I'm using this complex rollover button on my site i found here --> [URL] What i'm looking to do is have this effect trigered when a second button is rolled over as well. Is there a way to target this movie clip effect from the _root timeline? I was able to achieve this halfway by using labels but I am not able to reverse the animation on roll out with this method.
View 2 RepliesI have a movie clip with 15 frames. Each frame has buttons on it (mc's)... I was going to put the actions on the main timeline/stage and navigate within the MC from the main timeline. Is that possible? I can get the buttons on the first frame of the MC to work, but I can't seem to figure out how to target/make the buttons on the other frames work? I was thinking I could identify the path of the MC with the frame labels, but that doesn't seem to work. like: _root.RMChanger.(frame label).buttonOnFrame = function
I have to move a text box in and out over the MC backgrounds on the main stage... which is why I was thinking to do it this way? I've been switching back and forth bwtween AS2.0 and 3.0
I have 7 buttons on the main stage that go to different parts of the main timeline, all of which have the same movie clip with 7 different frames. Right now it always goes to the first frame of the movie clip, but I need the second button to go to the second frame, and so on. I was originally trying to have the button itself find a frame label inside the movie clip, but now I realize I probably need to attach something to the key frames of the main timeline that tells it to go to a specific part of the movie clip. The problem is I can't figure out how to address the movie clip from the main timeline. The book I started learning from had a short section on declaring movie clips, and I cobbled together this bit of code and put in on a key frame in the main timeline.
Code: Select allvar viewwork:MovieClip = root.viewwork
viewwork.gotoAndStop(2);
I'm pretty sure that's completely wrong, as it gives me the error: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property viewwork through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.
So how do I properly reference a movie clip from the main timeline? Also, I'm using an external .as file for most of my actions, but I'm sticking this directly on the frame because I haven't even thought about trying to figure out how to target a specific frame from an external file. Is that going to cause problems?
Im just learning AS3 and am having some problems finding the answers to what I need so im trying here. I have two movie clips on my stage.
movie clip #1 (instance name "menu_mc") has a button inside it with the instance name of "btn1_mc" and the following code (what i have as of right now...need click function) on frame 1:

I am trying to add action script 2.0 to a slider that i created using http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/slider.htm that slides a movie clip that is a timeline from left to right. In the timeline are (i)More... buttons that will reveal more information. I just need to know how to integrate the timeline into the code using as2 to make it slide when the slider is dragged..
This is the action script that I have on the slider movie clip as stated in the above tutorial. But this is ALL the action script I have on EVERYTHING..... I know I need more to make it pan the timeline but I dont know how to do it.
[Code]...
I really could just use a good tutorial that shows me how to link the image that im sliding to the slider bar. When the slider is moved to the right... the image flows left.... toward the end of the timeline. When the slider is all the way right. The end of the timeline is shown. The timeline is bigger than the stage so the slider is on a line with years on it.
I have a move clip with several buttons inside; their rollover seems fine. i am trying to get the buttons in the clip to address / go to the main movie timeline. Button names within the clip: c_btn, d_btn, etc. These are the symbols names; they have not been given unique instance names within the clip. The clip name is nav_all and its instance on the timeline is navall.mc I am using Flash CS3, AS3.

im trying to navigate through a movie clip and stop at frame labels using individual buttons to call to individual labels while being able to see the on the way to the frame(for a blurred effect).my goal is to jump from point A to point F to point Z and see all the frames in between and visa versa.

CS3 Flash - Complete newbie to Flash and I'm trying to change an existing flash piece.It consists of 4 different text statements that appear on a Black background - the first appears and stays on-screen for 10 secs, then it starts to blur and fade away in about a sec, and then the next statement appears, etc, etc., and the whole lot loops.The 4 statements appear as Video Clips (Symbols?) in the library.I need to add a new statement, which means there will be 5 statements. I duplicated one of the library items and renamed it, which seems to have worked fine... but I cannot then work out how I insert that video clip into the Timeline and still have the same visual effects and timing as the existing ones? I can insert a blank frame, but then I can only drop the new video clip text onto that one frame.I've tried copying and pasting a whole set of frames, and then go in and change the text. Which I thought had worked, but then discovered that it also changed the original frames.... now understand that's because they are just instances and any change will affect the master Video Clip!
So can anyone advise if I can insert my newly added and renamed video clip into the timeframe and create the same effect as the others?Please keep any advice as idiot-proof as possible as this is my first venture into Flash... not finding it as intuitive as I hoped, spent 6hrs to date just trying trial and error without any real success.
I've got a main timeline .swf file called "blank.swf" which contains nothing but two blank movie clips one called called "pproduct", the other called "ppalette". In the script frame of this main timeline I use the simple "Loader = new Loader();" method to load a URL of an .swf file into the "ppalette" movie clip. The "ppalette" movie clip contains several color chip buttons, each of which use the same Loader method above to load an external .swf into a clip. Here's what I want to do: let those color chip buttons, when the "blank.swf" file loads, be used to load an .swf movie into the "pproduct" clip on the main timeline. I'm wanting to be able to swap depths with various movie clips which will take out the movie which has the palette, but I want whatever that palette has loaded in the original "pproduct" clip to stay there.

I have two movie clips on stage: mc1 and mc2.Within both movie clips, there are 10 frames, all named frame1, frame2, etc.In "mc1" there is one button on each of the frames named btn1, btn2, etc.I'm trying to get it so when a button is pressed, (mc1.btn1 or mc1.btn10) it causes the other movie clip to advance to a certain frame.I've tried this code within the mc1 clip, on the same frame as the button:[code]But get a 1119 error.

View 1 RepliesI have a file comprised of 1 scene and two movie clips. The clips are instanced into the Main Timeline and occupy Frames 1 and 2 respectively.MovieClip1 is an animation that has navigation buttons that appear at the end of the clip. I'm trying to get mouse click navigation to make Frame 2 on the Main Timeline active.
Here is what I'm trying but it is not working:
btExplore.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ExploreClick);
function ExploreClick (evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
this takes the animation to Frame 2 of the Movie Clip Timeline not Frame 2 the Main Timeline.
ive loaded a movie into another and postitioned it..
_root.abc._x="400";
_root.abc._y="200";
_root.abc.loadMovie("trig_sub.swf");
but once it is loaded where ever i have used _root in the loaded movie (trig_sub.swf) it nolonger works eg..
on a button i have
on(rollOver){
_root.menu.stop();
}[/AS]
bnut this dosent work when it has been loaded into instance "abc" in the main movie...wat do i have to use instead of root to point at an instance?
so, i'm making an animated rollover, and i get an output error that says this:
Target not found: Target="_root.icon01" Base="_level0"
i have no idea what the base="_level0" means.
I have two movie clips on my main time line. There is a button in movie clip 1 that I want to target to movie clip 2... and it's not working for me. I'm assuming that when I'm in movie clip 1, I need to tell it to go back up to the main time line, and into the movie clip 2.The site that does the same exact thing I'm trying to do is this tutorial:The buttons and the page area are two seperate movie clips, but the buttons in the button movie clip target to the page area movie clip.This is the code that I'm thinking I'm getting an error with:Code:MovieClip(root).eyecarePage.gotoAndPlay(10);- where eyecarePage is the Instance Name of the movie clip where I want the button to target to, and once it's in that movie clip, I want it to go and play frame 10 and on... but instead I get a #1009 error.
View 4 RepliesI want to be able to make a movie clip (that acts as a button) so the roll over effect finishes before the roll off effect is triggered. Like if a marker circles a button, i want the circling animation to stop before the roll off effects happens. Anyone know how to do this.

So the display list seems to indicate that I have 6 movie clips on the stage. PROBLEM: When I try to target the movie clips by name in adding the following code for example: image2.apha = 0; I get an error: 1120: Access of undefined property image2. What I don't get is: image2 is a movieclip and a movieclip has a property of alpha?
Seeing that the tellTarget function has been "deprecated" (I don't see why), how can I target a movie clip?I have a button on a frame on the main timeline, which I want to link to a movie clip that has been placed in another frame (still on the main timeline).

I know the first line isn't going to work, but just wondering if someone knew of a code that would?
I am targeting a a movie clip. The problem is that all the syntax I have found for targetting clips looks like this: _root.sample_mc.sample2.mc. etc. The problem is, my target clip is in an swf that I've loaded into a container clip from my main timeline. So, essentially, I have a home.swf that loads menu.swf into a container called 'location'. In menu.swf, I have an MC called center, which contains the MC I am targetting called 'target'.
View 2 RepliesI have a swf which contains a main menu bar along the top which has been added dynamically at run time. ALl the controls for this bar live inside btnHold One of these buttons loads in a new swf. There is a button within this second swf that I want to use to control the main menu bar in the top layer (I want to make it invisible for a time, or get its layer and then ensure that its not too high etc etc)However, I just can't work out how to target this btnHold from within the newly loaded swf.
