I am currently using CS5.5 I try below code but the button did not work for all frame.
forwardBtn.enabled = false;
tweencable.onMotionFinished = function():Void
{
forwardBtn.enabled = true;
}
I think onMotionFinished is not on AS2.
I'm using a custom class to lay out a background consisting of square tiles picked at random. These are provided to the class as an array of library symbols, and they are placed on stage with the attachMovie method.- These tiles are different animations that all end up in a solid colored square. When all the tiles have finished animating, the result will be a large rectangular shape that serves as a unified background for content like text and graphics, so I't simply a sort of fancy build animation for the background.
- Naturally, I don't want to be displaying content before the animation has finished, so I need to do that based on some kind of event being dispatched. The problem is that these animations are timeline-based and I want my class to know when all background clips have reached their final frame.The question: How should I do this? Extending MovieClip for each of the animations seems a bit tedious since that would require one class per background tile MovieClip, and I don't want to be constantly checking the currentFrame of all the clips either.
Code:
public function TiledBackground(target:MovieClip,
bgSymbols:Array,

I'm working on a small flash site, and when I click on a menu item it fades into the next page. The problem is when I click on several buttons in rapid succession, not allowing the page animation to complete, which screws up everything leaving pages superimposed on top of other pages. My question is, how do I handle this problem, outside of deactivating the buttons until the animation is complete. I would like the user to be able to click the button no matter where the page is in its animation and have a smooth transition to the next page.
View 1 RepliesI need a little help to complete the hitTest for my animation sequence. Please see the orange section of my code:
Code:
stop();
var myLoader03:Loader=new Loader ();
temperature_small.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,dragTemperature);
function dragTemperature(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
[code]....
As you can see (hopefully), I need the movieclip to be released by stopDrag and it must also overlap with the CH1_btn button before the URLRequest can proceed. But what I'm getting now is the mouse loses control of the temperature_small movieclip when it contacts the CH1_btn (I keep moving the mouse around, but the movieclip remains stuck with the CH1_btn button). The trace didn't work and the URLRequest didn't proceed as well.
[URL].. The preloader on this site seems to run through a complete animation before moving forward in the movie.
I am curious if there is something to how preloaders like this work. Does each animation happen after a certain precent is loaded (in this example, when the squares turn green) or are they just animations that have nothing to do with the actual preloading?

does anyone know how to disable that slide animation and just have the action bar instantly change to whatever action bar the next view contains, but still do a slide navigation for the rest of the view.

View 1 RepliesIs there a way to use ActionScript to disable all buttons in a movie at the start of the movie (or at any given time in the movie), and then re-enable them at a certain time? I'm using Flash MX (only version I have access to), and I know how to get to the ActionScript panel and use it for basic things like stopping/playing a movie or jumping to a certain frame, but I haven't figured out much about ActionScript beyond that.
(btw, what version of ActionScript does Flash MX have?

View 1 RepliesI have designed a website in Flash AS2 and it is nearly complete, but I have one big problem. On my main page, I have a line of scrolling buttons as well as a slide show which also doubles up as a button. All of these buttons link to FLV movies. When clicked, the movie page fades up to cover the entire stage.This is the effect I want and I like the way it looks, but the problem is, all the buttons remain active underneath the FLV as it plays.So if you accidentally click on the movie while its playing, it's still possible to trigger one of these buttons, causing all kinds of undesired chaos!Here is a link to the current swf, so you can see exactly what I'm talking about.
The row of scrolling buttons (the circles) and the arrow buttons at the bottom are contained within a single movie.I must point out that I am not well versed in action script. I have picked up bits and pieces as I've gone along but I don't speak the language

I am creating a spinning globe where I set up two movieclip buttons. One is called "europe1" and another is called "russia1". When you roll over "europe1" button, movieclip "europe_people" starts to play and button "closeEurope" appears. When you click on "closeEurope" button, the movie clip "europe_people" and the button "closeEurope" disappears and the globe begins to spin again. If you roll over "russia1" the same thing happens.
What I want to do at this point is if the user rolled over "europe1", I want to deactivate button "russia1" on the spinning globe until the user closes "europe1" by pressing the "closeEurope" button. When the user presses the "closeEurope" I want "russia1" button on the spinning globe to activate again. [code]...

View 8 RepliesI have several layers of scrolling BGs via action script. In between these layers are a set of simple buttons made via "button" symbols. Within the stage, the buttons are recognized, however, when I test the movie, the buttons are not recognized/activated by the cursor. My guess is that the scrolling BGs that are on top of everything else (NOT added via "addChild" in a blank movie clip below all other layers) are somehow "blocking" my cursor from reading the simple buttons "below" them.
For the visual aspect of the project, the scrolling BGs are needed both "below" and "above" the buttons, so I need a work-around for simple button use in this multi-level scrolling BG environment. (just to clarify, by "above" and "below" I dont mean vertically above and below, but rather "layered" above and below, so as to "cover" eachother).
A way to disable multiple buttons on different timeline mostly resides movie clipLike when I click a single button, the other buttons will be disabled.As of now what I'm doing is like this...

I am building my online portfolio and basically you scroll through my work (you may have noticed another thread about this lol) and then you click on an image which represents the different work that i have done. This opens an "info box" with a few more screen shots of that project and some text about it. This all works great, but what i need is when the "info box is opened (loaded externally), the other buttons etc on the stage need to be disabled because the info box loads in a layer above everything else. When the infobox is closed, the buttons etc need to be enabled again so i cant just put the code in the onRelease function which activates the infobox as this will permanently disable everything. I was thinking maybe I can set up some variables so it can detect whether the infobox is opened or closed depending on the value of the variable but I have found it hard to reference the variables properly.
My portfolio is currently online - www.theo-nicolaou.co.uk - but it is one year old, buggy, slow and needs updating as i have more work to show. That is why I am rebuilding - mainly the structure and a few design changes. If you go to the link, click on portfolio, and then click on one of the circular buttons under the black square, and then click the image in the square you will see the "info box" and you will notice that any buttons underneath are disabled until the box is closed.
To activate the infobox, an image (i call it a thumbnail" is clicked, for example, "DG_thumb":
Code:
DG_thumb.onRelease = function() {
_root.holder_mc.infobox_holder.loadMovie("DG_infoBox.swf", "start");
}
the portfolio page itself is a separate .fla (portfolio.fla) which is loaded into a main fla which has an empty MC called holder_mc. The instance name "infobox_holder" is in the portfolio.fla file and that is what it is loaded into when the thumbnail is clicked. The thumbnail itself is within a MC called webList (in this case) which is within a MC called portfolioList. This is on the main timeline of portfolio.fla so i guess the path would be (though maybe i am wrong):
Code:
_root.holder_mc.portfolioList.webList.DG_thumb
however this doesnt seem to make any difference and it is still enabled even if i use enabled = false;I have also tried using _parent. but that doesnt work either.I also need to disable the circular group of buttons which are within a MC on the main timeline of portfolio.fla called "circles". They all have instance names, so in the case of the work i call DG, it would be "DG_button".
