I have a list of 5 jpegs that I'd like to dynamically apply to movieclips acting as buttons.I want the 'buttons' to have small photos and when released, load a large photo into another movieclip. Is this possible?
View 1 Repliesloaded images dynamiclly in my flash movie and now i want to make them behave like buttons. I mean, I want [onRelease] function to work. I am sure i am doing something wrong because i cannot make it work.
View 6 RepliesI have written the following to send variables to PHP which searches a MySQL database and returns the results in XML. However I cannot get the XML data loaded into the assigned Movie Clips. I think the problem might be somewhere in the URLLoader.
var imageDir:String = "Images/";
var getImage:XML;
var imageList = new Array();
var newPic:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var thumbnailGroup:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var loadGallery:String = "getImage.php";
[Code] .....
The remaining script (not included) handles the loaded data but is there an obvious problem I have overlooked in the above?
it is possible to make a movieClip that containes some buttons, input/dynamic text area, but the action script to be taken from an external actionscript file (.as)?I ask this because i have some buttons that calles me movieClips who have actionscript applyed in them, i see that i have some error's because of the actionscript (the .swf file blockes at one moment, and i don't know why ) and i want to call the actionscript file (.as) to button when i press one button that displays me the movieClip attach to him.
View 5 RepliesThis is my first post as i m just beginner in Flash JavaScript. I want to prepare a FLash Movie in which all the images r dynamic and the images should change after a time say every 30 secs the image changes.
View 1 RepliesI'm getting crazy with this error and found no solution until now. Well, the issue consist in create dynamic movieclips and external jpgs into a for loop through xml nodes and add the respective image into that movieclip.

I can't get the code to "know" which of the dynamic thumbnails has been clicked (by "know", I mean return an index value, say 0 through 7 if there are 8 projects, that I can use to access that particular project in the array of 8 projects in the rest of the code)... So if the third movieclip thumbnail were clicked, I'd like "2" to come up somehow... I've tried this code, which is kind of lame, I know, based off of the idea of each of the thumbnail movieclips' names ending in their index number:
Code:
//"this" is the button that was pressed; would return a string ending in
//thumberMC_<number of whichever movieclip thumb was clicked>
var: testString:String = this;

Lastly, there's a dynamic textfield I'm trying to create that never shows up for some reason. Again, you could see in the FLA (in the "createDrawer" function around line 424).
I am using buttons with a dynamic textfield and a function to set the label for various different buttons:
public function setLabel(thisLabel:String) {
visibleLabel.text = thisLabel;
}
I set a label for each button:
btn_mc.button1.setLabel("2 | Al Sabkha Bus Station - Al Qusais Police Housing");
I have a dynamic textfield ... myText ... which I would like to use as a page title ... so once the button has been clicked, the dynamic textfield should update with the label of the button clicked.
All I want to do is add text from my string to dynamic text field when I click dynamic buttons. What should the as code be for this? Here is my code. Right now I just have the click returning another shape.

I'm creating a menu bar that is a movieclip and inside the movieclip consists of the buttons.Now the menu bar is twice as WIDE as what is visible on the stage.The only part you can see is the text 'menu' on a bar.Then when the mouse hits the bar, it flies across the screen to the otherside of the bar where the menu buttons are.Now the menu bar does its animation over 20 frames - the last frame being the frame where the menu buttons are now visible.
On the last frame i have the 'stop;' code
On the first frame I have this code:
Code:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){

I'm trying to make this game and in trying to make it look more realistic, I'm trying to get the balloon to curve upwards before coming down and hitting the target. Is that even possible? Also, the target are dynamically created with random x and y points, so is it possible to make the end points the x and y point of that target?
View 1 RepliesI'm putting together a website in Flash CS4, and my Actionscript knowledge is pretty minimal. The site has a portfolio section with a scrollbar, which I modified from a downloadable example I found here: http:[url]...The prewritten code uses xml to import the thumbnails into the scrollbar- all of this is fine and working beautifully so far. What I'd like to do is to have each thumbnail act as a button, so that when clicked, you jump to another page/frame on the timeline. I see that it's very straightforward to either open a 'full' image or to go have the thumbnail take you to an html page, but is there a command that can go into the xml text that will simply take you to another spot on the timeline?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to use images as buttons (PNG/GIF images as buttons(simple, toggled and multi-state) - Image change on mouse over, normal and pressed) using AS3 only. I tried to search. All I got is to setting icon of a Button.
View 2 RepliesOriginally, the client wanted to control "hero_mc" using the keyboard but now they would like to control him with buttons only. Here is the original code on the "hero_mc" which works as expected:
[Code]...
first I had:
maskedImg = getChildByName("current") as MovieClip;
maskedImg.mask = mymask;
and everything worked properly. Then I removed the movieclip from the scene, exported it to Actionscript, and changed the code to
maskedImg = new mymovieclip();
addChild(maskedImg);
maskedImg.mask = mymask;
and now I don't see anything on the scene. If I comment out the line assigning the mask I can see the movieclip although. The mask is created dynamically in both cases.
is it possible to create a non-square "button" in flash cs4 programmatically using as3?
Using a xml document, i'm trying to be able to retrieve a png file with transparency, and have said transparent area's be not clickable.
Long story short, I'm creating a map with a bunch of clickable areas. These areas are non-rectangular and I need them to not obscure other area's which would be in their rectangle. I need this to be done programmatically since the area's are going to be dynamic as is the data attached to them.
fyi: I have a fairly good grasp of OOP, so don't be afraid to post up complex instructions.
Has anyone got an example of scrolling images as buttons. I been trying to use scrolling images as buttons to access pages on the main timeline but haven't got it to work one bit, plus a lot of the tuts I find aren't for AS3.
View 1 Repliesrandom images appears but the buttons are missing
View 3 RepliesI want to create the same effect that is on this website: [URL]. There are four links below the rotating images. when you mouse over each button the image changes. It changes over top of the previous one. When I create this effect, it seems to jump back to the background and then it fades to the image. I want the image to fade over top of whatever image is already there.
I tried using loadMovie and have each image load on top of the other level but the only problem is that once a movie is loaded on top of another you can't call that previous image up again. It's like once you load level 10 over level 5 then level 5 can't be seen again until you refresh the page. Is there a way to just tell it to loadMovie over the current level without actually calling that level?
I'm making a portfolio using XML and AS3. Loading the XML is all fine, I put images in a loader using a for loop. However, I would like these images to be buttons and set a TextField.alpha at 1 when hovering the image. The problem I'm having here, is whenever I hover an image, all the set textfields will show up. How do I change this? I've been trying to put it into an Array with no result.
View 1 RepliesI want to do something like:
Main.mxml
<s:HGroup id="animals">
<s:Button name="dog">Dog Name</s:Button>
<s:Button name="bird">Bird Name</s:Button>
<s:Button name="cat">Cat Name</s:Button>

Do I have to extend the Button component or how should I proceed?
I'm putting together a website in Flash CS4, and my Actionscript knowledge is pretty minimal. The site has a thumbnail section with a scrollbar, which I modified from a downloadable element I found from flashmo dot com (admin won't let me include link). The prewritten code uses xml to import the thumbnails into the scrollbar- all of this is fine and working beautifully so far. What I'd like to do is to have each thumbnail act as a button, so that when clicked, you jump to another page/frame on the timeline. It's very straightforward to either open a 'full' image or to go have the thumbnail take you to an html page (as that's how the code was written, but is there a command that can go into the xml text that will simply take you to another spot on the timeline? The website is going to be entirely in Flash, so URL links don't help me. Is there a simple command I can add into the xml and Actionscript?
This is what the xml looks like, in case that's helpful:
<thumbnail>
<filename>black.png</filename>
<title>Item No. 1 (192 color art)</title>

How can i have 15 buttons load different images into one border.When the swf loads picture 1 is loaded. When you click some of the other buttons picture 1 stays into the border. A preloader bar and percent shown up under picture 1. After the preloader and percent bar reaches 100% picture 1 "alpha-fades" out and the picutre correspnding the button you clicked "alpha-fades" in ?
This transissions will happen beetween all the pictures you load.The pictures must be loaded dynamic .
I am using the tutorial about dynamically loading images, that then fade when a button is pressed and change to the next image, however I want to load the images and have them fade in and out without pressing anything i.e. an mc that rotates the images, fading them in and out.
The script I have been using is this:

View 2 RepliesFor some reason, the same code works now, without any problem at all. I don't know what happened, or why, but I no longer have this problem Here's the original post: To put simply, I created a MovieClip, put it with addChild() to stage, and when I tried to call this piece of code:
[Code]...
1) I've created a MovieClip and placed a Dynamic Text into this clip. I've named the text "text_txt";2) I've exported my MovieClip for action script (made it a class) and gave it name "ImageContainer"; And I deleted MovieClip prototype from stage (to create it dynamically later)
3) On main time line in frame 1 I've placed code:
Code:
var clip_mc:ImageContainer = new ImageContainer();
clip_mc.name = "myClip";
addChild(clip_mc);
[Code]...
ADDED: Ha, everything was easy! I should just change one string like this:
Code: MovieClip(getChildByName("myClip")).text_txt.text = "doh";When I placed MovieClip in the beginning everything works fine with Strict Mode! Problem has been solved
I'm trying to do a cleaning of some classes that is added into a MovieClip, but I can't seems to set the MovieClip(Class) to null. What is the proper way to do it?

I have 3 images that are displayed sequentially. Image 1: layer 1 (frame 1 to frame 24), Image 2: layer 2 (frame 25 to 49), Image 3: layer 3 (frame 50 to 74). The opacity of each image changes in its frames and and each image has a classic tween associated with it. Pretty basic stuff.
On frame 1 of the first image I created a symbol that is a button, lets call it image1_btn. On frame 50 of the third image I created a second button, lets call it image3_btn.I created an Actions layer as the first layer and wrote the following code:
image1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onimage1Click);var image1link:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://purplerosehome.com/shopping/spartina_449/page_1.aspx")function onimage1Click(event:MouseEvent):void{ navigateToURL(image1link);}
image2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onimage2Click);var image2link:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://purplerosehome.com/shopping/le_cadeaux/page_1.aspx")function onimage2Click(event:MouseEvent):void{ navigateToURL(image2link);}
