ActionScript 2.0 :: Disable All Buttons From User Forcing Button States?
Aug 25, 2008
I have 5 buttons. Each of which have different movie clips in the up, over and roll out state. To be more specific, each button looks like a window. on the up state curtains cover the windows. on roll over the windows open. on roll out they close again.
What I want to do is ON PRESS force the button to go to its roll out state and then cut off all user activity from all the buttons until the transition to the next page takes place.

I am having trouble with a job I am doing at the moment which has an mc with buttons within it. I want it so that when I roll over the mc it tweens from a small version to a larger version, and on this mc there are some buttons. At the moment I can get the mc to move but the buttons remain inactive and also the rollover states on the buttons don't work. I have attached a simpler version of what I am trying to do to this post.

I have been trying to get this all day and all I want to do is when I roll over a button it disable the main button that is in its way. I am making a header and it has a button that is lit up and shows a screen but when I roll over another button I want to disable that buttons mouse events. Here is what I have(be aware what I am trying to disable is a movie clip within the button so that is not part of action script)
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(event: MouseEvent):void
{
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://msn.com");

I'll explain the problem I have having as Im sure there are a few solutions, I have a flash website which has four main links, HOME, SERVICES, BLOG, CONTACT.
When the services button is pressed 5 more buttons come in from the right hand side each is slightly delayed to give a stacking effect.
The problem is if the user clicks on the Services button and then quickly presses the another button the service buttons tween in onto the wrong page!
The solution I am thinking is to set a time delay on the services button so when it is pressed the other buttons are delayed for a few seconds to give time for all teh serivecs buttons to tween in.
If so how could I implement it? I have bene trying many things to get it to work, I almost have it, but the delay only works the first time the button is pressed and I cant seem to get the timer to reset!

I am having an issue with flex states in my application. What I am looking to do is on creation complete of the application, obtain a user role guest/user/superUser (based on username and password) from a server, then set the state client side based on that information. My .mxml classes need to include certain graphic elements based on that state. I am running into the issues of including elements based on the states defined at the Application level of the project. I am trying to avoid having to define the states in each .mxml file that needs it.

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:

I am creating a generic website that would have abstract MCs that would load jpg or TXT fields for the user interface to allow for fast updates to the site. The MCs that would make up the user interface would be empty and load things into it using XML or PHP later on. How would I create button states for the user interface MCs. I started creating a function for every MC button state but I thought there might be a more efficient way.
and is using URLRequest the way to link to pages with in a movie well the flash movie that is the site it's self?

As I am finally dipping my toe's into AS3 from years of AS2, I am having an issue for my menu buttons (which are within a movie clip) effecting the activation of movie clips that are featured on the main timeline.
I can get this to run how i want it when each menu button is on the main timeline (by using the 'the click to go to Frame and Play' code snippet)...but when these button are within a movie clip, I can't figure out where in the code i have to add the _parent. command ?
I have attached the .fla to see what I have done. I am keen to keep using the code snippets scripts.

Below is the code I have for my buttons.I have 3 different swfs loading in once each corresponding button is selected (CLICK). I also have rollover and rollout or idle states. Now the dilemma: Once a button (mc) is selected (CLICK) I need it to remain in its rollover state. Once another button is selected I need the previously highlighted button to switch to idle state and the new button to be highlighted... Sounds like the most basic, simple, AS3 101 question, but alas I am hitting a wall. Based on my provided code what is the best option for this, an array with an active state on the timeline, a toggle with Boolean ect, ect...?
Code:
var Hotspots:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(Hotspots);
moreInfo_btn.alpha = .5;
moreInfo_btn.buttonMode=true;

Lets say I have a nav with 4 items that are blue. If I click on one, I want it to turn red and stay red to reflect that Im looking at content in that area. If I click another nav item, the previous turns back to blue while the newly selected one turns red. I started to write a function and define a variable but I would like to see an example.

If you have a movieclip that contains two buttons, each with different actions. The movieclip that contains the two buttons also has an on realease action applied to it. Is there a way to disable the "parent" button and allow the two buttons contained within it to work?I've tried the parent_moviclip.enabled = false; but that doesn't seem to work.

I'm trying to make buttons for my website that have sounds playing on them during the over states. But when you move the mouse off the button, the sound keeps playing. Run that mouse everywhere, the sounds are all playing, it's chaos. How do I fix a button so that the sound stops playing when the mouse moves off?

I have the following code to control the rollOver, rollOut and release states from my buttons (btn_company, btn_products, btn_services and btn_enquiry):
Code:
for (var i in this) {
if (this[i]._name.substr(0, 4) == "btn_") {[code]...
I also have 4 movieclips (title_company, title_products, title_services and title_enquiry) which I also want to control with those buttons. When btn_company is pressed, title_company should go to frame 2, When after that btn_products is pressed title-products should go to frame 2 and title-company should go back to frame one.

I work with Flash all day at work, and I've made a million buttons. But today, I decided to make a few at home for my personal website. I made a rectangle, turned it into a button symbol, and made keyframes on each state. When I tested it, it didn't work. If I go to Control -> enable simple buttons, it works just fine, but either testing it with ctrl-enter or opening up the SWF gives me a dead button with only the up state.
I uploaded the fla. How could something so simple not work?
It was created in flash CS4, but I saved it down to CS3/Flash player 9 for the sake of compatibility.

Well I've got some problems changing the Up, Over, Down and Hit state of my button. For example when I have created 4 of those states, and I just normally save my flash file, the next time I open it my states are gone but when I play my animation the button still works with the correct states (the created Up, Down, etc. states). But then again when I enter my editor to create those Up, Over, Down, and Hit states they're just missing?

I've got about 6 buttons laid out, one on top of the other in a list format. In their normal state the buttons are grey in colour, when I rollover them, the buttons flash and turn to orange. Now, what I need to happen is this: I want the buttons to stay orange once clicked and only roll out back to grey when the user has clicked on another button in the list. I've been told that the best way to do this is via adding a listener, however I am a little unsure as to how to go about this. I've checked the flash help file and have a basic understanding of how listeners work...but can't really wrap my head around applying it to this situation. Perhaps I will need to have all the buttons as separate broadcasters?

I have a mouseOver and mouseOut stage of a button. Each button has some text in it. When I rollover the button the button does some animation, however, as soon as I rollover the text, which is inside the button, it triggers the rollout event. The text is inside the button and is inside another movie clip with no actionscript applied to it. The text is even non-selectable. What am I doing wrong?

for(var i:Number = 1; i<4; i++){
var tmpMC:MovieClip = getChildByName('main_link'+i) as MovieClip;

I am trying to complete my navigation bar. I have the onRollOver / Out and Release states finished, my only problem now is that onRelease is not reversable. Once I click on another button, my previously pressed button is still in its down state. All my buttons have been created dynamically with no timelines involved. He is the button code that is within a for loop:

navBar["myBtn"+i].onRollOver = function() {

I came across this piece of code and it intrigued me. I haven't seen skinning like this before. I'd like to know if there are any downsides and alternatives to it. For example, is it cpu intensive like addChild calls are?
<s:Button id="loginoutBtn" right="10" top="10" label="Log out" label.loggedout="Log in" skinClass.loggedin="skins.FBLogoutButtonSkin" skinClass.loggedout="skins.FBLoginButtonSkin" click.loggedin="logout()" click.loggedout="login()"/>

I'm just looking for a simpler way to control button states instead of writing separate onRollOver, onRollOut, onRelease for each button. I tried to control them all through an array. The button Movieclips are nested in two movieclips. main_nav has 5 movieclips and main-nav02 has 2 movieclips. I have a general idea of how an array works, how to set up elements and how to access each node (not sure about that last one).
This is my code so far.
Select all
////////MAIN NAV ROLLOVER CONTROLS
var navArray:Array = new Array("main_nav.one","main_nav.two","main_nav.three","main_nav.four","main_nav.five","main_nav02.one","main_nav02.two");
var indexNav:Number = Math.floor(navArray.length);

I have been working on a button class and ran into a little bit of a snag.
Here is the class I created:
package
{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
[Code]....
Now while this class is working, I can't seem to figure out how to make it so when you click on one button it makes sure all the other buttons are sent back to the offState. I am using _mc's for my buttons. I think I need to put my buttons into an array and keep track of them at way, but I'm not sure about how to do that. Would I be able to get this effect to work in this .as file or would i need to write another one to control the buttons and where they are in there states(up/down/over).
