ActionScript 2.0 :: Buttons Inside Movie Clip Using For Loop?

Apr 15, 2010

ActionScript Code:
for(i = 1; i <= 27; i++){
this["build" + i].onPress = function(){
buildMenu._x += 380;
}   
}

I have 27 buttons on a menu generated by a for loop. When the button is clicked it moves the menu +380 pixels. Now to shorten my code I moved the buttons inside the menu movieclip. Intance name: "buildMenu"

This means I only have to move the menu rather than the menu plus each individual button.

The code below works fine but I don't want to have to write this 27 times as each button will be calling much more than just "buildMenu._x += 380;"

ActionScript Code:
buildMenu.build1.onPress = function(){
buildMenu._x += 380;

[Code].....

I'm stuck on combing the this["build" + i]" with the menu movieclip instance "buildMenu"

Buttons Inside A Movie Clip To Control Same Movie Clip?

Aug 27, 2009

I am trying to place buttons inside a movie clip to control the timeline of the same movie clip. This does not seam to work like buttons on the main timeline. When I play the movie the cursor does not turn into a hand and the rolloever affects only sort of work. I have read about controling the movie clip with buttons on the main timeline, but I need one of the buttons to change halfway through the movieclip. I want to be able to jump to interior shots while in the exterior section and vice versa. It would seem that button would work the same way inside a movie clip as they do on the main timeline, but that does not appear to be the case. I am using CS3. Action scrip 2.0 is selected, but I could change it to 3.0 if it would make a difference.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Buttons Inside A Movie Clip?

Mar 8, 2011

Having a bit of a problem with a project. At the moment I have a draggable map which is a movieclip, within the movieclip I have added a range of icons for hotels, restaurants, etc.I am having a problem linking these icons so that they will take you to the correct point on my main timeline. I've converted the icons to buttons and added the script below, but it doesn't seem to be picking up that the icon is a button. I think it may have something to do with it having a start/stop drag on it.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Putting Buttons Inside Movie Clip?

May 1, 2010

I am practicing AS3 (after years of AS2) and am having trouble having a button inside a movie clip talk to another movie clip on the main timeline. Here is the code: 
 
OneButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, OneButtonClicked);
function OneButtonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void
{
MovieTarget.gotoAndStop(1);

[Code]....
 
The code above works, but if I put OneButton and TwoButton inside a movie clip, I know longer can target MovieTarget and MovieDescription. The reason I want to put OneButton and TwoButton inside it's own MC is so I can dim each button after it is clicked by toggling the playhead inside that MC.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Using RollOver And RollOut On A Movie Clip With Buttons Inside?

Jan 25, 2006

I have an mp3 player that sits off stage. There's a tab sticking out for it. When you moust over this tab (which is inside the mp3 player mc) I need the player mc to gotoAndPlay("over"); which is the player animating onto the stage. Then when you rollOut it will gotoAndPlay("out"); Which is the player animating back off stage. Now I can do all of this easy, but then none of the buttons inside the mp3 player mc don't work because flash thinks the whole movieclip is one big button.

when I leave a window with flash content, in this case, a scrolling movie clip with buttons inside set to hyperlink popups (only 1 hyperlink is set so far): [URL] the flash content will disappear. So if I go back to the window, I have to reload the page to get the flash to appear again. Same thing happens if I minimize the window, when I bring it back up, no flash, and I have to reload the page. The menubar with the boxes at the top is flash as well (different swf) and that doesn't have this problem.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Actions On Movie Clip Inside Another Movie Clip (menu) Won't Work

May 15, 2009

I have a very simple problem but I can't find the very simple solution to it. I've create an animated menu with animated movie clips inside to work as buttons. All the main buttons work perfectely but I've got just on button with a sub-menu. On this sub-menu I've placed an invisible hitarea button in order to place some gotoAndStop action. The thing is, it seems to me like this submenu hitarea are underneath something else (even though is the seccond layers right about the actions layers). I've placed a simple trace action whenever the mouse rolls over this area but I get nothing... Am I doing something really wrong? I'm losing all my hair already.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Placing Movie Clip Inside A Movie Clip Symbol?

Feb 27, 2008

I'm loading an external image into an empty actionscript movie clip (holder1) using MovieClipLoader(); on frame one of my movie and is invisible. Then when the movie plays, there is an empty movie clip symbol (image1_mc) that is placed manually on the stage within another movie clip symbol (flash_mc), and is also on a bottom layer of a mask layer which is animated. Is it possible to place "holder1" inside of "image1_mc" so that I can treat it as if it were an embedded image? In other words, have the image in "holder1" inside of the manually placed movie clip symbol "image1_mc" so that I can use it like a regular symbol on the stage?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Clip Buttons Inside A Clip

The video buttons work when site load up, but the buttons go dead after clicking another menu button leading me to another page and returning back to the home page. Several hours of dead ends leads me back here.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Defining Actions For Buttons Inside A For Loop?

Jan 8, 2011

I got a set of buttons and  a text  field where they load the content.I'm trying to not make one zillion functions and keep the code neat so i  guessed i would try set the buttons' actions within the loop too. I firstly had  some problems getting the i counter inside the onRelease function (actually I  don't think i ever got how to do it). But I tried this and worked:

stop();var comprarXML = new XML();comprarXML.ignoreWhite = true;comprarXML.load('flash/comprar.xml');comprarXML.onLoad = checkLoading; function checkLoading(success) { rootNode = comprarXML.firstChild; ButtonReleaseAndContent ();} function ButtonReleaseAndContent (){ for (i=0;i<12;i++){   // my buttons are not generated dynamicly, that  why the count. btTemp =

[code]....

At the line where I set the text, I had a though " I may have to  refer from within the button mc, since the generated code goes inside it!". So i  tried the this.temp , guessing that this would be equal to the button level. A  few seconds later i noticed my referencing for the text field wasn't coming from  within the button, but from the root.
