my drop-down menu. Sometimes, when I move mouse pointer quickly over buttons, more than one drop-down is opened. I put button whitin menu which on rollon tells flash to go to first frame of menu movie, i.e. initial state. The problem is when I place my pointer over another button, before new frame has occured, it' won't execute rollon button, but initiates another drop-down. this is my site: [URL]

I'm making my new photography site, and it's going to be entirely in flash. I'm an intermediate flash person, but there is something I'd like to do with my menu that I can't figure out how to do. I'm going to have 4 buttons:
[Code]...
I'm having a problem getting my animated rollOn/Off buttons (movieclips) to play when they are nested in another movieclip's timeline.
I'm trying to build a drop down menu. On the main timeline I have a movieclip with a button inside it on frame one. When you roll over this button it plays from frame 2 to 10 which is my menu dropping out. When the menu is fully dropped it is made of further buttons (movieclips again) that fade to a different colour when rolling on, and should fade back when rolling off. When you roll off of the menu, everything reverses back to frame 1.
Here is the script I used for the rollon and rolloff reversing, I got this from another website:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){
[Code]....
The main Afternoon cakes button is to the right, and the white boxes to the left show how they should work. They work fine when on the main timeline, but do nothing when they are inside the movieclip.
Basically, I have a button and on click it displays a menu. I want to click that menu a second time and the menu closes. Currently, every time you click the button, the menu reopens. I pasted the Flex livedoc example below. If you click the button, the menu keeps reopening.Now, I rigged it up by setting a var to open and closed, so when clicking the button it does a check. However, if you click away from the screen, the HIDE event gets dispatched, and the menu closes. This messed up the open close var being set.
How could I make this Flex example below show the menu on button click, and then on a second button click, it closes the menu? Take into affect that if you click away from the menu, it closes it.Also, I played around with the MOUSE_DOWN_OUTSIDE event for the button and set the preventDefault, and the FlexMouseEvent event.cancelable is set to false.Changing to a PopUpMenuButton is not an option. I have to much skinning involved.Here is the Flex example:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[

import mx.controls.Menu;

I have a function that executes when a button is pressed:
btnRandomAll.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandlerBtnRandomAll);
function clickHandlerBtnRandomAll(e:Event)
{
...but, I need it to also execute once, upon the file loading.
When I place some codes in a keyframe, these codes are showing on all the following frames up till the next keyframe with codes. My question is, does Flash execute codes only in the keyframe or it execute whatever is in the frame regardless whether its a keyframe or not?
View 1 RepliesI've created a new symbol - button type. Then created a single frame in a time-line, put my button there and put a simple code into frame[code]...
View 3 RepliesI'm making a Century club timer, it is to execute on pressing the start button, and then run until finished (our paused, but thats not implemented yet). To keep the timer accurate I had to use the Date() function.The timer() function is used to update the displayed time. I tried using a while-loop for this, but then the whole thing would just freeze. :S So instead a use a infinite timer that ends when currentTime == targetTime.

how to clear the stage of everything I have loaded it with. This would be done upon click of one of the buttons I have on the stage. That button also needs to execute a different class I have programmed. You can even just tell me what to search under to find out this data.
Explanation: I have 2 different classes. Buttons class and Videos class. Buttons class loads the stage with 9 different buttons. Each button is supposed to lead to its own video. (I have the buttons ready with programming to load the video and all of the programming works).
The Video class loads the video onto the stage and has the controls for it to play, pause, stop etc (works pretty much..).
Now, I am not sure what code to put under each of the buttons to clear the stage and load the Video class.
I am trying to figure out how to execute code once a button_btn is hit on stage at runtime.
View 3 Repliesjust need to execute a function - myFunction() when roll over a button i can do it coding the button like so:
[AS]on (rollOver) {
_root.myFunction(this);
}[/AS]
or code it in the root where i defined the function, like so:
[AS]myButton.onRollOver = function() {
myFunction(this);
}[/AS]
the thing is, i'm using this for a tween class animation, and when i code it directly in the button it works fine
can i write this AS diferent way?!
myButton.onRollOver = function() {
myFunction(this);
}
on frame 1 : I define a function
exemple : function exemple(){
a=1;
}//end function
on frame 2 : line0 :exemple()
line1 : trace(a);
=> but there is no trace of a. the function has not been called but if I add a button with on release exemple(), the function exemple has been calledis this normal ? how can I call and execute a function without calling it trough a button.
I have some functions that when applied directly to buttons work as planned, but when I create a function from them to apply to the array, they fail to execute properly. This function is meant to set all 56 buttons to alpha 0, and as unselected. What happens is the buttons flash onscreen at 100% before setting to alpha 0. They do behave as if unselected, but don't know if that's due to the code.
Code:
for (_root.i = 0;i<56;i++){
_root["btn"+_root.i].onEnterFrame = function() {
this._alpha = 0;
this.bSelected = false;
this.onEnterFrame = null;
}}
This function should fade the button up on rollover. But on rollover the button only increase by 10% then stops. Each subsequent rollover increases it another 10%.
Code:
for (_root.i = 0;i<56;i++){
_root["btn"+_root.i].onRollOver = function() {
this._alpha<100 ? this._alpha += 10 : this.onEnterFrame = "";
}}
This function should fade the button out on rollout. Since the rollover increases them only by 10% increments (above), the result is the buttons just bounce back and forth between alpha 20 and 30.
Code:
for (_root.i = 0;i<56;i++){
_root["btn"+_root.i].onRollOut = function() {
(this._alpha>20 && this.bSelected==false) ? this._alpha -= 10 : this.onEnterFrame = "";
}}
Last one: This function should set several behaviors on release. Right now none of them appear to work.
Code:
for (_root.i = 0;i<56;i++){
_root["btn"+_root.i].onRelease = function() {
this.bSelected = true;
this.enabled = false;
pastBtn.enabled = true;
pastBtn._alpha = 20;
pastBtn.bSelected = false;
pastBtn = this;
}}

I'm creating a game where certain movie clips execute a motion tween when a button is clicked, and stay still when not clicked. I know that this sequence would probably use coding such as if...button pressed execute movie clip/else...
But I'm not sure how to code it. Also is it better to have the motion tweens as a nested animation in each movie clip, or should I just create the tweens on the main stage. And if I make them nexted animations how do you say in a function to play the nested animation?
I would not have asked the question if I owned an iphone, but so far I only have an android phone for development.
The question is: Should I use the View.viewMenuItems that are provided by flex mobile? Or should I better embed the functionality in another way? I don't know what possibilities might exist on iphone to open the menu, because it has no hardware button "menu".
By the way: How could I open the menu in the Flash-Builder mobile device emulator - there are no buttons, too..
I am building a menu and for each button of the menu, subbuttons apear beneath it along the menu. And I am having some problems. Each of the menu buttons has animations for rollOver and rollOut. What can I do so that when I move over the subbuttons the menu button won't start the rollOut animation. I have to extend the hit state. If I put the subbuttons in the same movie clip as the menu button, the animation would be bad because I am doing width, height, x and y tweenings with ActionScript and addind something the the clip would change these properties. Pls help.
Is it possible to extend the hit state of the menu button in some way ?

View 1 RepliesGood day to everyone. I'm here today to seek help about Flash CS4 and ActionScript 3.0. The story starts when one day, my boss asked me to make a flash presentation about their upcoming user training for a newly developed software. I was enthusiastic and excited about it because it's been a long time that I did not use Flash (note that I don't have any experience in ActionScript 3.0). At first, everything was a bit rough as I need to recall how to properly use the frames to create a successful animation. As I was about to finish the project, my boss approached me again and asked if I could insert a menu page in front so that the users won't have to replay the whole thing again just to look for a little something on that part of the movie. So yea, at first I was abit hesitant to accept. I said that it will work with Powerpoint. But she's a total pusher and I was forced to say yes. Now I'm having this problem about how to make a flash button load a swf movie.I've tried searching all over the net for tutorials but most of the times the "getUrl" and other stuff are said to be outdated.
View 1 RepliesI'm making a menu in flash and I want that when I Click the button/movieclip moves up and when I Click again it moves down again. I already did it with MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT but that gave me problems.
Here is the Code:
Actionscript Code:
//Eventlistenersmenu_over.buttonMode = true;
menu_over.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,onOver,false,0,true);
menu_over.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onOut,false,0,true);
//Functionsfunction onOver(e:MouseEvent):void {menu_over.gotoAndPlay("menu_op");
}function onOut(e:MouseEvent):void {menu_over.gotoAndPlay("menu_beneden");
}

I would like to be able to click a button on a flash menu, programmatically.
This means, unfortunately, that tabbing over to it or hard-coding the X and Y coordinates of the button will not work (due to using multiple threads, neither of these approaches works while running in the background).
I tried doing this with Javascript, but automating it that way does not work because the individual items are inaccessible in Flash.
The reason I'm asking is because I'm attempting to load-test our application which interacts with a flash menu in order to build a report. From what I can tell, the low-end or open-source load-testing utilities don't offer much support in the way of flash navigation.
building a button Menu which contains links, on hover it has to slide down and again on clicking it has to collapse..like the File, Edit buttons in explorer in As3.0. Pls attach the code if you have ready to use.

I made a Flash menu with this tutorial:[URL]The animation is different but the scripting is basically the same. I have animated buttons (They're actually movie clips though) that play one animation on rollover, and a different animation on rollout.
What I want to do, is have the button stay on the over state if it's clicked, (so people know what page they're on) until another button is clicked in which case it would do the rollout animation, and then the new button would stay clicked.

But the scripting is different I'm not sure how to make it work with what I already have, and I don't really want to start over completely.
i was making asimple menu .
ActionScript Code:
var currentLink:MovieClip = a_mc;
//buttons mode[code]...........
when i click on the button the alpha of this button will be 0.5 , when i click on another button the alpha of the previous button is still 0.5 , and so if i clicked on all buttons the alpha of all buttons will be 0.5,,,i didn't want that , i want when i click on the button , alpha return to 1 for the previous button .
i new to actionscript and am not sure where to begin so i will explin what i would like to do. i have a myspace site that i have created a div overlay with...<a [URL] now what i would like to do is use actionscript so when you click on the menu button a image wil pop up in the ipod screen and when u click the play button something else will pop up
