ActionScript 2.0 :: Can't Click A Button Inside A Movieclip
Jan 6, 2010
I have made a sort of drop down menu of a movieclip. There are actually two, the first one named list_over_mc is only to detect when the mouse is in the area for when to drop down the menu (onRollOver) and the other one, list_mc, is holding the menu itself. The problem is that when the menu is down nothing happens when I click the button (now named knapp1_btn). I have tried with another but with the same sort of script (but placed outside of the movieclip list_over_mc) and that works so I'm guessing it is because the button is "over" the other movieclip.
i found a script that unloads my external swf inside a movieclip when i click a button on my main screen. this script causes the external flash inside my moviclip to close and unload when i click the close button, which is what i want!. the only pain in the butt is it preloads the external flash when you go the flash site and i dont want that. i only want the script to close the external swf. if anyone is curious book.swf is the swf in the movieclip i am trying to close.[code]
I am building a flash interface and I would like a menu where it is hidden to begin with (just a tab). You click the tab to expand it, and click again to collapse it. I've made a movieclip with animation of the menu opening up and closing, but I can't seem to work out how I'd go about making the movieclip open and close properly.
I have a button inside another button which is inside a movieclip. *whew*I have it so that when you click on the movieclip, a dialog box pops up. I have two buttons on the dialog box, but for some reason you can't click on them and when you do, the dialog box just disappears. Here's a picture of what I'm talking about, so how do i get the "YES/NO" buttons to work? Oh, the buttons are not included in that Graphic
I have a draggable movieclip, mc_PI on stage in which I have another movieclip, mc_PIcontainer into which I load an image.I then place a few buttons, btn_Ant1, btn_Ant2, etc. inside mc_PI.mc_PI drags just fine within the bounds I specify, but I cannot click on any of the buttons that are located inside mc_PI.I need the buttons to be inside mc_PI, because I need them to drag along with the image located in mc_PI.mcPIcontainer.[code]
I'm working with a MovieClip ("mainMenuItem") that is linked to a Class ("GenericMenuItem.as") that uses attachMovie to add another movieclip ("Arrow") to mainMenuItem as follows:mcArrow = this.attachMovie(prefix+"Arrow", "_Arrow_symbol", this.getNextHighestDepth());I'm able to use on(release) within the Class definition to capture clicks on the mainMenuItem component, but haven't been able to find a way to detect a click on the "Arrow" library item that gets attached to that component.
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.
How 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.
I'm using a data grid with an item renderer that creates a toggle button. The idea is to have a list of items and only allow one to be selected and pre-select one at start.I've got the single button selection working, meaning that when I click on on toggle button, the others are deselected.My problem is to create a way of pre-selecting an element of the data grid or simulate a click on a row and selecting the corresponding toggle button.If I use the datagrid.selectedIndex the result is a selection but the toggle button doesn't get selected.Here is the code exampleIn this example I am using the array value "selected" to define selected button, not my favourite solution but the one that worked first.The array collection:
public static const ValuesList : ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection( [ {ID:0, Name:"One", selected:false},
I was just wondering why it is that after I have clicked a button to run a movieclip, I have to click it twice to run it again? I would like to be able to run it again with just one click - it is for a true and false set of questions. The movieclip is an animation that runs if correct (and there is another if it is incorrect.
Here is the button script
on (release) { _root.tf1_mc._visible=false; _root.tf2_mc._visible=true; _root.tf2_mc.gotoAndPlay(1); }
comment: tf1_mc runs when the true button is clicked and tf2_mc runs when the false button is clicked. The script above is for the false button
I'm almost 100% sure that I have to write an if, else statement for this. Below is the code I have for a button(movieclip) I created. It is suppose to play an animation when you click on it. Then when you click it again it's suppose to play a second animation that will take it back to the original state. What is happening is, it goes straight to the clicked state without playing the animation. However when you click the second time it plays the animation that takes you back to the original state. Am I correct in believing the only way to get the animation to play on both clicks is to use an if, else statement.
function clickPlus(event:MouseEvent):void {btn1.gotoAndPlay("clickOpen"); }btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickPlus); function clickX(event:MouseEvent):void {btn1.gotoAndPlay("clickClose"); }btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickX); btn1.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickPlus);
I have browse button on stage. when i click this i am uploading a image to a movieclip. then the movieclip is added to the stage. my issue is when i click the browse button 2nd time i need to select another image and add to another movieclip and display it to the stage
I got this code but when i click on another button is is still there how do i get it to disappear? I have two movieclip one is the snow and another movieclip is an empty mc called snow2
ActionScript Code: i =0; while (i<25) { //duplicateMovieClip (dot, "dot" +i, i); dot.duplicateMovieClip("snow"+i, i); i++; [Code].....
public function mc1():Void { for (i=0; i<9; i++) { c = c+30; //here my_clip is a refrence to stage var mc_new = my_clip.attachMovie("mc_bread", "bread_"+i, my_clip.getNextHighestDepth()+1, {_x:80, _y:385-c}); mc_new._visible = false; [Code] ...... See the function visibility I am trying to set visible a movieclip on a click of a button. this code gives no error but still movie clip is not visible.
I am building a navigation menu with buttons that call and show a movieclip just below the button. I have no more compiler or output errors. Despite this, I still dont have a working navigation menu.The movieclips are only found in the library and are being called by buttons on the timeline. I currently have all the actionscript on frame 1 on a separate layer of the main timeline. None of the buttons or movieclips have code associated with them individually.The code I have created is as follows (I omited some bc the functions get repetitious).
Before telling you my problem in actionscript, I would like to explain on how the system works. Please bear with my long explanations.I have a list of data that need to be display out. I've created one movieclip and I named it table_mc. Inside the table_mc, I put 2 dynamic text and one blue box with alpha 0. In order to display a list of data out, I used a table component in flash to duplicate the movieclip, table_mc. It saved me from doing a "for loop".
I wanted the list of data to be clickable so I converted the 2 dynamic text in table_mc, into movieclip. I named it table_but. When I clicked onto table_but, the blue box will appear, alpha 100 to show that it is being clicked.Here's the problem. I've done an actionscript in table_mc. In the list example, when i clicked onto no '2', the blue box appear and if I clicked onto no '5' the blue box for no '2' should disappear. Unfortunately the blue boxes will appear there together when i clicked onto no '2', '5' and '7' because they shared the same movieclip table_mc. Is there a way to do it when the blue box can only appear at a time?
I put a mcBtn in the end game frame, put this code in the frame: mcBtn.buttonMode = true; mcBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playGame); function playGame(e:Event):void { play:(1); } The object is to go to frame 1 when you press mcBtn. When I click it, Nothing.
I'm adding a MovieClip with with the following code in the main timeline:
var mcCiclo_01:mc_ciclo=new mc_ciclo; function ciclo(event:MouseEvent):void{ addChild(mcCiclo_01); }
I want to use a button inside that movieclip to link to an external web page. I was able to do that with dot notation if the movieclip was "fisically" in the main timeline but this way doesn't work.
I've got a movieClip with some Actionscript applied to it (to make it rotate, stop onMouseOver, and continue onMouseOut).Now, I basically want a button inside that movie clip - applied to the object that's spinning.Whenever I put the button inside the movieClip, Flash doesn't recognise it. According to the SWF, the button doesn't exist.So, how do I get a button in a movieClip that has Actionscript applied to it?Or, am I going about this the wrong way and there's an obvious answer that I'm missing?(My idea is, for those who watch Stargate, to have the inner chevron ring spin, for it to stop spinning onMouseOver and then have the user click a chevron
I'm trying to add an event listener to a button inside a movieclip. I have a movieclip called MainMenuGraphic that I get from the .fla library, and inside that movie clip is a button named btnNew. When btnNew is pressed the mouse event is supposed to trigger a handler that runs a trace, but I have not been able to get that trace to show in my output window. This is my code:
How 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 dont get errors with this code, but nothing happens when I click the button. What can I do?
i CAN'T CLICK on any button, movieclip layer and have actionscript work, it just says "CURRENT SELECTION CANNOT HAVE ACTIONS APPLIED TO IT" what do i have to do so that i can click on my button's and go in action pannel and be able to input my actions without it saying "CURRENT SELECTION CANNOT HAVE ACTIONS APPLIED TO IT"
I have a button on the stage which works fine and performs various actions. I have a movie clip on the stage, that contains 10 different buttons which when you click advances you to the next button and does different things and so on and so on. Again independantly this movie clip with buttons works fine.
What I want to do however is this. I want to click on the main button on the stage, have that 'click' replicated to the other button within the movieclip so I can action both with a single clip.
