In flash 8 I have a mx.controls.Button that I want to programatically make fade in and out.If I say:myButton._alpha -= 5;Then the button fades out, but the Button.label in the center doesn't. Does anyone know if this is even possible, or is there a better way to go about fading a button?
View 5 RepliesI have a game and the user clicks on a button (a_btn), they are brought to frame 2 and they have to answer a question. If they get the question correct the alpha transparency of the a_btn is set to zero.
What I would like to be able to do is see if a number of buttons have zero alpha transparency then the user gets a complete message. This is what I have so far:
ActionScript Code:
if (c_btn.alpha=0 && h_btn.alpha=0){
infoComplete.text = "WELL DONE, GAME COMPLETE";
}
Anyway what I need to do is have a movie clip finish playing when a button is clicked and then go to the frame label associated with the button. I hope I'm explaining myself ok. So if I had say 4 buttons Home Gallery About Contact If Contact is clicked then I want the Home page to play (Which is a fade out) and then go to Contact Page (which will fade in). Then If Gallery is clicked then I want Contact to fade out and then go to Gallery page and fade in.
View 6 RepliesPretend a button is selected - when that button is selected it goes to the active frame which shows that the button is selected. When you click another button it currently resets itself - BUT - I want it to go to and play frame "mouse_out" and than reset itself. Below is the code I am currently working wtih:

And I'm wondering how do I change the color and font family of the label on the button?
I need to place a lot of buttons in the scene with different labels. I have created one button (not ui component). It is having custom look and feel. And I have placed many of the instances of this button in the scene.Now I need to add different labels two each button. These labels are not simply some texts, but movie clips.So how can I place these labels to each button? Placing an empty movie clip and calling attachMovie in action script failed..I am not sure how to achieve my requirement. If needed, I can give more explanation about the requirement.
View 9 RepliesI am Carlos, I am working on a little App in Flash CS5 but I cant find the way to set a Font Style to a label or button components.
The program just add values to a variable and print it to the label, that works perfect, the problem is that when I test the app, the text size in the label and button are so small that they are useless.
As a Workaround I add a text with TextTool in which I can set "Character" in list of properties, but no "Character" section in list of properties for Label or Button.
How to make my own button with a text label on it?
I've done the following:
created the button background and added the TextField on it called txt and packed it all to Button called MyButton. I added an instance of MyButton called btn to a stage and wrote in the main class: trace(btn.txt.text); - everything was fine. But when I added states of the button (Up, Down, Over and Hit) the txt field of buttons became null.
Is there a way to get the measured-width of a button label in flex based on its style properties at runtime?
View 2 RepliesI trying here to avoid having to bind resources to all my components labels ( ie a button) and find a way to have this automated.
Problem: It corrupts the layout in design mode to bind directly in the mxml label="{resourceManager.getString('myResources', 'submit')}" and makes the design view useless. but when declaring bindings elsewhere, in actionScript or via a bind tag, it is counter productive and prone to many errors and miss.
Proposition: I would like to create my own button that automatically invoke resources to localize a button label. So the author puts "Submit" in the mxml description of my button, and when running it would take the value of the label ie "submit" and use resourceManager.getString('myResources', 'submit').
but I can't find the way to override the set label function, Is it possible if yes how? else how can I go about it?
Maybe I am missing an essential process here that would make the use of resources more elegant, as well as how to override such thing as a button's label.
The standard Flex button does not allow the Label Text to word wrap. I read in the internet that there are some undocumented ways to handle this but I did not get them to work.
View 2 RepliesI create a custom component to override the linkButton to make it behave that if an exist value is found, it would shown as "Added".
By default the button label is "Add to cart", I could not make the button become "Added" after trying many trial and error on uHandler which I suppose, COMPLETE, ENTER_FRAME, CREATION_COMPLETE could not even update the label.

Is there any way to change Spark button label dynamically? When i click on it, i want the label to change. I bind the String to label and gives value for the first time, but even flashBuilder shows me that Data binding will not be able to detect assignments. Here is my button:
<s:Button name="button" label="{butt}" x="5" y="3" useHandCursor="true"
click="start()" buttonMode="true" cornerRadius="5"
skinClass="skins.CustomButtom"/>
And here is assigment:
public var butt:String = "Start";
What is the best (or the only way) to get a button in actionscript 3 to when clicked (released) jump to a specified frame label. I've seen a fair amount of little tutorials out there that can tell you how to link to a URL but not within the flash file itself.
View 6 RepliesI have a series of buttons, and as some of you may know, the text on the label is always centered. I just want to know if there is a way to make it left justified.I'm just using the button component in Flash CS5.5. In the properties there is a Label option, i forget the name of now, but it had "left, right, top, middle, etc" but this didn't seem to change anything.

View 4 RepliesI have a scroll menu as a ScrollPane component with menu buttons which take the user to a spacific frame lable within an external SWF (which is loaded form a main SWF already) My code for the botton is:
on (release){
_root.badges.gotoAndPlay("executive");
}
badges is the SWF name loaded as external SWF from a main stage (call this main.SWF) where the menu sits as well. "executive" is the frame label I want the timeline of badges.SWF to go to when you click the button, but this does not work?
It was working when I have this on another flash file. I recently had to move this into another flash file its still the same setup as in the other flash file, there is a loader clip and menu on the main timeline of my main.SWF and all it has to do is go to a specific frame label within the loaded external SWF from the main timeline of the main SWF.
I am making a quiz. When the user submits the wrong answer, I want to show them what the correct one was. I can get the correct selected data, but my data is A,B,C,D etc. which is why I need the label.

View 1 RepliesI am having trouble trying to get a button to target a frame label. Right now I have the button inside a movie clip and my idea was to have the click event target a frame label that is outside of the button movie clip. The frame label actually lives within the parent movie clip of the movie clip holding the button. I am using Action Script 3.0 so I am not sure what to do. And not sure if I should have the actionscript inside the nested movie clip or in the parent. Here is what I have so far...
/*
The parent movie clip is called "services_mc"
The nested movie clip holding the button is called "brandID_mc"
The button is called "goback_btn"

View 1 RepliesAfter finally making a button with an animation in it, I get stuck with the button actually working. I followed this tutorial; [URL] for the most part. And when I link the button to an URL like it uses as an example in the tut it works. But when I want to link it to a frame label in my website it doesn't work. Atm the code in the movie clip on the hit area looks like;
on (rollOver, dragOver) {
gotoAndPlay("on");
}on (rollOut, dragOut) {
gotoAndPlay("off");
}on (release) {
gotoAndStop("Scene 1", "who")
}
The rollover/out works fine. But the link isn't working within the Flash file.
