ActionScript 2.0 :: Defining Alpha Values Of Buttons
May 21, 2007
I need to make the buttons that are associated with this code, toggle, so once you press them they become greyed out. So I was thinking of after you press a button, the alpha is reduced to 40%. Can someone help me place that piece of code into this monster? -I know it should go into the presto function of my script. Which works fine, but then it stays at 40%alpha after the user click on a different button. I need it to toggle off once someone clicks on the next button. [code]

I have another question for the masses out there regarding trying to input values from a text input box to a custom class. I currently have a custom class named Company with properties that correspond to values in a MySQL database.
So I created an input UI on the client application that calls out for Address, Name, Zip, Phone, etc. - Then there is a button to submit to values to the database for creation. Here's my question:
How do I take each individual textinput.text property and 'mesh' them all together to a Company object to send to the server? The PHP that is written takes in an argument like this:
public function createNewCompany (Company $item) { .......
So is that even the right way to send them in? Or???
There are a total of 11 things (properties) that need to be submitted.

how subclasses,instances,and inheritance work. The below code isn't actual project code, it's theoretical code, generalized to a simplistic level so that we can talk about the big issues.Let's say I have animals_app.fla, with a "Dog" class MC and a "Cat" class MC. Both "Dog" and "Cat" are subclasses of "Animals"; animals_app.fla uses document class "Main".
Intuitively, I think Animals should declare that every subclass should have some animalSpecies, and each subclass will define the value of its own animalSpecies. It wouldn't make sense for Animals to provide any default value, because it will always be different per subclass. Is this correct? I had tried out some code similar to that below, and was perplexed because it seemed like whenever a subclass tried to define a value for its own animalSpecies variable, it was actually changing the value of the variable in the Animal class, but that's not what I want. How do I rewrite this code so that each subclass defines the values of variables it inherits from its superclass, without altering the superclass? And how would I define the value of variables for each instance of a class, so that I'm only changing the values of that instance, without altering the subclass?
Animals.as
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]..........
Also, conventionally, what should be in my Main class? Only the addChild code which attaches MCs to the stage? Or should the values of variables be defined in Main? What am I missing? I recently read Foundation Game Design with Flash and didn't feel like the explanation was sufficient. I've tried scouring the web for OOP tutorials, but they're either too basic or too far over my head.where I should be defining values of variables for classes, subclasses, and instances?

I'm trying to assign actions to various buttons for a website I am building, however I would also like to play a little movie first each time before linking to their individual different frames. The movie is the same for each button but then, obviously each button ultimately needs to link to a different frame. I'm guessing a nifty mix of gotoandPlay and variables are the answer but I'm getting myself in knots.
The structure of the site is as follows.On the main stage I currently have 4 frames. Each frame contains a different "page" of the website. The "home" frame has the navigation bar (including a sub-menu movie which has a number of buttons nested inside it which I think is going to be tricky). At the end of the "home" movie, there is a little fade animation which is labeled/ red flagged on the timeline - and it's this little animation I would like to have playing when a button is clicked on before linking to another frame.
At the moment the best I can manage is that when the button is clicked it goes back to the beginning of it's movie (a problem with the target paths perhaps?) as opposed to a label within the parent movie.I also think where I'm getting confused is exactly where I am supposed to define all the various variables and pieces of actionscript. The little snippits of code I have are as follows: Within the button I am trying to link, so far I have:
on(release){
_level0.frame_to_goto = "artwork";
play();
}
The "artwork" tag is the frame specific to that button (this is one of the sub-buttons that is nested within a submenu movie).Then in the movie for the webpage I have the following in the last frame of the mini animation that I want to play before the button links to the artwork frame:
stop();
if(_level0.frame_to_goto != undefined){
_level0.gotoAndPlay(_level0.frame_to_goto);
}else{
trace("An error as occured!");
}

I got a set of buttons and a text field where they load the content.I'm trying to not make one zillion functions and keep the code neat so i guessed i would try set the buttons' actions within the loop too. I firstly had some problems getting the i counter inside the onRelease function (actually I don't think i ever got how to do it). But I tried this and worked:
stop();var comprarXML = new XML();comprarXML.ignoreWhite = true;comprarXML.load('flash/comprar.xml');comprarXML.onLoad = checkLoading; function checkLoading(success) { rootNode = comprarXML.firstChild; ButtonReleaseAndContent ();} function ButtonReleaseAndContent (){ for (i=0;i<12;i++){ // my buttons are not generated dynamicly, that why the count. btTemp =
[code]....
At the line where I set the text, I had a though " I may have to refer from within the button mc, since the generated code goes inside it!". So i tried the this.temp , guessing that this would be equal to the button level. A few seconds later i noticed my referencing for the text field wasn't coming from within the button, but from the root.

I�m planning to make a magazine in Flash, and I would have to load several pages of it in order. But I�d like to put the buttons forward and previous on the main movie and make then load each page in a container.Is there a way to set variables for each page so the main movie "knows" what movie is loaded at the moment and what page it has to load next.

I'm having a strange problem in computing alpha values because the results of computations differ from the results obtained making the same computations using a normal variable of "Number" type.I compute this way (incrementing alpha property and another Numer variable by 0.01 starting from 0):
var delta:Number = 0.01;
var myNumber:Number = 0;
myLoader.alpha = 0;

If my holder's alpha equals 0 can its child's alpha be effectively > 0 ? In my case I have holders (custom clases) with many children, some of which are holders them selves (with their own children and holders and so on).
I would like to:
-pick out a single holder from the 'tree'
-have all of the 1st level children of that are NOT holders themselves have an alpha of 1.

I have a large-ish array of points.
The graphics object I am using has it's alpha value set to 0.1.
When these points are plotted iteratively, and the line being drawn overlaps another line drawn earlier, there is no visible change in the colour at the intersection.
If I draw the line differently, not using an array of points, the alpha is not ignored.
ActionScript Code:
public function render(e:Event):void
{
if (segmentsCollection.length > 0)
[Code].....
This all occurs on each ENTER_FRAME event until the array is emptied.
I have tried loads of options but the alpha is always ignored.

I'm looking to make a slider bar reveal movie clips on my stage as you drag it along. I've written some sloppy code that works, but isn't smooth by any means. I basically put MCs on different frames on the timeline, and I want those MCs to fade in or out relative to where the pointer is on the bar. This was a workaround, what I think I need is a boolean solution, but I'm not familiar enough with AS to write one from scratch. Here is the code I have so far. Does anyone have any ideas?

I have two buttons without names and I'm trying to have the same exact code on each so that you can click the button and it will turn white (or look like it), and click it again and it will turn back to blue (alpha at 100).This is the code I'm using on each button:
Code:
on (release){
if (_alpha == 100){
_alpha = 1;
[code]...
Unfortunately it causes both buttons to change their alpha to 0, not just the one that the code is on.Could anyone tell me why this is and how to make it so that only the button clicked is the one that has the alpha change? The reason I'm doing it this way is that I am going to end up using over 600 buttons like this, and I would much rather be able to copy and paste them in rows instead of naming them (I've already spent upwards of 45 minutes naming them A1, A2, B1, B2 and changing the code to fit).

I have a bunch of thumbnails which I want to be treated the same on rollover/rollout/press. Right now, I have it working so that the alpha changes on all of them on rollover/rollout/press, but to do that, I have a code for each individual thumbnail, and I know there has to be a way to just have one code that applies to all of them instead of repeating so much (but I'm just not sure how to do it). This is what I have right now:

This one is tripping me up. I'm creating a simple 10 question 'quiz' with simple "yes" or "no" radio buttons for each question. If they picked "yes" the value is 5, while "no" is 0. I want them to be able to choose all of the answers and then click submit. On submit it would add up all the answers and save that number as a variable named "score".
I know how to setup all of the radio button groups, calling each group question1, question2, question3 etc and giving the values to each yes and no radio button. I just don't know how to capture the values on submit, add them up and save to a variable.

I have an MC with the instance name "building". I want to be able to change the RGB color values of this MC with three buttons for example. for example, one button would change the RGB values to 60 89 159 another button would change the RGB values to 50 251 59 another button would change the RGB values to 22 21 59 And, when the button is clicked, the new RGB color value should fade in without the old values fading out.

Code:

just spotted this curious trick. If you want to flip something to go invisible on a click, and then reappear on another click (etc etc), try this:
create the sprite, setting alpha to either to 1 OR -1
mySprite.alpha=1; //OR
mySprite.aplha=-1;
