If you have a movieclip that contains two buttons, each with different actions. The movieclip that contains the two buttons also has an on realease action applied to it. Is there a way to disable the "parent" button and allow the two buttons contained within it to work?I've tried the parent_moviclip.enabled = false; but that doesn't seem to work.
View 1 RepliesSo, I have the following layering situation
Stage
--moveclip1
--movieclip2
----movieclip3
------movieclip4
I was wondering if it was possible for movieclip4 to be on top of movieclip1, even though movieclip1 is (and must remain) in a layer on top of movieclip2. This should happen when movieclip3 is being clicked (and movieclip4 shows up).
I tried adding this to the mouseclick event of movieclip4:
Code:
this.parent.parent.addChild(event.currentTarget as DisplayObject);
(I tried with and without "parent", and with different numbers of "parents"... cause I kind of lose counts of the parents there).
but... it doesn't work.
I have been trying to get this all day and all I want to do is when I roll over a button it disable the main button that is in its way. I am making a header and it has a button that is lit up and shows a screen but when I roll over another button I want to disable that buttons mouse events. Here is what I have(be aware what I am trying to disable is a movie clip within the button so that is not part of action script)
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(event: MouseEvent):void
{
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://msn.com");
[Code]......
I'll explain the problem I have having as Im sure there are a few solutions, I have a flash website which has four main links, HOME, SERVICES, BLOG, CONTACT.
When the services button is pressed 5 more buttons come in from the right hand side each is slightly delayed to give a stacking effect.
The problem is if the user clicks on the Services button and then quickly presses the another button the service buttons tween in onto the wrong page!
The solution I am thinking is to set a time delay on the services button so when it is pressed the other buttons are delayed for a few seconds to give time for all teh serivecs buttons to tween in.
If so how could I implement it? I have bene trying many things to get it to work, I almost have it, but the delay only works the first time the button is pressed and I cant seem to get the timer to reset!
I am creating a learning document. I would like to disable nextpage button till all other buttons clicked and movieclip finished.I try to use if stamement but I could not be successfull because my nexpage button is on main frame and my other buttons on movieclip.
I disable nextpage button mainframe and I use following code using AS2.
btn1.onPress = function(){
_parent.forwardBtn._visible=false;
}

I have three picture and buttons. Therefore user need to enlarge picture by pressing buttons after viewing all image. Then user need to move next page. The next page is another movie clip. I would like to disable nextpage button here to till MC complete.
I have 5 buttons. Each of which have different movie clips in the up, over and roll out state. To be more specific, each button looks like a window. on the up state curtains cover the windows. on roll over the windows open. on roll out they close again.
What I want to do is ON PRESS force the button to go to its roll out state and then cut off all user activity from all the buttons until the transition to the next page takes place.
I have an external swf (sub.swf) that loads into my main swf. The external swf has buttons of its own...that I would like to use to load additional external swf's in its place. I click on the buttons and nothings happens.
My current code is as follows:
All of the following code is in my main.swf
================================
//Location where the external SWFs will load
var Xpos:Number=18;
var Ypos:Number=10;
[Code]...
External swf has no code except for a stop action.
I pieced this current code based on various articles I've found on the net.
I am trying to close a movie clip that I loaded from the library to the main stage using the flowing code....
navhelp_btn.onRelease = function() { attachMovie("navhelp", "holder_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:195, _y:135});}
The navhelp_btn is located on the main stage and the navhelp movie is in the library and gets loaded to an emty mc on the main stage holder_mc. I want to close the navhelp movie using a close button that I created and is housed in the navhelp movie.
On the stage I have 3 objects on the stage which are on top of each other:
top: transparent button (which controls the mc underneath)
under this button: an image which is a mc
under this image: a graphic background with text that describes the image, and a new trans button which will send the users to a separate url.
Problem:The button to go to the url does not work.
To make things simply, I have the top button setting the alpha of the mc to 0% onRollover, in order to view the text. And reset it to 100% on RollOut.
how I can still get this effect with the rollovers, and get my url button to work too?
I had a movieclip which contained a button in it exported as "mc". Then I attach this movie clip onto the stage using: _root.attachMovie("mc", "link1", 1);
But i couldn't find it with AS. I mean, how can i refer to the button inside the movieclip after I attach it onto the stage using attachMovie?
I am having a problem getting radio button data into php and I can not seem to find any answers. My project is simple I have a group of radio buttons, when one is selected and a submit button is pressed I want the data from the radio button to populate the subject line of an email and send it.I can make a form work with input fields but not with radio button data.
View 11 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?
I have a movie clip with 15 frames. Each frame has buttons on it (mc's)... I was going to put the actions on the main timeline/stage and navigate within the MC from the main timeline. Is that possible? I can get the buttons on the first frame of the MC to work, but I can't seem to figure out how to target/make the buttons on the other frames work? I was thinking I could identify the path of the MC with the frame labels, but that doesn't seem to work. like: _root.RMChanger.(frame label).buttonOnFrame = function
I have to move a text box in and out over the MC backgrounds on the main stage... which is why I was thinking to do it this way? I've been switching back and forth bwtween AS2.0 and 3.0
I 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 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 want to disable the tooltip on certain buttons.

During an upload I need to disable all buttons on stage except the one to cancel the upload process. I tried this but "mybutton" keeps on being disabled:

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 4 RepliesI have a website, and each section fades in and fades out. 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'm having problems with the flash buttons on the flash website i made for a client. or some reason the buttons in the top and bottom menu work on some people's computers but on some they don't. I don't know what to do, i had this code for all the buttons,
on (release) {
getURL("http://legaldepartment.ca/","_self");
}
and they worked on my computer but on others the buttons didn't work at all so i added this code to each button also
on(press) {
_root.getURL("http://legaldepartment.ca/","self");
}
and they still work on my computer and some other people's computers but still some they don't work on some people's computers.
I am using Flash CS4 with actionscript 2 to create an interacitve portfolio.I have 2 text buttons that work when I test them with "enable simple buttons." When I publish to IE these buttons won't work. I have created over 50 buttons using the same methods, they all work.
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'm looking to create a bit of code the allows you to click on a button and disable the rest and so forth reinable when the others have been used
