I have the following code to control the rollOver, rollOut and release states from my buttons (btn_company, btn_products, btn_services and btn_enquiry):
Code:
for (var i in this) {
if (this[i]._name.substr(0, 4) == "btn_") {[code]...
I also have 4 movieclips (title_company, title_products, title_services and title_enquiry) which I also want to control with those buttons. When btn_company is pressed, title_company should go to frame 2, When after that btn_products is pressed title-products should go to frame 2 and title-company should go back to frame one.
I'm trying to create flash rollovers for buttons that play the full rollover animation even if you roll of it, and if you stay on it if will play once and not keep repeating. The rollover animation is only short, about 2 seconds, but which ever way I try it I can't get it to play the full clip if you roll off, either that or it will play the full clip but keep repeating if you keep the mouse on it.
At the moment it is just a movieclip in a rollover keyframe of a button.This has stumped me for years. Other sites seem to do it fine (off the top of my head the 4 menu rollovers at the bottom of http:[url].... do it - if you rollover each one left to right in one go they do a kind of Mexican wave) but I just can't see a way of doing it.
I Have this code:
this.map_fade.map.image.tar_total.btn_bp_035.onRollOver = function() {
_root.map_fade.map.zoom.zoomer_txt_right.text = ("xxxxx");
trace("over");
}
this.map_fade.map.image.tar_total.btn_bp_035.onRelease = function() {
trace("release");
}
The strange thing (for me ) is that the on RollOver works and the on Release does not.
This must be a very basic question, but I'm lost on it.The premise is simple. OnRollOver button 'A' gets color 'X', onRollOut button 'A' gets color 'Y', onRelease button 'A' gets color 'Z'.Now, ofcourse, when a button gets pressed, it gets a highlight color. But as soon as the user rolls out, the onRollOut part kicks in a changes the color back to 'Y', while it should remain at 'Z' as long as no other button is clicked.This is a very basic problem, but I'm still asking. Is there a way to solve this easily? Do I need to start using booleans and if statements to fix this?
View 9 RepliesStuck a random load swf script on main timeline:

Then on each but the appropriate code - this is for button 3:

if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "work3";

When the flash is loaded it loads in the SWF randomly fine. BUT!... when I go to select another item from the menu, I need to select the button for work1.swf first before I can then go select button for work2.swf load...
i have a problem with a rollover animation stopping at it's 'on' state on release. i have a movie clip that fades text up from 0% at keyframe 1 to 100% at keyframe 10 and back down to 0% at keyframe 19. i have an invisible button above this with the following:

the visible bit is to turn off the invisible button on release. the problem is that with the following code, all that happens is the movie plays out from 11 on release. i want it to stop at keyframe 10 (where it is).
I've got this following scripts to create button through action script. However during onrollover/onrelease, the text (button name) is dissapear.Here's the code:

As part of my brief, I have to create a small flash movie that will load a random quote (which is actually a jpeg image), fade it in to view, display it for a length of time (probably only 3-5 seconds), fade it out and then load another random quote. Is this possible to do, purely using actionscript? I can randomly load an image - I used the "Random Background Image" tutorial on this site - but getting the fading/pausing/fading then moving to another quote has got me stumped.
The images are imported into their own swf file that is loaded into a placeholder movie on the html page. I tried adding in a for loop to the individual swf and the placeholder movie, to loop through alpha property of the image (just to fade up for the moment, till I get it working) - but this didn't work at all. I could use tweens for the fading, but this could end up a mess and more work than it needs to be as there could be quite a lot of quotes added over time.
I'm making a slide menu that loads a xml file and creates buttons dynamically. Another functionality it has a sliding menu also, and I can't stop it. Heres goes the zip file, which contains .fla and .xml files. What I want to do is when I put the mouse at the top of the mask, the menu stops on the first option, and when I put the mouse at the bottom, the menu stops on the last option. Is it possible? [URL]
View 3 RepliesI am having trouble with a job I am doing at the moment which has an mc with buttons within it. I want it so that when I roll over the mc it tweens from a small version to a larger version, and on this mc there are some buttons. At the moment I can get the mc to move but the buttons remain inactive and also the rollover states on the buttons don't work. I have attached a simpler version of what I am trying to do to this post.
View 3 RepliesI'm currently working on a flashsite and are trying to figure out rollover menu buttons. The site has 6 menu buttons and are placed next to each other. I want to put a rollover action on the buttons, that when you rollover a button that the whole button image enlarges and moves in front of the other.
View 1 RepliesI'm creating a menu system, the text buttons should, on rollover, move all buttons to the left (of the button currently rolled over) 100 pixels, in the gap created a sub menu running vertically will appear which will break into a 2nd horizontal submenu etc. I'm still in the early stages, and have hit a stumbling block, I placed a trace (this); cmd in root of the roll over function then again in each segement of the IF/ELSE loop inside that fuction. The trace CMD in the root of the rollover gives me the feed back _level0.btn1 or 2 or what ever button I have rolled over but the ones inside the IF/ELSE loop all say _level0.btn0 regardless of the button I roll over!

What I'm trying to do is create buttons in one swf that load another swf and also give instructions to begin playing from a certain frame in that swf. The target swf has a preloader on frame 1 and then a movie clip that contains a video in frame 2. Depending on which button the user presses the video will be cued up ready to play at different frames. I think it may need an if statement ie if x=34 then goto frame 34, but I can't seem to pass the variables to the loaded swf. In the zip file is an example of what I'm trying to do.
View 11 Repliesi used kirupa's [URL].. tutorial to create a movie with buttons that load external movies and works seamlessly.
my problem is that i want to do the same thing on the external movies that are loaded so to be able to load new external movies on top of them. it does not work and i know its because of the _root script that gets messed up when a new movie is loaded. it has to become _parent or smthing but i can't seem to be able to make it work..
I have been really strugling getting my buttons working. I have one scene that have multiply buttons that shows from time to time on the timeline. My needs is that each buttons when released goes to an specific frame number (label) waits for 5 sec and then continue playing the scene from were it did stop and wait.
I have mamage to make the first buttons work, but when scene changes to the rest of the buttons on the timeline nothing happends. I have tried to place actionscript on an actionlayer (timeline), also tried to apply actions to each button. Same problem. I use actionscript 2. All buttons have instance name, and they shuffle, meaning that they show and dont show depending were on the timeline you are. This is for an adult site, so I am not sure that it is allowed to post an link to the flash scene.
I searched the internet and this forum but can't seem to find a logical answer to how to best set this up.
So inside my sliderMC clip I have the sliderScrubber.
Inside the sliderMC, I also have 4 mcs labeled "mc1", "mc2", "mc3", "mc4".
I have noted down the x position of each mc, but am not really sure how to use it in code? Also, how would I be able to calculate "sliderScrubber" to snap to the closest x value to each mc upon release?
How would I go about being able to slide along the x and perform the above functions?
I have:
ActionScript Code:
sliderMC.sliderScrubber.onPress=function(){
this.startDrag();

I wanna have a btn that when pressed will create a download prompt,to what what ever file i want,
View 4 RepliesI have three buttons on screen that navigate to different places on the timeline. I have set them all up as buttons using a generic button in the library and then given them all different instance names. I selected the button and changed the text colour for each state in the timeline (up, over, down) to keep it simple. The buttons are all, as far as I can analyse, identical in all but instance name.
When I test the movie, the first button changes text colour on 'over' and, when I click (i.e. down state) the colour changes again as designed. The navigation action doesn't occur until I release the mouse button, giving the feel of having 'clicked' the button.
With the other two buttons, which have been set up as far as I can tell in exactly the same way, when the down state occurs, I see a momentary flash of the text colour change and it performs the nav straight away. I really want it to perform the same way as the first button but cannot for the life of me see why they're behaving differently.
I have an AS 2 movie that has tons of navigation. When the movie first loads, the main screen plays an animation and stops. That animation is my main menu. If a user clicks the home button (which is an MC instance) it takes him to the Home Movie and plays. From here, I need to be able to fade out that movie and fade in a new movie when the user clicks on the next button. So, I want to create a variable on(release) of the button thats within the Home MC that will play the fade out and then be directed to the next animation.I imagine something like this.
buttonA == false;
on(release){
buttonA = true;

View 11 RepliesI've been looking at this code now for months and I am just not understanding why I cannot seem to get this to work. I have a gallery that loads in a series of thumbnails. What is supposed to happen is that you click on a thumbnail and a larger image of that thumbnail appears. At the same time a second thumbnail image loads in a different movieClip while simultaneously loI can get everything to load correctly initially, but when I click to view any other thumbnail only the larger image loads. The data in the XML file doesn't seem to load the secondary thumbnail or the dynamic text fields. I have included my .fla file and also my xml file. I am hoping someone can take a look and tell me what I've done wrong so I can try and make this work

View 2 RepliesI will try to make this as sysinct As possible. I'm working in Flash CS4, AS 2 and I'm trying to make an online image gallery/portfolio but I'm having trouble making an image appear when I release the button. (I've uploaded the fla if you want to look). Basically, I have a movie clip that will contain all my thumbs and that enters the stage with this action script:
onClipEvent (load) {
_root.xnew = _root.mask._x + (-9-1)*100/2 ;
}

I made the first 3 squares into buttons: imgbtn1, imgbtn2, imgbtn3
I've tried loading the images into an empty movie clip a hundred different ways and I've also tryed writing action script for the button to just play at a certain frame to show a picture but I have not really gotten anywhere.
Essentially I would like for the thumbs to swoop in as they do and for the user to click a thumb and for that thumb to dynamically load a photo in the center of the stage.

Underlined Text On (rollOver) Is there an action script to do on (rollover) underline text? It would be on a button that would also, on (release) gotoAndPlay a frame. I know you can have a movie with AS like this:

But when I add the on (release) to the movie it doesnt advance the timeline on (release). And when I change the file to a button instead of a movie clip it doesnt do the underline on (rollOver).
