ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Button - If The Text Box Says "y" Then The Button Is Visible If It Says "n" Then Button Is Not?
Apr 5, 2004
im trying to do it as dynamic as possible. I have a few buttons on the main interface, and the text for the buttons are loading from a txt file on the CD. What i want to do is have a variable in the txt file "y" or "n" so that if the button is not needed then i can hide it. I have got a dynamic text box on the root, to pick up the y or n and then what i want is if the text box says "y" then the button is visible if it says "n" then button is not. Here is the code i have so far.
Code:
myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars.onLoad = function() {
//to load the text[code].....

when the video reaches 1 minute, a button appears. is there a way to hide the button again if the user uses the seek bar to go back to the 30 second (or any time before 1 minute) point?

i'm trying to use if statements but can't get this thing to work i want to check if another button is visible on release of a button to determine what action to be taken.the 'gotoAndPlay("firstscene",1)' is just there as an outcome, will be changed later. anyway this is the code i've got on the button i'm pressing. blobyellow2 is an instance of a button blobyellow is it because it's an instance that it's not working?

edit: sorry forgot to put what's wrong with the code. it acts as though the statement is correct no matter if it is or isn't.

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 simply don't know the syntax.I am attempting to make something similar to a Jeopardy board for a Christmas party at work. I have a grid of buttons that correspond to different questions. The function would be as follows: The button "eng_1" (as in "English for 100 points)is clicked.This makes the button "eng_1_q" (as in :English 100 question) visible, so the question can now be read.The button "eng_1_q" is clicked, and that button is then made invisible. The question can not be seen, now we have returned to the board.The original "eng_1" is now a different colour (or left in it's "down" state) to show that the question has already been asked (not sure if this should be part of the function of "eng_1" or "eng_1_q").My idea would be something like this.
eng_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,][code]...........
So once again, I'm just unsure of the syntax.

If I have say 7 buttons, each containing text that changes color on rollover using the "Up" "Over" and "Down" keyframes in the buttons' timeline. Is there a simple way to get the button's text to change color when clicked, stay that way, and then change back to the original color once one of the other 6 buttons are clicked?
The only thing I can come up with is writing pages of code for each button that changes the color of every other button regardless of whether it was active.

I'm designing an interface for a class, and the buttons that I am using all have multiple functions.For example, when the story button is clicked, I need the mc to stop playing and change to text (in the same window/screen, just no mc playing). The mc is 31 frames long, but if there's a way to just make it loop continuously until told not to, Currently, my code looks like this:
stop();
story_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,story);
function story(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop(32);}credits_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,credits);[code]...
When I click the button, the mc does not stop playing and the text does not show up.

I really need to make a transparent button, so it needs to just look like floating text but with button capabilities. But I was confused about a couple things: Initially I was using the "FPushButtonSymbol" but was unable to make it transparent, although I tried like this:
[Code]....
This left some shadow though So, I utlized a post from ezboard.com, which said to just make a square and then do Insert->Convert to Symbol and make it a button symbol. When I converted into a symbol, I also exported it for use with ActionScript. So I have been making instances of my new button (TermButt).... But can I still use generic button functionality like labeling, text fonts/colors, button size:

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 a Flash novice who has worked through a couple of the standard introductory books on Flash in Actionscript 3 and some of the online tutorials. However I cannot work out how to do the following: A button A (I know how to design buttons including invisible ones) is on the stage. A user clicks on this button which then causes a text to appear at another location of the stage. This text includes an invisible button B. The text tells the user to click on it with the result that the text, including the invisible button B, disappears but if the user reclicks button A then the text with button B should appear again.

I've made a flash movie which will load four movie clips at runtime. Actually, the number of movie clips will depend upon number of "NODE" in XML file. Keeping XML file thing aside, I've tried hardcoded values; 4. Let me describe you the structure very well:
There is a main empty movie clip, instance name "mc_scroll" which will be only item on stage. In this movie clip, another movie clip whose identifier name is "blueMovie" will be loaded dynamically. Inside this "blueMovie" MC, there is a button instance name is "blueButton" and inside this button there is a "Dynamic Text" field instance name is "btn_text".
Phewww.. so long chain... inshort:
mc_scroll->blueMovie->blueButton->btn_text
Now, I can load 4 or any number of "blueMovie" inside "mc_scroll". But I also want to set the button text for each button inside each MC!! I'm sure you guys are getting what I want to do. But its not working. Below is the code:
Code:
//INSIDE THE MAIN TIME LINE
for(i=0; i<4; i++)
{

Created a text box and assigned an instance name of mainText... Created a button with an instance name of mainBtn and placed an instance of the mainText textfield inside... AS2 solution --> mainBtn.mainText.text = "Some New Text"; and it WORKS!!! AS3 solution --> dunno yet...one thing's for sure, the code above doesn't work...tried a bunch of things, none work... Tried adding root, this, stage, and none of them help...Always comes up with "Access of undefined property instanceName through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton" I need to write several of these so, naming the textfield inside a button should be the most efficient way...right??? Other solutions provided involved some XML file solution...Don't even need that...Just need something simple that works.

I am using attachMovie to load my_mc which has ten frames and a stop(); on the first frame.Also in the first frame is a dynamic text box named txt2 that is filled with text and btn_mc using an xml file. The button loads into the text box at the end of the text but I can't make it gotoAndPlay(2); of the ten frames.I have tried everything I can think of to get it to work including:
txt2.btn_mc.onRelease = function () {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

I'm new to Flash Pro programming, and am trying to create a button-type symbol where I can set the label. The problems I'm running into are as follows. If I make the symbol type=Button, I can't add ActionScripts in the frames and/or access any subcomponents? Why is this so? If I make the symbol type=MovieClip, I can add ActionScript and access sub-components, but can't figure out how to make the HandCursor show up on hover?

I am in the process of developing a fully dynamic website, and I'm running into a large issue.I can generate multiple unique buttons from an asset I've got in the Library, I can assign them each their own unique text field information as well as unique text to put into another text field (which is where I"m having trouble), but for the life of me I can't figure out how to code each button to display it's unique text in that second text field! The issue I keep running into is AS3 won't save a unique eventListener for each button like it does for all of the other unique pieces, so when I go to pass any variables into it, it takes the last variable that existed instead of what I would assume would be the unique one from it's for-loop pass![code]I can also post up the .fla file if someone actually wants to take a look at it.The jewel.year_txt and jewel.info_txt will wind up coming from an XML file once I've gotten this to work.

I am making a site where each page has a 'mini menu' and when you click on each item you get different text, problem is, I am having real trouble loading my text in, I have tried loads of different tutorials and there always seems to be errors.
I also know for a fact that as soon as i actually get this working, some other error will come up when I want to make the text change (or another text box to become visible) when you click the menu item.
I have attached an image of a page from my site, hopefully someone will be able to work out what i mean from this description, there is more info as comments in my actions window.

I created a movie clip that I'm using as a button The text label on the button is determined dynamically by a variable (txtVar1) in the code. The EventListeners tell the button movie clip what frame to display acording to the mouse state. The problem is, when you mouse over the button, it "forgets" the var:String in question. It should continue to display the text from the variable ("One Bedroom") regardless what frame the button clip is currently on. I think I need a way to update or refresh this variable with each mouse movement. Also, the whole thing seems to only function once, or sporadically at bestAnother weird thing is, it's ignoring the "buttonMode = true" statement for some reason.

I am trying to link to link several buttons to a dynamic text box.I am trying to populate the dynamic text box with specific data called from an external text file by each button.
In other words:
Button 1 ---> text file1----->Dynamic Text Box
Button 2 ---> text file2----->Dynamic Text Box
I have searched everywhere, but cannot seem to find anything specific.
Does anyone know of any tutorials I could try?
