I'm struggling to get the form to to go to a new frame once the form button has been submitted. [URL]Using ActionScript 2.0 The submit button is at this following path:
Scene -> txt8 (MC) -> t8.1 (MC)
The button has the following code on:
Code:
on (release) {
share_form.loadVariables("pay_per_click.php", "POST");
}
The onClipEvent(data) is held on the movieClip txt8, as this is the clip that holds the all the form components.
Code:
onClipEvent(data){
_root.nextFrame();
}
The next from frame that i'm asking it to go to, is directly after the txt8 MovieClip. Both the the txt8 MovieClip and NextFrame have stop(); code on them.The form submits all the info into the database, I just can't get it to load the next frame.
I have a tile based game à la Scrabble where tiles are placed on the board.. during the game the tiles must all be touching, and there should be no groups of tiles anywhere else on the board..I can find single loose tiles and check for surrounding tiles easily enough but how would I go about checking if every tile is touching on a horizontal or vertical axis and if there are loose groups of tiles on the board ??
View 3 RepliesI have a small movie with a stop() on the last frame to prevent the movie from looping. On the last 10 frames or so a button appears that when clicked, goes to an external web site. The button will work until the timeline hits the last frame with the stop(), and at that point no longer works. The user is left sitting at the last frame of the movie, trying to click a button to visit another website and nothing happens.I have the button's actionscript in a separate layer starting from the same frame as the button (named buttonMBP) appears in the timeline:
Code:
buttonMBP.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, urlJump);
function urlJump(event:MouseEvent):void{
if(event.target == buttonMBP){[code]...
If I add trace commands to the function, I can see them work as I click the button when the last 10 frames are playing, but once the last frame appears with the stop(), everything goes into a dead stop. I guess the stop() stops everything and not just the timeline? I'm fairly inexperienced with AS3 (trying to learn).Is there a better way to have an active link appear on the last frame of a movie? I went with using a button because the standard text-tool doesn't support a mousehover (or not one that I could see) that would indicate that the text was an active url.
I've got a Next button with a rollover that works fine. However, when the user reaches the end of the page, the button needs to flash to let the user know they need to click it.
I set this up the way I would have in AS2, with an up state in frame 1, rollover state in frame 2 and frame 3-10 has the animation for the flashing state. In AS3, as soon as I put the animation in, the rollover no longer works and I think it's tied to my animation layer since it works if I remove that layer. I tried putting the layer under my normal button layer, thinking it's not recognizing the animation as part of the button. I tried using classic tweens and the new tweens and nothing seems to work...
I attached the file. You can see that the rollovers work, if you click the pause button, it triggers the flashing animation and then, I get the following error if I try rolling over:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at buttonRO_fla::MainTimeline/BtnIn()
and tracing the target name no longer shows the button name (as it does before you do the flash)...
I'm building a complex movie using MX2004 and ActionScript 2. Problem: I can't get text tabbing to work, no matter how closely I control the situation using tabIndex, tabEnabled and tabChildren.
While working to simplify a reproduction case, I've ended up with a movie that works, just having four Input Text TextFields hand-added to the timeline, no code involved. But, when I drag a Button from the Components window to the library, tabbing breaks. This is without even placing the Button on the timeline. Remove the Button from the library and it works again. Needless to say my project uses Buttons, and I'd rather not have to re-implement them.
Let me say it again. In a generic, timeline-based movie with no ActionScript included, tabbing works between Input Text fields. But the mere act of adding a Button instance to the library, without the Button ever appearing in the timeline, breaks tabbing. I'm flummoxed: why would something being present in the library, without any appearance in the time line (nor any Actionscript to add it), have anything to do with the movie's functionality? True, adding the Button increases the size of the published .swf from 177 bytes to 27kB, but why would it break things when I'm not even using it?
I've attached the broken movie. Open it and test it: tabbing won't work. Delete the Button from the library, test again: tabbing will work.

I have a preloader bar and percentage in my first frame.Once it has loaded, it goes to frame two.Frame two contains a "play" button that sends it to frame three, where the actual movie begins.I managed to script the preloader without a hitch.However, when I added the button script to the second frame, errors appeared in the preloader script.[code]
View 3 RepliesI want the press button to detect the last button pressed and if the shapes match, make them do something...obviously. I think I'm going at it the wrong way. I need to stick a "triange" id into the button/mc then if compares that and then if there is a match works then... right?

View 3 RepliesI'm loading in 5 jpegs from an external file using "loadMovie" and i have 5 corresponding buttons (1-5) to load them with.
I want to change the jpeg the button loads in depending whether a separate navigation button has been pressed -
i.e.
navigation buttons:
-motorbike pics
-car pics
-lorry pics
If a user clicked on "car pics" then the loading buttons 1 to 5 would load "car1.jpg", "car2.jpg" and so on...
similarly if the user clicked on "lorry pics", the same loading buttons 1 to 5 would load "lorry1.jpg" and "lorry2.jpg"

This is running on Enterframe but I want to ratate 180 degree and on button press and hold button
i have a set of buttons cranked out from and XML file. how can i emulate, in code, a press on one of those buttons? i'd like to 'press' one of them for an initial state so that the list it controls will load first off instead of waiting for the person to click it manually and THEN show the list it's connected to. thing is, the first loaded list is going to be random, so i need to 'press' what on another day/load would be a button that the user would press themselves.
in other words, i have 3 buttons. on random, i have to 'press', say button 2, to start. users can press 1 or 3 and then 2 again if they like. another time, it's button 1 that gets 'pressed' on load, etc. make sense? i have a sneaking suspicion it might be easy... or stupidly convoluted.
I have 6 button call m1-m6...ok my problem is how to disabled button when one of the button being press...and also stt.text will display crrently selected button...coz currently when I press the button it never stated and also 'stt.text ' also show nothing.

View 2 RepliesI have an HTML form that I want to upload to MySQL with PHP. That part's easy, but the thing is I want the submit button to be a Flash object. Somehow I need the Flash button to submit the form, but I think I can figure that out. The tricky part is that I need it to set another PHP variable before submitting the form. The variable will be determined by a bunch of stuff, but I can code that in actionscript later. I just need to figure out how to pass the variable back to the webpage. A $_POST variable would probably be fine.
edit: What if the flash object returned some javascript and set a variable that way? making it submit the form as well while still catching a variable?
I know how to make a button and all.. but what do I do to make it go to the next scene?
scene 1: Startsidan
scene 2: Sidan
I made a frontpage and when I click on the picture I want it to go to scene 2, where it enters the inside.
the button is called PortalenKnappen, I want to be able to just press on it and it will go to the "sidan(scene 2)" that's empty at the moment.
what would I have to write? I've tried "portalenKnappen.onPress nextScene("sidan", 1"); but it doesn't work.

View 1 RepliesI am developing a application which loads different swf's on press of a button. I am using flash.display.Loader class. This works fine in normal scenario. When the network is slow, and the user clicks on the button several times, it tries to load many swf's. This results in ambiguous results such as showing up a different swf. How do I make sure only one swf is loaded at a time?I found a method Loader.close() which closes the connection, the problem I face with that is how do I know if the load is happening. There is a property connected in URLStream, which I cannot use here since i am using display.Loader.
