I want to create a button (or movieClip?), that wen pressed will execute the folowing code:
pagina._y = pagina._y + 10;
But I want this code to be continuously repeated until I let go (release?) the button.
Code:
_root.navigationMC.onPress = function() {
startPreload("blue.swf");
}
If I wanted to change an action from a button click to a frame-based action, what do I use instead of onPress? The hints from the AS editor are all click-based.
I have a slideshow that is looped ... it contains 5 slides.I am using a gotoandPlay action to control the slide show.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
}
There is a fade transition between slides.When a button is released ... I want to gotoandPlay (frame 98) ... and then have it stop 10 frames later on (frame 108). Frame 98 includes the transition ... if I just gotoandStop on frame 108 ... I loose the transition.Is there any way to incorporate a stop action, after a gotoandPlay action on my button ... without naming instances etc.I.E.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
STOP ON FRAME 108 INTEGRATED HERE
}
Everything I have attempted is not working.
I just want to make a simple button action using actionscript 2 but I can't get it to work! I'm sorry for even asking but I've been at this for too long now for it to not work I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 and I do the following --
File -> New Flash File (ActionScript 2.0)
Insert -> New Symbol
Name - test
Type - button
Export for ActionScript
Identifier - test
And then draw it in using the keyframes and add the code to 'Actions - Button' for my button
Code:
on(release) {
trace("trace");
}
I click on the button and it animates but no action event in the trace?
I've surfed through the Internet and can hardly find any tutorial on how to make a slideshow auto play.S3 tell me the syntax of loop play of a slideshow?
View 3 RepliesHow can I get an action to follow another action when a button is clicked? When a button is clicked, I want the timeline to go to a certain frame and play and when it's done playing, to go to another frame and play. I basically want two actions in one function.

Here is my full code
import fl.controls.*;
var test:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

Is there anyway, such that, I can use for loop to create different name button, and add it to an event listener?
At the moment I have this in Actionscript (for Flex) to create 26 labels in a BorderContainer (ID letters):

But when I click on a letter, only the letter Z is sent to the function getUsers. So when I'm creating labels from a for loop, only the eventlistener works for the last created label. How do I fix this?
The movieclip variables I create in the xml loop no longer exist after I load a picture into it. Specifically books[].url is undefined when you click the movieclip. What's going on?

I am having a problem where my buttons on main timeline are working fine. When I create a button within a movieclip layer (a page importeded from Photoshop as a movieclip) the button is not working once I leave. It doesn't show as a working button when I select Enable simple buttons, when I preview or publish as HTML. The thing is, it is a button, it has an instance name, is that weird blue color... and it works fine when I am double clicked into that movieclip layer. I also tried common library buttons and they work fine until I leave that layer as well, also tried it within other layers and creating a new file and doing it... all no success!
View 5 RepliesActionscript Code:
public function Main():void {
var my1:MovieClip = new Sp();
var my2:MovieClip = new Jp();
var my3:SimpleButton = new But();
var rel;
for (var i:Number = 0; i < 3; i++) {
rel = "my" + (i + 1);
trace(rel);
addChild(rel);
}
See the above script, Here I don't wanna add the MovieClip and button class separately using "addChild" like,
Actionscript Code:
addChild(my1);addChild(my2);addChild(my3);
So I used for loop function. But it is showing error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "my1" to flash.display.DisplayObject.
at com.priyan::Main()
at mainFile_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
Why would you create a button within a movieclip instead of just having a movieclip? Does the 2 different types give you more scripting options?

View 2 Repliesok lets say you create a button that when held down play an animation of 20 frames if realsed it goes to frame one and stops if held down it plays out this animation. for the topic lets say you have a fire animation and you want the fire to apear and if the user hold its down the animation reaches the end of the time line and loops back and plays the last 5 frames of the animation and as soon as it is let go it goes to and stops at frame one. Well i know how to make a button that when held down plays out an animation. And i know how to say when released goes to and stops at frame one. What i dont know how to do is to loop the fire at the last 5 or 6 frames so the user can hold it down all day long and play out that animation.

I am trying to create a very basic concept for a program that it based around a WIMP style interface. I have created a few moving windows using movie clips and I now want to add a button inside these movieclips that would act as an exit button, but in theory just returning to the frame before these appear. The problem I am having is that anything I create inside the movie clip is not being recognised, as clicking on it just makes the program think you want to move the window. The code I have used in my actions layer to create the moving effect is[code]...
View 6 RepliesI am attempting to use a loop to create text field with the loop's current value. The code looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i = 1; i<=10; i++) {
var 'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt':TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.x = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.y = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.text = "Hello World"
}
So essentially what it should do is create 10 text fields at 40, 40 with the text: "Hello World".
I have the scenario below. I have a movieclip on the stage (root). Inside this movieclip I have a frame with the action below:
_root.MCHappy.visible = false;
_root.MCSad.visible = false;
_root.MCNormal.visible = true;
I cant get this working with AS3. How is the correct way to do that inside a MovieClip with AS3?
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.

View 1 RepliesHow to create rectangular Box object through pure action script ?
I think, it can be done through the libary of movie clip but I am not sure. I want to take suggestion to create rectangular box through AS script
I need to have a frame action launch a .html file (call it "time-crunched.html"), and then the flash window should close. That's it. It seems like it should be easy (and it WAS easy in previous versions).
I have already tried using the gotourl feature from AS2, but I keep being told that the functionality has been disabled in the current version.

View 1 RepliesI got a "gotoURL" action within a movieclip from the main time line. So, you got the main time line, then you click on the movie clip thats on the main timeline, and within that is the gotoURL action that is linked to a movieclip within the movie clip the action is on. (Hopefully that makes sense to you.)
I have no error reports or anything. Is it possible to put a gotoURL function inside a movieclip?

View 9 RepliesI have a list of 700 words that I would like to convert to symbols in Flash for a flash card game. I'm trying to make a game where a random symbol from a slice of the array of symbols will come into game play until the user performs an action.Basically, I'm wondering how I can create an arrayed/indexed library of symbols from a dictionary, for a downloadable Flash game. Does anyone know how I could start to script this? Also, if I want to pair a 'word symbol' with its translation, do I need to use a database? Obviously, because it's a flash-card type game I'm working on, the translated symbol is just as valuable as the original-language symbol.
