I have a series of mc's on the stage: but1, but2, but3 and I have an xml file which leads to an image. I want each button to access the respective image.
This is the code:

I think this is the line with the problem var mc = "but"+(i+1);, because when I place but1, the but1 works.
Does anybody know which is the problem, or does anybody know a tutorial?
I have a intro to a picture of a tree which has buttons on it. The intro is an embedded flv video (not using the FLV component). The video starts on frame one and runs to frame 2. The tree is on frame 3.When I click a button on the tree, it runs the respective frames then returns to the tree. When the tree appears, the sound of the video is playing in the background.How can I make this stop?
Code:
stop();
MovieClip(lion_mov).stop();
//video Mouse Click[code].....
Frame 3 just includes all the mouse clicks for the tree.
I have a buttons class that puts 9 pictures on the stage and each one represents a different movie and leads to that movie when clicked (or will lead there once I figure out how to reference it to the specific movie). I have 9 movies referenced through XML. And I am using flvPlayer. Currently I can only have one movie loading. I am not sure how to get each one to play upon click of the respective btn.
Here is some of the code I think is pertinent if figuring how to go about this:
ProjectOneButtons class
//I have each picture loaded through an array and each button is waiting for the right code through a Switch statement:
public function onButtonClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
var releventImageAray:Array = this["rowOfImages" + MovieClip(e.currentTarget).row];
var imageWanted:String = relaventImageArray[MovieClip(e.currentTarget).column];
switch (imageWanted) {
case "Video1" :
[Code] .....
The reason I included a bunch of code is to show that there is a play/pause button that is supposed to play the movie. But the thing is I only have the one movie referenced and I am not sure how to have it variable as to which movie is played and make it depend on the button that is clicked from the button class above. All of this code works as it is and I am getting no errors.
the website that im working on has 5 main buttons which then navigate you to a certain frame on the timeline which will display its respective information. but within one of those pages/frames i have 3 more buttons that i want to be active and take you to another frame on the timeline.
but when i try activating them with the same as3 code that i used on the other 5 main buttons, they do not work.
I have a fla wherein when I Roll Over on the respective regions some text and images are displayed in the respective position ( text loaded in a dynamic text field). Now all these info are from XML file. I want to format it but have no idea how to do this one. I like to make it underline, want to make some paragraph , like to make some text bold and so on ...........

i have created two arrays i.e questArray=("identify movieclip car","identify movieclip cycle","identify movieclip bus"); answerArray=(car_mc,cycle_mc,bus_mc); here when ever the question is displyed the user has to click the correct movie clip.. i.e if the question is displayed as "identify movieclip cycle" then the user has to click the cycle movie clip. here the questions will be shuffled when ever we run for output and respective target should be matched with the question. can any one give the code for my above logic
View 1 RepliesI'm working on my personal portfolio site and desperately need help with some AS3. my knowledge about AS3 is very rudimentary. Hope anyone who's I want to change the pointer cursor to custom movieclip when mouseover different invisible buttons. These buttons are mainly forward & backward button for my gallery. I got some help from other site but still unsolved. Please take a look at my fla attachment to point out what's wrong with the coding. To elaborate a little bit more as what I wish to achieve you can take a look at the sample URL...I just need the pointer cursor to turn to custom mc when it mouseover the hit area of the respective buttons.
View 6 RepliesI want to make a movie object move up & down when I click on the respective buttons. Now I can do this, thats easy... but what I want is when I hold down on the buttons that it moves on its own? And I don't have to go "*clicky* *clicky* *clicky* *clicky*" (thats the sound your mouse makes) To move the object up and down. Is this even possible? (enter newbie joke here)... Heres the code I got: on (press, release, keyPress "<Up>") { _root.block._y = _root.block._y + 4;} Now the other thing I want to do is have it stop at a certain height. Both at the top and the bottom of the screen. The idea being that someone can't scroll the object off the screen online tutorials? new career move?
View 1 Repliesthis is EXACTLY what i want... but in AS2 [URL]..a very simple click on a button, popup appears of image, and then an exit button on the image.
View 6 Repliesi have a little issue, this is the script:
import flash.net.navigateToURL;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, action);
function action(e:MouseEvent):void
{ var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("novosti.php");
navigateToURL( request, "_self");
}
button is instance name of symbol - button, and like that script doesnot work there is error 1009:cannot access.....but when i put symbol with instance name button in form of movie clip, script works.
I've got this interactive poem I've been working on for a class. I've basically finished each "episode" seperately. I made a parent document which essentially loads one of the ten child documents onto the respective key frame. Here's a sample of the code for the first key frame of the parent document:
stop();
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, LoadSWF2);
[Code]....
Well Two things are messed up about it, well my "ChildTimeline2" variable will off and on assosciate itslef not with the main time line of a child document, but of a nested symbol inside said child document. Even worse, the "gotoAndStop();" command I will give sometimes applies to Parent document... yaay! but often it will apply to the child document. The end result being this horrible looping moment where you are stuck in one child document for all time.
I wish I could attach the documents but they exceed the 300KB. how I can get Actionscript to listen fro the last frame of the maintimeline of the child document, or tell flash to gotoandStop for the parent document

View 0 RepliesI'm trying to find out how to make a simple image gallery which changes image upon a mouse click on a button, when a button is pressed I want the image to slide in from the left into the viewable area and then when another image is selected I want the previous image that was viewed to remain in the screen and then the new image slide across over the top to replace the image.
I can get the images to slide across from the left upon a mouse click however I can't change the layer order so if image 6 is viewed and then I click to see image 1, the image will slide into place however it will be below image 6 so therefore not viewable.
I don't have an example of what I'm after but I hope my explanation was good enough, I've seen this been done in javascript but I have to use flash and am unable to replicate the effect I'm after

View 2 RepliesAs part of a much, much larger project, a client has asked me to take an existing flash banner, change the graphic, text, and link to make 4 more that are almost identical. Though I haven't worked extensively with Flash, I am familiar with it and thought this should be fairly easy, right? (Unfortunately, easy isn't exactly the word I'd use.)
I'm trying to take an existing fla, and change just the graphic, text, and button link to make a nearly identical banner. However, when I import a new image to replace the old image, the button disappears. I've tried overwriting the current image as well, and while I have a new image to show on the banner, and the text still works just fine, AND I have the outline of the box that should house the button (it even shows in the library),
Additionally, I will need to change the link, and since I'm having this much problem with a button, maybe you could understand how that works as well, because I can't even change it on the original.
I'm trying to makedress up game using flash cs5 (i'm new to all this so bare with me), and i have the body but i want to change the skin colour with a click of a button, i have 4 skin colours that i have ready but i'm not entirely sure how i can do this,

View 1 RepliesAn image, like a jpeg, has a bunch of metadata stored in it.The "IPTC Core" metadata usually includes the photographers name,address, title, description, etc.Is there any way to access this information using AS3 so that, say, captions for images in a flash gallery could be generated automatically?

It appears there is no way to do this. It looks like I must have the original images in a .flv.

View 1 RepliesI am using the default TileList component in AS3/CS4, where a user can upload their images and it is displayed in the TileList by using the URL of the upload as the source parameter.The final piece of the puzzle is knowing the dimensions of the image that was uploaded, but bugger me if I can find how to access each image that is displayed in each cell of the tilelist.

I've created a few buttons (which are really movieClips) that all have instances named button1, button2, etc. So I created a For loop and put an addEventListener in it for a roll over. The problem is the function called in the listener tells the button to go to frame 2, but there's no way to call tot hat specific button.[code]...
View 3 RepliesA designer gave me an fla file with his design for a banner with some buttons and it is my job make those buttons do stuff. However, I can't seem to get a reference to any of them in actionscript. I am using CS5.5 fp9 and as3. The buttons in the design are instances of symbols (graphic) from a library. Through the 'edit symbols' menu in the top right corner of the window that displays the design, I can navigate to the different buttons and I managed to change them to type button or movieclip so that I could give them instance names. However, even with instance names, I still can't access them from actionscript.
I think it may have something to do with the way these symbols have been added to the stage. I can see them in the design view and when I run the project, so they must be on the stage right? However I cannot select them in the design by clicking on them. Only by using the 'edit symbols' menu can I select them.
It seems that if you 'lock' stuff in design view, you can't work with it in developer view either. Not even in actionscript! The buttons in the design I received were locked from the beginning, it didn't even occur to me that it could be something as silly as that!
In my timeline I have a button, with an instance name of view_only_button. On my actions layer, I have code that is attempting to add a listener for a MOUSE_DOWN event. The frame that has the button is the same as where the actionscript is going, but of course it is two different layers. When I try accessing the variable by the code below, I get the error:
Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
ActionScript Code:
view_only_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, viewOnlyDownHandler);
function viewOnlyDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
//Code to execute inside of the event call
}
When commenting the addEventListener line out, the error goes away. I am unsure why this would issue an error
