ActionScript 2.0 :: Clicking Button Before Animation Is Complete?
Dec 8, 2008
I'm working on a small flash site, and when I click on a menu item it fades into the next page. The problem is when I click on several buttons in rapid succession, not allowing the page animation to complete, which screws up everything leaving pages superimposed on top of other pages. My question is, how do I handle this problem, outside of deactivating the buttons until the animation is complete. I would like the user to be able to click the button no matter where the page is in its animation and have a smooth transition to the next page.
I'm using a custom class to lay out a background consisting of square tiles picked at random. These are provided to the class as an array of library symbols, and they are placed on stage with the attachMovie method.- These tiles are different animations that all end up in a solid colored square. When all the tiles have finished animating, the result will be a large rectangular shape that serves as a unified background for content like text and graphics, so I't simply a sort of fancy build animation for the background.
- Naturally, I don't want to be displaying content before the animation has finished, so I need to do that based on some kind of event being dispatched. The problem is that these animations are timeline-based and I want my class to know when all background clips have reached their final frame.The question: How should I do this? Extending MovieClip for each of the animations seems a bit tedious since that would require one class per background tile MovieClip, and I don't want to be constantly checking the currentFrame of all the clips either.
Code: public function TiledBackground(target:MovieClip, bgSymbols:Array,
I need a little help to complete the hitTest for my animation sequence. Please see the orange section of my code:
Code: stop(); var myLoader03:Loader=new Loader (); temperature_small.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,dragTemperature); function dragTemperature(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
[code]....
As you can see (hopefully), I need the movieclip to be released by stopDrag and it must also overlap with the CH1_btn button before the URLRequest can proceed. But what I'm getting now is the mouse loses control of the temperature_small movieclip when it contacts the CH1_btn (I keep moving the mouse around, but the movieclip remains stuck with the CH1_btn button). The trace didn't work and the URLRequest didn't proceed as well.
[URL].. The preloader on this site seems to run through a complete animation before moving forward in the movie.
I am curious if there is something to how preloaders like this work. Does each animation happen after a certain precent is loaded (in this example, when the squares turn green) or are they just animations that have nothing to do with the actual preloading?
Is there any way to click on a button (or movieclip) in Flash and somehow get the current framelabel that the instance happens to be on? my_button_instance.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickInstance, false, 0, true); private function clickInstance(e:MouseEvent):void { trace(trace-out-the-frame-label-here?); }
I've been having some trouble with tweens. Here's a description of my usage:
I have a system where a textbox is the child of a movieclip. When you click the "Next" button, the movieclip fades to 0-alpha and upon completion, the text in the textbox is changed (to the next index in an array) and it tweens back in to 100-alpha. This makes a nice transition through the text.
My issue is that sometimes it doesn't tween back in, only out, leaving the user with an empty box where text should be.
However, I'd asked this question previously with the thought that it was "Timing out". Now, after significant testing I realised that it only happens if I click or select some of the text on the text box. Could it have something to do with this text selection intefering with the changeText function below... (it's the same text box, just the text changes).
CODE:
function changeClick(e:MouseEvent):void { if (e.currentTarget==btnRight) { newDirect="right"; } else {
i have to generate a button dynamically... and have to keep a click handler for the same how to write script for clicking buttonim using following code for creating button dynamically
I have many buttons (symbols). This is what I want it to do: -Select a button on the screen, and then a movieclip plays. - If the user selects any OTHER button on screen, a message box displays a message.
I want to stop the sound loop from one button by clicking new button. Does anyone know the code that would stop one button's sound from looping by just clicking another button (for another sound)?So you have these buttons:button 1 button 2 button 3 button 4and after clicking "button 1" a sound loops. when i click "button 2" i want the sound from "button 1' to stop.
I am using actionscript 3 to make a point and click game. On frame 1 there are two buttons, button 1 and 2. On frame 3 there are two buttons, button A and B. I want it so that after I click button 1 on frame 1, button A on frame 3 will be hidden or when I click button 2 on frame 1, button B on frame 3 will be hidden. The buttons that are hidden do not do anything when you click them.
ok lets say you create a button that when held down play an animation of 20 frames if realsed it goes to frame one and stops if held down it plays out this animation. for the topic lets say you have a fire animation and you want the fire to apear and if the user hold its down the animation reaches the end of the time line and loops back and plays the last 5 frames of the animation and as soon as it is let go it goes to and stops at frame one. Well i know how to make a button that when held down plays out an animation. And i know how to say when released goes to and stops at frame one. What i dont know how to do is to loop the fire at the last 5 or 6 frames so the user can hold it down all day long and play out that animation.
im trying to do is have a button that shows an animation (created by a duplicateMovieClip function) with onRollOver and stops the animation with onRollOut. It works when i roll over and it stops when i roll out, but then it continues in a loop up to the point where i rolled out (instead of cutting off completely as i would like). Id be extremely grateful if you could tell me where im going wrong.
ive made a button and ive got it to randomly move to a different position on the screen.the probelm is when i click, everything else on the stage moves. They are all on different layers.How do i get different buttons to only move when i click on them, otherwise they stay where they are
I made a test where I download a file using URLLoader - something like this:
[Code]....
in the middle of the downloading process I physically disconnect the internet connection. the download stalls - but after aproximately 30 seconds downloadSuccessful is invoked, although only half of the data was downloaded. how can I make sure that the data to be downloaded is complete and correct?
I am loading in binary files with the url class which can be quite large 10mb + and it works fine on my server but another server I am testing on it can sometimes not work. Sometimes it will not load the file and other times it will only load about 20% and it throw a complete event??? Then of course other times it works fine. This server is https maybe that has something to do this it?
Hi! I just figured out how to animate a button on mouse over. My question now is, how could I make a button animate after clicking it and before it goes to the link?
I am autoplaying a FLV in a SWF in scene 1. I have created buttons on this same scene that will do different things, and present different information. I really want that button to pause that autoplaying video when it starts those actions. How can I accomplish this?
I created a flash site and on the gallery page I load a gallery .swf and I want to be able to click on the "about" and "contact" buttons and have it go to there page and unload the gallery swf. This is the code I have on the gallery frame
import flash.net.URLRequest; import flash.display.Loader; import flash.events.Event; import flash.events.ProgressEvent; function startLoad(){ var mLoader:Loader = new Loader(); [Code] .....
Im creating an xml based mp3 player in AS3. I have everthing working except the repeat song part. I need a code to loop the song endlessly on the click of a button, while the song is playing. Say the user is listening to a song and wants to hear it again. They can click on the loop button and replay the song until they click on the loop button again, to take the loop off. Once the loop button is clicked again, the current song ends and plays the next song in the playlist. As the playlist continues to play, I hear another song that I want to replay, so I click on the loop button. Also I need to be able to pause the song and then play it, while the loop is in affect.
I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 and ActionScript 2, And I need to go to the next scene buy clicking on a button. Instead it stays in the same scene. And this is the code I use:
I'm making a website with mc used as button for the menu. I want that when I click on a button it remain on "over" state, then when I click another button it come back to "up" state and the new one to "over", I can do this, but then I can't assign single action to every button (like onRollOver, gotoAndPlay ecc..).
Here is my code: The button instance is pbtn0, pbtn1 and so on to 4. fncBtnBuild = function () { For each of 5... for (var icrBtn = 0; icrBtn<5; icrBtn++) { Create a reference to a movieclip-button's instance name (pbtn0 through pbtn4). var rfcClip = this["pbtn"+icrBtn]; [Code] .....
if i click the button continuously, there will be also continuous trace of "click" base on how many times i clicked the button..now the question is, how could i make it only one trace of "click" event if i clicked the button many times?
Code: button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick) function onClick(e:MouseEvent):void
i have a few scenes that run all together by clicking on a button to get to the next scenes. instead of the next scenes coming and going super fast, i want to have some neat type of animation that string them all together when you want to get to the next scene.
I have drawn intersecting lines. The user can click on a region inside the angle formed by the two lines.When the user clicks inside the area, the small region formed by the arc between the two lines showing the angle should change. How can I do that.the region between the intersecting lines is sprite object to dispatch event listener, but the arc is shape object.
I'm new to wonderful world of flash and I'm having a little trouble with a button I've created. Basically, I have a button which covers an image. I'd like to make it so that after the button is clicked, it disappears - thus exposing the image behind it.
