ActionScript 2.0 :: Button In MC Load Swf In Main Timeline
Jul 30, 2010
I've a problem about AS2 on button within a MC.
In my working flash, there are 2 MCs
1. a MC called content, full size as the movie, act as a blank platform to load external swf
2. another MC button containing a button, click to loadMovie, placed on top of MC content
I'd like to click the button in button to load an external swf in content.
The script I added on button in MC2
Code:
on(release){
loadMovie("XXX.swf", this.content);
}
[Code]....

I have a main swf which has as3 code on the timeline. I have created a new small swf (a picture gallery) using external .as files (OOP) that works well on its own. I want to load the small swf (through a button on an array) into the main swf. When I click on my button in the main swf, it does not load the small swf (or I think, it cannot read the classes formed through OOP). I get the following error message:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at classes::Script()TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I have manually created a empty mc on the maintimeline named 'loadme'. I have my buttons in a movieclip that is on stage and within that mc i have the follwing code to one of the buttons:
knowbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, knowclick);
var loader = new Loader();
function knowclick(event:MouseEvent):void{
loader.load(new URLRequest("about.swf"));
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.CO MPLETE, handleContentLoader);
this.gotoAndPlay("buyingoff");
} function handleContentLoader(event:Event):void {
this.parent.loadme.addChild(loader);
}
I get an error 1119 when I run the swf. Also, is it possible to declare the variable for 'loader' on the maintimeline and then use it in my buttons mc?

Trying to load a movie clip into another movie clip and control the loaded clip timeline from main stage.
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Transcription-RNAChain.swf");
[code]....
The movie appears to load, as it appears on the stage, but it throws the following error in the debugger on frame 1:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
Additionally, I'm getting neither the result of function loadingError or function finishedLoadingFunction.

I am just about to give up on this whole as3 thing altogether. It is so complex that it is becoming prohibitive for designers, event technical ones ike me (I program easily in perl/php/javascript/sql). All I am trying to do start the main timeline from a button. The button's "up" state is also a movie clip.
Here's the process I am looking for:
1) the main timeline progresses until a certain point where I have inserted a stop();
2) I then display a "continue" button (which is an animated movie clip).
3) the user will "click" the button and the main timeline continues.
My simple Code:
this.stop();
function closeIt(event:MouseEvent):void
{
[code]....
My problem: when the button is clicked it just starts the button over again.

I have a movie Clip on my main timeline and with in that movie clip is a button. That button has a CLICK event that I want o go back and refer to a "frame" on the main time line. How would I go about doing that?
Here is what I thought I should do
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
WebSitesBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,WebDesignBtnClick);
function WebDesignBtnClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
_parent:gotoAndStop("Web Design");
}
"Web Design" is the Frame Label which I want to refer too
what I am missing or how I can properly refer to the main time line?

I'm pretty new to flash and i'm trying to figure out how to hide a button that is on the main time line in one part of my movie clip. I tried doing "btn_return.visible = false" on the mc but its coming back saying btn_return is undefined.

I am so frustrated now - I'm trying to clean up my code, but I just don't understand this issue.
I understand that on(release)[code]...
- But there are two things I just don't manage to convert;
1) How do I move the following from the btn_volumeSlider to the main-timeline?[code]...

I have a movieclip inside the OVER on a button, right now I have an animation that causes the button's brightness increases from 0 to 10 over 24 frames and then come stops because of a stop (). I now intend to add an animation after stop () which gets the button's brightness goes back to 0 again when you no longer hold the mouse over the button. I would therefore like to make some kind of mouseOut event that allows Movieclip go to the next frame. I have tried to insert a target path but it seems that it can't reach the movie clip inside the button.

I'm in the process of designing this site as a portfolio for my art and am in the process of creating and laying out the galleries. My idea was to create movie clip animated buttons that would react to the roll over stuff. I got that part to work the way I wanted it. But now, I can't seem to figure out how to put a "Gotoandplay" type of code on the buttons so that the timeline would jump to the appropriate frame and play. (I put an "on(release) gotoandplay" on it the way I would put it on a button but it never responds. I have a couple of buttons that work fine with a "geturl". so I thought a "gotoandplay" would work fine. If this can be figured out in a way that I can easily use it for all buttons with just the frame number needing alteration, that would be best. After you click the splashpage door jpg, there will be a piece of paper on the floor. That is a button which should trigger the animation that starts at frame 114. When clicked, the page lifts up and spread open to two pages. But it never reacts

I have a Flash project which has about 90% of its code in the first frame, on a layer called 'actions'. the remeainder of the code is attached to several buttons throughout the project. I want to take the code attached to the buttons, and paste it into the first frame, 'actions' layer. what I want to know is how to do it, and still have the buttons function properly. This is in AS2, and will eventually be converted to AS3, when I get all the working code on the first frame. I don't know how to reference it, from the first frame of 'actions' layer.

I have a thumbs_mc with thumbnail images. Within thumbs_mc, I have a transparent overlay_mc that functions as a button. Mouse over the overlay_mc and the alpha chages so there is a tint over that particular thumbnailWhen overlay_mc is clicked, the main timeline goes to a particular frame label.What I need to do is have the position of the playhead on the main timeline also determine the alpha of the overlay_mc so the viewer knows which thumbnail is playing.

as always, this seemed simple in AS2, but i am stumped with this simple command in AS3.
i have a main timeline [one scene] that has multiple movies, one after each other, in different frames. i need the buttons that are placed in a layer below the movies to access various movies in the scene. was really simple in AS2.
it appears that i can get my button to go to the frame, but the movie contained in the frame will not load and or play. [i have 2 frames dedicated to each movie, the second frame, in the actions layer has a stop command]. the following is the actionscript and the errors i am getting.
AS3:
food_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playfood);
function playfood(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("food");
}

I have a stop on my main timeline. At the stop I have a movieclip play. In the movieclip I will have a video play. After the video plays I have a button for the user to continue play until the end of the movieclip. Once the movieclip is done I want to resume back to a specific frame in my main timeline.

I have a btn within a Movieclip at a certain keyframe the user is asked if they want to go back to make another selection from a choice category (within the maintimeline)
As of now the code I have for the btn that jumps you back to the main timeline is:
on (press) { gotoAndStop(_root.stop(24));}
Does _root.stop(24) need to be in quotes?
ie. "_root.stop(24)"

I am trying to do a simple thing in theory. In my main timeline I have a series of images with frame labels for each. In a movieclip (with its own labels) below the images, I have two panels of butttons that flop back and forth (to save space). The idea is to simply have the maintime play the frame specified by the corresponding button in the movieclip. [code]...

I got one movieclip with several buttons and another movieclip where i use: this.loadMovie("news1.swf"); What Id like to do is, if its possible, to do, on the main timeline, assign, to the buttons what news.swf to load into the other movieclip where i load it. So i can assign one button to load news1.swf and another load news2.swf.
