I have pages of info I'm pulling from external files. I want my btn_next to not be visible when the last page loads and my btn_prev to not be visible when the first page loads. The btns are actually moviclips with instance names btn_next and btn_prev Here is my code:
//Stage Scale
Stage.scaleMode = "exactFit";
width_txt.text = Stage.width;
[code]....
-Alright so I have made a next, and a prev button. That navigate the timeline inside an mc "tabs_mc." This mc ison the the main stage.-When the next and prev buttons are pressed they goto 1 of 4 frame labels on this timeline inside tabs_mc.-When one of these lables is reached an mc "thumbs" appears on the screen / stage.-These mc's "thumbs1, thumbs2, thumbs3, and thumbs4" contain buttons that SHOULD be clickable.-But are not after the prev, and next buttons are press. They are before the next, and prev button are press, but not after.
way this is or even better how to keep these buttons enabled after the next, prev buttons are clicked?I thought of making some sort of boolean to tell the each button that is needs to stay "true" after prev, and next are pressed.But I'm a beginner so I don't know where to start.Heres the next, and prev button code:
HTML Code:
//Button Listeners
/////next_mc.buttonMode = true;

so i have some thumbnails for a gallery and im trying to make them only appear if the user has loaded a thumbnail for it. i will let the code speak...
if (_root.mainarea.six.galleries[thumbnail].blank.myBytes <= 100) {
_root.mainarea.six.galleries[thumbnail]._visible = true;
} else {
[Code]....
i cant seem to get the operator or the measuring correct. is there some glaring error in the "<=" or something ?
I have an image gallery app that has a slider to control the width of the thumbnails that ranges from 80 to 1024. As you move the slider the thumbnails width changes to effectively scaling the image between 80px and 1024px. Below the thumbnail is some information about the image such as the name, size, dimensions, etc. There is also a set of icons that do various tasks (delete, edit, copy, etc). All of this information is located within a VBox.The problem I am having is I would like to have the VBox hide when the width of the thumbnail reaches 150 px or below. This I have been able to accomplish with the following code:
<mx:VBox visible = "{thumbnail.width > 150}">The issue is that while the information within the VBox is now not visible, the real estate it takes up is not released. In other words, there is now a blank space the exact size of the VBox. What I'd like to do is to be able to release this space. I know this is probably something simple that I'm overlooking, but today my brain is just not working,
What I am trying to do I think is pretty simple.
Consider this code:
ActionScript Code:
var imageContainter:String;
var fileName:String;
[Code]....
This code appears to be working. I'm dynamically creating a bunch of movieclips that each contain an image. The also code stacks each clip on top of each other.
I'd like to be able to now set the alpha or visibility of all of those movieclips to 0 or false, except for the first one. I have other code that will set specific movieclips to display based on mouseEvents.
How do I refer to all of them? And should I be using arrays as well?
Just new to As3. I can't set visibility of movieclip inside another movieClip
ActionScript Code:
player.vidImage.visible = true;
trace(player.vidImage); // shows - [object SimpleButton]
tracing player.vidImage show [object SimpleButton]. But can't set visibility true.
VidImage is physically placed inside player MovieClip.
ive got 2 buttons setup for forwards and backwards along the timeline.ive got the prev button working only when i add a simple next button eventlistener it doesnt run right just moves frame by frame and once pressed the prev button no longer works properly.any clues on how i could implement a next button with a smooth motion the same as the prev button.
Code:
/////////////NEXT BUTTON//////////////////
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, nextOver);

I have a flash file with a MC "wmc" which contains the following script to randomize labels on load as well as for next and prev buttons to function. I used the prev/next btn scipt in a previous file but for some reason the buttons are no longer functioning in this one. I must be missing something elementary. The actual file is available via the following link (see the "workmc" MovieClip in layer "wimages"):URL...[code]
View 2 RepliesI need to create a flash photo gallery for their website. I've looked at different tutorials but all of the ones I have found only show stationary thumbnails. What I need is a gallery that shows the thumbnails with next and previous buttons, while showing the imaged that was clicked.
This is an example of what I would like. [URL]
This website gives you the option to turn on the thumbnails, I however do not want that option I just want to the thumbs on.

I have a movie which consists of 4 buttons( PLAY, PREVIOUS, NEXT and STOP)
[Code]...
These buttons work correctly and advance or reverse in sequencial order (slide1,slide2,slide3,slide4). However the movie can run from start to finish wihtout the use of the navigation. My problem is that if I let the movies run independently and then choose to use the next button while(for example) "slide3" is playing, the movie jumps to "slide1". Note that these slide labels are located within movieclip named "allunits" I know that the variable currentSlide is still equal to 1 thus returning the playhead to label "slide1".
I still can not get a basic slideshow with the either thumbnails or prev/next buttons to work. It seems that every tutorial either assumes I downloaded the correct libraries or understand when they are using AS2 or AS3.point me to a "FOOL" proof tutorial or template..I understand the basic part of what is going on but do not know enough AS yet to hammer out the actions myself.
View 1 RepliesOk here is the thing, I have the following code on my buttons.
[Code]...
This makes the button animation rewind or play depending on if the mouse is over the button. I want to have this on my buttons but I also want a different movie clip on a different layer to go to the next frame or previous frame depending on the rollover. Basically, I need to know how to add something in addition to:

What I want is "simple", That if I click the "nxt" button, it loads the next picture in the xml. And the "prv" button goes backwards. AS3 Code PHP Code:

I'm working on a dynamically resized photo gallery like everyone else and their mother. Everything works ok so far, until I try to add key detection to complement the previous and next buttons already in place. When I hit the left or right key it registers, but the picture doesn't resize the same as if I just press the prev or next buttons. It actually loads the next picture, and then resizes on the follow key hit.
PHP Code:[code]....
I want a prev / next buttons that brings the one of the carousel images to the center of the stage. Then when clicked again, it moves to the next one. I know that I have to have a code in my button release that checks the focus of the icon and brings it to the center if clicked. I have my buttons in place and everything is working great except calling the next icon over.

I have created a timeline with visibility button against each column. The timeline.swf is loaded into two empty movieclips to create a two-screen operation. Everything works fine except, I cannot for the life of me get the visibility button on the first swf to affect the visibility for the column on the second swf.

have a look here: [URL] As you can see, you can scroll through the pictures by using the "<prev" or ">next" buttons OR by clicking on the individual numbers. I made it to where the numbers change colors when you click on them individually, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to make the number corresponding to the picture change colors when you press the "<prev" or ">next" buttons! I've experimented with "if/else" statements for days now, but nothing is working. The pictures are loading from an XML file. Here's the AS on the main timeline:

I'm completely new to this forum, and would like to ask your help for one issue. I am working on an interactive flash map, I was able to set all the countries borders with the help of fireworks (awesome tool), and import them back to flash and set each country as a button. I would like to set all of the buttons to have the same properties for example : All the buttons have default red color, and will have a mouse hover frame that will change the color of the button to blue. I DO NOT want to set each button manually, because I would like to have the choice to change the mouse hover color to a different one, and would like to avoid passing each button and changing each one's mouse hover frame.
Is there a way I can built a template of a frame, and for each button set its mouse hover frame as the template frame I built ? And then if I make any changes to the template frame, all of my buttons would be automatically updated ?
I have tried repeatedly to take the examples in setChildIndex and instead of using sprites I want to control the order of 2 buttons on the stage so that when I roll over one of the buttons it comes to the top.
Here is the code I have so far which is from the example given in the on-line documentation:

If the answer is yes then a needle on a separate movie goes closer to the red(right) and if the answer is no then the needle stays where it is. This was all fine until the user ticks yes then changes their mind to no... the needle would then stay where it was rather than going backwards(towards the green) because I had set it up to not do anything if the no button was pressed initially? I was told that setting up the buttons as arrays would be the best option but on trying to learn about arrays I've become completely confused? oh additionally the amount of ticks dictate certain events that happen to the needle movie so they need to trigger events some how?

I have a movie clip, behind a mask, and I am trying to control the position it moves to, dependent on the menu button pressed.
If I am honest I am trying to copy the effect used in www.lostinbeta.com when pages are loaded.I have got everything working, but currently I do not know how to set the finishing x position depending on the button pressed.
I think the issue is becuase I am trying to use the technique to make the movement slowdown as it reaches its correct co-ordinates.

I'm currently trying to build my first flash site.I have just set up the buttons which get to each 'section' via frame labels and the AS3 gotoAndStop function.These work without error until my 'sections' contain movieclips that are referenced in my actionscript layer... Because they do not exist in 'all frames', whenever I click my buttons I get the error, "Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."It took me a while to understand and track down why I was getting this. I removed the short bit of code in my actionscripts layer that referenced the movieclips in each section (I had some custom scrollbars set up) and it worked without error.
View 2 RepliesI'm using Flash Remoting to grab a result set from a SQL Server database. Then, using the total records in the result set, I'm creating the respective number of movie clips on the stage. Each of these movie clips is an instance of the "button_mc" movie clip I have in the library, named "button_0", "button_1", ..."button_n". The library movie clip that I'm using to create the instances contains a standard Flash button.
Anyway, that part is working fine. What I want to do is dynamically generate the onRelease event handler for each of these unique buttons. When I try to do this within the for loop, it sets all the event handlers to the last item in the list. What I want to do with the event handler is change the text of a dynamic text field based on the button name.
e.g. buttonName.onRelease = function() {
myDynamicTextField.text = "button_"+i;
}
In some ways it makes sense that the event handler is always going to be the last available in the loop, as the handler is called after the loop is completed. However, I'm hoping there's a way to make the handler "stick" after the loop is completed.
I created a guestbook with an external xml file. You can enter items into the xml file. But the problem now is that al the entries are showed. Now I want to have that I can browse between the files.
That I can see the next or previous 10 entries. This is the code I used.
