3 files. I have a Play button that plays them and a Next button that plays the next song on the list. These buttons work fine. I actually even am able to obtain and manipulate the songs position using the mySong.position property in order to display the songs position in the form of minutes and seconds.My problem is that when you click Next to go to the next song, the mySong.position property does not reset back to zero, like it should. So if you are 12 seconds into a song and you click NEXT, the next song starts to play fine, but the display keeps counting up from 12 seconds. I realized the .position property is read-only, so I cannot change it. If this is the case, then how does it ever reset, what causes it to reset?
I am loading the songs via the loadSound() method. Which means my only code on the Next button (other than to update some other displays) is:Code:mySound.loadSound("file.mp3", true);I do not need to use mySound.stop() to stop the previous sound, or even mySound.start() to start the new sound playing, it starts automatically. I tried using those commands and got the exact same results, the position property still did not reset.Am i missing something? I sure hope its painfully obvious and I just overlooked something simple cuz im getting a headache

I don't know how to do the actionscript tags so I am gonna use the PHP ones!
PHP Code:
function startTimer() {
initial = getTimer()/1000;
}
If this function gets called, what exactly happens here? Does it reset the timer? Or just gets the time the swf has been playing? Because when you use this mouse listener
PHP Code:
mouseListener = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseDown = startTimer;
It actually resets the time everytime you mouseDown.

I have a TextField that is formatted with bold and blue. However, when I change TextField.text, the formatting of the textfield resets and I have to setTextFormat again. This is the code I use to set my TextField. myText is the variable for my TextField. (This is just part of my code; it is part of a function for my EventListener.)

I have a project in Flash Mx 2004. On the first frame there is a menu with 4 menu items. When the user clicks an item, they are taken to another frame with some text and an exit button that takes them back to the menu. The forward button will not become active until all of the menu items have been viewed. There is no particular order for the items to be viewed, just that they all be viewed before the forward arrow is active and the user can continue. I tried puttin an action on the exit button to disable the related menu item, however, the item just resets back to enabled each time a user re-enters the frame.

I'm having issues with something I used to do all the time in previous version of Flash.On my Main Timeline I have a "looping" MovieClip (myArrows_mc). This MovieClip's timeline just has some simple animation,for instance some arrows that run across screen.There are no stop() actions, so once the playhead reaches the end of the MovieClip's timeline, it just goes back frame 1 and plays again.
Now I want to animate a simple shape Mask over top of the MovieClip. However, everytime the playhead gets to a keyframe in the Mask Layer, the MovieClip getting masked goes back to frame 1 and plays.
In other words, let's say myArrows_mc has 100 frames of arrow animation. On the Mask layer, I have tweened a simple oval shape from 1 side of the stage to the other. The shape tween has keyframes at frame 1, 50, and 64.
When I test the movie, everything looks fine (the arrows are looping) until the playhead reaches frame 50. Then the myArrows_mc, even though it hasn't reached the end of the arrows animation (frame 100), goes back to frame 1 and plays. Then when the main playhead reaches 64, myArrows_mc again resets to frame 1 and plays.
How can I animate a Mask over a MovieClip (not a Graphic) at authortime?Also, I need the Mask to be either a shape/motion tween or a graphic... it can't be it's own MovieClip, because I need to keep it "tied" to the Main Timeline.

I have a menu with five nav buttons (atcually MovieClips). Each has three frame labels: "on", "stay", and "off". The rollover and rollout animations play flawlessly, but I'm at a loss as to how to give each button a sticky "active" state. I'd like the button to stay in it's active state until another button is clicked, then I would like it to play it's "off" animation. Each MC has this code:

I want to take a static text field, convert it into a button, and use it as a button. I need it static, because I changed orientation, and I do not know how to do that otherwise. The problem is, even though I converted it to a Button symbol, it does not work when I test the movie. It works fine with "Enable simple buttons", but when I test it, the button is not there, no change in mouse cursor, no reaction at all.So this is what I did:
Made text. // static, not selectable, Orientation: vertical left to right, / //rotated; Two filters: Drop Shadow and Glow;
Converted text field to Button - Symbol (scrollBT)
Editing the Button,I put the same content (the static text field) in all four frames: No luck, not working. without the Hit frame filled (which I think doesn't really make a difference): No luck, not working.Tried again, converting the static text field in the button into a Graphic Symbol: No luck, not working.Tried again, and put some differences in the frames for "ON" and "OVER" etc.: No luck, not working.Tried again, duplicating a similar, working button, edited it, and: No luck, not working.
To the button itself and the AS: The button will be a scroll-button for a text field, with different scroll speeds on rollover and press, but nothing else. The code for that I have (I think). It's something like (and please excuse my incorrect syntax here, but I'm typing from memory; still, I use the Script-Assistant and my syntax is apparently correct; it's also working with other buttons):
on {rollOver} {
function (scroll) {
textfieldtxt.scroll - = 1;}[code]....
I'm at the end of my wits. The only difference I can tell from other (working) buttons I did the same way, is that the scrollBt does not do anything except scrolling, while all of the others have frame actions (gotoAndplay etc.) associated with them.

I'm working on a project, and it's going OK. What I want to do is for the user to rollover a button/object, and a little pop-up box will show up, and it will have some text/photos/... Pretty routine stuff. That I can accomplish without a problem...
Now, what I want to add in there is also a hyperlink that will open a Web page in a new window. And that's where I get stuck. It won't let me.
I assume it's because part of the rollover thing in the button symbol. That's how I'm doing it so far.
So, is there anything I can do going that route, or do I need to take another approach?
I'm thinking the other option would be to create a movie clip, which would hold the pop-up box and the photos and the like, then make a button within that which would hold the hyperlink. Then, I could create an object right on the timeline with a rollOver that would trigger the movie-clip instance.
