im trying to dynamically create buttons...here's an example scenario -> off stage is a movie clip called "originalButton_mc"I want to use a loop to duplicate this movie clip 25 times, and each one should be able to perform a unique onRelease function ex.
Code:
for (i = 0; i<25; i++) {
var newButton_mc = originalButton_mc.duplicateMovieClip("button"+i, i+1);
newButton_mc._y = i*22;
newButton_mc._x = 10;
[code]....
the problem with the above code is that when I click my new buttons it always traces 25...because, clearly - my code is wrong, and the onRelease is getting rewritten for each button - hence its left with the last i ... 25.
I need to create 5 buttons which looks the same, and each one of them has a picture on it.
I created a button symbol, named it and created linkage to AS. I also created a MovieClip that holds the picture I want to put on top of the button and created a linkage.
Then in the code I create two instances and display them
I've been trolling through the forum and I've seen similar instances however I can't seem to get my head around how to make scripting work;What I'm trying to make is similar to an interface where users can input data into a list (myArray) should they need to remove information they can click the corresponding button to remove it, the current code is repositioning a button that's already on the field as opposed to creating a duplicate from the library
here's the full code: stop(); //hidden hyperlink to AR
Im having some trouble creating buttons from an xml file ive loaded in.. What i need it to do is create a button (movieclip with a onRollOver funciton) for every item that is in the XML file, ive tried this in the For loop but i cant get it to work..
Also is it possible to duplicate a text field and populate this each time with a field from the xml file as im having some difficulties targeting the name of the duplicate field? ive included my code below...
var arrImages:Array = new Array(); var info:Array = new Array(); var link:Array = new Array();
why this sort of, but doesn't work?I'm just creating a group of buttons using imported pictures without having anything in the library.Here's the code I'm using:
[AS]clipArray = []; posArray = []; for (var k = 0; k<3; k++) {
I'm looking for an AS3/XML parsing pro to help me with an issue I'm having. The following xml file loads 7 icons ("url") into an array. What I want to do is create an activestate using child ("activestate") that replaces the "url" icon when clicked. I have no idea what the best way to do this would be. I've tried everything. The reason for this application is if i decide to change up the content down the line I won't have to recode anything. Just update the icons.
xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <images> <image>
I thought I had a good hold on how to create buttons from a class, but my invis class will not return the button that is created to my fla. I have been able to access functions of invis class from my fla, even instantiate the object, but none of the button states carry over to the fla. If you can help I'd appreciate it. I placed the code below.
I've got a project that loads video clips and text via XML. I'm trying to add buttons but I am not sure how to code them. The problem is, I'm creating 4 transparent buttons over four dynamic text fields. In the XML doc I have 11 different sections or groups of content. Those text fields with the transparent buttons change when each video finishes and a new section is loaded.
What I want to do is get the changing value of any of those 4 buttons that I click while one of the sections is playing and load that new section. At first I thought I'd just check to see what the current section is that's playing and then if I click on the button that represents the next section I would increase the value+1. If I click on the button that's supposed to represent the third section from the current one then I would code the button, current section+3 and so on.
That would work fine but If I'm on section 9 in the XML and there's only 11 sections, I can't add "current section+3" because that would go to section 12 and there isn't a section 12. I would want it to go and load section 0.
I want to generate a mc for each rep with 6 text fields containg the 6 values for eash rep.So for this xml there would be 3 mc's with 6 text fields in each. This is one of my first times really diving in to xml parsing in Flash.
I can't get the code to "know" which of the dynamic thumbnails has been clicked (by "know", I mean return an index value, say 0 through 7 if there are 8 projects, that I can use to access that particular project in the array of 8 projects in the rest of the code)... So if the third movieclip thumbnail were clicked, I'd like "2" to come up somehow... I've tried this code, which is kind of lame, I know, based off of the idea of each of the thumbnail movieclips' names ending in their index number:
Code: //"this" is the button that was pressed; would return a string ending in //thumberMC_<number of whichever movieclip thumb was clicked> var: testString:String = this;
[code]....
Lastly, there's a dynamic textfield I'm trying to create that never shows up for some reason. Again, you could see in the FLA (in the "createDrawer" function around line 424).
I am using buttons with a dynamic textfield and a function to set the label for various different buttons:
public function setLabel(thisLabel:String) { visibleLabel.text = thisLabel; }
I set a label for each button:
btn_mc.button1.setLabel("2 | Al Sabkha Bus Station - Al Qusais Police Housing");
I have a dynamic textfield ... myText ... which I would like to use as a page title ... so once the button has been clicked, the dynamic textfield should update with the label of the button clicked.
I've been coding all day so my brain is a bit fried. I just came accross something I will need to address and I'm trying to figure out the best way to approach this following scenerio: I have a mirror graphic, inside the mirror I need to have a movieclip fade from one pic to another and loop or fade from one clip to another. Either the one clip has two pics inside or theuse two clips with one pic in each which is pretty easy to achieve but I need to have each pic when displayed be a button that when released will gotoAndStop in a frame inside the timeline.
I am creating next & previous buttons on my main scene. I have created a scrolling photo gallery as well as a random button to randomly select images. I have a photos layer that has 15 images tagged in the AS "img1" "img2".
Basically, i want 5 buttons in one scene to link on to different scenes. The buttons are images. I tried doing it and each button goes on to the next scene which is not what i want.I have converted the images as button symbols and added actionscript on each of them, but it just links on to the next scene instead of going to different scenes.[code]
I am making a bar of 4 different movie clip buttons in a row. Like "- - - -" and what happens is when you hover over them they expand and show content of what they are labeled. "info" hover over shows content. But the problem is, whenever let say hover over Contact, The "Info" title on the bar next to it will show. I'm unaware of how to make it so the "Content BOX" is above the rest of the hover links. All the hover links are all into one layer, in a movie clip. (So I can toggle the whole button bar from left to right.)
I want to make a site for my personal gallery and i'm asking you if there is another method to make my gallery, other that the one when the user click Back and Next to navigate through thhe images in the order that i chose. I want to create some buttons dynamically (so i will be able to add images to the gallery without replacing the SWF) and assign each of these buttons an on(release) or on(press) event handler that will show the image for that button
I'm using Flash CS3, Actionscript 2.0 and I'm trying to create buttons dynamically.I tried to follow the code in the link below. The code is correct for the most part but the only problem I have is that only the last button appears. For example, if I try to create 10 buttons, only the 10th button is created.
I'm creating buttons dynamically, but I want to add code also. something like (psuedo)[thumb + i].on Release = "_parent.thumb" + i + "Pressed()" can that work? I think I need targetMc?
So I have this loop generating buttons based upon how many entries there are in my XML:
Code: for (j=0; j < base.image.length(); j++) { trace(j); var newButton:imgButton = new imgButton();
[Code]....
Now I'm just wondering what the best way of assigning control to the buttons is (i.e. making them do something,). I'm wanting each created button to load a different image (defined in the xml) if that's of any use.
Do I need to add event listeners dynamically or something?

way to take the contents of an array, which is full of texttype, and use them to create a stack of buttons. Now the actual text I have in the array will change every time the program is run.
For example, let's say my array is ["apples","oranges","pears"] I want to create three buttons (in this example) so that it appears
apples oranges pears
and when you click on "apples", it takes you to the corresponding "apples" webpage ("_blank").
i have all my buttons on frame 2. im creating a real estate site and i have to have a couple links like HOME ABOUT BUYING SELLING CONTACT, the thing though is that in the BUYING and SELLING frames i want to add more sections and links but only on these 2 other parts of my site. when i code it and add new buttons to these sections though my movie plays over and over and over non stop. heres my coding...
FRAME 1 preloader
Frame 2 has a frame label of home and all the buttons on a diff layer, and AS3 on a different layer
Frame 3 has a frame label for about section
Frame 4 is my contact for example
so if i create a new button in the about frame label and just add the code to the working as3 code on frame 2 my movie just plays over and over and over again, and all i want it do do is act like the other buttons and go to a different frame label down in the time line. the only way i get it to work is if i have ALL my buttons on frame 2.
frame 1 my preloader frame2 home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onHome) function onHome(event.MouseEvent):void
[Code]....
i enter my btn code just like this and the buttons on frame 2 work but any new buttons i try and creat and put into different frames othere then frame label "home" aka frame 2 wont work
Thought I would give more info on my problem creating a button in Flash CS 4 AS 3. I have an intro page that users see when they type in my url. On the intro page I have a ENTER BUTTON that takes the user to my homepage and the enter button works fine. Here is the AS for the enter button:
Everytime when i want to create invisble button for banner....i run into same problem and don't remember how i FIX it.Now I clicked on FILL COLOR then i just can't create a RECTANGLE because it fill the retangle with color.I tried for NO STROKE n NO FILL then it won't created a RECTANGLE.I created the layer for BTN. Select the Rectangle tool in the Tools panel.Now NO STROKE then what do i have to do with FILL COLOR ...
After created the button with graphics.On Button Layer...UP show circle, OVER show blank,DOWN show square, HIT show black circle.Can you tell me it is OK because after I add layer for ActionScript still getting errors.I want to make sure i did right up to this point.
I'm ultimately trying to create a flash page for an html website that has a brief five-second animation during which 3 buttons fade in (buttons then become clickable after the animation is over).
The animation part is done. Right now, I am trying to get my movie to stop and hold on the last frame, where I want to add the 3 buttons that the user can click on to take them to one 3 different html pages of my website.
All instructions that I've found online have said to create a new layer for actions, insert a keyframe on the last frame of the movie, and add stop(); in the actionscript window. However, when I have the keyframe selected, my actionscript window says "current selection cannot have actions applied to it".
I definitely don't have any objects selected, just the keyframe.
You can see that I have the frame (a keyframe) that I want to insert a "stop" action selected in the Actions layer. This is the first frame in which the buttons exist, and from what I can tell, I need the clip to stop on the first frame of my buttons, after my animation is over. (Still figuring out how to get the buttons to work, but will address that later...)
im trying to create a button that will (once clicked) go to another .fla file .. can it be done ? searched everywhere can just find out how to create buttons that direct to a URL which i already knw how to do..
full sketch is ive created a flash video intro and at the bottom a button appears "enter" once clicked i need it to go to the main .fla file .
i'm developing a website for my client. Here is the test version [URL] will look like this:[URL]There will be a menu created dynamically from a XML file, after clicking a menu button a MovieClip with a photo and category description will show up.After clicking the button "View more" the MovieClip with description will be removed and MovieClips with category products will show up through a for-loop on XML products nodes from this category.
I can create the navigation menu, and maybe i will manage to create first MovieClip with the category photo and description but i don't have how to create those next MovieClips with products desciption after clicking the button "View more".
