I want to link this movie clip button I have in my flash header to go to an external site when clicked. I've tried EVERY combo, and watched every video....I'm exhausted. The code sitting in the actions on the movie clip seems like it all needs to stay there except for a link= part...so what do i add to it?
the code there now to start w/o the link part:
onClipEvent (load) {
num = 3;
this.hitArea = this.area;
}
- i have 3 separate movie clips (a,b,c)
- my main movie is (a) and when i click a button there, it will go to external movie (b)
- under external movie (b) there's a movie clip that includes my animation and content button
- if i click on the content button on movie (b), external movie (c) will pop up [ it will not replace movie (b) but will just overlap it, it's like a small pop up ]
i did the actionscript and when i'm testing external movie (b), it's working... it's showing/popping up movie (c) but when i tried it on the main movie (a), the movie (c) is not popping on the (b) err, sorry if it's a bit confusing / how i explained it. but hopefully somebody will get the idea. and it won't also return on the main movie (a) when i click on a link from the external movie.
At the moment I have a project where I have a map with different buttons for different sections. When I rollover the buttons, I want brief information for that section to appear in another movie clip.
So the way I have it set up is as follows:
Movie clip one: map_mc is placed on main time line
Button: button_btn placed on map_mc timeline
Movie clip two: textbox_mc is placed on main time line
map_mc has a button named button1_btn placed on its time line.
Upon rollover, I want button1_btn to change the content in textbox_mc by going to frame 1 of text_box mc's time line.
At the moment I have this code on the map_mc timeline for the button. I brake the map when I preview it so I'm pretty sure I'm going about it the wrong way.[code]...
I want to link from a movie clip to a url but I want to make it load the url in the same window...The code I have already opens a new indow every time. It is as follows:
var link:URLRequest = new URLRequest("/index.php");
thingy.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, homeboy);
function homeboy(e:MouseEvent):void
{
navigateToURL(link)
}
I want to link a button to a movie clip, but it will not play. Here is how it is set up. On my main scene on second layer on frame 2, I have a movie called homeContent within which I have another movie called pdbutton within which I have another movie called pdrbt. This movie called pdrbt needs to play a movie on the main scene on layer content on frame 3 movie called streetSidemc_mc. Here is my code,

I need to be able to click text in my movie and have it take me to a website.Right now the text is just a movie clip and it slides in from the right.
View 1 RepliesScenario : Scrolling textbox with buttons and header text
I currently have a button - that when i click it - i ideally want it to jump to a text header in the scrolling text box - i seemed to be stumped trying to code the button.
I was thinking about making the headers of the texts, a movie clip and linking the button to the movie clip - i tried a goToAndPlay - but i'm not sure if thats a correct command to use (cause it doesnt work ).
I know this is novice, but how can I add links to movie clip buttons?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to get a movie clip to automatically load up another external clip, after playing an embedded flv.
This is what I've tried so far:
var holdFrame = setInterval( holdFrame, 5000);
gotoAndPlay(
_root.mc_holder.loadMovie("swf/library.swf"));
clearInterval (holdFrame);
Although it throws no errors, the setInterval is ignored and it just loads direct into the next mc clip.
I saved as swf & got this error msg in the compiler errors: Symbol=but1,layer 4, frame=1 Mouse events are only for button instancesIn the library I checked the properties of the button and its a movies clip, I'm not sure if it will make any difference if I change to button or graphic?I would like to upload the fla and swf files but this forum doesn't seem to allow me to attach files to messages.

I have it where the links in the header load an external swf for the content. What I want to be able to do is link to another page from within the external swf. As in, when you click a link it loads in the current frame, keeping the header.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make a program for an e-commerce project I'm involved in that will allow our users to listen to sample clips from a given CD. I've listed all the tracks in an array called trackList. Here's the code to play a given track from that array:
function playTrack(event:MouseEvent):void{
switch(event.currentTarget.name){
case "track01":[code]....
The event target that I've bolded is the given movie clip button that the user has clicked; at frame two, the button turns yellow. When the clip is finished, the button should return to frame 1, but I can't get that to happen.
I suspect I need to put the event listener to make the button's color change back on the sound channel (sndChan), but I don't know how I could write that function so that it will apply to which ever button happens to be active.

I am trying to use the following AS inside the movie clip from where i want to go to the other frame labeled as advt_sms but i am not able to go to that page[code]...
On one of the pages, i've posted 6 pictures, and make them buttons. And when i click on them, i want to pop up a player with a FLV video clip. FLV video clips that are located on my hard drive and in the root directory of the site. I didn't want to use one of CS3 players, so i have embedded a flvplayer (JW, i think).And, for two days, i search the forums for the AS3 code to make this work, and no luck. And here, i observed that the users get help. Probably it's easy enough for AS3 users, so nobody have problems with this, and for that reason i didn't find posts with this problem. However, if that doesn't work with an external player, i'll do it with whatever player you say.
View 2 RepliesI'm still a rookie in flash and I'm having a little bit of trouble with some actionscript. I've gotten as far as placing the buttons and assign the correct actionscript for them to work. Everything is working fine with the buttons activating the external .swf into a blank movie clip in the main movie. Ony thing is, I would like the external movie assigned to the first button to open once the movie is loaded.
I thought by using the same actionscript i used on the button {and removing the on(release) tag} and placing on the first frame of the main movie would help, but it doesn't.
I have a menu bar that has 2 Drop down menus. Each drop down is a separate movie clip, with 3 buttons inside that are separate movie clips. I have a class set to the buttons that are movie clips for a roll over effect. But when I mouse over it does not work. Also on the main time line I tried to add a like to a web page but it did not work. But I only have this problem with the movie clips that are inside the drop down movie clips.
Why is this? How do I add roll over actions and external links to movie clips that are inside of another movie clip? I really need some help this is a problem I have been having for about a month or more. I am still a AS3 newb and this is my first time using classes. The other classes I have work with everything else, Im just having trouble with the movie clips that are inside movie clips.

I would like to set height after I load an external movie into a movie clip.
For example,
this.body_mc.loadMovie("body_about.swf");
_root._height = this.body_mc._height;
I always get height as 0, because body_mc is an empty movieClip.
how to access the body_about.swf height as soon as loaded the movie into the empty movie clip?
I'm working from main.swf and I need to call another swf to display one of four flvs once the appropriate button is clicked.

I am trying to load an external swf into a movie clip.Within my index.swf file I have a button that when released loads another swf into a movie clip within the index.swf. I have done this before and have no idea why it is not working. When I publish the movie I get no error reports.Here is the script:
on (release) {
_parent._parent._parent.contents.loadMovie("apache .swf");
}
All swf files are within the same folder on the server as well.
This used to be so easy in AS1 and AS2, but since I haven't been using Flash in 2 years now. looks like time ran over me - and it looks like it'd take me a while before I figure this out in AS3. So, what I want to do is to call external swf into another movie clip and my stage is set like this.
In main timeline I have two layers:first is (center_mc) and contains movie clip "center_mc" which is positioned in the middle of stage and in the second layer (mbottom_mc) is movie clip "mbottom_mc" that will contain buttons as "menubtn01". So what I Want to do is when I click on this "menubtn01" to call external swf into THAT movie "center_mc". So to clear the external swf that "center_mc" is showing with the new.
