I have a weird problem... I have a button inside a movieclip and actionscript on root frame. I know whats the problem, just cant understand how to solve it.I have this script for the movieclip:
Code:
setColor.onRollOver = function(){
setColor.gotoAndStop(2);
[code]....
My problem is: I have a button inside a mc. And i cant seem to get that button to work. It is supposed to make the movie jumt to frame 2. But nothing happens.
on(release) {
gotoAndPlay("scene 3", 2) ;
}
didnt work.
So I've done a lot of research on this issue and I understand that buttons don't work when its nested inside a mc that has an event.My project is a map that pans/zooms and when you click on the green triangle next to Lansing, its supposed to pop up a window with information. The wierd thing about it is that it works when I use an onRollover event, but not an onRelease event.The map pan/zoom script was not written by myself btw.
Flash Map
Flash Map_Test
Flash map is the script with the pans/zoom. Flashmap_test is where I made my map with nested buttons.Then Flash Map just calls and brings in Flashmap_test.

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
View 6 RepliesI 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.

The ad on the bottom right of the screen (the one with lightning flashing) has an invisible button in its Flash file (CS5) linking to [URL]. This file is imported as SWF in Dreamweaver CS5.
The hyperlink works in Firefox, but not in Safari. Maybe it is just my computer.

View 5 RepliesSo I'm creating this flash game for our company's 2010 halloween greeting card and I'm having some problems.All it is an swf that has balloons randomly moving upward.Each balloon is a movie clip that has another "button" movie clip inside of it. As you click on each balloon, the balloon pops and then recreates itself. The only problem is that the button inside the balloon is not acting like a button the entire time.
The upward movement is being called through an enterFrame event listener and the use of the button goes in and out as the balloon moves upward. It's a pain because you have to click the balloon multiple times in order to get the balloon to pop. Does anyone know why this is or if there is an alternative to enterFrame?

View 6 RepliesI want a Movie Clip to house 5 buttons that will link to frame labels on the main time line.(this will be my main menu navigation)I have created 5 separate buttons then created a Movie Clip.dragged each of the 5 buttons into the movie clip gave instance names for all of them.then I dragged the movie clip to my main timeline and gave that an instance name.I then went into the Movie clip and attempted to use AS3 to get the button instances to navigate to the frame labels.no go
when I test my movie it keeps looping through the whole main timeline no matter how many stop commands I put in the main timeline or in the Movie clip itself.if I have no AS in the Movie clip then the movie tests with the Movie clip working (no scrolling through the timeline and rollover works fine but I still can not command the CLICKs).as a post script I have tried so many AS variables I thought it best to not enter any here

View 1 RepliesI have issues with the buttons working from the SWF file which is brought into the main flash site via UILoader.
[Code]...
I gathered that it is most probably due to the fact that I have constructed a button in the improper way.I tried to redo a button but it was the same result.I would like to try to access it through the main timeline. What would be the whole block of code to put a function on the button located inside an external SWF which is called in via a UILoader?
I'm making an animation with movie clips inside the stage but if i put action in the end of these for go to another frame in the stage, dosnt let me because AS3.0 doesn't allow script inside buttons and MC's. The new code from AS3.0 is so different to AS2.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to make a UI editor and I'm using a color picker component I found online. I've tried a couple different color picker components but they all seem to have the same issue. If I put an instance of the component on the stage and run the movie, it works fine. The text showing the current color (in hex) as well as any button labels show up and all is well. If I take that same component and put it in another movie clip and put THAT mc on the stage, all is still right with the world. However, if I give that mc a linkage ID and load it using an attachMovie call, all text is blank. I thought it may have to do with embedding, but the button labels are static text, so that shouldn't be an issue.

I'm editing a flash site that needs a multi video player. I've already added a few other features to the site, so know the drill now... This video player just doesn't load the external files to it. I'm doing exactly the same thing I did with the other elements, but this doesn't seem to want to work. I've triple checked the spelling of 'config.xml' and even tried changing the action script settings to frame 2, which just makes all the preloaders spin around!
