ActionScript 2.0 :: Tab Menu - Changing Initial State Of Buttons
Jul 1, 2009
I am creating a tab menu interface with 3 buttons. I have got them working to where on the clicked state the button goes the rollover frame in the animation and freezes until the user clicks on another button tab. What I can't figure out is how to get the first button to load in the "rollover" state so it looks like the first tab is selected already. Attached is the fla file. In the main movie as I tried setting btn1 to the stop on frame 25 with:
btn1.gotoAndStop (25);
This works initially but when you click on the other buttons the btn1 stays in the selected state.

I've set-up a menu using the actionscript below tracking bt up / down states (credit - thanx Barn:[URL]..
But I'd like to adapt the script to have the home button (mvcBtn0) initially set by default to the down state - and then revert to the up state as soon as another button is pressed.
I've tried various adaptions sending the clip to down state on load and then the up state once another button is clicked - but none are working.

I am creating a very basic menu. My project consists of a main file that then calls other swf's to fill in the rest of the content. My main timeline is this. There is an preloader which hasn't been built yet, a intro section that is two movie clips (one loads the layout, one fades in my buttons). Then when all this loads, I load the first swf. My difficulty is that I am trying to get my buttons, which are held in mc_buttons, to change the variable myLoader on the main timeline. So when you click on a button, it swaps in a different swf for the current loaded one. I have tried calling the following code attached below.
My error is:
"1119: Access of possibly undefined property myLoader through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObjectContainer."
Now, if I define the myLoader variable in the mc_buttons and do an addchild() there, I get the correct content, it just is on top of the old content which isn't what I want...

I have 20 buttons (mc's). I want to be able to select one and have it stay in the down state until another is pressed. Frame 1 is "up" frame 2 is "down". I have an array of the buttons(mc's). This piece of code works but doesn't return the button to the up state when another is selected.
function changeButtonState(a){
var i = 0;
for (i=0;i<=19;i++){
if(a=="S"){_level0.sb[b].gotoAndStop(2);isw = 1;}
}}
The array of buttons is called "sb".

But when I change the state to 'state2', it doesn't actually change anything.

I'm learning how to use flash CS5.5 and i'm unable to continue a lesson because my button editing seems to not work properly. -When i double click or right click and click edit on my button I go into the symbol edit screen, where i can see the basic button states "Up, Over, Down, & Hit" but when I try to change the appearence of the button in each state the color and any sort of editing done to it does not happen, it is red in the "up" keyframe and when i try to change it to gray in the "over" keyframe it stays red.
-I found that double clicking the button in the edit screen goes into another edit screen labled "symbol 1" and in there i can change the color of the button, but any edits in that screen remain ineffectuall to the actuall button on the main screen. I don't know what is wrong with it, or if I am missing something, i've tried in both action script 2 and 3 and both have the same results.

I'm trying to stop a toggle button from changing state when clicked, based on some conditions, but I'm not sure how to do it.
I don't want to disable the button, because flex 3 styles don't allow me to get the visual effect I need.
EDIT:
I've tried this but it does not work:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute"
creationComplete="_init()"

I have a Flex TileList with an itemRenderer made by me. The list loads the content perfectly and renders it. Renderer is a simple canvas element with a checkbox and another canvas with some labels with data. I implemented a method that, on TileList
itemClick="clickedItemHandler(event)",
Changes the state of the checkbox (if checked -> uncheck, and vice versa).
The method works if I click on any place of the item, EXCEPT the checkbox. When I click the checkbox, it doesn't change state. Maybe I was changing the state of the checkbox, and the event changing it back, but I debugged it and it doesn't look like so..

I am using flashvars in my OBJECT and EMBED tags like so:[code]Each layer after that contains an instance (in this example, the instance is named "availability", which is the text of the button), that instance contains the button in an off state and and on state, and the on state contains the instance "availability_anim". In the movie clip this instance represents, there is a frame labeled "a_set".The idea is that if once goes to availability.php?section=a_set, it should display the rollover state of the button exactly at the label, a_set, but it doesn't.

Here is the code on my buttons, which work fine.[code]....
How do I setup these buttons so that when button1 is clicked, and the button1 page is loaded, that the button stays in 'Over' state?
And just to elaborate, when button2 is clicked and loaded, I want button2 to be in 'Over' state while button1 goes back to normal.
So basically, how do I highlight the active menu item with my 'Over' state?

Ive got a simple menu that upon hover of each item, plays a movie clip, then on mouse_out it plays the movie clip in reverse. What I'm trying to do is to have a third state (active) that is shown upon clicking. I'm thinking I need to do something along the lines of:
-When clicked, gotoAndStop(5) //Five being the location of my active frame
-Also remove the event listener that triggers the function to play the movie in reverse.
-Then when another menu item is clicked, re-add the event listener to the previous menu item so it's not stuck 'active'
My code is as follows:
// Imports
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;

well i want to make buttons that on rollover move to left, on rollout move back to their initial position, and if clicked, they but stay this time at the final rollover place, and be there until something else is clicked. When something else is clicked, the previous button , returns to its initial place. So i ve got it all figured out except for the freeze and move part when the buttons are clicked. All it does now , is when they are clicked they freeze at the position i want, but i havent got a clue how to update them, after so they start moving back, and reacting on rollover and rollout, when the next button is clicked.

I need a tutorial for a hierarchical drop down menu system that drops down 3 sub levels. Do I make the items in the sub menus individual buttons and then insert them into a movie clip or make every sub menu item a movie clip and insert them into buttons?

I am looking at creating a menu with three movieclip buttons on a main menu. I want to keep these buttons on the top of the screen at all times. I am opening different swf's and I want to make sure that the buttons are still showing. I know there is something with changing or swapping the depth of the movie clip when it loads the new swf's in, but I have not found anything that is seeming to work.

I made a Flash menu with this tutorial:[URL]The animation is different but the scripting is basically the same. I have animated buttons (They're actually movie clips though) that play one animation on rollover, and a different animation on rollout.
What I want to do, is have the button stay on the over state if it's clicked, (so people know what page they're on) until another button is clicked in which case it would do the rollout animation, and then the new button would stay clicked.
[URL]
But the scripting is different I'm not sure how to make it work with what I already have, and I don't really want to start over completely.

I have designed an interface and on one of the pages there are thumbnails of book covers which you rollover each cover and on the "up and down" states ive included the blurb which has some details about that articular book. However not all books appear correctly, the blurbs go behind the other book covers. All the books covers are placed on a single keyfame in the timeline, i have tried it on separate layers as well but got the same result. above the screenshot of the problem: Ive tried many ways to fix it and each time it is the same.

when a user rolls over a button, the button plays the "open" frame inside the button. When the user rolls off the button, the button plays the "close" frame of the button. When a user presses the button, the button goes to the "dock" frame of the button. Here's the problem : when a user clicks a button, all the other buttons go to their "close" frame when only the button that's previously open when the user clicks a differen button should go to the "close" frame.
More emphatically, a function is needed to check to see if any buttons are in the open state (not a frame 1) when a user clicks a buttons. The way the code is now, when a user clicks a button, all the other buttons go to their "close" frame when only the button that was open should go to their "close" frame. Thus, if any button is not open when a user clicks any button, then, that button shouldn't do anything.

I have a flash site which is going to have a concertina menu and various other features. I need to know if the menu is active or inactive so am using a Global variables class to do this. I have a couple of questions.(i) is this a legitimate technique, to have globals to store and share the state of the menu between all my classes(active or inactive)(ii) What should (if anything) the globals class extend?Also I create my global like this
package
{
public class MyGlobal
{
public var test:String;

I already made some buttons that I was planning on using as a menu for difficulty, easy,medium, hard. The buttons are already made with all the states and graphics, so I wanted to add an event listener so that when you click a button for example easy, if the medium button was at its hit state I would revert it back to up, eg:easyButton.addEventListenere(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(e:event) { mediumButton.gotoAndStop("up") or mediumButton.up
but then I realized there is no propertie or function in the simpleButton class to change the state of the button, I know I can make a movieclip, and do gotoAndStop at the up frame, but is there a way to make it work as a button???
