ActionScript 2.0 :: From Buttons Playing 2 Movies That Display Text

May 13, 2010

I am creating a website that teaches kids about the about the brain and I am creating a website very familiar to this one, [URL]. I created one flash file and drew the background for where the text will display. Next I created several movie clips for each of the brain parts and I placed an invisible button over each of these movies, e.g., I told the button, "cerebellum_button" to play the movie "cerebellum_mc." which includs text.

I feel that my code is redundant because I am having to create an invisible button for each animated movie clip which plays a movie clips with text. Is there a way that I can centralize all of the text in the project then call it from different buttons? My aim is to have the user roll over the brain part, have it animate, and have it display the text that explains what that brain part does.

cerebellum_button.onRollOver = function(){
cerebellum_mc.gotoAndStop("turnon");
} cerebellum_button.onRollOut = function(){
cerebellum_mc.gotoAndStop("turnoff");

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Buttons - Onclick Display Text

Oct 6, 2010

I have a total of 5 separate buttons in my flash document. I want to have a user to be able to click the button and have it display some sort of text near the button itself. How do I get the text to stay once a button is clicked and disappear when another button is clicked? I dont want to use the hit method because the text will contain hyperlinks that I want the user to be able to click on.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Playing 15 Movies (SWF Files) One After Another

Jul 13, 2009

I have 15 movie clips that play one at a time. When the first one calls the second movie clip there is a short space (black screen) between the two which I have to eliminate. I tried loading the second one half way thru the first movie then tell it to play when the first movie is over, but when I do that you can see a disturbance in the first movies performance when the second one is pre-loaded. Is there a way around this so I can make 15 movies run seamlessly? They are separate .swf files!

ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloading Movies And Playing Them Later?

Apr 26, 2005

apologies if this seems like a redundant question... i've been reading through all the turorials and forum threads i can find, and am just confused at to what exactly i need to do next.... my first time trying to use preloaders but am finding i need them in order to make my project run smoothly.... my situation: want to preload 5 swf files into my main movie, and have them at the ready to play when i want them to (either by an onEnterFrame or onPress).

i started working with some preload array script from Scotty i found on one of the threads, but elsewhere i've seen info about putting extra frames into the uploading swfs and am unsure what i need to do with this or how it would fit in with the below code. right now, when i try to play one of the uploaded swf files nothing is happening, and i'm guess my code is wrong there too, but don't know what to put....

ActionScript 2.0 :: OnPress : Tracing, But Movies Not Playing?

Jul 2, 2007

Here is one of those problems that seems like it should work because it is soo basic in implemintation, but just doesn't....The trace in this code works, but the mcs that I want to play just wont move. I have a stop action on its own keyframe within each movie on frame 1. If I take the stop action out all the mcs will play/loop just fine.All of the code is on an actions layer, then each mc is within its respective container. I even put a test mc on the main level and it doesn't work.This is one of the instances where, teaching yourself flash is great because you learn exactly what you are interested in, however because of the lack of structured or formal training, the basics often escape you.

EDIT : Oh, and because I can usually solve something by tracing everything out...in this case trace has failed to shed light on theissue,

[code]
this.buttonContainer.btnSelect.onPress = select;
function select() {
this.textContainer.textMask.gotoAndPlay(2);[code].....

Flex :: Display Flash Movies Inside Application And Interact With Them?

Feb 11, 2010

Since I've never done this and the google results are quite random, I ask here: Is it possible to display Flash movies inside a Flex application and interact with them?

The scenario is as follows:

I'm developing a new application in flex Another, already completed application is given to me as SWF (or perhaps SWC, don't know any details yet) I have to insert this second application inside in my Flex application, which should be no problem afair I have to interact with this application: send and retrieve data. Don't know any further details here, too.

Will this be possible? Or is Flex only capable of displaying the SWF without the possibility to interact with it? I hope you can understand, what I want (have to...) do.

I would like to press "button1", have the mc play (as it is doing). Then press "button 2", and have "button 1's" mc go in reverse OR play out as if it has left the stage. Not just suddenly vanish. There will be multiple buttons, not just the 2.

ActionScript 2.0 :: LoadMovie - Buttons Won't Load The Movies

Nov 8, 2003

I am working with Flash MX. I am creating a site with a Main.fla which contains buttons to load other SubPage.swf files. For example, I have a Page1 button with the following actionscript code.

on (release) {
_root.contents.loadMovie("page1.swf");
}

It works fine. Now when I work on the Page1.fla, I am trying to load other Movies in the same fashion. It works when I CMD+RETURN to generate the .swf file. However when I CMD+RETURN the Main.fla file and load the Page1 file, the buttons won't load the movies. Is this a Target Path issue? How would I remedy this?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Array For Naming Buttons And Loading Movies

Nov 30, 2010

I've got about 50 buttons onstage with names like btn1a_mc, btn2B_mc, etc. Each one loads an external swf (called "Monosem1Aslideshow.swf", where the "1A" corresponds to the button name.) into a movieclip holder called slideHolder_mc. I'm trying to use an array instead of writing code for each button. I'm using the following:

Code:
buttonNumber = ["1A", "2B", "3C", "4D", "1E", "2F", "3G"];
for(i=0; i<buttonNumber.length; i++){
var btnName:String = "btn"+[i]+"_mc";

[Code].....

But I can't seem to get it to work.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Scripting External Movies To Buttons In Main Movie?

I'm building an entirely flash based website using Flash CS3 and ActionScript 2. I'm using external movies for the various pages, and putting buttons that control these movies in the main movie file. Normally, I'd simply put the script to control the buttons on the main movie file, not the external ones, but because there's more than two different pages and I'm fading each external clip in and out, I'm wondering if possible to put the script, for the buttons on the main movie, on the external movies.
