I'm working on a website [URL]... I am basically attempting to call up Lightbox 2 from the 'VIEW GALLERY' button in the swf as you can't make the whole swf a hyperlink..

If there are an easier/other ways of doing this I am open to suggestion, I'm essentially trying to get a button within an SWF to call up Lightbox 2
I am building a web site for a friend.. Does anyone know if it is possible to open lightbox image gallery from a flash button? I would like to have a situation where the user can press one button and lightbox pops up with multiple pictures in that popup

I've been reading over numerous tutorials and guides as well as the Language Reference for ActionScript 3.0 but cannot quite seem to find anything to learn what I need (which I guess is because everything I have read assumes you would already know how to do this sort of thing).On my stage I have one button (mybtn) and one MovieClip. Within the MovieClip I have numerous other MovieClips (the different parts of a character, leg, arm, head, etc).
One of those MovieClips, lets call it "upper_left_arm" (within the other MovieClip "character") is comprised of two Keyframes, frame 1 and frame 2. There is also a second layer with AS in it, which just has "stop()" in it so it doesn't endlessly play.When I click the button on my stage I want to change the playhead to frame 2 and then stop within the "upper_left_arm" MovieClip.I gather that I almost certainly need to use gotoAndStop.However, most information I have found concerning buttons, AS3 and the gotoAndStop command relate to "scenes" which as far as I can tell are nothing to do with what I want.
Code:
stop();mybtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
upper_left_arm.gotoAndStop(2);
}
The "(2)" is the part I think I have horribly wrong, I've tried various other things after "upper_left_arm.gotoAndStop" with no success. In fact, the MovieClip "upper_left_arm" now loops round merrily despite the "stop()" in the AS in that MovieClip itself .
I have 4 instances of the same button on a single layer in a timeline of the mc 'coverflow_mc' named 'ThatsMe_btn_a' to 'ThatsMe_btn_d' ie same button, same position.. it just changes instance name on 4 keyframes. Why does it call the function fine for button a but not for b,c, or d? There is a stop on each of these frames and I can see from the swf that it is stopping at the correct frames.
function thatsMe() {
right = new Sound();
right.attachSound("right");

i have created array of button and i want to call a frame according to the order or number of that button when it is clicked.
like
if i click 1st button it call a frame 1 of symbol named A
if i click 2nd button it call a frame 2 of symbol named A
if i click 3st button it call a frame 3 of symbol named A

I have a function set up to stop a timer internal function pauseTiming():void { timer.stop(); } how would I call that function when a button is pressed, say with an instance name PauseTimer?

I'm having a problem where I have a button on the main timeline that when clicked needs to gotoAndStop first on frame 3, where there is a movieclip, that i want it to gotoAndStop on frame 30 (of that movieclip). Any ideas?
I can't have it just gotoAndStop on frame 3 and then have the code to gotoAndStop on frame 30 either because I need to be able to have the moviecliped called like this a number of different times.
My question has to do with tweened buttons that call an element onto the stage from right , on centre stage this called element stops centered. This is as far as I get...What I would like to happen is ,on the press of another tweened button the element from first tweened button vacates left and is replaced with called element from this button, and so on for 5 separate buttons, of course these can be pressed in any order..

I have created a flash movie with buttons. I intended for the user to press these button and open another flash movie or another html. I tried using URLRequest as such below but I got some errors when I run the flash and press the button:
function callSeries(evt:Event):void{
URLRequest("series.html");
}
Error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "series.html" to flash.net.URLRequest.
at mainmenu_fla::MainTimeline/callSeries()
Is this method wrong? How shall I call another html or refreshed a current flash movie embedded within a html with another new flash movie. Is this possible?
I have setup a video interface with a stock video player in the parent mc. In the same swf next to the player, I have a mc which is a video thumbnail chooser. The thumbnail buttons are located two levels down within this mc (nested within two mc) in order to facilitate the scrolling independent of the player. In the parent, where the video player lives, I placed a function:
function vid1(event:MouseEvent): void{
pubPlayer.source = 'Steve480.flv';
}
In the child mc where the thumbnail buttons are, I want to call the parent function like this:
vid1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, vid1);
None of my clips are externally loaded, just nested in the same swf. How can I talk up or down the movieclip ladder?
this is my first post on this forum so please take it easy on me as I am sure that this will be a simple answer for most of you out there. Here is what I am working with: I have dynamically added 4 buttons to the stage using XML data and a loop to place as many buttons as will allow per the data. Once the game begins, a MovieClip that I have also added to the stage will jump randomly from frames 1-16 and stop using a stage event listener. I need to have event-listeners on each of the buttons I have created using the XML data to check to see if the user has selected a correct answer. I had intended on using a function that would check to see which button was clicked and check to see what frame the movieClip was on when that button was clicked and judge right or wrong that way.
[Code]...
My problem is I don't know how to call buttons that are located inside the movieclip?
nav_btns is the movie clip on the main tiimeline, contact_btn is the button inside the mc
script example: nav_btns.contact_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.C LICK, btnClick);
everything is labeled correct and i still get a undefined error
but i figured it out "use the Target" in AS3

I can't get this to work. I need to call a Javascript function from a button in flash. The code is as follows:
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:nameOfMyFunction('whatever.html ')");
}
This is working, so I got the call right. But what I really want to do is have that url (html) to be a variable within flash.
on (release) {
Myurl="[URL]";
getURL("javascript:nameOfMyFunction('Myurl')");
}
This doesn't work. How do you use a flash variable as a javascript function parameter?
I have a situation where I'm calling a function with an event listener attached to a button, which in turn calls a function, which does a number things including calling a second function which resides in a child swf.
Just as an example:
Code:
myBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, firstFunction);
function firstFunction(e:MouseEvent):void{
//I call another function in here (among other things)
externalSwf.stopTimer();
}
"StopTimer" resides in an external swf which for our purposes is called externalSwf and it resets a running timer.
Code:
function stopTimer():void{
myTimer.reset();
}
I'm getting argument mismatch errors, which often have to do with the Event Objects not matching. The event object for firstFunction is a mouse event triggered by a click so I put in e:MouseEvent...what I don't clearly understand is, what type of object event is dispatched when I call the function stopTimer from inside the function firstFunction?

I have a flash template that I added a flash and xml driven component to. The component is a carousel menu with a lightbox that displays images. The lightbox part of it keeps loading behind my flash page, no matter what I set the z-index to on the lightbox.css. Is there a way to control the z-index of the flash file in the website's style.css? I tried adding it to the Body of the css but that doesn't work. How do I target the swf? I've never used css before. How to get it to load the lightbox above the flash.

How to implement lightbox using as3? examples on the sites only talk about it when using as2.
View 1 RepliesThis is driving me nuts, I've been messing about with this now for hours I must have been on every flash forum and blog to try to find the answer.
I've been using Lightbox with AS2, works a treat in all modern browsers, my latest project is using AS3, so I'm using the external call reference, my code is at the bottom of this post.
This works fine in Safari and Firefox but it just won't work in IE 6 and 7, I just get an error on page in the browser status bar.
Like I said I have looked into this and some people seem to be getting Flash to call a function in the HTML like this
<script language="JavaScript">
function SWFDelegate(url,width,height,caption) {
var objLink = document.createElement('a');
[Code]....
I've used both methods, I can get both to work but neither of then in IE, in AS2 just a simple getURL works, does anyone know why??
I'm getting to the point where I might just load in the section of the page as an AS2 file but I really don't like to bodge things like this.
I am currently building a flash site and want to incorporate a js lightbox to display artwork overtop the pages. From what I have read, the only way to allow content over flash is to set wmode = opaque or transparent. And that creates nothing but problems, particularly in Firefox. Is there anyway to use an application like a js lightbox and have it appear over flash without traveling into the "buggy" world of wmode?
