ActionScript 2.0 :: Button Activating Movie Clips?
Mar 11, 2004
Ok so, I have a button called btnEnter and its instance name is enter. Then, I have a movie clip called mcRotatingDot and its instance name is center. These two work so that when the mouse is over the button, the dot blinks. When the mouse is no longer over the button there is a fade in from alpha 0 to 60 of the dot. It all works fine, here is the code that I am using on the movie clip:
onClipEvent (load) {
//this sets the initial properties of our clip
this._xscale = 75;
[code]....

this._xscale = 75;
this._yscale = 75;[code]...........
1)How can I make the movie clip blink with pure action script? And not having to do a stupid tween on the movie clip's timeline.
2)Can a button activate more than one movie clip? Because I am also trying to make the same button (aka. btnEnter, instance name enter) to change the rotation speed of another movie clip to spin faster. Here is the code for the other movie clip called mcRotatingCircle instance name outter:
onClipEvent (load) {
//this sets the initial properties of our clip
this._xscale = 1000;[code]............
Yet the movie clip will not spin faster on roll over. The only thing that I thought could go wrong is that there is another instance of the same movie clip mcRotatingCircle, named middle on the stage. I tried absolute addressing the outter instance, but it just won't work.

I'm still a rookie in flash and I'm having a little bit of trouble with some actionscript. I've gotten as far as placing the buttons and assign the correct actionscript for them to work. Everything is working fine with the buttons activating the external .swf into a blank movie clip in the main movie. Ony thing is, I would like the external movie assigned to the first button to open once the movie is loaded.
I thought by using the same actionscript i used on the button {and removing the on(release) tag} and placing on the first frame of the main movie would help, but it doesn't.

I'm trying to make a flash website that has clickable buttons that will play different movie clips. But I dont know how to make it to just play the movie clip with the button you click without playing all the movie clips on the main timeline.

I have a simple movie clip of fading in text displaying on page with a sound. also have a button that allows user to go to the next frame. It is an exercise for students that basically goes like this: object presented in each frame, spelling (text) for that object fades in on mc with sound attached to mc, then button activates to let them move on to next. Since they are trigger happy, I don't want the button that allows to move on to activate on the frame until AFTER the movieclip and it's sound have played out (which is like 2 seconds so not a long wait) - otherwise, they would just keep clicking next and not listen to the material presented (it's very young children).
How do I set this up? I knew it's likely very simple, but I'm a newbie. Of course, I could always just do it on the timeline, but I have a ton of material, so am trying to use actionscript to be more efficient. for even younger kids, am considering setting this up so they can move to next frame through any keypress. I know how to set up a certain key, but not ANY key.

I want to create some AS to disable and enable a button.Let's call this ButtonX. I want this button to appear disabled at first, and then allow the user the option of enabling this button(ButtonX) by clicking another button. Let's call this ButtonY. I cannot get this to work. I am attaching the code I am trying. I have this AS added to ButtonY and ButtonX is the instance name for the button I want to de-activate-activate.

I have three movie clips, called clip1, clip2, and clip3 that are in my library but not on the stage.
On the stage, I have a movie clip of a curtain that is a button. How can I make it so that clicking my button (which makes the curtain rise) will load and play one of the movie clips in the library?

I have a row of movie clips which act as buttons with an inactive state, active state, selected state etc. What I am seeking is kind of like a controller button which when clicked will activate or de-activate this row when clicked. I thought the best way might be to set frame labels and add a goto sript for the controller button to make each button go to the activate frame when the controller button is clicked.

I'm trying to get my movable button to stop activating. It's looping (up/over/down/hit).
loupe_mc.onPress=function() {
this.startDrag();
};
loupe_mc.onRelease=function() {
this.stopDrag();

I'd like to control a movie clips current frame by another movie clips action script.I realise the following controls the outside (root) frame time line:
on(release){
_root.gotoAndStop(1);
}
but I'm not sure how to apply that to my other movie clip. I'm guessing it would be something like this:
on(release){
_*movie_clip_name*.gotoAndStop(1);
}

I have a button which, when a user drags it onto a movieclip is supposed to cause that movie clip to advance to frame 2. What I've used so far is this:
Code:
on (press) {
startDrag(this);[code]..........
The button drags fine, but when released over the movieclip nothing happens. I've tried using "_parent.slide1_mc.gotoAndStop(2);" instead to no avail.

I have an .swf file that is going to serve as a login for a new website being built. The .swf will contain a movie symbol and two text fields underneath it. The idea is for the movie symbol to play at different points on its timeline based on what is being typed in the text fields below. For instance, when someone is typing in their user name, the movie file will start at a certain point on the timeline and when they type in their password, it will jump to another point in the timeline. I figure thats the easy part and I would settle for just that.
The complicated part is this: Ultimately, I want the movie symbol to jump to those points on its timeline based on how many characters have been typed into the text fields. For example, if someones user name is "christoper", I need the file to play the movie once someone has typed in "chri" and then jump to the next section of its timeline after they've typed in "stopher", and so on down through the password.

Basically what I'm trying to do is have one button move two objects, each at different speeds. My first object is called "bg" the second is called "test." I have two buttons, "left" and "right" and when they are clicked on, only the "test" object moves. Here's the code I'm using:
function onRollOver():Void {
if (bg._x<gLEFT) {
bg._x = gLEFT;

I have made buttons within movie clips as I want the buttons to fade in from alpha 0-100. Also, the buttons have an Over state, so when you hover over the button the colour of the button changes from maroon to grey.I originally used this code to link from one frame page to another:
on (release) {
gotoAndStop(3);
}
however it just made the button disappear, so I tried using frame labels instead with the following code:
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop("menuLabel");
}
The above code allowed the button to link from one frame page to another, however the only problem is that it has somehow stopped the mouse Over event from working (the maroon to grey).I have used the following code to correct the mouse Over event error, but now the button itself isn't going to the specified frame.
onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
home_mc.onRollOver = function() {
this.gotoAndStop("menuLabel");
}
}

I've been following a flash tutorial, It's a complicated piece. You'll have to look at it to see for yourselves.My main problem is that I would like to try to add buttons to the scrolling 'menu' movie clips, that would enable me to go to a new scene. I've tried the '_parent.gotoAndPlay(2)' etc, but due to my very basic knowledge of action-scripting I can't get it to work.

Basically I am trying to link two buttons so that two separate areas activate as one button including with rollovers etc. I am creating a flash application that features a series of tabs along the top of the page that when rolled over, will light up. When clicked on, these tabs will take the user to a different page. My problem is that I have an image on the left hand side of the application that features areas of the image that will take the user to the same place. I wish to link the button rollovers so that when the user rolls over the tab, the image will light up and vice versa. I have been unable to find a solution to this myself - the closest I came was making the area one button, but due to the distance the image and tabs are apart, the whole screen becomes one big button!

I have a class file which prints a flash object. I don't want the print job to activate until a button is clicked. The print activation is a package and referenced by the document class. How would I code this to activate only when a button is pressed/ Currently it activates when the movie is played.

I'm using AS3 in CS4. I have a problem which i can't get past: I have a button which when clicked I wish it to play two movie clips (blind_mc, text_mc) when clicked.. however I do not wish them to play at the same time (as the script below achieves).. but to play one after the other.
I cannot put them on the same layer or join the two togther for many reasons including -- I have many different buttons i wish to apply this too all with different number of movie clips and orders of play, therefore I would have to create excessively long layers for each and every click.
function goHome(e:MouseEvent):void {
blind_mc.play();
text_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);

I'm trying to write a script that uses the instance name of a button to grab a movie clip with the same name from the library and add it to the stage. I also need to remove the movie clip that had the button in it, and be able to pass a variable along to the new movie clip. I got something similar to work using button instance names to jump to a frame label with the same name.

_f01.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fClick);

I want to have two movie clips that each have their own button leading to an external URL. Both of these movie clips have classic tweens (only making them fade in and out).If I do one, it works, but when I do two, it fails on me! The error message I always see is "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at mh2_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()"
I have tried doing them in the same scene and on separate scenes (see attached).

I am in search to find a way to remove movie clips on the press of a button. I currently have 3 buttons that loads three difference movie clips however If one button is pressed I want to remove the previous movie clip that is loaded. Right now I have to press the same button twice in order to remove the movie clips. Is there a way to set up a movie clip listener on the buttons?

I'd like to have one button to use for hiding and unhiding movie clips. I think I'm having an issue with my if statement. I can get the button to hide the movie clip, but can't get it to work on unhiding the movie clip. Here's the code:

The code has only worked on hiding the movie clip. I just can't make it unhide after you click the button again.

I'm trying to finish off a Flash menu that was done for my website & I'm a bit stuck - New to this game. Basically I have a menu made up of 5 items, each item leads to another list which has a "datefield", "nemericstepper" & "order" button. what I am trying to achieve is when the "order" button is pressed the "date" & "number" information is sent to my existing order page, customers details are then entered in the required fields & this is sent including the "date" & "number" via my existing PHP script to my email.

I've been trying to figure this out all day, with no luck - so I'm hoping someone here can help a girl out with her code .I'm working on what is essentially a 'character profile' page, in which you can scroll across the page to see different characters, and clicking on them will bring up a short profile.However, I've set up these different characters as separate buttons within the scrolling movie clip and can't seem to get them to activate.Here is the code I've used so far:
--
p1.visible = false;
p2.visible = false;
var tar:Number;[code]....
It doesn't work.However, using tutorials and trying different things, all I have achieved is making all the profiles appear at once, or having them activate when you press anywhere on the movie clip.In AS2, I would have used myMC.b1 to target it,

As most of you don't know, I've been creating an rpg game. And, after several tries of art making, etc, I have finally moved back into coding the game. And now, I'm stuck on the equipment system idea. At first, I thought I would just place a bunch of goToAndStop's for each movie clip to go to a frame that has that certain armor piece. This was my first idea for an equipment system. However, after doing some research, and realizing how much lines of code could be saved, I started looking into simply adding and removing movie clips from the character as my new equipment system idea. Now.... on to the problem.
Basic want/ overall achievement wanted: Create an equipment system, which will basically attach movie clips (items) onto characters, which themselves will already be attached movie clips on the stage.
Problem: What is the exact code to do this? And Is there a better way to do this for an equipment system (a less laggy or more efficient way perhaps that I'm not seeing; Check the code below to get a better idea of what I'm talking about)?
Part of the code (or basic idea of code; see comments for extra details
code:
//Don't worry I have an OnEnterFrame function here;
//attachedObj= the character; figure= the MC name of the character;
attachedObj = attachMovie("figure", "figure"+1, 1);
[Code].....
