I need a button to be coded so that onRelease it goes to a certain frame and plays until it hits a frame label at which time it jumps to another frame on the timeline. This only happens if you click the button. If you play the movie from the beginning it ignores the label.
View 3 RepliesI want to make a simple frame by frame path branching game. The problem is that I know that writing in and filling in EVERY FRAME going all along for EVERY CHOICE PATH would be an insanely tedious amount of work. My basic project is reminiscent of japanese visual novels, and I've been looking for turtorials to help me with this style of role playing games, but all of the tutorials concentrated on the adventure RPGs. : Being a novice at Actionscript, past working buttons to make it go to the next frame and stopping it, I was wondering if its possible to make a choice you make earlier in the game affect it later. Such as, you keep following the game normally afterwards, but depending on your choice you'll go to a different scene later. basically, this way I'd like to eliminate the need to make two duplicate paths with only minor variances to show the changes for some choices. Another thing that I would like to know if its possible to do, though this is less important, as I have yet to look for these things and I'm sure I can find them but a save/load system, easy to find I'm sure. And an unlocking system. Something so that once they hit a certain CG I can unlock it in a 'memories' menu on a main screen.
View 9 RepliesIt will basically walk you through the windows to perform a typical setup, with some branching off for special cases. Essentially a main series of screen shots with text that you can scroll through using arrows, with links off to other screen shots or sequences as need. My boss wants it to be "hip and flashy", so wants me to look into Flash. But is that the best tool to use for this ? In all the Flash tutorials I have been watching I haven't seen anything that looks like that kind of application.

I have issues with the buttons working from the SWF file which is brought into the main flash site via UILoader.
[Code]...
I gathered that it is most probably due to the fact that I have constructed a button in the improper way.I tried to redo a button but it was the same result.I would like to try to access it through the main timeline. What would be the whole block of code to put a function on the button located inside an external SWF which is called in via a UILoader?

So there are three menu buttons, and the page flys in animations depending on the button pushed.I have another button named LINK, and I thought it would just be a matter of inserting the following code somewhere:
LINK.onRelease=function(){ getURL("http:url....); }
But no matter where I put it, it just makes my site play through all the animations one after the other regardless of whether buttons have been clicked or not, and the link won't work.Where should I put this code and is it correct? Also, once it's working, I want to copy it and make another button for creating an email.Is that just a matter of having a mailto: link instead of a hyperlink?
I am creating a button. This button will be embeded on several websites but it will have a different link for each website. It wouldn't be realistic to create a different file for every website. Could the link be set in the embed code?

View 7 RepliesAttached is a test SWF that has the exact problem that I am having in the main file, tried to attache the FLA but it is too big.To navigate to the problem, preview the SWF and click Search Now. It will bring up a list of different places, click on the one that says Harbison...that will bring up another window with an X in the corner. You click the X and it unloads the movie-clip but what is supposed to happen is that the white box is supposed to collapse back up after the MC unloads, but it doesn't.The code is there for it to gotoAndPlay the start of the frame where it collapses but it doesn't work...the action is being called because I traced it but it does not do anything.When you click the Harbison button it loads a MC into a Container with:
Code:
_root.container.attachMovie("harbison","harbison",0);
The X button has this code on it:
