ActionScript 2.0 :: Make A Simple Dynamic Button In MX 2004?
Feb 8, 2005
I am working on a project that involves basic buttons in flash. They have 2 functions. One is to go to a url and the other is to execute a movie clip within the flash movie.
I dont want my developers to open flash to code the page links (i.e. contact.html). Is there a way to just add a variable of some kind in the GetURL() and have it pull from an .xml file? It can be very basic. There will be no need to dynamically add more buttons, just simply change link names on the fly.

I want to make a simple script that will add a value to a dynamic text box by pressing F1 through F4. But I want it simple, I don't have time to learn a bunch of stuff. So I want...
on (keyPress "<F1>") {
test = "test"; }
But of course F1 is an invalid key and won't work. Want I want to know is if I can write something like this that will do the same function; yet still simple.

I want to create Flash button that I can use for a dynamic menu.
To do this I have create a new symbol in my Flash project as a button. My button has 2 layers: * one layer with the graphics for the diffrent states (up, down, over, clic) * one layer with a dynamic text control
A have assign a variable name to the dynamic text (menuCaption).
When I put the button on my main scenario, I can change the caption of my menu item with: menuCaption = "some text";
Now I want to add many items to my menu barre, but all items a modified when I assign menuCaption to a value
What do I do wrong? What must I do to be able to assign each item separatly like <item_name>.menuCaption ="some text" ?

I have created a button symbol in the library that includes adynamic text instance called labelTxt. I've then dragged this ontothe stage to form several buttons called "btn1", "btn2" etc.I want to be able to change the contents of the text on thebuttons dynamically, but I am getting quite a few errors whiletrying to set the text.I have tried using (for example)btn1.labelTxt.text=myString but am getting errors saying that the property isn't defined.uote:1119: Access of possibly undefined property labelTxt througha reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton.would skin a Button and use that but there are 3 quitedifferent styles (skins) of buttons on this particular chart, andI'm not sure how to do that with Buttons. And I keep thinking theremust be some easy way to access the labelTxt dynamic text in thebuttons I have created.

I wanted to conduct a simple experiment, where I update a dynamic text field on the click of a button. Well, it throws no errors, but it doesn't work, and I can't figure out where I went wrong.
Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var currentText:Number;

I'm trying to make a simple flash mp3 player with a play/pause toggle button called toggle_btn. The button is actually a MovieClip with two buttons inside it: play_btn and pause_btn, which live in different places on the MovieClip's timeline. That all works fine, and when I press the play/pause button for the first time, my music plays as expected.
However, when I press it again to pause, it keeps right on playing. If I push it again, the button gets all glitchy, and doesn't go into its rollover state when it should nor toggle when clicked.
Here's my ActionScript:
Code:
// load the playlist
var getFile:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest('songs.xml'));
var numSongs:int = 0; // number of songs in playlist -- we'll set this later
[Code]....

I'm trying to find out how to make a simple image gallery which changes image upon a mouse click on a button, when a button is pressed I want the image to slide in from the left into the viewable area and then when another image is selected I want the previous image that was viewed to remain in the screen and then the new image slide across over the top to replace the image.
I can get the images to slide across from the left upon a mouse click however I can't change the layer order so if image 6 is viewed and then I click to see image 1, the image will slide into place however it will be below image 6 so therefore not viewable.
I don't have an example of what I'm after but I hope my explanation was good enough, I've seen this been done in javascript but I have to use flash and am unable to replicate the effect I'm after

Whenever I am trying to do, the button rollover work, and put the dynamic text on top of it. The area outside the text is reacting to the rollover, but when I rollover on the text, I lost the rollover effect of the button under.The only way I have found to work around this, is to create another mc, invisible, on top and covering the button and create a script to activate the button rollover effect under... but is it the only way?
I don't have to do all this with static text, but the font react bad with rollovers or some other effects.

I'm using the tutorial from Kirupa found here: http:[rl]....What I want to do is to make a button load the script directly instead of going to a specified frame and load the actionscript from the frame. Is that possible? In this way I could have all elements on one frame, instead of having a frame for every set of images.Here's the actionscript that I want a button to load:
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;[code].....

I have created a tool where the user makes two selections (from 2 seperate comboboxes). I want the selections to be made into variables that can be concatinated when the "Go!" button is pressed, thus taking the user to the required frame. In other words: If the user selects "3-7" years in the first combobox, and "low-medium" in the second, when they click the "Go!" button, I would like them to be taken to a frame called something like "3-7low-medium" I'm sure this is possible, but so far I've drawn a blank!

I've done this dozens of time before but for some reason any new dynamic text boxes I make will not properly render the HTML in them even with the HTML control turned on.
I'm using CS3 with Actionscript 3, targeting player 9. I've tried AS 2, and different players all to no avail. I've tried embedding fonts, and not embedding fonts with no change in behavior noticed. I do want to use AS 3 (and wrote a bunch of code for it in a different file already), but even in a new empty file I'm still seeing this behavior.
I've made a real simple (one line!) file with a text box to demonstrate.

Been away from Flash for a while and struggling to relearn. Also been working more with AS3, but I am working on something that was designed using AS2(not by me).I have a dynamic text box populated by an external xml file. Works fine, however I am having hassles getting it to scroll. I only want buttons, and not a drag bar. Tried several methods I found around the forums but nothing seems to work for me.iam.theData.textBodybuttons are btn_up and btn_dwn. Both are located inside the ima clip.

I am trying to have a simple swf with a static background image that will have phrases at random locatoin slowly fade in, stay for a few seconds,and then fade out. Then the next phrase, and the next one,and then next one,until it loops arround again. The phrases are coming from a database,and I have already created my asp code to give me a page with &phrase=phrase1,phrase2,phrase3,...&status=1&. My fla file has two layers--one for the background and the other for a movie clip wich contains a dynamic text field. My first frame loads my variables, and my second frame looks to see if status equals 1 (the last variable being loaded). If status is not equal 1, I send the head back to frame 1, otherwise I split the phrases into an array, get the height and width of the swf, and init a count var to 0.
Code:
//Look for a way to test the number of times the loop back to frame 1
//has been doen so that we can set a time out. Additionally, maybe put
//logic in the system to test for a blank services?
if (_root.status == 1) {
[code]....
However, many parts of that code does not work. I broke the math stuff up so that I could see the values in debug. Anyhow, Text_Width and Text_Height are undefined, which causes Text_X and Text_Y to be calculated for positions that may put the text off screen?
