I want to take a static text field, convert it into a button, and use it as a button. I need it static, because I changed orientation, and I do not know how to do that otherwise. The problem is, even though I converted it to a Button symbol, it does not work when I test the movie. It works fine with "Enable simple buttons", but when I test it, the button is not there, no change in mouse cursor, no reaction at all.So this is what I did:
Made text. // static, not selectable, Orientation: vertical left to right, / //rotated; Two filters: Drop Shadow and Glow;
Converted text field to Button - Symbol (scrollBT)
Editing the Button,I put the same content (the static text field) in all four frames: No luck, not working. without the Hit frame filled (which I think doesn't really make a difference): No luck, not working.Tried again, converting the static text field in the button into a Graphic Symbol: No luck, not working.Tried again, and put some differences in the frames for "ON" and "OVER" etc.: No luck, not working.Tried again, duplicating a similar, working button, edited it, and: No luck, not working.
To the button itself and the AS: The button will be a scroll-button for a text field, with different scroll speeds on rollover and press, but nothing else. The code for that I have (I think). It's something like (and please excuse my incorrect syntax here, but I'm typing from memory; still, I use the Script-Assistant and my syntax is apparently correct; it's also working with other buttons):
on {rollOver} {
function (scroll) {
textfieldtxt.scroll - = 1;}[code]....
I'm at the end of my wits. The only difference I can tell from other (working) buttons I did the same way, is that the scrollBt does not do anything except scrolling, while all of the others have frame actions (gotoAndplay etc.) associated with them.
I would like to find out, how can i make that only a selection is made a button, for example I have a picture (.PNG format) with a transparent background, and the image in the PNG is what i want to be a button, but when i convert the PNG to a button then even the transparent part becomes a button. how can I have only the pic as a button.

View 6 RepliesI'm trying to make some buttons. Ive made a primitive rectangle and a text object with rosewood std font. Then I put the text over the rectangle the rectangle is a little bigger ussualy about a pixel more in width and height than the text in size. The problem is when I do convert to symbol(Button) the text gets all squished, I have no idea why.

View 1 RepliesI have an image that I put in my movie. I then changed it via "Convert to Symbol" to a button. Within it I have two images, one that is for the up or no mouseover version and the other for the mouseover or down position. This part works fine. However using the code below I click on the button and nothing happens. The mouseover stuff still works fine just not the getURL. This should be so simple but it is holding me up.
Code:
SkipIntro.onPress = function() {
getURL("[URL]", "_blank", "GET");
};

View 1 RepliesI have some action script (3.0) Currently, it will allow the viewer to click a button (thumbnail image) and a larger ver. of that image will appear on the stage. I would like to convert this script to a "roll_over" the button (thumbnail image) and the larger image will appear on the stage. When I tried to do this with my new Flash CS4 - it did not work. This should be simple.... Right???
Here is the current script:

var my_loader:Loader = new Loader();
//load image for thumb1
thumb1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);

View 2 Replieswhat happened in my flash document was, I created a button, "next_btn" with the following commands:
on(release){
//to remove all the splats
for (score=0;score<100;score++){[code]...
At this point, almost everything worked perfectly. Everything, but one thing. Apparently, the swapDepths command wasn't working. It was then that I thought maybe swapDepths only works on movie clips.And so I converted the button into a movie clip. I modified the instance names, etc, and almost everything worked. Everything, including swapDepths, but one thing: the gotoAndStop command.For some reason, when I tested the movie clip (containing a button) out, it removed the splat+score and finger_mc movie clips, as well as stoped the background music from playing. However, it did not go to the next scene and frame as specified by the gotoAndStop command. "s1a2" is the next scene, and "gameplays1a2" is its frame.
First of all, I would like to apologise for not knowing whether this code belongs to F5 or FMX Action Script. I'm that noobish, yup. Anyway, what happened in my flash document was, I created a button, "next_btn" with the following commands:

I have a menu with five nav buttons (atcually MovieClips). Each has three frame labels: "on", "stay", and "off". The rollover and rollout animations play flawlessly, but I'm at a loss as to how to give each button a sticky "active" state. I'd like the button to stay in it's active state until another button is clicked, then I would like it to play it's "off" animation. Each MC has this code:

View 2 RepliesI need to convert a .swf to a .flv in order to post the file on a web site that only allows .flv files. The coversion needs to be automatic (no GUI involved).Basically I have an swf that based on a text input by an user performs an animation. Now I need to aumatically upload the resulting animation to Youtube.I was thinking of going the following way:
1- Dinamically create AS3 source code that would just play the animation passing the text as parameter, avoiding having to wait for the text input, to avoid user interaction.
2- Create a service that would receive the resulting AS3 code and would compile it into an SWF using mxmlc.
3- Convert the resulting SWF to FLV with a command line tool (I have only found Moyea SWF to Video SDK, which costs $1500) . The problem is that this tool does not work on Windows 2003 Server.
