ActionScript 2.0 :: Button - Play It In "inactive" State When The User Clicks Anything Else
Apr 11, 2005
I have buttons (transparent) and little mc animations (tweened the good old fashioned way) that play underneath them on onPress.What I want to do is make it so that when you press say "Home" the animation will stay in the "on" position until you click something else, anything else. That is to say, I want to say "This button just got clicked, play the animation, keep it in the "active" state while the user is looking at the page, and play the "inactive" state when the user clicks ANYTHING else."Right now, I've coded each individual button like this:
I am new to actionscript 3. I have created buttons with up/over/down states. The button changes colour during the over/down frames.How do I keep the over or down state active until the user clicks another button?
Right now when the user puts the mouse over the buttons, they change colour, but it goes back to the original colour once they click off. I would like it to remain on the changed colour so that the user remembers which button s/he's pressed until the another one is clicked.I came up with the following code in actionscript 3 and got it to partially work:
So when it's in the down state, I get the transparent state and stays there. But how do I get it back to normal when the user clicks on another button?
Using the tutorials on the gotoandlearn main page I built a custom video player that loads the videos from an xml file and it works great. At present the video starts playing as soon as the video opens, I would like the video to only start playing after the user clicks the play button.
I have a problem with a dynamic video player that I have created in flash. The video player is "SCORM" compliant so that when the user clicks the "exit" button a class file is called to mark the user complete in an LMS.I have tested the SCORM Code previously and it works with out issue. Usually I have the completion code embedded in an Actions Layer of the movie. This is the first time I have attempted to call the completion status in a class file, I have added a "trace statement" when the movie is tested within flash it runs the trace statement properly, but when uploaded to the LMS environment the course does not complete properly
I'm converting some old Director/Shockwave animations to Flash, and I'm setting up a navigation system. I have a simple animation that runs from from 1 to frame 110, and I'd like it to loop until the user clicks a button. The timeline goes on beyond frame 110 with other stuff. In an "actions" layer in frame 110, I have the following
gotoAndPlay(1);
I thought that this would lead to the looping, but it doesn't. The movie just moves on beyond frame 110. Just as a test, I put the following at frame 110 instead.
stop();
and when I test the movie, it doesn't stop. The commands don't seem to be seen.
I have a 400 x 300 video on frame 20 when a user clicks a button named double_btn I want them to go to frame 21 with the video still playing but double the size. Any ideas on how to do this?
I have a portfolio_mc that is inside of a content_mc (stage->content_mc->portfolio_mc). There are 3 buttons that take the user to an appropriate frame designated by a frame label and this loads up an FLV. The problem is that when I click on any of the navigation buttons on the main timeline, the FLV that is currently playing, is still playing (I can hear the audio). How to stop this.
Here is the code used for controlling the buttons in the motion_mc timeline: stop(); var naviArr:Array = new Array(btn01, btn02, btn03); btn01.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate); btn02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate); btn03.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate); [Code] .....
I have an opening screen which asks the user to enter the first name and then they click the "start" button.This then loads an external swf into it and it starts a quiz on a timer.All that works except that the timer starts sometime during opening swf.I'm not sure if it's when the main swf is loaded or if when the user clicks in the input box but it is definitely not when the user clicks the "start" button like I have programmed.I even tried to stop the timer until the user clicks a button on the second swf (the external swf that is loaded into the main swf)[code]In the loaded swf I have a clock_mc that holds the timer.the first frame has a simple stop(); and the second holds all of the code that makes the clock run.I then have code setup so that when the user clicks a button the clock_mc.gotoAndPlay(2)[code]
I am using an array to load flvs when a user clicks a button, however the scrubber (seek bar) doesn't reset back to the beginning of the next video and the play button turns to a pause (meaning the user has to notice that and click the play button, which I don't want them to have to do). Is there a reset function that I can use for the seek bar and a way to keep the play button on and not switch itself to pause?
I have a few flv component instances on different frames. When you click a navigation button the current flv should stop and it takes you to a new flv on a different frame. But the previous one keeps playing. How do I stop the current one playing when the button clicks?
I have a movie that i want to close when the user clicks a button, i know to use the fscommand(), but i duno what to put inside the brakets:S. i tyred 'close', 'close.screen','scree.close','unloadMovie'...etc but notings working, what im supposed 2 put in there?
What I want to achieve is active links like in HTML websites.I have 3 buttons on the stage, when the user clicks on the first button it should be highlighted and should remain in that position till the user clicks on the next button. When he clicks on the 2nd button the previous one should come in normal state and the 2nd one should become highlighted and so on....
I have a textbox and a button on the stage and what i want is, when the user clicks on the button the font in the textbox to be changed. This is the code I have, but nothing is happening when I click the button.
SinFont is the embedded font.
Code: btnChange.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, changefont); function changefont(event:MouseEvent):void[code].....
I'm using some modified code from a chapter exercise (from a text book) to play four separate MP3s external to the FLA. Here's an example of what happens when a button is clicked:
[Code]....
The problem is, there's something of a noticeable stutter when the MP3 reaches the end, just before it starts up again. The first MP3 (contrary to the others), is a seamless ambient sound which ought to sound perfect in the FLA, but doesn't, again, because of the slight stutter in starting it up again. Is there a better way to do this? I thought, perhaps, this would be fixed if I removed the "stop();" line and instead had it play the next frame, which would invariably send it back to the previous one, but this changed nothing.
Is there a better method to use? Even with the other three MP3s, which aren't seamless, I want to loop, unless and until the user clicks the 'Mute' button. My last thread (about setInterval)received no replies, but I'm hoping this will, especially as this final project is due this Wednesday and I'd rather it not have this slight hiccup in it.
I've been working creating an interactive display map for a client. I've figured out the controls I'd like to use for moving the map, but I'm having trouble with the zooming features. What I'd like to do is have the user click on the "+" button to zoom in and the "-" button to zoom out. The problem is the map is not centered when the user clicks either button?
I am trying to create a little website in flash.. I have some video that plays automatically once the user goes to that section (I am using frame labels to navigate from section to section of the site). But, when the user clicks another button to go to a different page, the video is still playing because I hear it..How can I stop the video from playing once another button gets clicked?
This seems like someting I should already know but I am working on a user interface that I want to be skinable. I have about 8 different graphical elements and I want to change the appearance of these 8 different movieClips just by clicking a single button. I thought I would just create a new keyframe in my main time line and then manipulate the movieClips but that changed the appearance of the movie clip on frame 1 as well. Clarification: I want to change the color of my user interface background and I want to change the color of some clickable images as well. I want frame 1 to have a white background and I want frame 2 to have a red background. Do I need to create more movie clips and drag them onto my stage or can I just use the existing movieClips since all I really want to do is change colors?
I am building a flash application using flex. From time to time, I see an issue in IE 7 and 8 where the user logs into the site and the browser content pane is completely grey and the entire page (html, javascript and flash) won't load until the user clicks the X (Stop) button next the address bar. As soon as the X is clicked, the html loads and then the swf file loads immediately.
This doesn't happen for me or any other developers on the project so it is very hard to diagnose. The users are all using the latest flash player. The only difference between our setups that I can think of is that we have the debug version of flash player and they probably do not.
I am trying to duplicate a movie for a bullet hole when the user clicks a button hole is sapposed to appear but its not working. here is the code I have inside my bullet hole
onClipEvent(load){ i = 0 } onClipEvent (mouseDown) {[code].......
I would like to specify which page a user is on by having the button on the rollover state. For example, on the products page, I would like the products button to be in the rollover state. I can't figure out how I would do this. Below is the code from the as file.
I have been trying to make a score counter for a small game where the user clicks on a button on the stage, each time the user presses the button the score increments by 10, however I cannot get the score to display on the dynamic text field.
var score:uint; //scoreCounter is the instance name of the dynamic text box function updateScore():void{ score += 10; scoreCounter.text = score.toString(); }
I have an arrayCollection with the following structure:
[Code]...
the AC is defined as follows:[Bindable] private var projectErrorsAC:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection;
I'm using this AC in a repeater to display each error. After each error is shown, I've placed an "Accept" and "Deny" button. Once the user clicks either one of these buttons, I'd like to call a function that removes the particular error from the AC. Here's what I have so far:
I am trying to acomplish a very simple task with AS 3 with no results. I have a simple time line with a stop button. All I want to do is to stop the play head wherever the viewer clicks the button, and then to start again from there when the button is clicked again.
I am writing an application for my students which plays music when buttons are pressed.I made the buttons myself and they have 4 states in 4 colors.The rollover and mousedown states work okay but I would like the button to hold its 'hit' or "mousedown" color while the sound plays, and then return to its normal state. This way, while the sound plays, the student will see its connection to the button label (rather than a screen full of buttons in the same state/color)
