I got a question about disabling buttons, got this set of buttons where its animation is made by AS, so what I did is I put each button on separate MCs to make it move, but my prob is I have to disable the button while the animation is on progress..how do I stop it?
View 3 RepliesI am having trouble with my buttons, they work perfectly,do what they are supposed to do. I am using this code for my buttons:
Code:
choco1.visited = false;
choco1.onRollOver = function()[code]....
When you click on the movie clip it goes to another frame and an animation plays: THE PROBLEM: When it goes to the animation frame after clicking the button, you are still able to click the button even though the buttons are behind the animation that is playing...how would i go about disabling the buttons while it is on the animation frame but also keep the visited state of the button clicked?
Now I have 2 movieclip. Mc1 & mc2. I planned to to make mc2 do certain animation and user must input the key within the progress animation of the mc2 in order prevent something happen
View 1 Repliesi have a movie with this button which disables it upon loading of external .swf file:
on(release) {
loadMovieNum ("lg_01.swf", 2);
i1.enabled = false;
}
the site in progress: [URL]..How do i tell said .swf file to re-enable the "i1" instance from the original .swf file it loaded into? I guess where I'm getting lost is how to tell one .swf to affect another.
I think if i knew this little tidbit, I would most definitely be able to have more control over my sites.
I'm a self-taught novice actionscripter and obviously don't know enough to do something as simple as this.
scenario: user rolls over a button, "something_mc" covers the entire flash movie, but buttons underneath that "something_mc" are still active. how would i disable the buttons underneath until user rolls off of "something_mc" (and in doing so reactivates the buttons).looks like most search options here bring up when another .swf is loaded ontop of another. my situation is if everythings in the same movie.
View 1 RepliesI've created a gallery to play some FLV videos and after getting the thumbnail buttons to go and play on specific frame labels, I now need to disable the button that was clicked and have it re enabled when I click on a different button. Here is my code so far:
stop();
btn01.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);
btn02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);
btn03.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);

I'm building a site at the mo with pop up that can be activated and covers the main page with a new info page. This popup can be activated at anytime and will cover whatever is in the main page. Trouble is, buttons are still active from the main page when popup is displayed and given the site design the only way to stop this problem is disabling the buttons below. What is a good way of doing this? I was hoping flash keeps some sort of array of mc content and the buttons could be identifed this way but somehow i don't think this is likely!
View 1 Repliesmain swf load's in empty mc an external swf (submenu) and each swf load's in empty mc subsubmenu) other swf.
now in each sub_swf (second swf) when button is clicked I disable some buttons:
on (release) {
loadMovie("books_1.swf",empty)

I have an mc that when you rollover opens a menu system. There are buttons behind this menu system that I would like to have disabled when the menu system is open and re-enabled when the menu system is closed. I have this script on my timeline:
[AS]
function lnkenable(isIt) {
lnk0.enabled = isIt;

View 1 RepliesI want to disable all buttons on the stage when a certainevent trigger. Some of the buttons are already on the stage (manuallyplaced) at the startup and others are placed dynamically usingactionscript.Do I really have to assign each button a code telling them tobe disabled or can I target them all at onc
View 1 RepliesSo lets say if you three movies loaded on the stage on top of each other and if I want to disable the buttons for all the movies that under the very top one so this way user is only able to click on the button of the very top loaded movie.
View 1 RepliesI've created a sliding menu that has a left button and a right button. Each button slides a background movieclip to the left or right. The background mc eases into position when one of the buttons is clicked. Problem is that buttons can still be clicked while the mc is easing into position. This throws off my x coordinate positioning of the mc. I've tried disabling the buttons and enabling them again at a few different points in my code. I've also tried using a time delay to enable the buttons but my logic isn't working. I've stripped the code that was not working out.
View 5 RepliesI'm working on a test where the user must find specific error keywords on a document and click on them to identify them as errors. After they click on an error, a movieclip popup displays to tell them they did a good job and explain why the error is an error.
On the movieclip that pops up, I've got a standard X close button to kill the movieclip. The problem is, when you click on the close button, the 20 buttons on the document below are still active, and can still be clicked on. Is there a simple way to disable them all, but only when a popup movieclip is being displayed?
Is there a way to disable buttons while a movieclip plays?Here's the logic in english:If you mouse_over buttonA and buttonB, fly_mc plays.If you mouse_over buttonC, flutter_mc plays.While fly_mc is playing, flutter_mc cannot play, and vice versa.
View 2 Repliesso...i've got these buttons in movie clips. the buttons are animated for mouseover and i've also got an action on the first frame of the main timeline to get the buttons to stay active when clicked on, so the view knows where he is.the problem with this is that any time i go to put an action on the button itself to pull up an external .swf or whatever, the buttons stop animating and/or stop staying "depressed" on the active sheet.
View 1 RepliesI've created a progress bar animation to load an external SWF file as described in this document: [URL] The problem is, the SWF file i want to load is a magazine exported from Indesign, so I want it to display one page (frame) at a time (you can go to the next page using the navigation buttons provided). When I use the method mentioned above the clip loads, but then it plays... so how can i make it stop at the first frame?
View 4 RepliesI am learning Action Script and have been working on a menu of buttons that will disable when clicked and enable when not clicked. The buttons are nested inside two movie clips called main and menu, whose instance names are main_mc and menu_mc. I have 3 files the fla with actionscript in frame 1, a ButtonSet class file and a DisablingButton file. get this error: 1120: Access of undefined property one_mc.(for each of the seven buttons)

Is there a way for a SWF to save progress in an animation? I'm planning on creating a very interactive website but I want it to be able to remember the settings people use for instance after they drag a button. I mean, after you quit the page. It still has to remember.
View 3 RepliesI am wondering how can one stop the user from clicking on a button (MC) without using btn.enabled = false.example: i have a menu that has buttons which have tweens on rollover and onRelease events. I want to be able to click on home for e.g. disabling all other buttons to avoid user clicking but still keep the rollover. I have tried btn.enabled = false and of course i dont want to disable the entire btn and instead i want to disable just the onRelease event or even avoid the mouse from clicking until the animation finish. Only Then, user can click on another menu button.

View 1 RepliesSo I'm making a game which has different scenes. One of my scenes has six buttons, of which need to be pressed in a certain order to progress in my game.
View 9 RepliesI have an SWF movie (1375 frames) and created a progress bar (248px wide) with a slider that moves according to the movie progress. I'm doing that next way:Calculating the distance for the slider to be moved each frame (248 / 1375) On each ENTER_FRAME moving the slider for the calculated distance The problem is - the movie ends far before the slider reaches the end of the progress bar.
I'm thinking that the distance (Step 1) is is somehow ends floored by Flash and the actual distance it moves the slider is smaller than required. That's why the movie ends, but the timeline control just passed the 2/3 of its way. My question is - is there any solution for the problem? Or any other way to go, if it's a wrong one?
I have a progress bar inside a repeater and therefore I will need to use getRepeaterItem to set it's progress as suggested in this question.
How can I do that such that the value of progress may be taken from repMonitor.currentItem.threatLevel?
<mx:Accordion id="monAccordian" includeIn="Monitoring" x="10" y="10" width="554" height="242" change="monAccordianChange()" >

I have a simple game with a dial and a needle. I have made two "right" and "wrong" buttons.Simply, I need to be able to make the needle move forward when the "right" buttons is clicked, and backward when the "wrong" button is clicked, regardless of the needleposition on the dial. What would be the simplist way to accomplish this? I am a beginner with Actionscript, and I've tried all I know to do
