ActionScript 2.0 :: Controlling Flv With Custom Buttons?
Feb 6, 2009
I have created a presentation which is mostly graphics and voiceover. I have created a few custom buttons to allow the user to pause, start over, etc. (not video). In a few places I am calling to external flv files which have been placed inside movieclips. I want to be use my custom pause button to pause the flv as well, as opposed to using a flv player/controller. I have made several attempts such as:
_on (release) {
_root.myvideo_mc.pause();
}
[Code]....
and trying stop/play instead of pause, etc...all to no avail. the appropriate scripting to control an flv with a custom button?

I'm updating my website and found out that I originally created it using AS1. I now need to update to AS3 and am having difficult time learning AS3 or even catching on to the basics. On two of my pages, I created a static text box, which I turned into a movie clip to have controlled by buttons. I got my down button to work, but I'm still having a problem with my up button. I can get it to work if I use the same code as my "down", but then my movie clip text continue scrolling down, instead of up. Here is my current set up:
Movie clip controller that is 3 frames:
Frame 1: stop action
Frame 2: blank
Frame 3: gotoAndPlay(2);

I figured out how to use custom cursor by using Mouse.hide and startDrag but I can't figure out how to control the movement of it. What I want to do is that when you mouse over a button the cursor gets pushed away from the button and stays there. I've seen examples of controlling the speed of the cursor but what i can't find any examples of literally moving your cursor location.

I am trying to create a way of controlling movieclip depths, which movieclip is show above another, so that I can set the depth of a movieclip to any number and they will be displayed with higher values above lower values. I was thinking of creating a MovieClipDepth class that extends MovieClip with the added property depth, and a Container class that extends DisplayObjectContainer which all objects will be placed inside of. The Container class will override the addChild method to update the child display order when a child is added.

I am trying to control my main Scene 1 via a navigation bar within a movie clip.
I am using the following code for each button:
btn_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btnClickHa ndler);
function btnClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay("frametwo","Scene 1");
}
If I just put that code in for one button, that one button will work, but once I add another line of code for my next button, the only one that works is the first one, then the rest of them don't do anything.

i have forward/back buttons to control the timeline. what happens in the following code is that if the button is clicked while in the < or > range of frames, it gets buggy. heres the code.
[Code].....
this doesnt seem to go to the exact frame i need if i click while the current sample is still animating in. It would be much better if i could tell flash to a specific frame instead of asking flash to determine a range. that way, if a button is pressed during an animation it wont just advance one frame, it would jump to a specific frame.
I wish i could just do this:
[Code].....
i thought about creating a var that would be a string. i could then add a number to the name of that string each time the button is clicked. then i could make frame labels the name of the string. but i couldnt get my head around it. also, i didnt know how to make the button stop adding to the string name once it reach a certain value (6 in this case). or how to make it play the last sample animation if the user kept clicking the advance button at the end of the samples.

I'm making a section in my production with 4 audio files which are controlled with a play and stop button. I've managed to make the first one work on the page with this code -
Code:
import flash.media.SoundChannel;
var mySoundReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("audio/track1.mp3");
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
[Code].....
What would I need to copy to control 3 other files the same way? (i.e "audio/track2.mp3" with play_btn2/stop_btn2). I've tried copying part of the code and changing the instant names but I keep getting errors so I'd rather ask somebody who knows what they're doing.

I'm trying to build a simple slideshow with AS3 consisting of one movie clip which should be controlled backwards and forwards using simple buttons. I can get the slideshow to play forward once but, apart from getting slide 2 to go back to slide 1, I can't get it to work with the remaining slides.

I have a 4 frame file that is a dvd menu. Buttons controlling navigation between all frames. There is a main page, and 3 child pages that link back to main. I have an mp3 file that I need to add as background music. I have created a new layer and added the following to the action of frame 1.
soundInstance = new Sound();soundInstance.attachSound("Music name from library"); My problem is that every time I navigate back to main from one of the child pages a new instance of the song begins so I end up with a round of music. I need the initial instance to persist throughout and not loop til the end of the song.

I have a text movieclip (service_mc) on the stage for which I need to control 4 different _xpositions (_x = 0, _x = -700, _x = -1400, x = -2100) with 4 button mc's (btn_one, btn_two, btn_three, btn_four).
For these four buttons I already declared the Over, Out, Release and Restore stage in a function:
Code]...
What I like to accomplish is to control the _x positions of "service_mc" with the same buttons. I mean when btn_one is pressed service_mc should go to _x = 0, when btn_two is pressed the _x position from service_mc should change to _x = -700 etc, etc
How to integrate this possibility in the existing function?

I'm trying to create a movie clip that can be controlled to move a shape left or right (as animated in the movie clip) via buttons on the main stage.
I was thinking I could just add prevFrame or nextFrame to the controlling buttons when the mouse rolls over them... like this:
Code:
on (rollOver) {
this.shape.prevFrame();
}
But now I need a method of repeating it non-stop while you are on the button. Can I loop the prevFrame infinatly or loop that line of code?
P.S I'm just getting to grips with actionscript and I'm hitting a few hurdles on the way, so please excuse my ignorance.

I am somewhat new to flash and am having some trouble trying to control two different movie clips with two different buttons. Currently when either one of the buttons is pressed both movie clips start to play. How can I set file up so that if button 1 is pressed movie clip 1 will play and if button 2 is pressed movie clip 2 will play

I have a straight forward flash document where the play head plays from start to finish. The client wants a way to stop and start the animation if time is needed to discuss what is happening on screen. Simple buttons can easily do this if those buttons are not nested.
Code:
stopBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onStopClick, false, 0, true);
playBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onPlayClick, false, 0, true);
stopBtn.buttonMode = true;
[Code]....
However, if I make a mouse over pop up movie clip button and place those button inside it, they do not work. I can not find the piece of code that will link these nested buttons back to the main time line.

I have a movie (back.swf) and this calls into another (menu.swf, level20). I want to control the movie clips to the level0 with the buttons on level20. I do that but I can't control in a random order.
For example:
I press button 1 and play movie clip 1.
I press button 2 and play movie clip 2.
But if I press again button 1 don't play it.
And if I press the button 3 play the movie 3 but don't allow to return to the button 1 and 2.
Every movie clips are in level0.

I have just recently purchased Adobe Flash CS5 and have read through the entire "Classroom In A Book" for Adobe Flash CS4 Professional. However, the book never went into much detail into what I am trying to do. I'm creating a website for me and my fiance because we have formed a classical guitar and flute duo and want to exhibit some of our recordings. I have the buttons for the recordings created with their corresponding sound file. However, I cannot figure out how to stop the file when I click on another button recording; if I click all buttons, all sound files just keep playing simultaneously.

This is my first time coding a website using ActionScript. So far everything has went very well, I designed the website in Photoshop, and imported to Flash CS5. Then I cleaned everything up, and started adding navigation to the various pages using buttons.The website is constructed in a very simple manner, there are five main pages and they are connected by buttons on a static navigation bar (the first page, home, doesn't have a corresponding button). Then there are nine sub pages, that each contain information on a character of the game, and are connected to corresponding buttons in the 'Character' layer/MovieClip. My four menu buttons (Story, The World, Characters, Extras) all navigate correctly without problems.
The problem arises because inside my Characters page (a movie clip) are nine buttons, each linking to a different page. These buttons should bring the timeline to the frame specified, but when the buttons are clicked nothing happens. I've spent hours searching for a solution to this, but with no avail, and I have a feeling the answer is prettysimple.gotoAndStop("gowang", "Scene 1");line in the Gowang character button function with:MovieClip(root).gotoAndStop("gowang");

I have created a website in Dreamweaver and it functions entirely upon hiding/showing divs, using the appropriate behavior (very basic html knowledge on my part So it's just one page in which layers are alternatively hidden and shown.I have created a set of flash buttons (they are all in one file, because a very basic Flash animation is supposed to make them fade in one by one when another flash button inserted in the html page is activated). Now, I have two problems regarding this:
1. On page load, this "animation" (the buttons which fade in successively one after another) appears automatically, even though it is located inside a div which is invisible by default and should only be visible at the trigger of a button. This is not acceptable for me because it is a submenu which should be invisible at first.
2. Let's suppose item #1 is resolved. Different html divs are supposed to appear/be hidden when rolling over each of these Flash buttons, and I haven't been able to find out how to do this. I know I should work with the Flash code in order to do this, "on (rollover) {//no idea what to place here to call the Javascript function from dreamweaver which I don't know how to create, if it's not applied directly to an object//}
This is the site: www(dot)wise-ls(dot)comlu(dot)com (I'm working on expanding the width, that's why it looks funny The section in question is "soluciones", and what I want to do is replace the text links with Flash buttons.

I'm just starting to learn as 3.0, and was having problem understanding the scenes, timeline (stage, root) and movieclips.
Basically now I have two scenes: S1, S2
S1 has one mc: round_mc ; S2 has one mc: rect_mc
And I have same set of control buttons: play, stop, prevFrame, nextFrame, prevScene, nextScene, gotoAndStop()
The control buttons worked with the round_mc in S1, but didn't control rect_mc when S2 is playing. Why same set of buttons doesn't work in all scenes. Should I have to assign a variable to detect movieclips on the current scene...
Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
prevS_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, preScene);
nextS_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nexScene);
prev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, preframe);

I have two buttons (a and b) and a ball movie clip (ballMove) on the screen.This is what I want to happen:The ball starts off under button A. If you click button A, the ball stays where it is. If you click button B, the ball moves over to button B.When the ball is under button B it won't move if B if clicked, but will move to A if A is clicked.How I plan on doing this is within the ball movie there will be three motion tweens, staggered so they don't overlap. The first isn't a tween at all, actually. It is one key frame at the very start of the movie timeline. I have labelled it "beginning". Also, it has a stop action and var busbus = 1. Bus is the variable I want to use to track the position of the ball.
The next tween is the ball travelling from point a to b. The start frame is labelled "atobbegin". There is a keyframe at the end labelled "atobeend". A stop action is on this keyframe, and also bus = 4.The final tween is the ball travelling from point b to point a. The start frame is labelled "btoabegin" and the end keyframe is labelled "btoaend" with a stop action and bus = 8.Eek, just got Deja Vu.er, moving right along....
On button A I have assigned these actions:
on (release) {
if (_root.ballMove.bus == 4) {

I have a big circle with buildings all around the edge. There are two buttons that should control it. One to rotate the circle left, and one to rotate the circle right. I'd like each click of a button to rotate the circle and have it stop on a building, which then would activate an animation of the building.
