ActionScript 2.0 :: Control External Swf Buttons?
Jul 24, 2004
I have a dynamic txt frame in my main swf.When buttons are selected,text from an external txt file loads into the text frame.This all works fine.What I would like to do is be able to load an external swf into an empty MC and then be able to dictate what the buttons on the external swf do (such as load text).The last line of the below AS is my attempt to path to a button that is on an external swf
//_root.1.noiseaudio.easing.theText.sad.onPress = function () {
loadTxt(path+"sad")
}//
but that didn't work.start here. This is on a frame on the _root swf.
System.useCodepage = true
path = "text/";
loadTxt=function(path){[code]...........

I have embedded a flv video into my timeline, it uses the flv playback component to play and the SteelExternalAll.swf skin. I would like to control this flv using buttons that I have created that are postioned next to the video player. Ideally, these buttons would be thumbnails, similar to chapter thumbnails on DVDs and would serve a very similar function. As these thumbnail buttons are always present, I want them to change while the movie plays, I think a border around the currently playing would suffice.
The video is nearly 3 mins long, I have made cue points from Sorenson Squeeze.

Is it possible to control a movie clip in an externally loaded swf from a button in your main swf? I have 4 buttons in my main swf. In the externally loaded swf there are 4 movie clips all with their alha set to 0. What i'm trying to do is when the user clicks button 1, movie clip 1 one the external swf changes its alpha to 1. Then if you press button 2, movie clip 1's alpha returns to 0 and movie clip to 2's alpha changes to 1.
The, buttons need to be in the main swf as there are over 20 externally loaded swf all with 4 movie clips and I cant make those four buttons in each swf and also, the 4 buttons are intergrated into the graphics on the moan swf.

I have a movie which is made up:
Level0= my interface layout with buttons
Level1= the different sections of the site, are loaded into this level (eg. home.swf, aboutus.swf etc.)
Because each of these sections has both an 'in' and 'out' transition, i want to use variables (on the buttons) to control these external movies that are loaded into the main movie (im even starting to confuse myself
basically in a nutshell... can you use buttons which control a movie ,which has been loaded at another layer, using variables....

Does anyone know how I could control a buttons link using xml? That way the link could be changed anytime without having to open the flash source file and re-export the movie.

I spent almost a week trying to figure out how to unload a currently loaded swf using its button and loading a new swf... I have three files, a main.fla, file1.fla and file2.fla. In my main.fla, I have a code which loads the other two files. If i will click the "unload" button in the file1.swf, I would like the main.fla to unload the file1.swf and load the other file, file2.swf. Here is the code to load the file1.swf:

I am creating a game where the user can control the character either by left or right keyboard buttons or by clicking on a left of right movielcip buttons. Currently, I can control the character using the keyboard but I cannot figure out how to add the MC button control. Here is my current code attached to the character_mc:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.background_mc._x<=-3620) {
_root.background_mc._x = -3620;
[Code].....
Can I add another listener for either movieclip button (left_btn_mc, right_btn_mc) to the above code, or do I need to add the code to the each movieclip button?

i'm trying to control the depth of some buttons which are all pretty close, and on mouse over, each buttons gets bigger (150% more or less), the problem comes when i want to control the depth in order to place the rollovered button above it's neighbours.... guess it could be done by actionscript...here is a link i found that explains how to do that, i'm quite beginner in flash and it is too much level for me, eventhought i've reatten it carefully.

The AS3 script below is a cross-fade that is time-based with no user control. How do I keep the cross fade and control it with the "before" and "after" buttons? And with the API opening in its "before" state? And for users to be able to click and/or hover between the two. The link to what I'm trying to set up is:
http:[url].....The code is:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;[code].....

I need 6 buttons to control the same array. it's a list of 12 things.
Button1 loads the first image in the array
Button2 loads to the next image in the array
Button3 loads to the previous image in the array
Button4 loads the 1st image in the array (yes two buttons to do the same thing but it's necessary)
Button5 loads the 4th image in the array
Button6 loads the 7th image in the array
Button7 loads the 9th image in the array.
on top of that if no button is pressed the next image in the array moves forward after 15 seconds.how to do this with a set of images. Eventually the Array will become an xml document which accesses images, and two text fields.

I'm aiming to create a website that works just like this one[url]...
I want similar features, ie; rotating and expanding text controlled by mouse events and drop downs.
I'm not concerned about the drop downs currently, but for all I can think of right now, I am trying to figure out the best way to complete this task, and the code (AS3) that would be needed.
I've come up with a few thoughts (forgive me as I'm only moderate at Flash- can code, remember most of it, understand it, but can't always come up with the solution off the top of my head)

I have a scene with a voice over. I have split the voice over in to multiple sound files (mp3). The voice over plays correctly as long as you don't use the btns. When the forward btn is used the the file goes to the correct frame in the timeline but won't play the sound. Next issue, after pausing then using play the scene plays but without sound.

For some reason I can not get any Flash document to allow buttons to control movie clips. I might have a coding error or something is wrong with my system. I've got an interactive map with the counties of a state as buttons. The buttons control a movie clip that runs info on each county. I have some other variables and things going on and figured that might have something to do with it. So I just created a test file with 1 movie clip and 1 button.
The movie clip has a stop action on frame 1 and frame 5. It is just a box that is different colors per frame.I've tried several methods and I'm not getting a result from anything. This is an AS 2 file.Button has an instance name of btn and the movie clip is mc. There is only 1 frame in the main timeline.First method was adding the script to the button. This didn't work...
on (press) {
mc.GotoAndPlay(5);
}
Second Method, I placed the actions on frame one of the main timeline.
btn.OnPress = function() {
mc.GotoAndPlay(5);
}
That didn't work either. I even made a AS 3 file and used a Mouse Event, this didn't work either. I have older files that have the same code and do work, but no new files I create with work. I haven't been working in flash for about 2 years, so I might be missing something due to the rust in my brain.
Thoughts?

This is quite complex, in simple English, I have some folders (mc's) which I need to enter the stage when a button is clicked, when a different button is clicked I need the previous folders to animate out, before the new ones animate in! The folders feature there own functions and animations, which are viewable when clicked (they bring in external imagery and text)?

I'm just getting into learning ActionScript, I'm using 2.0 for the time being. Anyways, I know how to get clicking buttons to control the sound, but mostly that has just been a matter of muting with the "stopallsounds" function. What I wanted to know is if it is possible to get the keyboard to set the volume at 20%. For example, when you him the "down" arrow key, it goes down to 20% volume automatically.
