I have a button which controls the horizontal movement of a movie clip and next to it I have a button, if the user clicks the button once it moves up half way and when they click it again I would like for it to move up the rest of the way.This script has been applied to the button
on (release) {
if (xpos = 0) {
trig.xposnew = -396;
[code]....
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?
[Code]...
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'm trying assign two functions to one button. The first click does a loadMovieNum to level 1. The second click will unloadMovieNum on level 1. So the first click loads a movie, the second click unloads it. Pretty basic.
I'm guessing it's a simple if statement, but I don't know how to go about it.
Anyone want to take a stab?
How do you script a Pause of X Seconds on X Frame and also on that frame have a button release statement that can take you forwards or take you backwards, elsewhere in the timeline - Without affecting the 'Pause' statement... therefore not mucking up the timeline and causing it to jump around at the end when all catches up?I take it once a pause has taken place - a button that can take you elsewhere, if clicked on - does not Cancel the initial pause and therefore lies my problem?
View 3 RepliesI have a flash movie that plays through automatically pausing on each frame for a set amount of seconds.
I used the following code to pause the movie which works 100%:
stop();
var interval:Number = setInterval(
function():Void {

But now i have several buttons on the movie as well, now what i want to happen is that when any one of the buttons is clicked it should ignore the above piece of code and not pause on the frame but stop on the frame.

View 5 Repliesi have 9 images. the one that loads in is based on the number established by the variable loopCount, which increases by 1 each time the main movie loops. Based on what value loopCount has at the time, i want a matching button to appear. For example:
loopCount has the number 5 assigned to it this time around image 5 loads in button 5 needs to load in to match. i am guessing its some simple if statement, but i am at a loss. here is my attempt at the code:

I am having a problem using an if statement in a button. What I want to do is go to a frame dependent on which frame we are already on. For example if I am on frame one and I press the button the first time it will take me to frame five, if I then press the button a second time the actionscript detects we are on frame five so goes to frame ten and so on.
ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(5);
if (currentframe == 5) {
gotoAndPlay(10);
} else if (currentframe == 10) {
gotoAndPlay(15);
} else if (currentframe == 15) {
gotoAndPlay(20);
}}
When I first press the button it takes me to frame 5, the second time I press it goes to frame 10, but when I press after that instead of going to 15 it takes me back to 5 then 10 then 5 then 10 etc and is stuck between going from 5 to 10 and back again.
I have an exam game with different categories of test, all linking to a single results page. I would like to be able to set the back button to return the user to the main page for category they were just in, in case they want to retake the test, or take another part of the test, as some are broken up into multiple parts. I imagine there must be a way to detect what test category the user came from and program an If statement that sets the back button direct them to the main test page/frame. Something like, if user comes from Test1, btnBack=mainTest1, else if Test2, btnBack=mainTest2, etc.
Clearly not the right syntax, but something along those lines in terms of function. I understand how these statements work, but I have just never written one from scratch before, or really done much of anything with them; and have no idea where to begin. At the very least, could anyone direct me to a reliable, easy to follow guide somewhere online that would point me in the right direction? I've seen some guides, but they're not always the easiest to follow, if you've never done what they're instructing you to do, before.
This is what I get in the output window:
Statement must appear within on handler
back_button.onRelease =function () {
I have this email form. Click on the bottom where it says submit track.It takes you to a form section.On that button i have an if statement, but it doesnt work.I only want the playhead to play when all 3 fields have been filled out, i thought i had it right, but i was wrong

[Code]...
I can't quite figure out the small problem with the code. It seems to just bypass the first requirement of the if statement when I do type in the proper input and go straight to the else statement.
Here is my current small piece of code I have on a given "letter" button..
on (release) { if (_root.Acheckmark._visible=true) { _root.AScore = _root.AScore+_root.APoints; } else if (_root.Bcheckmark._visible-true) { _root.BScore = _root.BScore+_root.BPoints; }}
I want to change a variable when a button is pressed. lingo: if this button is pressed then check varexample what number it has if it has a number then gotoAndPlay("example") and add 1 to varexample else, do nothing I'm sure if I get this kind of example down, I'll be able to figure the rest out by myself. =S
View 5 Replies I've been struggling with an issue for a while now and can't find a solution. I've got a series of movieclip buttons that I have going between states on ROLL_OVER, ROLL_OUT and CLICKED. It's very straightforward - except for the fact that I can't get the CLICKED function to take precedence over the ROLL_OUT and I was wondering if there was a way to make the ROLL_OUT conditional on the click. ex:
ActionScript Code:
//this is coded on a series of 5 buttons, only 1 is shown as example:
paintings2000_but.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,onPaintingsOver);
function onPaintingsOver(state)
[Code]....
So my issue is that I need the ROLL_OUT to be conditional based on whether someone has clicked the button or not; but I can't find a solution for how to do that in this context!
I need help with the 'If' statement I want it so when i click a button till the socre gets to 5 I want it to go to another frame.

I dont want to copy the code from the first into the second and the first and second into the third.
My mind isn't working and there is probably an extremelly simple way to get this working.
I know I could used functions but for some reason it stops the instance referencing working: _root["bullet"+j] doesnt work in a function.
The Flash movie contains 2 Text files, one Component button, and 1 component checkbox.The purpose of the application is to load an XML file(works)Populate 2 text fields with information from the XML file(works)Compare the two text fields, if they contain the same information then the checkbox, via AS is told to be selected. (Heres the problem);
Heres the code:
Code:
runCode_btn.onPress = function() {
data_xml = new XML();
data_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
data_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
[code]....
The idea behind this app is that its an electronic form. The user fills it out, the information is then sent to a newly created XML file, months later the open the XML file in flash, and Flash fills out text fields and check and or unchecks Checkboxes based on the XML data.CheckBoxes are mandatory.But I don't see how I'll be able to use them if i can't create and condition statements based on the loaded Data.

I am trying to load various swfs into a main swf. The initial swf loads in by default, the others load when buttons are clicked. All of the buttons also call a lengthy function called loadpic which appears later in the code - Currently the buttons load in the swfs as required, however the swfs are always behind the initial default swf. Is there a way to add removeChild to the buttons? I have tried creating seperate functions for each button and added the line removeChild(); however doing that means I would also have to repeat all of the later functions as well. If I add removeChild(); without placing it in a function the default swf doesn't show at all.

I'm sure you can put if statements inside other if statements, seriously I can't figure it out
I need to write an if statement inside an if-else statement. But no matter how I write it it keeps giving me a syntax error.The syntax error is "1083: syntax error: else is unexpected".[code]No matter how or where I place the braces, it keeps giving me errors.

to which I want it to GENERATE THE FOLLOWING CODE:

the problem is obviously that the compiler reads this code rather than understanding I'm trying to regenerate the code within the for loop...does that make sense :S? So basically I need as3 to read the code between the for statement as if it is going to echo that out later. Is this even possible?

I've created next/back buttons to navigate to various frame labels on the timeline. There is a "main menu" frame that contains menu buttons to take the user to other frame labels on the timeline. However this "main menu" frame has an FLV playing and needs to be "stopped" when navigating to another frame label. I have the code for this.
What I am inquiring about is this:Do I need to create an "if statement" in the next/back button code telling Flash that if the user clicks on the next/back button while on the "main menu" frame, to stop the FLV also?
