ActionScript 2.0 :: Possible To Press Or Activate Onscreen Button?
Jun 22, 2004
I have a very complicated interface going on in my flash application, with tons of dependencies/variable checking/etc and it would make my life one heck of a lot easier if it was possible to simply "press" or activate an onscreen button via actionscript. I have never seen this referenced, and don't know if it's possible. Search didn't find me anything. Can you do this in some way? "Virtually" activate a button (and thereby all the button's scripting...)

How would I make a simple button that when clicked once, acts as if you'd double clicked a video file in explorer, as in it either activates your video player of choice, or plays it immediatly if it's already open.
(I know I've not worded this all that well, please say if you need me to say it more clrealy)

I was certain that in AC3 this is done by default, when the button is in focus and the ENTER key is press, it dispatches a Click event.
myButon.addEventListener("click", funClick);
function funClick(evtObj:Event):void { trace("yes");}

I have a movie clip that throws out a bunch of little stars. I then have a button (a big star) and I want the movie clip to play when the button is hovered upon. So, basically when you hover over the big star a bunch of little stars float up from behind it. I have attached my fla, and my code for the movie clip is below:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {

I have flash which contains the map of the United States. Each state is a separate button. When each state is in hover mode, it changes the look/size of that state and adds names of the cities in white on the particular state.I would actually like to add 2 things to this flash.
1) When the state is hovered over, not only will the state change, but the cities belonging to that state (in the list to the right, will highlight)
2) I would like the city names in the list, when hovered over to highlight and to activate the hover mode of that particular state. In addition, that cityName button in the list and the state button should be able to direct to a URL upon hit.
I currently have each state as a button with each state's hover mode changes.I will be changing the cityNames into buttons (they are currently MCs).Once I change the CityNames into Buttons, then modify their hover modes to look like a highlight, then I know to do the following for the URL direct:[code]One of these will go on each text cityname button. But how do I tell the button to also activate the NewYorkState_btn into hover mode?I will also need each State image button to automatically arrange to the front when they are hovered so that they will not be overlapped by other states.Also, What do I do to get each state to hover and simultaneously highlight the appropriate CityName button(s) in the list?I have included an image below (FLashMapHover.jpg) so that it is a bit more clear what I am trying to do.

I have a form saved as an html page, and at the moment my contact button launches this page in a pop up.What I would like is that so when you click my contact button, it loads the pages as a layer so it fits in more with the website and loads ontop of the flash file. For an example check out www.dobi.nu - its and html website but if you go to illustrations and click and image the page loads on top as a layer, just wanna know if it can be done with flash.

I'm trying to set a common task, wich is activate/desactivate interactivity (clickability) of a button. (sometimes clickable, sometimes not). The button is a blue bowl. I use the stopPropagation() of event metod to stop propagation, then my blue bowl is not clickable anymore. (if you erase "stopPropagation()", it becomes clickable) It works.
But I want to change this statut. I've designed a ON/OFF switcher, who set the blue bowl clickability ON/OFF. And it doesn't work. I've tried everything : removeEventListener, an "if" who write "stopPropagation()" or not, but it fails, it stay on the beggining statut. Here's the very simple .fla to show you : [URL] What should be my "ON/OFF switcher" code ?

I want the press button to detect the last button pressed and if the shapes match, make them do something...obviously. I think I'm going at it the wrong way. I need to stick a "triange" id into the button/mc then if compares that and then if there is a match works then... right?

I'm loading in 5 jpegs from an external file using "loadMovie" and i have 5 corresponding buttons (1-5) to load them with.
I want to change the jpeg the button loads in depending whether a separate navigation button has been pressed -
i.e.
navigation buttons:
-motorbike pics
-car pics
-lorry pics
If a user clicked on "car pics" then the loading buttons 1 to 5 would load "car1.jpg", "car2.jpg" and so on...
similarly if the user clicked on "lorry pics", the same loading buttons 1 to 5 would load "lorry1.jpg" and "lorry2.jpg"

i have a set of buttons cranked out from and XML file. how can i emulate, in code, a press on one of those buttons? i'd like to 'press' one of them for an initial state so that the list it controls will load first off instead of waiting for the person to click it manually and THEN show the list it's connected to. thing is, the first loaded list is going to be random, so i need to 'press' what on another day/load would be a button that the user would press themselves.
in other words, i have 3 buttons. on random, i have to 'press', say button 2, to start. users can press 1 or 3 and then 2 again if they like. another time, it's button 1 that gets 'pressed' on load, etc. make sense? i have a sneaking suspicion it might be easy... or stupidly convoluted.

I have an application that is built in flash. I am using Flash CS3. The application was built using AS2, and it is being designed for touch screens so there will be no keyboard or mouse. Certain parts of the application have text fields, so to enter text there is an on screen keyboard that pops up. The keyboard works great, but it does not have a tab key. Here is the code for some of the other special keys:
spacekey.onRelease = spacekey.onRollOut = spacekey.onDragOut = function ()
{
keyStroke(" ");

I'm trying to make an onscreen keyboard for one of the programs I wrote. With this flash program you can type Persian in any program. It uses a special kind of font. So I first mapped all the characters like:
//space
case String.fromCharCode(0x0023):
return String.fromCharCode(0x0023);
break;
[Code] .....
Now this program works perfectly when somebody actually uses the keyboard. Now I added an on screen keyboard. (buttons for each alphabet) but I don't seem to be able to somehow tell flash to type alphabet "be" for example and keep the conditions too! The text field is called "textF".

my designer made a fla file where he has animated layers loads of them. All the images inside those animations are loaded from outside the swf.
Now, the issue is at one point in time I want some of the objects to go under another object ( current their on top) . If I do this visually the images inside the swf(loaded) are lost.
