View 1 RepliesI have a flash document with 5 keyframes, each of these has a 'Label', which I then reference in actionscript like so:
ActionScript Code:
buttonHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,jumpToHome);
function jumpToHome(evt:MouseEvent){
gotoAndPlay("Home");
}
That all works fine, and I'm happy with that. Now, at the third 'Label' I have some text on a blackboard with left and right arrows at the bottom, so i changed the blackboard to a movieclip, went into the timeline of the blackboard's movie clip and added this AS:
ActionScript Code:
br1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,jumpToPage2);
br2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,jumpToPage3);
br3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,jumpToPage4);
br4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,jumpToPage5);
bl1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,jumpToPage1);

And my slideshow advances one page, but then all the controls lock up and I cant advance or return anymore? The main navigation through my primary time line still functions at all points.
I want a movieclip in my swf file that will float a given number a pixels from the left side of my browser window. I have made my swf file trasparent and things outside of my stage show up and so far I have an actionscript code that will only use my stage size and I want the browser window size to control it.
View 7 RepliesHave been trying to get this going for a few weeks. Getting stuck on one area.Have five buttons:
1. Company
2. Service
3. Portfolio
4. Contact
5. Extranet
A. Each time a button (see above) is pressed, movie clip of a drawer opens.
B. Once drawer is open then ext. swf file loads.
C. When user chooses another button, then drawer closes. Drawer opens again and the next ext. swf file loads.
I can get the drawer to open and load each swf file. I am having is the drawer will not close.
I wanted a Button that would also hold an int as an identifier, so I tried to extend the fl.controls.Button class:
Code:
package {
import fl.controls.Button;

Background: I have a slider / scrubber that works well and controls the timeline of a movieclip both forward and backward.Lets say I have a movieclip of a lightbulb onstage that starts in a turned off state. When the movieclip plays through normally I have frame based actionscript to toggle a lightbulb movieclip to _on.

I've created an Mp3 player with dynamic sound controls. Everything works fine when tested in the swf, but when I load the mp3.swf into a separate movieclip in another swf, the volume control does not work.
I've tried setting the lockroot to true and it still does not work.
Here's the code:
slider_mc.onMouseMove = function() {
myPoint = new Object();
myPoint.x = this._x;
myPoint.y = this._y;

I must be missing something obvious, but I've done a couple of hours of searching and haven't found the answer. I'm using Flash Pro CS 5.5, and have created a Main class that is set in the Document's class property.
In the ActionScript editor, it lists a whole bunch of ActionScript 3.0 packages and classes. In particular, it has one called fl.controls. When I try to add this to my import, though, the compiler tells me that the definition for fl.controls.Button (for example) cannot be found. Is there some additional steps (libraries to be linked, paths to be set) that would allow me to use these?
i am trying to set up a movie in as3/cs5 that works as follows:on the stage there are 3 (maybe 4) movieclips - that are divided into 6 areas.the movieclips themselves have some parallax effect on them (see attached .zip).what i am trying to do is add some script into the movie to do the follow things - first one is that when the mouse goes to the furthest edge of the browser/movie stage - the movie slides to the next/previous section of the movieclip - or rather moves the movieclips to show that section.the other thing is to add buttons to slide the mc's to the corresponding sections.so on the stage there are 4 mc's (divided into sections) if the mouse goes very far left or very far right - the mc's slide across to the next or last section/s - and if the buttons are clicked the movie will slide to a define position on the stage.does anyone know how this can be done? i've been looking for source or tuts but with no joy!

View 4 Repliestrying to get the swf to load and it was somthing so simple I was missing- if I can avoid the hours of frustration this time that would be great. I'd appreciate it if someone showed me how to create a basic button that will act on the contents of a loaded swf...
View 4 RepliesI'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();
}}
This is what I thought would be pretty easy to do:
- I have 1 scene named: "ucScene"
- I have a Movie clip on frame 1 with instance name "ucMovie"
- Inside this movie clip is a button with instance named "ucButton"
When I click this button I want my "ucScene" to "gotoAndStop" on frame 10

I have a swf that loads external swfs. I am trying to add a mute button to the container swf that controls the volume, so the user can mute and unmute the sound. However, I cannot figure out how to accomplish this. I cant get setVolume from AS2 to do the job. I have also tried SoundTransform.volume=0 and that didnt work.

The problem is, i want the btn that, when clicked, remain inactive.That's why I remove all the listeners in the class. HOWEVER, it still functions as a button, I mean the functions haven't been removed at all after I click it. What's wrong here?? Why are the functions still there, if I have removed them when clicked at the btn?
I am trying to add a music track to some of the pages of my flash website, I imported the mp3 file to the library and dragged it on the stage and it plays when I test it. I want to add play/stop music button on the page, I dragged buttons from the video components to use, but I have no idea where to start with the code??
View 1 RepliesWill there ever be the ability to add a 'Record' button to a player such as those used with Ustream, Justin.tv and other similar players? I run a live stream and would love for the viewers to have a 'Record' button so they may capture the video to their local hard drives for later playback.
View 1 RepliesI want to add a SimpleButton to a list item in a list component. I am getting the CellRenderer for the list item I want and using the addChild method to add the simple button.

I have been using TweenLite for all of my easing. I was wondering what the code is for having a button inside a movieclip not active while the movieclip is tweening.Then when the movieclip does finish tweening the button then becomes active.
View 2 RepliesHow can I get a button inside a movieclip link to a frame in another movieclip on the scene? I tried this code:
function gotoCenter(event:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(root).centermc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
skruetest.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoCenter);
..where "skruetest" is the button, "centermc" is the movieclip where I want to go to frame 2. I don�t get errors with this code, but nothing happens when I click the button. What can I do?
I have a button inside a movieclip, to which I would like to apply a rollover function. When rolled over, this button (inside MOVIECLIP 1) would make (MOVIECLIP 2) jump to second frame. I'm using Flash 8.This is turning onto a real headache for me, since i've searched every single forum and thread concerning this matter, and nothing seems to work.
View 7 RepliesI am a super noob at actionscript. And I want my button to open a movieclip and then close the movieclip when clicked on again. I have no idea what to add after that here is the code I have for the button so far.....this button opens it.
on(release){
this.linemc5.gotoAndPlay("ear");
}
and this is another button I made that can close it, but I want it to be in the same button rather than seperate.
on(release){
this.linemc5.gotoAndPlay("earclose");
}
I have many buttons (symbols). This is what I want it to do: -Select a button on the screen, and then a movieclip plays. - If the user selects any OTHER button on screen, a message box displays a message.
View 2 RepliesCan a button play a movieclip if it lives within another movieclip? Let me explain: Buttons in a map key ran route animations on the map. Code for button (accessed by selecting button and F9) ..reads : on (release) { gotoAndPlay("BusRoute_375");}
[Code]...
All layers and consequently all route movieClips that relate to the map as well as the stop codes for the individual route animations now reside within that MovieClip which sits on a new layer above the map key layer. However, the key buttons no longer run the route animations. What should be done so that when clicked they still play the route MovieClips. Its like the button code cant see the layers it once refered to, now that they are in a movieclip.
