CS3 flash buttons are not working....i've tried so many times, but its not working at all, code is simple:
on (release) {
getURL("home.html", "_self");
}
i'm using Dreamviwer CS3, XP-SP3, IE7. attaching the zip file having the site, fla, HTML, swf file...
I am new to Flash and ActionScript. I have been trying to put up a website, but I have run into one issue that is preventing me from having a functional page. The buttons do not work.I have set the instance names and converted things to symbols and so forth, but neither of the methods I have tried work.The first method I list below simply does not work, no errors listed, just no function.The second method I tried resulted in an error occurring whenever I clicked a button. The error was "ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property num not found on flash.text.TextField and there is no default value.[code]
View 2 RepliesI have a flash file I've built with various buttons linked to my website. Strangley, the links work perfectly in live preview (ctrl+enter)
however when I save as a .swf file, export as movie or publish - the links no longer work!
I'm updating my website and my menu buttons have an animation on the mouseOver. A simple animated button with the "Up", "Over", "Down" and "Hit" keyframes.
www.brenda-nies.com will show the effect of my menu buttons and the effect I want to keep. Part of my updates are switching to AS3 and that's where my problem comes in. You can't see it on the website I gave you, but in my working file, when I test it (in IE8), everything starts out fine when I first rollover my button, the animation runs through it's cycle and stops. However, if I press down on the mouse button, the animation starts over. The same when I release the mouse button, the animation starts over. I want the animation to run through 1 cycle and stop, then stay stopped until I roll off the button.
I am trying to get my flash buttons working. When I click on them they open a new window and none of the graphics show up. I need it to open in the same window and I have no idea why the graphics aren't linking. They are on my computer not on a server. In addition I need to add multiple buttons to the action script without messing up the entire movie. It seems when I try and add event listeners for the other buttons it won't play at all.want it to go to a page outside of the flash movie. This is a swf placed in Dreamweaver the buttons need to go to other site pages.

View 1 RepliesI've followed this tutorial and made a functional photo gallery.
Now, I want to add that photo gallery on my site. I've created a flash button and assigned it this action:
Code:
on (release) {
_root.contents.loadMovie("Pictures.swf");
}
"contents" is the container movie clip, and "Pictures.swf" is photo gallery i've made. Now, when i click on button, Pictures.swf does load (arrows are being shown), but when i click on them, nothing happens.
im working on a zoom/pan gallery and i have a problem that i can't solve.URL...the pan buttons are not working but the zoom and reset buttons works. im working on movie the image using the mouse now, if you will hold the image and move it it will drag it on stage.the image is a loader the loads and image and placed on screen.there is a mask on top of it and a frame that indicates the size of the gallery.when the user pan the image loader content i want it to stop as soon as it gets to the gallery frame,but i cant seem to find the best way to do it.so basicly when the image is in 100% i dont want the user to be able to drag it but after you zoom the user will be able to drag it but only to the edge of the frame so there wont be any white spaces.i tried a lot of different ways to do it but all of them are complicated and not working the way that i want them to work.
View 2 RepliesI am working on a Flash file and some of the buttons in the document are not working.When I test the movie the hand cursor appears when I hover over the buttons they don't change colour (as specified in the over state) and the actions don't work. Not sure what is going on here as I created other buttons in the same document the same way and they work fine.
View 3 RepliesI am building a website that is all in flash.In the first frame there are 6 buttons. Each button has a code to go to a different place in the timeline, where something happens. For example, one of the buttons has this code:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("web");
}
Another button has this code:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("widgets");
}
And so on.Everything happens on the same timeline.When I publish the movie to test it (ctrl+enter), everything works great.The problem happens when I upload the file to my ftp and try to view it online. In that case, when pressing one of the buttons, instead of jumping to the place in the timeline where it should go, it just continues on to the next frame on the timeline. So for example if I press the "web" button, instead of going to the label "web" it just continues on to frame 2 in the timeline, and then 3,4,5 and so on until there is a stop(); in the actionscript.
After the first press though, it goes back to working fine. Meaning, the second time I press the "web" button, it will go to the "web" label, and from the second click onwards everything works great. it's just the first click on ALL the buttons that doesn't work, although it does work locally...
Very strange thing has happened. I've had this site running fine for over a year, and recently I have discovered that the buttons that go to external URLs do not work.All of the buttons should be going to another .php file, and they have been until discovered yesterday that they do not.If you go to the .swf file directly, you will see that the navigation buttons take you to the correct .php files, but it becomes unclickable when it's in index.php.VERY strange... but then when you go back to index.php, and click the php active hyperlink "Gum Drops" at the bottom of the page, you'll get taken to the php page... and then all of a sudden the navigation, and all flash links to URLs work!
View 2 RepliesI have three buttons and when I click the second one, the first stops working (e.g. no trace event and it won't go back to the frame "tab1") but the third still works. Then when I press the third button both the first and second no longer work. If I take out the gotoAndStop lines, the buttons work fine. The subsequent frames simply have stops on them.
b1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,b1Pressed);b2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,b2Pressed);b3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,b3Pressed);
function b1Pressed(event:MouseEvent){ trace("b1 pressed");

I have a flash banner that rotate 6 images(slides). and it includes 6 buttons to navigate in to each image. Also images are rotates automatically every 10sec.But these buttons are not clickable in FF/Chrome, but work fine in IE with wmode: transparent. Also these buttons work fine in all browsers with wmode: opaque.Also there is drop down menu on top of the flash movie(a separate menu not included in the flash). In wmode: opaque dropdown part of the menu goes behind the Flash. In wmode: transparent that want happen.
View 1 Repliesi'm a flash newb, wrestling with actionscript 3 and ran into a problem with a drop down menu.the menu is composed of nested movie clips that open and close, and contain buttons that control a ui loader in scene 1. it seemed to be working all right until i realized that after opening and closing and reopening a submenu, the buttons that worked the first time stopped controlling the ui loader. since there aren't any error messages i'm kind of at a loss as to what needs fixing.
View 7 RepliesI run an external script from flash(as3) that opens up an Jquerry thickbox with php tabel (it gets results from mysql db). But when i include some other css for centering my .swf in the middle(both x/y), my jquerry buttons in flash stop working.this is the css code:
div.ex
{
height:600px;
width:930px;[code].....
and the webpage: [url].....(php/mysql in jquerry not yet included, but i tested before)
K so i started this flash site and made buttons that open little sliders underneath them that load subcategory's. the problem is i cant get the buttons on the little slider to load a external swf file in a loader on my flash .

recon.onRelease = function () {
main.contentPath = "Recon.swf,";

I've created a movieclip of a trashcan, which falls over and 6 items fall out of it. I want each of these items to become a button, which will jump to a different point on the timeline.
The movieclip is all working fine, and the buttons appear to be fine. The problem is when I publish the flash, the movieclip resets each time I hover over one of the buttons, so i get an endless loop of this trashcan falling over and the items falling out.
the buttons within my submenue movie clip don't work. the one's not within a submenu work fine. my code validates and i'm not getting any errors what else i should be checking?

I am having problems with buttons stopping to work after i have added some actionscript elsewhere in my timeline. I have a buttons layer which runs across the entire timeline which consists of a Next, Back, Menu and Support button, which all work fine as long as i dont go through the following script on one of the frames.[code]The Submit button has a different instance name than all my other buttons so i am at a loss as to why this has any effect on them.
View 5 RepliesI have some buttons in a movie clip, and while they work when previewing flash, they don't work in the browser. I am using geturl on the buttons, and I'm thinking they are not functioning because they are within movie clips.
View 1 RepliesI am migrating from AS2 to AS3 and realize the button functionality is totally different. I have a website with buttons that have submenus. I have the first layer of buttons working. They have eventListeners attached that take them to a labeled frame on the timeline. When you get to that labeled frame there is a submenu of buttons there. I tried putting the code for those buttons in the same script on frame 1 but it messes up the movie.
I think it has something to do with the buttons not actually being there on frame 1 when the script is read. I cannot figure out where to put the script for the submenu buttons to make them work. I think I have to put a parent type script in there. Sorry I dont even know what to look up.
Here is the link to the site: [URL]
Here is the code on frame 1:
Code:
stop();
function goCollections(e:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("collections");

I've got a movieclip which contains 4 buttons and 4 labels.
The buttons work but once you've been past a label it won't go back to a previous label so it's just linear.
I'm using the following coding:
Buttons: arrow1, arrow2, arrow3, arrow4. And the labels are the same for each.
ActionScript Code:
PHP Code:
arrow1.onPress = function() {
gotoAndStop("arrow1");
};
arrow2.onPress = function() {

I have two buttons at the bottom of my animation which should work all the way through the timeline. They work when you click on the chrome icon in the animation, but when you click on either Firefox or any of the other browser thumbnail buttons, the links stop working and nothing happens when you click them?

This seems like such an easy thing to do but it's driving me crazy. Sorry if this is a simple question. In a site I am building it is necessary to have a large movieclip overlaid over an image gallery. This movieclip controls scrolling so has a rollover listener attached, but of course the gallery pictures also need to have button actions. I cannot get them both working at the same time. How can I make it so that rolling over a movieclip doesn't disable the rollover for any movieclips underneath it? Here is a very simple example of the problem. Where the two buttons intersect, I want for the rollover to trigger them both: [URL]
View 1 RepliesI have 2 main movie clips, one for the menu bar and one for the content, there is then a movie clip within each one of those, one to hold the set of buttons, and one to hold the content movie clips. The menu bar has a control to flip between 2 sets of buttons. the viva content button works fine to begin with, but after the menu bar control is clicked, the content buttons stops working. Code is as Follows: All of the code (bar a few stop() flags on cirtain frames) is located on frame 1 of the root, which is the only frame on the root.
barControl.barContent.barUp.addEventListener(Mouse Event.CLICK, menuSwitchHandle); barControl.barContent.barDown.addEventListener(Mou seEvent.CLICK, menuSwitchHandle); barControl.barContent.barMenu.vivaBtn.addEventList ener(MouseEvent.CLICK, vivaHandle);

I am really struggling, I have some buttons on layer 0 I then have a pop up box on layer 1 that covers the buttons. However the buttons are still active underneath.
View 9 RepliesNothing has changed, no editing was done, and all of a sudden, buttons not working. I trued exporting from Flash again, with the same pblish settings. Bit Action Script seems to give me a message now saying it wont export as a button. Tried AS 2.0 and 3.0, but i made original files in 3.0
View 6 RepliesI am making a test that when you hit next it goes to a specified frame and if you hit back it goes back to the previous specified frame. The code works when I go through the code once all the way forward and back but once I try to move forward again it skips over all the inbetween pages and ends at the final page. The back button code works fine it is only the NextBt code that isn't working right.

ive made a simple button that sends you to the first frame. and its working good but than when i duplicate it only 1 button works i got 33 buttons and only one of them is working....
View 4 RepliesI've created a banner and made the whole area clickable with an invisible button. But there's one small element in that banner I'd like to give a roll over state for extra fun. This element doesn't need a link hooked to it just to change colour when moused over. When I put the invisible button on top, it blocks the element on top the invisible button is not working either. Since it's a banner I have the document set up in as2.
