View 5 RepliesI have an array of movieclip buttons that is a table of contents for a module. I am using a loop function to maintain their down state when clicked. All of the event listeners for each content heading in the table of contents are coded outside the loop and each one loads an external swf file (also in an array). I also have "next" and "previous" buttons that advance the external swf files being loaded but I also want the button array to move forward and highlight the next section. How do I advance the button array outside its loop function?

I'm keen to use movieclip instances instead of button instances, but I will have a lot of buttons. If I use MovieClips: Is there any way to avoid coding the rollover functions etc. for EVERY movieclip instance? - ie is there anyway to code the behaviours into the master Movieclip button (ie the way buttons have built in behaviours), rather than have to add multiple event listeners to every instance - just to get a rollover effect?

I have added a button to Lee's scroller * ; to the 'content' movie clip, inside the scroller. Testing the movie, Flash recognises the mouse click -and doesn't give me any compiler errors- however, the button doesn't function. I am guessing my code isn't well enough written to get the playhead to move within the main timeline, as it is embedded in a movie clip (the content mc) within another movie clip (the scroller mc), perhaps. Using AS3, what additional code do I need to add to what I already have written?
My code for the button:
// handle events for back to menu button ...
btnbacksmilejapan.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickJapanSmiletoMenu);
function clickJapanSmiletoMenu (evtObj:MouseEvent) {
//trace shows what's happening ... in the output window
trace ("The Japan Smile back toMenu button was clicked")
// go to the Menu
gotoAndPlay("scene two jpn");
}
I am trying to use a movieclip as a button so I can have animation on the mouseover. I have been unable to get the button to work to change to a different frame. I can make the movieclip open a browser window, but not jump to another frame.Here is the code that I have in the button:
<highlight>stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){

I have 6 radio buttons spilt into two groups of 3 and one normal button.The first group of radio buttons correspond to colour and the second to texture.My aim is for the user to be able to chose a colour, then chose a texture by use of the radio buttons, click on the normal button named 'create' which loads a corresponding jpg onto another part of the stage according to the colour & texture selection.I am totally stuck on how to code the buttons so this can happen.I'm sure there is an easy (ish) way for this to happen, but i'm no expert and haven't been able to find it or work it out.I've named each radio button individually, grouped the two sets of radio buttons for colour & texture and named the normal button.
View 6 RepliesI'm using flash for the first time to create my graphic design portfolio and I'm having trouble keeping the file size small, and can reduce it by (hopefully) doing the following:
My resume has a lot of classic tweens with alpha channels (to create fadein/fadeout effects) and as of right now, I need to create a separate layer of fadein, fadeout for each transition. IE: My resume to portfolio page needs one 20-frame transition, my portfolio page to resume needs a 20-frame transition, my 2nd page of my portfolio page to my biography needs a 20-frame transition, etc. It's getting out of hand.
I could easily remedy this by using a lot of separate fadeins fadeouts and then coding buttons to navigate from, say, frames 120-130 (resume fadeout) then go to frame 160-170 (biography fadein), then navigate to a static page. I'm not sure if this is possible, as my buttons would have to change functions each frame.
Another possible way is that currently for each button I have different layers in order to direct the button to different frames, and have placing hem in the same spot. I'm wondering if there's any way to have buttons go to separate frames on different frames, if you get what I mean (on frame 120 it'll go to 130, on frame 150 it'll go to 160 but still be the same button". Right now each button is coded with on release gotoandplay <frame>.
this is the scenario...
main timeline---> two movieclips
in one of the movieclips (which is navBar_mc) i have my buttons in a drop down menu. so it is one level deep i am guessing.in the other movieclip (content_mc) i have the content that is to be manipulated by pressing the buttons.what would the code look like to target the content? i know i have to go up a level and then address the sibling mc, but when my code looks like this....
-----same---up-----over------------down-------------target
-------|-------|-------|-----------------|-------------------|
------this.parent.content_mc.nestedcontent.nestedcontent
it finds the main timeline ok, but when i address the sibling mc on the same level, it gets lost.

I have a nested movie 1 layer down from main stage that has several navigation buttons that move to different main stage labeled frames. I get an 1120 error because I am somehow not calling them out on the script. I have named the instances..so that's not the problem. I think I just need to somehow direct the script to the nested location. If I move the buttons to the main stage I get no errors and it all works perfectly.

PHP Code:
loadMovie("swfs/home_text.swf", 1);
I want to add an action on a navigation button to unload that movie from main movie. I tried unloadMovie();, but no luck.
so i am working on some buttons that are arranged in a vertical group. When you click on one it expands pushing the others away, and collapsing when clicked again bringing them back together. I thinking it would be easiest to make each button how i want it, then have some code that keeps each button x pixels away from each other...make sense?

View 2 RepliesMaking buttons that open another url is easy enough, but for some reason I'm having a huge amount of trouble having a navigation button open new content on my website, such as moving from the Home content to the Menu content (the layout is static, only one small section filled with content changes.
I think the issue is that I can't figure out how to code it due to the fact that there are a good amount of nested movie clips, I'm not sure how to direct it to the place and frame I want.

I'm using CS4 with AS3 and have a little problem with my rewind and forward buttons. For the play and stop buttons it works fine with this script:
playButton.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, playButtonClick);
function playButtonClick (e:MouseEvent):void

play();

I get error messages.
All I need is to rewind and forward the movie about 50 frames and keep playing without stopping.
I have a sliding menu (who doesn't these days? ) at the bottom of my screen. When you mouse over the menu it pops up and as it does it triggers an animation of a moving object. The moving object starts "off screen", comes sliding in and comes to a rest in the middle of the menu. The object has buttons on it. What I'd like to do is when a user clicks the button it loads content onto the main stage. Then either after clicking the button or mousing off the menu the object animation will continue on it's merry way out of view (off the menu).Everything works great except I can't get the **** button to work!I'm thinking it's a path issue since I've done lots of buttons.So the button is now here:_root.slidingNav.animationMC.object.buttonand I've got the AS on the button:
on (release) {
_root.slidingNav.animation.gotoAndPlay(31);}
Is the button so buried that it's clicking options aren't available? I've never heard of that before but I'm still new so .
I want to have an object move towards the active button on a navigation. So if I click on a button, the object moves towards that button and stop there. Then if I click on another, it move towards it and stop.I looked online but I have a hard time finding the right words to find what I need..
View 3 RepliesI am just trying to write a small actionscript in Flash CS4 for a navigation button and I am really lost.

I installed a flash template. It has navigation buttons with a nice roll-over effect. The buttons are all located within a symbol called "menu" (it is a Movie Clip type symbol, not a Button type). Each individual button in the menu appear to be in its own separate layer, so the first button is in a layer called "item1, second button in "item2", and so on. I want to edit the link for the fourth button so it goes to another website but I can't seem to find the code to edit the link. I managed to find
[CODE]...
and this does work - upon pressing the button it goes to the website link. However, there is no more roll-over effect for this button. So there has to be an alternative or better way to editing the link for this button (without removing the roll-over effect).
How do I make a button created in CS4 flash open another page in my website?
I created the button in flash cs4 with a static state and a pulsing state on "Over" and "down" that works fine. I tried adding the following action to the button>
on (press) {getURL("aboutus.html?include=contact","_self");}
but nothing happens when I view it in live view. and all the pages exsist in the file. (Using Dreamweaver CS4 to build webpages.)
I have created a movieclip button which is animated for all the states I need (up, over, out, etc.) it's made up of text, which is in a movie clip where I have my animations created (actions layer with AS3 script, my txt movieclip layer, my hit layer) and then that is inside a movie clip in my main scene.Is it possible to copy that button, so then change the text, Actionscript, instance name, etc?I tried copying the layer (by selecting the frames and copying frames, and pasting to new layer) but when I make any changes, it changes both copies!
View 4 RepliesI have a photo gallery with a navigation button that allows for additional photo categories that I don't want to appear. Unfortunately, I can't open the .fla as it appears to have been created with a newer version of Flash. The code in the config.xml file is basically:

</menu 1>
<menu 2> <content>
</menu 2>
etc.
</navigation>
Is there a tag I can add to make the navigation link disappear?
