View 2 RepliesI am using code from a tutorial that I downloaded to get an Home.swf to preload in my "index" page.the problem is that a part of the code reads
movie1_btn.onPress=function(){
startPreload ("Home.swf");
}
which means that I have to create a button to get the .swf file to load, how do I edit this code so that the action begins on it's own at that frame?
class myClass
{
private static var thisClass;
[code].....
class myClass
{

here's my code
createEmptyMovieClip("myMC",0);
// load a jpg
myMC.loadMovie("myImg.jpg")

I wondering if there is a way to cancel a button's onPress action.For example on my button I have the following:
Code:
on (press) {
startDrag(this, false, 384, 2.5, 384, 70.5);
}
[code]....
However if you press the button and roll out with your mouse button still held down it will continue to drag even after you release the mouse button. It then won't stop dragging until you roll over and then out of the button.
To correct this I was wondering if there is a way to call the on(Press) action and stop it OR to activate the on(release) or on(rollOut) actions OR a way to activate "stopDrag();" when the user rolls out even if they are still holding the mouse button down.
I have a scrolling navigation bar and two buttons on either side to move it left and right. I created functions to handle moving the navigation MC left and right, and they work just fine.
My problem is, I'm trying to set my buttons up using onPress, like this:
function ScrollForward()
{
// function contents
}
[Code]....
The problem is, when I create the .swf, the functions placed in the onPress events automatically run. And neither button triggers the "onPress" events. I have removed the last two lines with the onPress events and the functions do not run, so the way I've set them up is obviously wrong.
The problem is obviously the onPress lines because the functions do not run without those lines, and if I simply put the full function within the onPress event rather than separate, they both run correctly. I want to call these functions elsewhere, so I don't want to simply include them solely within the onPress event.
I`m working on a presentation template....Powerpoint really sucks! I`m gettin along ok, with fullscreen, presentation mode etc. However, the classic click and goto next slide aint working so good. yet. I`ve been trying to set som sort of action: onPress.Nextframe but it is not working. Also, I`m trying to create the reverse fx, let`s say when I hold down shift (for example) and then click - the "presentation" should play backwards.
View 4 RepliesI have a set of 5 text buttons that I want to alter slightly with actionscript. An OnClip event moves the 5 text buttons onto the screen, then each button has a stop action as well as an OnPress/OnRelease that rotates it from black text to blue text and rolls back to black text again. I just need it to be black text to blue and stop when the viewer clicks the link to go to an HTML page.
How would you code it so that the text button rolls from black to blue and stays BLUE for the selected HTML page as long as the user is on it, letting them know where they are in the site's navigation. The sample code from button 1 is below:

i have a buttons name list1, list2, list3 .... and so on and movieclips playlist1 , playlist2 .. and so on basically what i want to do is assign same action in the buttons, the code above is what i did and it doesn't work
I am creating a dynamic group of buttons based on a string that i pass to flash file. There is no problem creating these buttons (that I do duplicating a movieclip from my library) The question is, that i need these buttons to open another page, all buttons the same, but passing a parameter. How can i assign the action to my buttons?
My frame 1 code is at this moment:
for (i=0; i<totalItems; i++) {
_root.attachMovie('loader', 'imageLoader'+i, getNextHighestDepth());
_root['imageLoader'+i]._x = 132*(i);
_root['imageLoader'+i]._y = 1;
_root['imageLoader'+i].imageLoader.loadMovie(_root['img'+i]);
}
The string that flash receives is something like
totalItems=3&img0=pic01.jpg&id0=01&img1=pic02.jpg& id1=02
and the parameter i want to pass to the new page is the value of 'id'.

First, click on the Abaco island shape on the map. You'll see on rollOver there is a glow around the island. Now click on that island and the glow remains for the zoomed-in detailed view. When you return to map and zoom back out, the glow is removed.
Now, compare this with clicking on the island name "Abaco" from the list on the right, instead of clicking directly on the island from the map. It zooms in and shows the details fine, but the glow that should be there is not.
The reason this problem is very perplexing for me, is that the onPress action of the list button in the right column calls the onPress function of the map button. So, theoretically they should do the EXACT same thing when pushed. But clearly they don't.
Here is the code for the button from the list on the right panel:
Code:
listAbaco_mc.onRollOver = function() {
_root.map_mc.abaco_mc.button_btn.onRollOver();
};
[Code]....
There is more code, for example rollOver, rollOut, and Press actions for the other island buttons, but they are all of the exact same format as the Abaco island button and they all have the same problem.
So, to recap, the problem is that the list button in the right panel do not function properly onPress, even though they are calling the onPress function of the island buttons directly, and the island button onPress function works perfectly. Strangely, all but one little thing works. So it's obviously getting to the correct functions and going through the code as planned, yet that one part about the glow is being ignored or otherwise messed up.
Code:
_root.navigationMC.onPress = function() {
startPreload("blue.swf");
}
If I wanted to change an action from a button click to a frame-based action, what do I use instead of onPress? The hints from the AS editor are all click-based.
I have a slideshow that is looped ... it contains 5 slides.I am using a gotoandPlay action to control the slide show.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
}
There is a fade transition between slides.When a button is released ... I want to gotoandPlay (frame 98) ... and then have it stop 10 frames later on (frame 108). Frame 98 includes the transition ... if I just gotoandStop on frame 108 ... I loose the transition.Is there any way to incorporate a stop action, after a gotoandPlay action on my button ... without naming instances etc.I.E.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
STOP ON FRAME 108 INTEGRATED HERE
}
Everything I have attempted is not working.
I just want to make a simple button action using actionscript 2 but I can't get it to work! I'm sorry for even asking but I've been at this for too long now for it to not work I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 and I do the following --
File -> New Flash File (ActionScript 2.0)
Insert -> New Symbol
Name - test
Type - button
Export for ActionScript
Identifier - test
And then draw it in using the keyframes and add the code to 'Actions - Button' for my button
Code:
on(release) {
trace("trace");
}
I click on the button and it animates but no action event in the trace?
How can I get an action to follow another action when a button is clicked? When a button is clicked, I want the timeline to go to a certain frame and play and when it's done playing, to go to another frame and play. I basically want two actions in one function.
