i have a scrollbar that controls the action within a movieclip called "future". The code for this works just fine when it's placed in root, but when i put this in a movieclip by its own, a can't get it to snap and control anymore.I would like to but this code and movieclip and put in in a clip called "scroll". The for it to control the same thing as it does now ,_parent.future.gotoAndStop("a"); etc.[code]
View 1 RepliesI want to apply actions to a movieClip nested inside a dynamicly attached movieClip, with the attachMovie method; it doesn't works when the movieClip is attached by a button:

I will have to explain this in steps. I have a flash website, inside it I have the content on frame 2 (frame 1 = preloader) from there I have a content_mc which holds my pages. I have a home page (frame labeled home) which inside displays the home_mc. In here I have inserted a flvPlayback component. Here's where the problem is. I have moved a stop and volume component on it as wel which has automatically linked up (which is nice). But I would like when I click the stop button, the video disappears. The videoPlayback is called "introVid", the instance name is "vid", and is residing within the "home" mc.
I know the code is something like:
this.visible = false;
or
movieclip(root).home.vid/introVid.visible = false;
or I have also seen people using visibility = false...
However I cannot find out how to link this with the flvPlayback Stop button component. Inside the button all I can find is: The 4 button states,
some code on stop button itself:
stop();
this.upLinkageID="StopButtonNormal";
this.overLinkageID="StopButtonOver";
this.downLinkageID="StopButtonDown";
this.disabledLinkageID="StopButtonDisabled";
I require to put my actionscript on the press or release, but I cannot find out to do this, I assume the code at the moment is calling a "flash component class" which holds the actions for "stopButtonDown" or something, I did have a go at manually creating a mc and a button, and making that stop the flvPlayback, and hiding the movieClip, but with no luck.
I am trying to get some actions on a duplicated MovieClip Now what I got is something like this:
Actionscript Code: I have some loop wrapped around this so the 'i' changes.duplicateMovieClip("target", "new"+i, 100+i);// I use 'i' because i need a few of those...for(i=0;i<somenumber;i++){_root["new"+i].onEnterFrame = function(){//actions}}
And it won't work. Logically it just makes MCs "new1" "new2" "new3" and so on.And then it checks for those.If i put a MC named "new3" on stage, it works. I guess i'm just stupid and doing the duplication wrong or something.
I've read that it's easier to simply put all the actions that you will be using on one layer of the whole .fla, so it will be easier to configure and change settings. Well I've been trying to do that, and I'm kinda new at it, like I can get around with putting actions on movieclips, but now since I've started doing it this way, I've had some troubles... For example
ActionScript Code:
player_mc.onLoad = function(){
playerSpeed = 5;
playerHealth = 50;
player_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
[Code] .....
That's simply a character moving script, but it doesn't seem to be working for me, and I think it's because it's on the Actions layer and not on the movieclip...
How can I make a mc witch I us as a button fuctional for two actions.I mean when I press the button that a clib fades out and when I press again it fades in again I tried it with an if but the it only works one time.This is the script
Code:
but.onRelease = function(){
if (mc._alpha <= 1){
fadeClip (mc, 100, 4);
}else if (mc._alpha >= 99){
fadeClip (mc, 0, 4);
}}
I'm trying to convert an old AS 2.0 file to 3.0, but keep getting this error:

I've been pulling my hair out trying to find the problem spot. Can someone take a look at this file and find where the problem lies? NOTE: the file needs to be updated to use strings within the Case statement: "Button_1", etc.
how can I create a button with two actions.I mean for example I want after the first Click show something on stage, and after second click on it hide previus movieclip (or etc...) or even show something else.. . for example we have 3 symbols here s1,s2 and s3 s3 is our movieclip button. after first click in s3, I want to show s2. and after second click I want to hide s2.
[Code]...
I am trying to create two actions, one when my mouse is over my button and two when my i click my button, I am having a bit of trouble with my action script below, any advise:
function buttonOver(event;MouseEvent)void{
button.gotoAndPlay("over");
} function buttonOut(event;MouseEvent)void{
button.gotoAndPlay("out");
} button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,buttonOver);
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,buttonOut);
Assign actions for a mc created dynamically?
View 3 Repliesi'm currently having a small problem with some Actionscript 2.0 in CS3.I'm following a tutorial to make a simple maze like game URL...I'm currently at step 5 where it's coding the movement and wall detection.. The problem is the tutorial wants me to apply the code directly to the maze/wall movieclip. However as this is for a college project my lecturer will not accept actionscript directly applied to buttons or movieclips.. He basically wants all the script on a seperate actionscript layer. So basically what i'm asking is how and what part of the code do i need to change so it'll still work even though it's on a different layer from the object![code]

View 3 RepliesHow do I make the actions contained in a movieclip work on the main timeline? For example. In the movieclip, I have some buttons and I have an "Actions" layer there which contains all the functions of the buttons, listeners and such.
I placed this movieclip on Frame 1 of the main timeline.
When I run the program, I'm able to hover my mouse over the buttons and it changes to a "finger" cursor as if they can be clicked on, however, when I click the buttons, nothing happens. It's as if it's not recognizing the Mouse Click event listeners I put on the buttons in the "Actions" layer of the movieclip.
If I create a movieclip and inside it I write some actions, for example set values to some variables, how can I retrieve those values to my main action script frame in the stage?

I have recently updated my Flash and I seriously regret it as everything seems to of changed. For instance I want to publish a movie i created in Action Script 3.0. In this movie i have buttons which have actions applied to them and everytime i go to publish the site, it brings up the error 'WARNING: Actions on button or MovieClip instances are not supported in ActionScript 3.0. All scripts on object instances will be ignored.'
How do I go about keeping my 3.0 elements but having buttons with actions applied to them. I am a complete beginner with Flash by the way so the answer would need to be completely straight forward.
I'm building an interactive map and i've run into a problem. The map is draggable and I have a start and stop drag function running as well as an onEnterFrame function which restricts how far you can drag the map. The map is displayed inside of a masked area. On the map is many locations which when rolled over should pop up a little dialogue box with contact info. My problem is that it only works when i've disabled the drag functions. When the drag functions are running the buttons inside the map movie clip all stop working. How can i get around this?

the think is; in the main timeline im on the frame 1 (animation stoped here), i want to pass to frame 2 but first i play a MC, who is an animation of a black square who covers all the movie that goes from transparent on his own frame 1 going to full opacity in frame 5 and then transparent again in frame 9. Well i want to pass from main frame 1 to frame 2 when the MC animation is exactly on his own frame 5
View 1 RepliesI found this flash tutorial about old scratchy movie: [URL]. Tells me to create a movie clip "line" and "actions" and create a line as big as the movie: 400. Then tells me to put this on the action panel of "actions".
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
_root.line._x=random(400);
}
I did that and it tells me to test the movie so I did but I get this error:

I've done a website with different pages using the Loader component. On one page I have a movieclip that has different images (like a slideshow) that fade between each other. I'm trying to add an action to make the movieclip pause for a few seconds between each fade. So I've added this action between each fade (in a layer, above the graphics layers, that only holds actionscript):
Code:
stop();
function restart(){

I have a movie clip with an actions layer. Can I call a function from an actionscript file from the actions panel?
View 2 RepliesI have a series of frames one the timeline. Each frame has a graphic and a mouse click leads to the next frame. Think Myst.
[Code]...
When the middle frame is returned to, clicks no longer change anything. I believe that the actions of the 'left' frame are replacing the one's in the middle frame so then it is told to gotoAndStop to itself.
I'd like to know if that is indeed what is happening and how I can make it stop.
i have a button with action script code "submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnDown);" but it gave me below warning msg...."WARNING: Actions on button or MovieClip instances are not supported in ActionScript 3.0.

View 2 RepliesWhen we want to know if a MovieClip animation has ended, we use to listen the enter frame event and check if current frame is the final one (where the movieclip frame has a stop).
But we've thought on a new idea: to extend MovieClip and override stop method. In the override we dispatch an event indicating the animation is ended. So, we hope the clip to find a stop in a frame, call the overriden method and execute both, the super.stop() and the event dispatch.
I have a dropdown style menu that has some movieclip buttons inside it and when I click on the movieclips the actions aren't working.
Here is the file I'm working on. Rollover the head on the border and you'll see what I mean. [URL]
I tried searching but couldn't find any threads that answered my question about why the MC doesn't work when its embedded inside another MC.
Here is the code (first frame of root timeline) that is used for the movieclip button:
Code:
_root.odinHead_mc.videoGalleryButton_mc.onPress = function() {
_root.videoGallery_mc._visible = true;
};
1. Can i put another set of actions in frame 2 of the actions layer?i tested but it doesn't seem to work..it has 836 rows of code and it's getting annoying when tryin to search for a function..
2. I am not that familiar with classes, i usually put all the code into movieclips or in actions layer.. i am not sure if i can call a function from a actionscript class..
3.I am curios if there is any way i could specify an alternative for the if statement like in this pseudocode:
if ( apple is not clean BUT is tasty)
{
eat(apple)
}
What do the little red squares on the lower left hand corner of the movieclips in the actions panel mean? [Fig. 1]I'm working off this template in Flash CS3, that's using ActionScript 2.0 actually. I don't know whether or not that means anything in regards to the above inquire?
View 7 RepliesI'm trying to add an action at the end of a MovieClip (which contains another MovieClip fading in and out) to stop it and remove it from the stage, but on every frame I try I keep getting "Current selection cannot have actions applied to it". What am I doing wrong?
View 4 Replies I got this early version of a sliding menu. See file "scrolling.fla". Its got four images that slides into place when you click on the small colored buttons. The thing is I want the movie to quit/shut down when I press the red button, AFTER the red image has moved back in place.The code for the red button is:
on (press) {
_root.xnew = _root.mask2._x+(-2-1)*458.5/2;
}
I added the following:
on (rollOut) {
_root.unloadMovie();
}
It works in a sense but I dont want to use "on (rollOut)", because you might shut down the slideshow involuntary moving the cursor on your way to the other buttons. So the question is, yet again, how to quit the movie after the red image is back in place?
