ActionScript 2.0 :: Button OnPress Calls Another Button's OnPress?

Nov 5, 2007

[URL]

First, click on the Abaco island shape on the map. You'll see on rollOver there is a glow around the island. Now click on that island and the glow remains for the zoomed-in detailed view. When you return to map and zoom back out, the glow is removed.

Now, compare this with clicking on the island name "Abaco" from the list on the right, instead of clicking directly on the island from the map. It zooms in and shows the details fine, but the glow that should be there is not.

The reason this problem is very perplexing for me, is that the onPress action of the list button in the right column calls the onPress function of the map button. So, theoretically they should do the EXACT same thing when pushed. But clearly they don't.

Here is the code for the button from the list on the right panel:

Code:
listAbaco_mc.onRollOver = function() {
_root.map_mc.abaco_mc.button_btn.onRollOver();
};

[Code]....

There is more code, for example rollOver, rollOut, and Press actions for the other island buttons, but they are all of the exact same format as the Abaco island button and they all have the same problem.

So, to recap, the problem is that the list button in the right panel do not function properly onPress, even though they are calling the onPress function of the island buttons directly, and the island button onPress function works perfectly. Strangely, all but one little thing works. So it's obviously getting to the correct functions and going through the code as planned, yet that one part about the glow is being ignored or otherwise messed up.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Cancel A Button's OnPress Action?

Feb 25, 2009

I wondering if there is a way to cancel a button's onPress action.For example on my button I have the following:

Code:

on (press) {
startDrag(this, false, 384, 2.5, 384, 70.5);
}

[code]....

However if you press the button and roll out with your mouse button still held down it will continue to drag even after you release the mouse button. It then won't stop dragging until you roll over and then out of the button.

To correct this I was wondering if there is a way to call the on(Press) action and stop it OR to activate the on(release) or on(rollOut) actions OR a way to activate "stopDrag();" when the user rolls out even if they are still holding the mouse button down.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Button OnPress - Convert To Symbol

Mar 9, 2005

I have an image that I put in my movie. I then changed it via "Convert to Symbol" to a button. Within it I have two images, one that is for the up or no mouseover version and the other for the mouseover or down position. This part works fine. However using the code below I click on the button and nothing happens. The mouseover stuff still works fine just not the getURL. This should be so simple but it is holding me up.

Code:
SkipIntro.onPress = function() {
getURL("[URL]", "_blank", "GET");

It gives problem when I'm pressing a button and moving the cursor out of that button area and releasing, it does not call the onRelease event and hence the function goes in the infinite loop.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Creating Controls - Button OnPress Function

Jan 9, 2010

I'm doing a school project in flash that basically has to be a movie trailer, just several photos compiled together with some music. I got bored and now am making controls in Actionscript. I'm using CS4, however I have the document based in Actionscript 2.0. Basically, I have created a rewind button that goes backwards, however now I want it to do one of the two things:

If the video was playing when the button was pressed, I want it to go back to playing when released. If the video was paused the the button was pressed, I want it to continue to stay paused when released. I've tried some very basic if statements, trying to assign boolean statements, but I'm stuck. Here's what I have thus far for my rewind button:

Code:
rewind_button.onPress = function () {
onEnterFrame = function() {
prevFrame();
}}
rewind_button.onRelease = function () {
delete onEnterFrame;
play();
}}

ActionScript 2.0 :: Get A Button To Work When Its Nested In A MC That Has An OnEnterFrame With A OnPress Command Targeted To It?

Apr 13, 2004

How can I get a button to work when its nested in a MC that has an onEnterFrame with a onPress command targeted to it?

Here's the code for my "popup" MC located on the main timeline.

popup.onEnterFrame = function(){
this.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag(false);

[code]....

Within that same MC is a button that tells it to close. However, I run a trace command to it and nothing happens. It seems like the onPress nested in the onEnterFrame is over-riding my button on(press).

ActionScript 2.0 :: OnClip Event Button Script - Stop Action As Well As An OnPress / OnRelease

Nov 20, 2006

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:

I have a very simple piece of code but it has one very annoying bug. When I press the button a second time, the code doesn't work.

ActionScript 2.0 :: OnPress On Movieclip Not Working?

Jan 23, 2011

I have created a simple grid on my canvas.First I defined an empty movieclip (wrapper) for my grid, then I draw lines onto it to make the grid.Now, I want to click on the grid and get the x/y of where I clicked so I can determine where in the grid i am. But my trace in the onPress event does not show.I'm under the impression that my mcGrid has a 0x0 width and height. When I trace the mcGrid._width in the bottom it outputs "0" so maybe that's why it is not working? Here is my code:

ActionScript Code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("mcGrid", 1);
for (var i=0; i<12; i++) {
var clipName = "mcHorizontal_"+i;
