ActionScript 2.0 :: AttachMovie Bug - If Click One Of The 2 Loading Buttons Twice?
Jun 23, 2007
I encountered a strange thing when experimenting with attachMovie. So, here's the deal: 2 button, 1 mc_colder. Each button onPress loads a different MC into the holder ( mc1 and mc2 ). Beside those 2 buttons that load the 2 MCs i have 2 more buttons that should remove the loaded MC. Nothing bad until now, loading, removing works fine, but a problem occurs if I click one of the 2 loading buttons twice.. Example: I pess the first buttons once, and loads mc1, i press button 2, loads mc2, i remove both mcs, now, i press button 1 again, loads mc1, i press buton 1 again ( and it should load the mc again or do nothing ? ) but when i want to remove this MC it won't. How can I fix this? Or how can I tell flash not to attach the MC again, once it has already been loaded? I tried a few tricks but nothing yet. I'll keep experimenting with it.

I'm building an image gallery in Flash, and I've struck a problem.Here's what I have so far: A series of movie clip buttons which animate quite nicely.I want to make it so that when you click on one of the buttons, a series of thumbnails appears (I would put them all in a movieclip). Here's my code for one of the buttons:
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("over");
}[code]....
When I click on that button, the thumbnails appear, but they are inside the button mc. I want to either make the "india_thumbs" mc appear in a blank mc, or make it appear in its own layer.

I have 3 buttons and when I click them the attach movies corresponding to them from the library should show up. Issue is with for loops. It stops at last number. What should I do or use for loop so that when I click my invisible buttons, movie corresponding to them show up? and only that movie show up, not anyone else.
buttonArray = [btn,btn1,btn2]; //mouse click button
movieArray = ["mypopmc","mypopmc1","mypopmc2"]; //movie name;
mArray1 = [mypop_mc,mypop_mc1,mypop_mc2,]; //movie instance name
//dynamic text instance for 3 movies are y1,y2 and y3
for(n=0;n<buttonArray.length;n++) {
[Code]...
How could I create the for loop so that with every mouse click it shows the corresponding movie and text in it. It should show only 1 movie at a time with 1 mouse click on the invisible button (I meant corresponding movie).

I have a slight issue with my application I'm working on. Whenever I attach new "windows" to the stage (using attachMovie), it seems that the window that is currently on top allows the user to click the buttons and components on the window behind it. I'm using Flash CS3 Professional, but exporting to AS2.0/Flash8.

All the actionscript is taking place outside of the timeline and in its own AS file.InProgress is a movieClip that contains nothing at start. Once loaded it contains a list of movieClips, each which contain buttons. I need to change the label on those nested buttons. The buttons are actually components, where the label is named label and its variable is labelID.[code]Now if I create just a button on the stage myself, the .label command works perfectly. However, it does not work at all with nesting... I just want to change the label of the nested resumeButton...

I have created an interactive atlas. I am using my favorite map zooming and panning tools supplied by Senocular which can be found here: [URL] For the panning/zooming/drawBox tool to work the map features must be buried deep within several movieclips. There is one level at which you can put buttons that aren't effected by the code for the panning/zooming etc. Buttons have to go on this level or higher if you want them to work.
The way my atlas is set up - there is a main interface that has these tools plus the menu system. The menu (xml; created by Lost and Sen - brilliant) loads in two external swfs - one is the map itself and the other is a set of "controls" for that particular map (radio buttons, check boxes, text links, etc.).
Okay so here is my problem. I have a couple of external swfs that have buttons on them that do things when you roll over and off them. If I have these buttons sitting on the map then when it gets loaded into the main interface they no longer work. So I am trying to use attachMovie to attach them to an MC within the zooming tools in the main interface at a level they can be active (oh god I hope that makes sense). But it's not working.
I am guessing it's because the code to attach them is being fired before the external can be loaded into the interface. So I'm not really sure where to fire the attachMovie code. Does it go with the external? Does it go with the controls for the external?

Code:
thumb03.onRelease = function(){
image_holder.loadMovie("images/03.jpg");
submenu01_holder.attachMovie( "submenu01", "submenu01_new",this.getNextHighestDepth());
getURL("./htm/03.html", "tracker");
};
So I'm working on a portfolio and I'm trying to load an image with a submenu on top of it that will let you click through a couple different related images. However, right now the submenu keeps loading underneath the image, so the buttons are there and you can see it a split second before the other image loads over the top. I tried manually putting in levels for the image and submenu and no luck.

I'm using an xml to feed content to a flash website, to load the content I use an array to create a new movie clip per item. What I need to use is for every item to have an action to attach a movieclip in the fashion of a modal window and load the content of this item into the popup movie clip. So far I've managed to get it to get it to attach the mc but the variables with the content do not load.I tried with this but it still didn't work:
_root.contenedorPop.attachMovie("popup", "popnoticia", this.getNextHighestDepth());
_root.popnoticia.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.noticiaTitulo.text = "textoooo";

Adobe Flash CS3
publishing as Flash 8, AS 2.0
I have a movieclip named menu (instance name = mainmenu). Inside of that there is a button named btn_about (instance name = about). On the main stage there is an empty movieclip named empty_mc (instance name = mcholder, linkage id = empty). I want a user to press the button which causes a movieclip in the library named tesst (Linkage name = testid) to load into the empty movieclip (mc_holder).
Here is the code on the button:
on (release) {
this._parent.mcholder.attachMovie("testid", "tesst1", this.getNextHighestDepth());
}
It does not work.

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 have a movie clip on the stage which contains buttons and actions for various things. This works fine on its own...I have another button on the top level that does other things... This works fine on its own...What I need to do though is have a button over a button eg. When I press the button on the stage the single click actions both the button on the stage and the buttons in the movie clip.I know you can�t have two buttons on top of each other on the stage, so how can I achieve this through AS2.I click on one button and a click is replicated on the other button.

The buttons are contained in a movie clip.When you click the button, it starts the movie clip and makes the page "flip".Problem is, if i click back to page 1 and go back to page 2, it now takes two button clicks to start the movie clip.I put this action in the button where "page2" is the instance name of the movieclip:[code]

I built a simple jpg comp click-through as a software demo, and inserted flash movies to simulate interative buttons (hover styles basically). I am using the SWFobject script to load the swfs, and they render properly. However, they seem to need a single click within the swf to "activate" them. This not the IE click to activate issue. They look correct. They just don't interact with the mouse until I have clicked inside the SWF once. This has the effect of making all the button require a double-click to work, and means that when I hover on them, they do not animate until after I have clicked inside.
This only seems to happen in Firefox... FF 3.6.3 and Flash Player 10,0,45,2

I have a flow chart, the Flash works perfectly, no problems, however i am using the multiple screens on Powerpoint slides in a program called Articulate (a simple program to house things like this as a whole media object on a website etc).The only issue with this is that i need to add links on top of each button on the page, which link to other slides in the presentation. So not hyperlinks in the Flash code, slide-hyperlinks in Powerpoint.
The Flash code should be enough to make the shapes have hover states, but not be a 'button', if that makes any sense? The hyperlink shapes i add on afterwards in Powerpoint should be the clickable areas with the cursor turning to a hand, but the Flash code by itself should just have a hover state with the cursor staying as an arrow.
Here's the code -
var tl:MovieClip=this;
for(var i = 1; i < 30; i++){

I have 2 buttons that i made an up arrow and a down arrow. I would like them to move an image up or down on mouse click. Although i made the button rollover actions previously and i got the script below from researching online. Now I am not sure if i should even bother with it. I thought if i could get the actionscript to recognize the buttons and tell it what to move the (the ad) I could get them to work. But haven't figured out how to do that and if i have to make custom buttons for this. see what i have below thus far.

I need to create a workaround for a button issue. I don't know how to have one button created by one class send a click event to another item created in a different class
Therefore, I'd like to place both of my buttons on top of one another, alpha one of them out and have both buttons receive the same click.

I found code that enables my movie clip to have click and drag rotation.Not sure how this works exactly, but it does. Now I've placed buttons that show details when moused over, and I had to repeat them for every keyframe of the movie clip to have them follow the rotation of the images in the movie clip.My question is how do I now enable these detail buttons to be hidden and shown globally?I have enabled a hide/show button to change the visibility of one of the detail buttons as a test (on the tire of the race car), but what happens is the hide state gets lost as soon as you click and drag to a new keyframe and the button shows up again without having pressed the "show" button. What do I need to have the detail buttons stay hidden throughout the clip until the "show" button is pressed?Here's the swf for reference: http:[url].......And here's the current actionscript:

I have 3 buttons on the stage, and I want to make it so when you click on the different buttons it changes how the array is sorted. The buttons change position on the screen when they are pushed, so I was trying to build my code based on their positions. Not sure if that is the best way to do it. I have the array coming from an xml. This is my first time dealing with xmls and I am new to AS3 and flash, so please excuse the sloppy code. This is the part of the code I am having trouble with. It does the "else" statement fine, but won't change with the buttons.

I am trying to make buttons that play a movie then go to the page.
I want you to be able to click on the button (bottle) and then the motion tween play out and then when its finished direct you to the desired page.
I posted the code above that I used to get the button to play out on click, but I cannot get the code right to get it to redirect to a different page or url right after the movie plays?
