Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this.onRollOver = function() {

I'm putting together a pretty basic website/portfolio. The buttons/code that go from page to page work great. The code I'm using to access larger images from thumbnails is basically the same, however it's not working.I have the site setup so that each larger image is it's own separate page, so basically the thumbnails act as buttons to access a specifically labeled page. Ex- Thumbnail/button "Character1_btn" goes to the page labeled as "Character1" to display the larger image. I hope this makes sense.Below is the code I'm using. As I said- all functions but the character1 function are working properly.. I really need the character 1 function to work.Quote:
stop ();
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playhom e);
function playhome(event:MouseEvent):void{

created a .swf that continously scrolls with a pause and play button with only actionscript. The file was too large so I created a preloader in a seperate file loading the .swf with loadClip, but the buttons on the .swf stopped working! What do I need to do to get the buttons working again? I'm completely baffled.

I'm loading an item to the stage and trying to apply a function to it but it doesn't seem to work.
Code:
_root.attachMovie("FullScreenBTN","FullScreenBTN",_root.getNextHighestDepth());
_root.FullScreenBTN.onRelease = function(){
trace("test")
}
When I press the button nothing happens, but when I remove the attach code and just put the button on the stage with the appropriate instance name it does work.
I have one function that puts text in a text field and makes a button goto a url onRelease.The code is like this:
Code:
item.onRelease = function() {
myButton.onRelease = function() {
getURL("http://google.com", "_blank");
}
talk = this.txt;
}
the only problem is that the button doesn't work onRelease. i think that it is because there are too many functions there, but at the same time,
Flash won't let me access my functions or variables. And I can't figure out why. Do I have a syntax error?

import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Base extends MovieClip {

I have these two functions which both happen on an onEnterFrame event;"basichittest" and "photo". They each work by themselves, but not together.I attached the fla file.I commented out lines 6-10 and line 58.I want the red dot "photodetector" to get brighter as the mirror slides to the right. I also want the beams of light to bounce back and forth when the drag happens.If I uncomment the offending code, the beams no longer bounce, but the dot behaves the way I want.

I have these little menu tags which move down when you roll over them. Then, if you click one, it stays down. Then the other menu tags move down when you roll over them, until you click one, at which point the previous tab moves back to original position. (I'm sure that makes little to no sense... so look here: [URL]. Anyway, it works great for the first couple of seconds, then after a while (especially after a click) some of the menu's don't return to their previous position. My fla is attached, but here is my script.
PHP Code:
//import classes
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I have two functions that work individually, but not together because they're both onEnterFrame functions for the same mc (which is not possible).
Here's the code from the mc "A" class file:
Code:
function onEnterFrame(){
removeA();
connectT();
}
This works until the next function runs...
function removeA(){
if (this._x < 500){
removeMovieClip(this);
}} var strandID:Number
function connectT() {
[Code] .....
Explanation of code: mc "A" hits "strandT" and the two move together across the screen. Mc "A" needs to disappear when it hits x = 500.
How can I combine these two functions without any of them failing or interrupting each other.

I initially posted this in the AS3 NEWBY forum but I think it probably belongs here. On stage I have 5 boxes, the letter A and two buttons labelled button1 and button2. The letter A is also defined as a button labelled AA_btn. When I click on button1 I want a condition to be set so that if the letter A is clicked, boxes 2 and 4 will disappear. Conversly if I click on button2 I want boxes 1, 3 and 5 to disappear. To do this I have nested the letter A and B functions under the button1 and button2 functions.
I also have a reset button which resets the display of all five boxes back to their original display.Everything works fine when I press Button1 to set the first scenario. When I then click on the letter A boxes 2 and 4 disappear. (perfect). Everything also seems to work when I press the reset button, ie: all five boxes reappear.

I'm having a problem with PC applications. Notably, the keypress command no longer working when my app is fullscreen. It works just fine on Mac, but bugs out and doesnt recognize and of my KeyPress actions when fullscreen. When its not fullscreen, it works. I dont know what to do, as i need my apps to play fullscreen on both pc and mac.
View 1 RepliesI have a serious situation regarding the onRelease Funciton not working properly.I have a FVLplayback componant inside a flash project inside a movie clip. Inside that movie clip I have two layers, One for actionscript and and the other for the actual component which contains instance name of 'myPlayer' (without quotes)[code]That cameraRoll is the instance name of another movie clip I have located in the movie clip as shown in path above. Inside that movie I have rollover, Rollout effects. The actionscipt is in an invisible button right on top of the objects. The actionscript is:[code]The objective: the movieclip to carry out the rollover Rollout effect and to have the function that will start the video.The Problem: When I run the flash project, it does the effect but won't start the video. If i move things around, I can have the video start playing but then the button won't do the rollOver, RollOut effects.
-the path to the video component:-root.menu.video
-the path to the movie clip taht contains the timeframes for rollOver/rollOut effects )which contains invisible button on top of everything. root. menu.cameraRoll
The form is inside a flash site. the actionscript on the "submit" button is as follows:

I have been up now for 30 hours trying to figure this out and my wife is complaining that my eyes are getting bloodshot. I've played with every variation of these codes as i could think of. Changed all the variable names, changed functions from GET to POST, removed the HTML to simplify the php... nothing works... what am i missing?
here's the essence of what i'm doing:

I'm designing an interface for a class, and the buttons that I am using all have multiple functions.For example, when the story button is clicked, I need the mc to stop playing and change to text (in the same window/screen, just no mc playing). The mc is 31 frames long, but if there's a way to just make it loop continuously until told not to, Currently, my code looks like this:
stop();
story_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,story);
function story(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop(32);}credits_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,credits);[code]...
When I click the button, the mc does not stop playing and the text does not show up.
For some reason I can't get this nested set of functions to work, it executes the first tween and the tween invoked after motion of the first is finished but it doesn't ever get to the third!
ActionScript Code:
var t1:Tween=new Tween(p1,"rotationY",Strong.easeOut,90,0,50,false);
var t1x:Tween=new Tween(p1,"x",Strong.easeOut,-900,0,50,false);
t1.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,onMotionFinished);

I have one function that for some reason, isn't calling the next function. I've been looking over this code all day and I feel like it's probably going to be something really small and stupid but I jsut really need help at this point. The function that isn't working is showUsers().
This is my code:
Code:
import fl.controls.*;

Im trying to understand alittle more about using external files.

i've got this movie clip. I've loaded a swf called "page1.swf" into a holder called "page1MC". This child movie DID have a button in it called "page1_buttonA" in it when I made it, but I can't get it to do anything once I've loaded it. I recently discovered you can trace movie clips, and the trace below is coming up undefined, which might explain why it's not working. Now, can anyone explain WHY it's coming up undefined?
The code for the entirety of this debacle is as follows:
stop();
//Create empty movie clip holder:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("page1MC",1);
page1MC._x =0;

I'm a mostly self-taught actionscript hatchet-artist, so there's a HUGE chance I'm missing something obvious because my knowledge is completely unstructured with large gaps where much foundational learning should be.
I want to take a static text field, convert it into a button, and use it as a button. I need it static, because I changed orientation, and I do not know how to do that otherwise. The problem is, even though I converted it to a Button symbol, it does not work when I test the movie. It works fine with "Enable simple buttons", but when I test it, the button is not there, no change in mouse cursor, no reaction at all.So this is what I did:
Made text. // static, not selectable, Orientation: vertical left to right, / //rotated; Two filters: Drop Shadow and Glow;
Converted text field to Button - Symbol (scrollBT)
Editing the Button,I put the same content (the static text field) in all four frames: No luck, not working. without the Hit frame filled (which I think doesn't really make a difference): No luck, not working.Tried again, converting the static text field in the button into a Graphic Symbol: No luck, not working.Tried again, and put some differences in the frames for "ON" and "OVER" etc.: No luck, not working.Tried again, duplicating a similar, working button, edited it, and: No luck, not working.
To the button itself and the AS: The button will be a scroll-button for a text field, with different scroll speeds on rollover and press, but nothing else. The code for that I have (I think). It's something like (and please excuse my incorrect syntax here, but I'm typing from memory; still, I use the Script-Assistant and my syntax is apparently correct; it's also working with other buttons):
on {rollOver} {
function (scroll) {
textfieldtxt.scroll - = 1;}[code]....
I'm at the end of my wits. The only difference I can tell from other (working) buttons I did the same way, is that the scrollBt does not do anything except scrolling, while all of the others have frame actions (gotoAndplay etc.) associated with them.
[URL]
The ad on the bottom right of the screen (the one with lightning flashing) has an invisible button in its Flash file (CS5) linking to [URL]. This file is imported as SWF in Dreamweaver CS5.
The hyperlink works in Firefox, but not in Safari. Maybe it is just my computer.
Let's say I have 3 buttons (movieclips) and, using AS2, I want that when mouse is over a button, that button changes its state, something like
[Code]...
so that the same thing happens for each button when the mouse is rolled over it, by simply calling for each button a function inside which I refer to the button by using "this". And the problem is I cannot (don't know) how to do this in AS3. I mean if I use "this" inside a function, this refers to the main timeline. So is there a possibility to write a function like
[Code]...
i have to scripts each in a different movieclip, i have
Code:
_root.navigation_n_logo["next_btn"].onRelease = function() {
nextImage();
};
and
Code:
_root.navigation_n_logo["next_btn"].onRelease = function() {
galleryChoice(2);
};
so as you see, I want both functions to execute on the same button but it only does 1. how can i fix this? so that both functions execute on the same button/movieclip
How could I code one button to do this
var showpage:Loader = new Loader();
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("fade.swf");
on1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showPage);
[code]....
And the Very Same button when clicked again to do this removeChild(showpage);Pretty much, What I have is a lightswitch, and when you click it, A black Fade appears arounf my FLVplayback.. And I want it, to where you click it again, the Black fade goes away..I can do this with two different buttons.. But was wondering if at all possible with one button.
I have a button which should generate a salt mc and statin mc, but when i put the generating loop on the main timeline and run the function from the button it doesnt work. PS. i need the generating funcion on the maintime line as I need to remove the mc when I click the 'reset' button and also do hittests with the mcs
View 1 RepliesI can't figure out how to get a button to toggle between to functions?It has to be more simple than an if()...else().. statement right?example:
myBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, what goes here?);
/* if the MOUSE_UP event is called and the chalkboard is blank, then write to the chalkboard
else erase the chalkboard */[code].......
This time I am trying to use button functions with in IF statements. However I am having trouble with the if statements regonizing the currentFrame(); or currentFrameLabel();. I want diffrent button functions depending on what frame the playhead is in. But the frames are in diffrent movieclips and what not.The next problem is that I do not full understand the way to do frame paths (IE Root.Movieclip.Movieclip) in AS3. series of tutorials that I could read and follow,
