I have a log in page with two buttons "credit" and "browse" . If the user selects "browse" I want the button to start the quiz globally disabled on level0 (the log in page is level1). I think I need to leave the log in page playing on top in an empty frame for this to work. I have tried:
_global._level0._root.quizBtn.enabled = false(); I have tried that script on the button action of the "browse" button.

View 2 RepliesI took an object and converted it into a button symbol. I want to be able to disable and enable the button in different situations. I used the action script code "myButton.enabled=true;" and "myButton.enabled=false;" but these don't seem to work. Is it possible to access this property of a button I made? if not is there any way to change the button in the user interface components? if not is there any other way to disable or enable the buttons i made?
View 1 RepliesI have seen several threads in regards to tbe button enable/disable, mouseEnabled usage. However. I have tried both methodologies in my code, and they don't respond. Continues to give me the alpha change and color text change, but not disabling the button after I roll off of it.Ultimate goal,to disable the currently selected button, leave the alpha at .4 and the text color to remain in its selected state/color. Everything works beautifully for my buttons other than disabling the selected one. Any thoughts or suggestions on what I can do to make the below code work better?Code called in previous function in class to add the MouseEvents to the buttons:

I'm developing a card game where I have a button (dealButton) which deals the cards. The action can be triggered by a clicking the button or pressing the spacebar on the keyboard.
Problem is, if I press the spacebar repeatedly the action is triggered multiple times. Is there a way to disable the button when I press the spacebar so that it triggeres the action once only, then gets enabled again later, to deal a new hand?

"how to disable a button" posts but I'm looking to disable a button after 5 clicks. Is this possible and if so what can I do? Basically what I'm doing is using a button to tween a movie clip through a mask, a sliding doors technique if you will, and at the end of my movie clip content i want it to stop, rather than tween on forever.
View 2 RepliesI have a list with a dataprovider, it lists out buttons encapsulated in an item renderer. All I want it to do is have a skin that it changes to when it is clicked. I can get this to happen, but then it just goes back to its up state. I want it to stick on the down state, which I have to do by disabling the button.
So I tried this:

I'm building an interactive map and i've run into a problem. The map is draggable and I have a start and stop drag function running as well as an onEnterFrame function which restricts how far you can drag the map. The map is displayed inside of a masked area. On the map is many locations which when rolled over should pop up a little dialogue box with contact info. My problem is that it only works when i've disabled the drag functions. When the drag functions are running the buttons inside the map movie clip all stop working. How can i get around this?

So I know Flashvars uses a lot different methods in AS3 because of the loader classes and all that. How do I disable the button and make it only display the second frame to the button corresponding to the page that the user is currently on?I've called a variable in the HTML document using query string (or I could use Flashvars just as easy if that makes it easier) called "currentPage" and on each page in the HTML give it a page name.I know how to grab the variable from the HTML into a text field in the SWF (see this tutorial) but I'm having trouble manipulating my menu buttons.

View 3 RepliesI'm constructing an area with selectable buttons that transition and appear every 10 frames. During these 10 frame transition periods I don't want the buttons to be selectable and if possible to disable the rollover.
I've tried creating an If statement on the addEventListener so that it only works when currentFrame is 11,21,31 etc but this didn't work. I then also tried the same principal on the function to which the Event Listener relates but still no success.

I have 2 flash files,one is mine (the main container) and one is a external swf.I want to load the external SWF to my container SWF.I write this code in my AS2 container, inside the main timeline flash (mine flash).In the first method, I add a movie clip with instance name mc1 to the first layer:
mc1._lockroot = true;
mc1.loadMovie("external.swf");
countdown = function(){
trace("ok");
}
countdownIt = setInterval(countdown,1000);
This code works fine in most of the cases, but I found many SWFs files that it dosen't work with. These SWFs and work with the following code instead:
loadMovieNum("external.swf",0);
countdown = function(){
trace("ok");
}
countdownIt = setInterval(countdown,1000);
I really try to use that code - BUT !!! -> if I use this code the external SWF predominant, my main SWF code and all the rest of my code dosen't work (like the setInterval() timer).... I want to load the SWF like the second example and still run the setInterval() function.

View 14 RepliesI'm trying to get an interface that will load external MCs that contain timeline control functions in them. Basically these are long "topics" that currently interface through a web content program - I would like to unify them into a single flash-based interface, but the functions that are in the external flash files, such as this:

get pushed to level0 when you load the next MC, instead of just being deleted with the old MC. I've tried creating a function on the root timeline to delete the variable and the specific function names, but its not working, it just fights with the phantom functions endlessly creating/deleting the variables. This is turn screws up the timeline in the new MC that was loaded. Does anyone know why/what Flash is doing here? If I knew the reason it was being pushed up to level0 I could stop it,
on (release) {
loadMovie ("Loader1.swf", "/contentclip");
}
to load the new MCs into a container MC called "contentclip"

I am working with an older (CS3) file in CS4. I have some simple javascript on an actions frame on the site. Example:
Code:
commercial_btn.onRelease = function() {
getURL("JavaScript:openWin('commerical.html', '600', '620')");
}
For some reason this code is being disabled when I publish. When I click on it in preview, it brings up a browser window. But when I publish it, on my computer that is not connected to the internet, it says something like "Adobe flash player has stopped..." and when I test it on the computer which is connected to the internet, it doesn't do anything at all. Only one Javascript pop up works - it has slightly different code and is in a different place. I tried applying the code to these other buttons but no luck.
i have a movie with this button which disables it upon loading of external .swf file:
on(release) {
loadMovieNum ("lg_01.swf", 2);
i1.enabled = false;
}
the site in progress: [URL]..How do i tell said .swf file to re-enable the "i1" instance from the original .swf file it loaded into? I guess where I'm getting lost is how to tell one .swf to affect another.
I think if i knew this little tidbit, I would most definitely be able to have more control over my sites.
I'm a self-taught novice actionscripter and obviously don't know enough to do something as simple as this.
