Hiya, I am learning loading movie clips dynamically using the loadMovieNum() function but have run into a problem. When I load a movie into the next layer up from the current movie I still get the hand appearing over where the buttons from the movie on the lower level are (though the lower level movie and its buttons are not visible).
Is there any way I can stop this happening or am I going about things the wrong way?
I have a site with the main content loading on _level2, then I have a contact page that loads over _level2 on _level5. The contact page has a bunch of input text fields, if you use the tab button to go to the next text field it calls on clickable objects on _level2 as well as the text fields... is there a way I can write a script to disable all clickable objects on _level2 while the contact section is loaded, and then enable them once more when I unload _level5?
View 1 RepliesWhen you have movies in a layer, how can you stop the buttons of the underlying levels from showing through. I don't want the user to think that there is a button on the level showing because the cursor turns into a hand....plus also when clicked it does activate the lower movies actions.
View 1 RepliesI have a couple of buttons on a movie in level 0, and those buttons load movies right on top of this one but to level 1... how can i disable buttons on level 0 as soon as level 1 loads, and vice versa, need to enable them when i press the button on level 1 that unloads this movie..
View 1 Replieswell i created some variables in the main stage level, with something like this:

I have a web site with an intro movie playing in the page's header.
The SWF playing the FLV with sound is in a division that is placed at a lower Z level. On top of the SWF, at a higher Z level, is a png image of my header containing an oval transparent window. This image acts as a skin sitting on top of my movie. The movie and sound play inside the oval window fine. I have other reasons for this approach as opposed to integrating the whole header image into the SWF.
The issue is I have no mouse control over the SWF because it is at a lower Z level. The mouse events are blocked by the transparent image window that sits on top.
I want to add a sound volume control to my movie. The control can sit either inside the oval area, or outside somewhere else on the page.
I would prefer to control the volume using another SWF that sits at the normal Z level where the mouse can work. Can one SWF control another?
Other alternatives might be to use Javascript, or even HTML image tags to control my SWF.
I have a zooming map .swf file loading in behind a navigation button interface .swf. The map.swf turns your mouse to a hand cursor so you can pan when you zoom in on it.Eveb though the map file is behind my nav file,when I roll over my nav file, the mouse is still turning to a hand cursor. Is there any way around this? The only time it turns to an actually pointer is when it rolls over the actual buttons on the nav file, so the mouse flickers back and forth between the hand and the pointer.How can I get the lower .swf to not effect the .swf on top?
View 8 RepliesI'm trying to reorganize my code. I have a Paradox.as file, which is linked to a Paradox.fla file. When I referenced symbols placed on the timeline in my Paradox.as file, my animation code works. Then I decided to move the code lower down into the hierarchy. In my Paradox.as file, I create new instances of the Character class. The following is the folder hierarchy for the related files. * denotes a folder, and tab denotes its contents:

I have a custom component extending Group and containing a viewstack child. The component is coded in actionscript.
When instantiating the component in mxml like so:
<components:CustomGroup width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:HBox backgroundColor="0xDDFF11" width="100%" height="100%" />
<mx:HBox backgroundColor="0x22DD63" width="100%" height="100%"/>
</components:CustomGroup>
...I would like to override whatever function that adds the children to the parent Group and add them to the child viewstack instead but I can't seem to find where the adding occurs. Breakpoints in addChild and addElement shows that they are not called during the add.
I want to be able to have a movie in _level0. Then when user clicks on a button it will load another movie to _level5. But I want the lower movie to remain visible bit none of it's ruttons be active. I still notice the cursor turn to a finger when I move around areas that are buttons on layer below.
I have tried loading, then unloading lower level, but there is always a blank gap stutter. I have even tried spacing these load and unload commands apart, but no luck.
I have also turned the back graphic of the current layer in to one giant button, but I don't like the button cursor the whole time.
im trying to create a level select screen so the buttons unlock as you complete a level, so far i have this on each button:
on(release){
if(this.number <= currentItem){
gotoAndPlay(3);
}
}

just wondering if it is possible to disable a level much like you can disable a button. If it is possible what would be the best way to do that with being able to toggle on and off with a button on another level.
View 6 RepliesI have used the script below to load the mp3 file, but I couldn't do what I used to when I imported the mp3file to stage and I did it there. Is there a way to place fadeout at the end of the music and make the sound lower and lower, is there a way to apply something like that via Action Script?
mySound=new Sound();
mySound.loadSound("sommeu.mp3",true);
mySound.start(0,0);
I'm working on a test where the user must find specific error keywords on a document and click on them to identify them as errors. After they click on an error, a movieclip popup displays to tell them they did a good job and explain why the error is an error.
On the movieclip that pops up, I've got a standard X close button to kill the movieclip. The problem is, when you click on the close button, the 20 buttons on the document below are still active, and can still be clicked on. Is there a simple way to disable them all, but only when a popup movieclip is being displayed?
Here it goes. I have _level0 as my background, and _level1 reserved for another popup flash. After clicking a button on the background, the flash in _level1 will pop up. So what i wish to do is to disable the background including all the buttons in this _level0. At the same time, I also wish to stop the flash/animation running on background (_level0). Is there a way to do it withc action script? I've tried to insert a graphic in another level to cover up the background yet the buttons on the background are still functioning. Thus, i believe that this is not the correct way.
View 6 RepliesMy main movie is on level 0, of course. On level 0 I created an empty movie clip named "container". Now, I load another movie into container, and I loaded it on Level 1. Now, I want to put a code inside a Movie Clip that is on level 1, which is the new, loaded movie that will disable a red button on level1. Here's the code I used:[code]That worked to no avail as well. So, I'm wondering if the code that disables and enables buttons only work with a handler? Like an onClipEvent or on (release) handler? I'm puzzled right now, because this is really elementary but i just don't know it right now.

One would expect all buttons/rollovers NOT to work anymore .. Alas I just can't get that shiv to work. Does it do that - Or will it only work on individual MC's? Which brings up the problem that all 'buried' buttons are still operative. Ok, so I can call a for loop to disable all of those buttons - but that could get tricky. So, can an entire _level be disabled?
Based on this guide, I have enabled debug level logging and also enabled date, time, level and category logging.
This works great, except now I am seeing all my data that's returned being logged. Is there a way to disable this? I would still like to see the calls logged. I've tried info level, but that turns off request logging.
made a site with several buttons that load other .swf on level 1 which cover the entire stage, but the buttons that are on level 0 can still be clicked on. Is there anyway to block these buttons while the level 1 .swf is playing
View 1 RepliesAs I am finally dipping my toe's into AS3 from years of AS2, I am having an issue for my menu buttons (which are within a movie clip) effecting the activation of movie clips that are featured on the main timeline.
I can get this to run how i want it when each menu button is on the main timeline (by using the 'the click to go to Frame and Play' code snippet)...but when these button are within a movie clip, I can't figure out where in the code i have to add the _parent. command ?
I have attached the .fla to see what I have done. I am keen to keep using the code snippets scripts.
I have a movie (back.swf) and this calls into another (menu.swf, level20). I want to control the movie clips to the level0 with the buttons on level20. I do that but I can't control in a random order.
For example:
I press button 1 and play movie clip 1.
I press button 2 and play movie clip 2.
But if I press again button 1 don't play it.
And if I press the button 3 play the movie 3 but don't allow to return to the button 1 and 2.
Every movie clips are in level0.
Is 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?
I 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]...

The problem is the hidden sections (alpha=0) still have their buttons active...you can click them and I don't use buttons, they are movieclips with actionscript in frame 1...How would you make sure these are disabled?What I tried was to create a variable sectionFlag:Number=1; this would have a different number 1,2,3,4 depending on the current section and then if (sectionFlag==4){ execute code }however, the sob just wouldn't work, it would execute the code anyway!
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).
