ActionScript 2.0 :: Unable To Use Buttons With Draggable Movie Clip?
Feb 1, 2010
I have a movie clip on the main timeline in frame 1 that I named moveablekey. What it is supposed to be is a key for a map that you can move around on the map. When you scroll over/off the key it will hide/unhide the actual key. The key has some buttons that I want to allow to go to a different link when clicked. When I test the key without the code below it will work on the link and take me to the link, but when I put the code into the main timeline it stops the link from working. Here is what I think is happening: The code seems to make it so wherever I click on the movie clip it is doing the start/stop drag code and won't recognize the buttons within the movie clip. So is there a way that I can make just the header of the key to be clickable to start/stop the drag, but still move the entire key, and allow for the buttons to be clicked?
Code:
stop();
moveablekey.onPress = function(){
startDrag(this);
Mouse.hide();[code]..........

I'm creating a draggable movie clip (an arrow symbol) that drags along a rectangular track. Works fine but my issue is when the arrow's y axis is at a certain position, it needs to remove a movie clip instance and also run a trace statement. Right now, it's not doing that (if I change the == in the if statement to += it works but then it just works as soon as you mouse down on the arrow) and I'm wondering where I'm goofing up. Here's my code:
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

I know this is a bit common now, but I can't seem to find a way to make this work as I need it to.I've got a movie clip that I need to allow dragging on.The movie clip is the background to a website. It is very long in dimensions (lets say 5,000px by 384px).Anyway, the movie clip will align at 0,0 and then should be able to be scrolled horizontally until the end of the graphic reaches the end of the stage.My document size is 1024 x 384.I'd like to be able to make the movie scroll and ease on drag.

I'm wondering if there is a way to duplicate a mc so that when you drag & drop a ball, for example, there can be 50 balls stacked underneath, each with its own capabilities to be dragged individually? Obviously the goal is to be able to do this without applying the start/stop drag action to each ball.

I am building a click through presentation that has some small text in it. To maintain the design and allow for readability, I have added a zoom feature.Here is the structure of the movie,Stage - contains pages movie clip and forward/reverse click buttons for changing pagesThere is a button at the _root level that uses a tweener to scale the pages_mc up to 170%. When this is clicked, it allows the pages to be dragged around the screen so you can look at different sections. When you click the button again, it returns the pages back to their original size stops drag.My problem is, on the pages, there are buttons with links to external sites. Once startDrag has been invoked, I cannot touch the buttons inside the movie clip. Is there a way to make these buttons work?
Code below
magUp_btn.onRelease = function() { this._visible = false; TweenLite.to(pages_mc, .25, {_x:-250, _y:-193, _xscale:170, _yscale:170}); TweenLite.to(magUp_mc, .75, {_alpha:0});

I have created a multi-scene flash document. One of my buttons on the stage loads a movie clip from my library and has the following script:
on (press) {
this.attachMovie("help", "window", 1);
window._x = -300;
window._y = 200;
}
Works great. Then inside this movie clip, I have an invisible button with the following script:
on (press) {
startDrag(window);
}
on (release) {
stopDrag();
}
This allows the movie clip that popped up to be draggable. This also works perfectly.
My problem is, the button will only attach the movie clip on the first scene. I currently have it loading in level 1. Does anyone know how I can work around this?

Unfortunatly im having to extend to more draggable objects. So they will be within another movie clip so i can have them scrolling. After making the scroll, the draggable objects dont register on the droptarget as they are within another movie clip. Below is i think the part of the code that needs to be changed so the draggable objects know where to find the drop target.

To select the chapter I have an "Accordion" style menu with draggable panels. In each chapter panel I have a button which upon being clicked should direct me to the chapters first frame. The problem is it doesn't.

I have a flash movie I'm externally loading into my SWF. It isn't mine. I'm trying to pause the swf, but I can't and I don't know how the SWF works because it isn't mine. I was thinking about maybe creating a bitmap of it, but I can't do that because I don't think you can create bitmaps at runtime of moviing movie clips. Is there a solution to my problem

I am trying to place buttons inside a movie clip to control the timeline of the same movie clip. This does not seam to work like buttons on the main timeline. When I play the movie the cursor does not turn into a hand and the rolloever affects only sort of work. I have read about controling the movie clip with buttons on the main timeline, but I need one of the buttons to change halfway through the movieclip. I want to be able to jump to interior shots while in the exterior section and vice versa. It would seem that button would work the same way inside a movie clip as they do on the main timeline, but that does not appear to be the case. I am using CS3. Action scrip 2.0 is selected, but I could change it to 3.0 if it would make a difference.

I have a movie clip with 15 frames. Each frame has buttons on it (mc's)... I was going to put the actions on the main timeline/stage and navigate within the MC from the main timeline. Is that possible? I can get the buttons on the first frame of the MC to work, but I can't seem to figure out how to target/make the buttons on the other frames work? I was thinking I could identify the path of the MC with the frame labels, but that doesn't seem to work. like: _root.RMChanger.(frame label).buttonOnFrame = function
I have to move a text box in and out over the MC backgrounds on the main stage... which is why I was thinking to do it this way? I've been switching back and forth bwtween AS2.0 and 3.0

I am creating a navigation bar in Flash (which will then be used in Dreamweaver). When you mouse over each topic in menu (ex. Products), i want it play a movie clip (so it shoots out a sub-menu underneath). so far so good, but the only thing is, the sub-menu won't stay open in order for me to click on buttons in it. For each button, I assigned it the Behavior to go to a url. Also, I tested the buttons within the mc and they don't seem to direct me to url. do you think maybe it's because it's nested within the movie clip?? Is there an easier way to go about this?

I am in the middle of creating a website using Flash CS5. I opened up my .Fla file one day to continue my work but I am no unable to access buttons and movie clips. When creating movie clips or buttons I am unable to get inside them, when I hover my mouse over them there is a white hand icon which never used to be there it was always just a normal mouse icon. I double click to enter inside the buttons/movie clips but nothing happens. This happens to existing movie clips and buttons on the page and even when I create new ones. I really don't wanna have to start this website again.

I used the Kirupa Tutorial for Advanced Rollovers to create my navigation menu and within one of the movie clips I have additional buttons that show up on the roll over.I know that you need to place the onPress code on the frame that the buttons actually live. I have a trace("mix_btn: "+mix_btn); to find out if the button is being found.
My problem is that I dont know how to get the code below to actually dynamically load and external SWF into a container on the main timeline. A friend of mine suggested a MovieClipLoader or onLoadInit Handler but I have no idea how to use those. (I'm a noob and proud of it!). (this is my latest version of a onPress.)
Code:
mix_btn.onRelease = function() {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", getNextHighestDepth())
loadMovie("musicMixes.swf", container);

I have 4 buttons which i have to make them draggable. The problem is that i have 3 conditions
condition #1. Only 1 button/mclip is draggable in its axis [done].
condition #2 .The 4 button/mclip must be dragabble at the same time, that is, when i drag one, the others should drag at the same time in their own axis.

I have a movie clip & inside that movie clip, some Images are moving around the stage. I want these images to act like buttons, so that when we click on them we can go to URL link. First I stopped my movie clip on mouse rollover, which is working fine & for buttons I converted these images to movie clip ( yahoo_mc) & gave action Script
on (release){
getURL("http://www.yahoo.com ", "_parent");
}
