ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Link Attributes To Button And Also Attach To Press Clip
Feb 17, 2008
I've got an XML document that holds the info for a Press section I'm doing for a client. The XML holds the path to a thumbnail, the headline text and a link to the original article. I'm having no problem getting the thumbnails to load in and the headline was a breeze too. Put them both in holders so I could position them later. My trouble comes when I try to pass the link attributes to a button that also gets attached to each press clipping. I can trace out the link array that I create to hold my XML data but when I try to pass it to a getURL function inside a button in the same For loop "i" is never passed.
Code:
var yPos:Number = 0;
var xPos:Number = 0;
var spacer:Number = 6;
var imgPathArr:Array = new Array();
var headlineArr:Array = new Array();
var linkArr:Array = new Array();

I have 2 swfs, one image loader which I built a while ago and will eventually update to AS3 and a newer swf I built in AS3. I want to be able to 'pull' a variable from the AS2 swf when a button on the AS3 swf is pressed. How might i be able to do this. LocalConnection wont do it I dont think - i cant load the AS2 swf into the AS3 swf and obviously cant do the reverse though this would be the way to do it if it were possible. So when a button in the AS3 swf is pressed I want to call the AS2 swf and return a variable from the AS2 swf (the filename of the current image). Would both swfs sharing ExternalInterface work?
I am looking to have a button respond to both the Page Up button and the right arrow button.Basically we have a slideshow that we want the user to be able to either click on the button itself, hit the right arrow on the keyboard or use a handheld presentation clicker.I know you can't have two on (keyPress) events, but I wasn't sure what the work around for it was. I don't want to get into having multiple buttons with the same code if that is possible.
If I have 5 links when you are on link 1 and want to go to link 2 can I make it so when you click link 1 it tells it to play a set animation e.g. Movie1 then load link 2 section. But say you on link 1 and want to go to link 3 can you make it play Movie1 then go to link 3. Basically ever time you press a button it plays a set animation first before it goes to that link.
Im making a flash game. And Need to have a menu (sized based on what they click, small medium large) referenced from a movieclip, and variables passed to it. Im using CS4/AS2. Is there a function i can put on my button to create a movie clip at a location?
i'm trying to write the code for a flash animation which uses different movie clips and buttons.all the movie clips are in the same layer but i've written code to make all but one invisible when the animation loads.
i've then got buttons which are supposed to make the movie clips visible, but then disapear again after the clip has played.i want to be able to press one button to have one clip start playing, but then i want to be able to press another button which stops that movie clip and starts a new one playing.this is what i came up with but it doesn't work
on (press) { violin.stop(); harmonica.stop();[code]....
this script is from one of the buttons which is supposed to start the movieclip harmonica and stop violin playing.i've got the same code for violin but the other way round.when i press a button it works fine and plays the clip which then disapears (leaving a default clip which plays all the time visible) but pressing buttons to interrupt the clip and play another one don't work properly. the movie clips don't stop and reset when they are interupted. they kind of pause instead. when i go to play a clip that has previously been interrupted it starts from where it has been paused and not from the beginning
I have two arrows that control an animated movie clip that has words scrolling vertically. When you click on one arrow it plays the movieclip forward, and when you click on the other arrow it plays the movieclip backward. I want you to have to keep clicking on the forward arrow to have it continue animating through the different words. I've place stop actions at the points I want the movieclip to stop animating but when you click the forward or backword button it never stops and just plays through the whole thing. [URL]
I would like to create an image sliding effect using next and previous buttons. For example the sliding images on the homepage here: http:[url]....I know this is not in flash, but that's the effect I'm trying to create using flash.
I followed the help quoted below. However, when I press the Previous button to rewind the timeline, the movie clip does not stop. For example, if I am on image 3 in the slider and press the previous button...instead of going to image 2, it slides all the way back to image 1 without stopping.
Quote: ActionScript 2:Notice how, in the link to the example, all of the images/slides are the same size. Create a few of those before you begin.
1. Convert each image/slide to it's own Movie Clip, so that you can go always go back and adjust them if needed....as well as other useful reasons.
2. You only need 2 layers for now, Actions & Container. On frame1, add a stop action to the frame on your actions layer. Then, place all of your Movie Clips on the stage, on the Container layer. Line them up horizontally, edge-to-edge. Select them all and convert to a Movie Clip named "container".
3. On the Container layer, Insert A Keyframe > move the Container Movie Clip to the left so that the next slide is now in place on the stage > Right click in between the two Keyframes and choose "Create Motion Tween". You should have the animation from slide 1 to slide 2 now. Repeat this process for 2 -3, 3-4, 4-5 ......(don't worry about the reverse!)
4. We need to create buttons to go to the next and previous slide. Make a new layer called Buttons. Create 2 buttons, one for Next and one for Previous. These can be Movie Clips OR Buttons, just place them on the stage give one an instance name of "next_btn" & "prev_btn" (no quotes) for the other.
5. All that's left is to add some actions to a few frames on the Actions layer.
a) Add a stop action to every frame where the slide will be static (still), you should already have one on the first frame from step 2.
b) Now here's where the magic happens. If we test the movie now, the slides will just play and over. So add this code to the frame 1 on the Actions layer:
Code: stop();//already have this stop action, just add the below this.onEnterFrame = function(){[code]....
I have a interactive movie clip with buttons. The problem I have with my movie clip is that whilst the movie is playing and I click the forebtn, it stops the movie. Ideally I would like the movie clip to start playing straight away when I press the fore button.
I just saw a flv player that was done in AS2.I wanted to know whether it's possible or not and how I could pass the needed flashvars, params and attributes to the flv player (swf file) once I load this flv player in a movie clip with the method loadclip.
I would like to know if it is possible to pass a clip event on to both the function that has a listener, and to the button that is being pressed. I am finding the listener takes it and thus the button doesn't see it.I found a walk around, however, I'd like to know if it is possible say for one clip event to be seen by both objects?For example, with the mouse over a button the listener function detects the event and carries itself out, however, the button misses the event now.
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,
Scenario : 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 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.
