So I want to make some movie clips function as buttons to load some external swfs. I have this action script on the mc's:
on (release)
{
loadMovie("Chuck.swf", "motionmc");
}
It was working when it was a button, but now nothing happens?
Why is it that when i have button in a movie clip and that movie clip is a draggable object the button becomes inactive? How can i have both the button and the movie clip draggable and the button continue to function. below is the script i have for the draggable movie clip, which has the button contained within that:

This is a "is it possible question". I have a series of buttons that navigate within this flash file. Although the entire project has a screen movie clip on a seperate layer over top of everything. This screen contains rollover event listeners that change depending on where you move the mouse. Is it possible to have the mouse pass through the first movie clip and control the button underneath as well as the rollover event listener on top?
View 1 RepliesI have a function at frame 1 (_root). Well, i am trying to call this function from a button, inside a movie clip, but it's not successful..
View 2 RepliesI was asked to put all my actionscript in only at the main timeline, while I have lots of movie clips that acts as each page in my website. Each of them has buttons that I need to make them work without put the actionscript inside the movie clip but the main timeline.
I tried to use movieclip(parent).menu_btn.function(); which is not working
and now I'm trying to use array as a friend suggested me.
var play_buttons:Array = new Array("menu_btn", "ok_btn", "back3_btn");
stop();
//buttons for menu
[Code]....
the problem is when i clicked play button and it links to the play page,but it has an intro animation for 2-3 seconds before they reach the menu_btn that's why the error come out is that I have a null object since they execute the code b4 it comes to the menu_btn keyframe.
I really have two questions: How do I affect both a movie clip and its child movie clip in the same function? and how do I pull info from one component into a function for another? My basic setup is a movie clip of font choices, one on each frame: "bodyText_mc." Each of these frames has a child clip "bodyText_mc.bodyText" with alignment choices for the font. For instance, the user picks "Script" in the first ComboBox and then picks "Align Right" in the second. (All of this text is static because I need more design control that I can get with dynamic text.)
First of all, I have a combobox "cbBodyFont" that I use to go from frame to frame on movieclip "bodyText_mc." This works nicely:

The question is, How do you apply a function to a movie clip inside a movie clip inside a movie clip. So there are three mc and I need to apply the function to the inner most one.
Here is what I have. The 'a' is in 'spin_4' wich needs to be in 'portal'.
ActionScript Code:
for(var i = 1; i<=12; i++){
this.spin_4['a_'+i].onEnterFrame = function(){
if(this.hitTest(_level0.man)){

I have created a flash website, each button is a movie clip with an invisible button over it containing the following script
on (rollOver) {
_root.mouse_over_profile_btn = true;
}
on (rollOut) {
[Code]....
each page is also a movie clip and on release of a button its played. the problem is that when i press another button to play another movie clip 'page' the old content is still there.
Is there a way of reversing the page transition i have used to bring out the movie clip and then bring in the next movie clip.
What action script would i need to make a button in one movie clip goto and play a frame in another movie clip? Im not very good at flash but i've been trying my usual codes but it dont work..

I want to loop through a movie clip and assign a function to each of the clip's child movieclips. when i do a for...in loop and then do a typeof() trace I get "string" and obviously it won't let me assign lets say 'onRollOver' functions to the children.

I am trying to move a movie clip containing content via AS3 tween with a button outside of the movie clip. I have achieved this effect on another project by using the following code:
Actionscript Code:
var myxTween:Tween=new Tween(content_mc,"x",Regular.easeOut,content_mc.x,theXPosition,.8,true);
I set up a moveContent funtion using that tween, then used:
Actionscript Code:
content_mc.aboutBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aboutClick);function aboutClick(e:MouseEvent):void { trace("aboutClick");current_btn=e.currentTarget.name; moveContent(588,-538,"about.swf");}
to move the content. I am just wondering how to achieve the same effect but use a button on a separate layer that will be static.
I'm trying to create a movie clip on my my main timeline that has a movie clip button within it that pops up a box in the middle of the site that contains text and links. On Frame 1 I have the Up state, frame 2 the roll over state, and frame 3 my Down State (where Box appears).

The problem is that on the main time line, the button is clickable but doesnt do anything

Anyway what I need to do is have a movie clip finish playing when a button is clicked and then go to the frame label associated with the button. I hope I'm explaining myself ok. So if I had say 4 buttons Home Gallery About Contact If Contact is clicked then I want the Home page to play (Which is a fade out) and then go to Contact Page (which will fade in). Then If Gallery is clicked then I want Contact to fade out and then go to Gallery page and fade in.
View 6 RepliesI am looking for a way to fade in a white movie clip over my main movie when a button is pressed.
(i.e. When you press a button, a white rectangle will fade in over all other layers and then fade out after a couple of seconds. This is to make it look like the different pages are fading in and out without having to build the transition over and over again.)
I have two buttons that are movie clips in Flash CS4 and when button 1 is on Over stage, I want the button 2 stop movie clip at the certain frame.
View 8 RepliesI have a MC, which i would like to act as a button, controlled by AS. So,inside the MC is a simple animation (the button just goes left for ten frames (preferred rollOver action) and then back for another ten (preferred rollOut action).On the MC actions I put:
on (rollOver) {
this.useHandCursor;
this.gotoAndPlay(1);[code].......
What happens is the following: on mouse over the mc goes left, on mouse out the mc goes back to its original place.It works exactly as it is supposed to. Exactly until you try again... if you move the mouse away from the mc (onRollOut), before the animation reaches the end, it goes bezerk.what happens and also how the animation can be done using only AS (with some for loop or function or something and chaning _x property)?
I'm trying to make a flash website that has clickable buttons that will play different movie clips. But I dont know how to make it to just play the movie clip with the button you click without playing all the movie clips on the main timeline.

View 1 RepliesI have a movice clip of a container "traveling" down a conveyor belt. I duplicate this movie 30 times (to simulate 30 items moving down the line). The code I'm trying is below.My problem. When the 2 duplicate clip item is created - I want to pause the duplication, (stopping items on the conveyor belt) play a movie clip (next to second item to explain what has happened), then continue duplication, stop duplication again at eighth item, (do similar to #2) play another movie clip - then continue all duplication until I hit 30. At which point they all start falling off the conveyor belt.
// NOTE, this is a movie clip, not on the main timeline...so all control needs to happen in this movie clip's timeline
delay = 1
count = 0
i = 0
[code]....
I have the following functions that fade a movie clip in and out
Code:
fadeAmount = 1;
function fadeIn() {
this._alpha += fadeAmount;
if (this._alpha>=100) {
this._alpha = 100;
this.onEnterFrame = null;
[Code] .....
And then I call the movie clip to start fading in and appear on stage
Code:
contentMC._alpha = 0;
contentMC.onEnterFrame = fadeIn;
What I need is some way to tell the movie "after you reach alpha 100, stay there for x seconds and then fade out" and execute this code:
Code:
contentMC._alpha = 100;
contentMC.onEnterFrame = fadeOut;Aafter it reaches alpha = 0 it should stop and stay there without looping back and starting to fade in again.
I'm trying to use a movie clip's function from a fellow movie clip 2 children up and I can't find the right code. I've used:
MovieClip(datalist.getChildByName("content")).onpauseButton();
MovieClip(datalist.root.root.root).onpauseButton();
MovieClip(datalist.scrollb.content).onpauseButton();
MovieClip.(datalist.onpauseButton);
and none of them work. The function is "onpauseButton" and it is inside of "content" which is inside of "scrollb" which is inside of "datalist." I'm trying to call it from datalist's neighboring movie clip so that it activates along with another function:
manualButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToLoadFile_1);
function fl_ClickToLoadFile_1(event:MouseEvent):void{ navigateToURL(new URLRequest("M-23 6263.pdf"), "_blank");// want to add the onpauseButton code here
}
I recall that there is a way to do it, I just can't find the right sequence. Everything online is about how to call up to a function outside of the movie clip and not down to a function inside of one.
i have about 40 buttons in one movie clip called showmcall i have a massive movie clip that covers all of the movie clips , i've tried disabling the buttons by disabling the movie clip :
ActionScript Code:
showmcall.enabled = false ;
but that didnt disable the buttons.
