ActionScript 2.0 :: Button On Timeline - Syntax For OnRelease
Jan 4, 2005
I'd like to keep all my button code on the made timeline as a discipline I'd like to start. I have a button instance named aboutBtn in a movie clip. That movie clip is nested in another movie clip. That final movie clip is on the main timeline and given an instance name of menu.
Would my syntax for onRelease then be:
_root.menu.aboutBtn.onRelease = function() {
Or would it be:
_root.aboutBtn.onRelease = function() {
Or:
_root.menu.aboutBtn.onRelease....
What would the syntax to give that button an action be?

I have a function I want to call (just once) when the main timeline enters frame 6. The function is also on the timeline. How can I do that without a listener? Or what listener would I use?

i have some script that i am using to play an mc timeline on rollover and rewind the mc on rollout, but my problem is that i want to add an onRelease action that takes the mc to an specific frame within the mc. thing is that the onRollout action cancels out the onRelease action and rewinds the mc regardless. this is the script that i have on the first frame of the mc

I'm having different elements on stage which can be dragged using startDrag.The elements themselves are buttons. OnPress will startDrag, onRelease will stopDrag.
All works fine except when I release the mouse button while my dragging element is underneath another element (lower depth), which is a button also.Result is that my dragging element keeps being stuck at my mousepointer..I was thinking of temporarily disabling all other buttons on stage while dragging but is there something I overlooked maybe?

using action script...
stop();btn001_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showimage1);function showimage1(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(10);}btn002_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showimage2);function showimage2(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(20);}
however movie is playing without stopping to "Listen" for a Mouse CLICK. Images placed at frame 10 and 20 should appear only when CLICK'd.
This code is straight out of Classroom in a Book CS4.

the attached menu has functions for onRollover, and onRollout, however I was wondering if it was possible to create a function for onRelease that would mean that once the menu item was selected, the onRollout would not set the menu back to original color and would leave it highlighted so users could see that this was the page were on via the menu.It is saved in CS3 as I work with CS4 and it does not seem to let me save it back for 8 or earlier versions.

I've been following the tutorial "Creating Smooth Button Animation in Flash": urL...As with most menus, when the button is selected it needs to stay highlighted so the user knows which section they are in. The tutorial left this bit out.I've been unsuccessful so far. Can anyone help finish it?[code]

I'm amended a AS2 movie, which is a rotating banner add movie. In this movie there is a button which is always visible throughout the movie. I need to add a onRelease behaviour onto this button, so that it can call a JavaScript function when clicked.
I'm new to Flash, I have done some Flex work, but no Flash. How can I add the onRelease behaviour to the button and have it available through out the movie. I know how to convert the button to a movie clip and add the onRelease behaviour but it only lasts one frame, how do I make available through out?

I have a gallery located here:When you first land, there is a splash photo, and then once you click a button, it goes away. When a button is pressed, there is a down state image that gets swapped in.What I want to know is: how do I script it so that if the user clicks a button in a down state, the button will return to it's up state AND the splash image will reappear?The button up/down/over state script that I am using is posted below.
Code:
button.onRollOver = function() {
this.over_holder._alpha = 100;

I am using the mctween activated bttn.My bttns are looped and have been defined in a variable.I am trying to get specific onrelease functions such as loadMovie from each button in the loop depending on what bttn is clicked,but instead the onrelease functions is loading movies for all when any bttn in the loop is clicked.Heres my code.
Code:
// Includes the tweening extensions.
#include "mc_tween2.as"[code]....
I'm trying to make sure that if the user clicks, this.button_2 then this.button_2 will load movie2.swf alone not every movie for every bttn in the loop.

I'm loading an item to the stage and trying to apply a function to it but it doesn't seem to work.
Code:
_root.attachMovie("FullScreenBTN","FullScreenBTN",_root.getNextHighestDepth());
_root.FullScreenBTN.onRelease = function(){
trace("test")
}
When I press the button nothing happens, but when I remove the attach code and just put the button on the stage with the appropriate instance name it does work.

I have a MovieClip with 3 functions to act as a button - onRollover, onRollout, onRelease. I want the onRelease function to cancel out the other functions once the user presses the button.
How would I script that?
Code:
navMenu1.onRollOver = function() {
_parent.jumpTobg1X(2);
this.gotoAndPlay("over");
[Code]...
Basically, I have the function sliding another movieclip along the x axis. onRelease it slide to position 3 - which I want it to stay there, but my onRollout function keeps sliding it back to position 2 (which i need for users just browsing the navigation before a selection is made)

I have a set of 5 text buttons that I want to alter slightly with actionscript. An OnClip event moves the 5 text buttons onto the screen, then each button has a stop action as well as an OnPress/OnRelease that rotates it from black text to blue text and rolls back to black text again. I just need it to be black text to blue and stop when the viewer clicks the link to go to an HTML page.
How would you code it so that the text button rolls from black to blue and stays BLUE for the selected HTML page as long as the user is on it, letting them know where they are in the site's navigation. The sample code from button 1 is below:

My problem is pretty simple, but I'm still finding my way around even the simplest things in Actionscript. I have a movieclip named 'leaf9' in which I'm using as a button (which happens to be within another movieclip). I have the following actionscript on the frame which contains 'leaf9':
[Code]...
What I want is for all the other functions to go away once "shrink" has started to play, so that if the mouse goes over the button again, the clip doesn't start playing "rollover" etc etc. So how do I stop all the other functions from playing once the .onRelease function has started?

at some point in the past, i believe soon after i got Flash CS5 and installed it, i started receiving the following error when clicking the "Check Syntax" button:
Warning: 5004: The file '/Applications/Adobe Flash CS5/Common/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/FP9/playerglobal.swc', which is required for typechecking ActionScript 3.0, could not be found. You may need to reinstall Flash.
what's particularly annoying is that playerglobal.swc file is present in that FP9 directory. do i need to choose some arbitrary setting somewhere so Flash CS5 knows it's not 2008 and that i'm not deploying on Flash Player 9?

I have one function that puts text in a text field and makes a button goto a url onRelease.The code is like this:
Code:
item.onRelease = function() {
myButton.onRelease = function() {
getURL("http://google.com", "_blank");
}
talk = this.txt;
}
the only problem is that the button doesn't work onRelease. i think that it is because there are too many functions there, but at the same time,

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.
