ActionScript 2.0 :: [MX2004] Linking Buttons To A Slideshow?
Sep 12, 2006
Note: im a beginner with AS. Im reading (yeah reading! ) the Actionscript Cookbook by Joey Lott to get better and more familiar with this language.Okay, first of all look at this linkand go to > photo > thingsWhat you get to see is a slideshow which you can browse through by hitting the Next (and / or Back button) button.Also you see "numberbuttons": 01 02 03 ..... 10 (there need to be 29 buttons since i have 29 ) that are not connected to the Next and Back button at this very moment.
My question:How can I link the numberbuttons to my slideshow AND next / back button?Say, I go to 05 by pressing the button and from there I continue viewing the photos by hitting Next: then i would like to have the square around the numbers to follow with me to 06 and so on. Quite obvious if you ask me.(to get a better idea of what i want, go here > portraits : browse the menu.. notice the moving square. and yes, this nav doesnt have a back nor next button... just an example to show what i want)Ofcourse, what i want depends on the script that ive been using. I have already tried out different codes but non of them wouldnt work proper (thats because of my lack of Actionscript knowledge). If you look at numberbutton 05 (notice .FLA below) you can see what ive been trying
I set up a slideshow using this tut' [URL] Awesome by the way, as someone who is an out and out fine/digital artist no matter how hard she tries desperately struggles with scripting, it's really cool to find tutorials like this which show me how things can be done in such a small file size and with such efficiency, I have a lot to learn. Anyhow, sorry I digress, I'll get to the point. XML seems extremely versatile and I'm going to look into it more.
I did both tutorials the one hat lets you step through (photo gallery) and the slideshow one, what I would like is to be able to pause the slideshow if I see an image I would like to look at for a while longer and start again when I am ready to move on.
i want to transfer to another scene when the player hits the enemy...but i can't transfer to that scene unless i use a button to link me to there....you know like in rpg games, when you hit the enemy there will be the fight scene....how can i do that...without using any buttons?
it's an easy question but the words may come out wrong. so I'm loading these 5 pics as buttons
[code]...
and I want to have them located one below the other plus 10 pixels gap . . . it seems so easy, but then so did opening the MX2004 packaging . . . 3 days later.
I have got a very simple flash timeline, on each frame is a different page of a book. There is four pages alltogether. I am trying to create 'next' buttons so that the user can flick through the book.
This is the code I have used:
stop(); btn_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler1); function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop(2);
This was created with frames in dreamweaver and the nav bar and index page movie are swf files. When you click on the pages in the nav bar it redirects to the index page. It does this the majority of the time and every now and again when you click it will go to the actual page.The way it is set up in dreamweaver, it has the nav movie in the top frame and the content in the bottom. All I did was change the old i.p address to the domain name because our host changed. I did nothing else and then this started not working correctly.I have checked and double checked all links in flash and they work from the swf but when it is loaded in the browser it does that weird linking to the index again. This is the code in flash to link to the pages:
Is there a way to link a button to a .SWF file and if not is there a way to import an .fla file into a new scene of a different .fla file and then link the button to that scene? I am kind of a beginner to actionscript but I know some basics and am willing to learn.
I'm having trouble figuring how to get the buttons to reference the correct imageBox and position the imageHolder. The imageHolder is a movieclip on the main stage and inside of that are a series of imageBoxes attached for each image. You can click on each image and the imageHolder will move and the images will enable and disable. If you click on a button the current image will fade but then return to 100% alpha. It's not completing the disableImages function.
You can view a swf of it HERE. Probably viewing it will be better than anything I can describe.
This is the actionscript for enabling and disabling images and for positioning the imageHolder: ActionScript Code:
function disableImages() { for (i=0; i<imageTotal; i++) { imageHolder["imageBox"+i].enabled = false;
I have created 3 invisible buttons over a graphic. Each has its own button layer and action layer. For each action layer I have used:
my_button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickHandler1); function clickHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void{ navigateToURL(new URLRequest("
[code]....
When I test the movie I see the hand icon so I know it's an invisible button, but when I click on it, it goes out of the flash play like it wants to go to a browser, but nothing happens. When I upload the files I can see the hand icon again, but nothing happens when I click on the link. I tried the changing the .html file that it is housed in to an .htm file, but that didn't work either.
I am new to this. I have followed several tutorials with noluck. I am using action code 3. I want to link an invisible buttonto an url. I placed the code in the layer with the button.Thefollowing code I have used, but then follows the error message. Ican't figure it out.1180: Call to a possibly undefined method on.1120: Access of undefined property release1180: Call to a possibly undefined method getURL.
Im making a flash program about pancakes (random I know). I have a "Mainmenu" scene and then a "Recipe" scene. I have a button on my mainmenu which takes me to the recipe page when I click it, the code behind the button is
So I run my program and the first button works and takes me to recipe page but the button to get to the main menu does nothing, click it and no response or anything
I have laid out the four pages that I wish and have created a button for each page on each page.I was told a simple stop script would stop the pages acting like a movie.I entered:
14:00PM stop(); function button1_clicked(e:MouseEvent) :void{ gotoAndStop("home");} function button2_clicked(e:MouseEvent) :void{ gotoAndStop("about");
[code]....
which I was told would accomplish this and link the buttons to the relevant pages. When I test the movie the buttons start flickering as well as the images.....
So I have 3 buttons. One button links to an animation, the second button links to a different animation, and the third one shows the links. The first button works properly, but when I click on the second button, it goes back to the animation that is shown at the first button. How do I fix this? Here is my code for the first button:
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,mou seDownHandler); function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(1, "random"); }
I have made sure that the button's instance name is button2, and that the scene name is "random".
Here is my code for the second button:
button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,mou seDownHandler); function mouseDownHandler2(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(1, "random1"); }
basically I had a situation arranged where when a button was clicked and flash would then display a certain image by jumping to a label on the timeline, and by clicking a different button a different image would be shown. this was working pretty well but for layout reasons I had to split these buttons and the timeline that they relate to up into separate movie clips. obviously the buttons dont do anything now, but what i'm hoping to find out is how I can link these items back up despite them being in separate movie clips. is this possible?
1. I have very little flash experience, but have been tasked with creating a presentation.
2. I have decided that if each slide was a movie clip, it would keep my timeline tidy.
3. In the attached fla, you will see there are 2 slides, with (green squares) for buttons. The purpose of the button in the first slide is to advance to the second movieclip in the timeline and the purpose of the button in the slide2 movie clip is to go to and play the label "start" from the first movie.
However, nothing I do seemed to work. I'm hoping someone can talk me through it so I can replicate the button functions throughout the file for multiple movieclips / 'slides'
I've attached a txt file with the URL to where the .fla can be downloaded
why my 3 pages are not being brought up when i 'ctrl enter'. I am making an online game with 3 pages - an instructions page, game screen and end game screen and do not know why my initial page is not opening.It is sending me the error message:Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.at MainClass$iinit()[code]
I am relatively new to Flash development. I have a scene that contains 3 buttons that are movie clips. I am trying to link each button to a seperate scene but no matter what script i use the buttons do not click through to the new scene.
Each scene consists of 20 frames that need to play when each button is clicked on, so rather than using gotoandstop i am trying to use gotoandplay to a specific frame within each of these scenes.
i have a movie in which i have 3 movieclips..lets call them MC1, MC2, MC3.In this movie i have 3 buttons linking to respective movieclips.but the button does not show any actionso far i have the actionscript on the button is:
It seems that my 4 buttons aren't linking correctly or something.I'm linking with labels, like this:
Code: on (release) { gotoAndPlay("intro"); }
The links go like this: Home, Photos, About Us, Contact Us.Here's what's wrong:
1.) If I click on About Us from the homepage, it goes to Photos instead.
2.) If I click on Photos while I'm on the Photos page, it goes to some unknown frame before the photos label, and stops where I don't even have a stop placed.
I made a drop down menu following the tutorial here. My problem is that the drop down buttons don't link to the respective scenes. Their rollover states work.
When I work on the drop down menu movie clip directly from the library, the button links work.[code]...
I'm currently attempting to link buttons to other frames in the movie. I've tried tutorials and just can't seem to get my code to do what I want. The issue is that the buttons are inside a movieclip, and I'm trying to link them to frames in the main movie (Scene 1).
The buttons in the flash movie also link to movie frames in the flash and external html pages. Once movie plays and stops, all links work fine, the links to the anchors and the links to the other html pages, however when I try and link back to the flash movie from an external html page, to specific frames in the flash movie, the html link will link back to flash movie frame fine, however once your back in the flash movie, none of the buttons in the movie work anymore.I have embedded the flash movie in an HTML and published it with anchors,"home, about, events etc.used this code for several buttons in the flash linking to frame anchors in the movie:
/////////////////////////// home_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, handler); function handler (event:MouseEvent):void
but for some reason i get this error when i press the check for errors button:
**Error** Symbol=About us, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances on(release) {Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1
and of curse the link isnt working when i test it. will be be happy if you help me to get forward with this problem. let me know how we get forward with it.
I'm making a simple web with 4 buttons. And I made the respective links, with gotoAndPlay in as3. Everything is working good, but when I click on the last button, the btn 4, and then want to go to the btn 3 it doesn't work. It only work, when I want to go from button 4 to 2, and 4 to 1. Why is happening this?
Here is the code: stop();btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,funcion1); function funcion1(evt:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(10);}; btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,funcion2); function funcion2(evt:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(20);}; btn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,funcion3); function funcion3(evt:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(30);}; btn4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,funcion4); function funcion4(evt:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(40);};
I'm sure all the buttons have the instance name in all frames (10;20;30;40)
i got buttons but i want to link it to the movieclips which are in the library. i cannot bring the movieclip on the stage due to the carousel is moving around on top of it.. is there anyway i can link the buttons to the movieclip?
