Action Doesn't Execute In Player
Nov 9, 2009In the app I'm working on (AS 2.0) I have several buttons. I've added an action to each of those buttons:
on (release){ gotoAndPlay("fr_test");}
When in Flash, if I enable (Control) Simple Buttons and Simple Actions, this action works like it should. If I test the movie or publish it, the action doesn't execute.
I've tried another approach with one button. I added an empty layer for actions only, and added the following code:
this.test_btn.onRelease=function(){ gotoAndPlay("fr_test");}
This doesn't work at all, nor in Flash nor in the player. I wonder what I'm doing wrong here. Changing fr_test to the frame number does not change anything.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Clear Stage To Execute Next Action?
Oct 21, 2009This 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.xplanation: 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..).

Oct 20, 2009how 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.

ActionScript 2.0 :: CS4 Play Check For Key / Play At End Execute Action
Apr 6, 2011Root timeline: keyframe 1, keyframe 2, etc...
-keyframe 1 has a MC "frist MC"
-keyframe 2 has a MC "second MC", etc.
-the MCs are all duplicates containing different animation, but have the same AS inside them.
The construction of the MC is:Play intro animation -> Stop and wait for key stroke. If key is "space" set variable value to 1, if else set variable value to 0, then continue to play next frame. -> Complete the animation till the last frame.In the last frame check what is the value of the variable to check which key was been hit. If it was a space (var =1) go to root and play current frame +1 (go forward), Else, go to root and play current frame -1 (go back)Its a kind of slideshow.so heres the code in the middle, after the intro animation was played:[code] The problem with var reverse is, it works well in the first frame, its beign filled with value depending on what key is being hit, But in the last frame, when the time comes to check the value, trace says its "undefined".I have tried setting up a _global.variablename = reverse and it works in both frames (the check at the end is succesful, it detects the given value), but still the last frame only plays the currentframe -1 as if always executing the "else" command, no matter what the value of var reverse is.

Actionscript 3.0 :: Alternative To Key.isDown Conditional Statement?
Oct 19, 2010I have a logic-sorta question about finding an alternative to an if/else statement that controls key.isDown detection.(NOTE: I am using senocular's KeyObject class, the utility found on his website senocular.com, that returns key.IsDown functionality to AS3)
typically in most game/character movement tutorials I see this:
Code: Select allif (key.isDown(Keyboard.RIGHT))
moveRight();
else if (key.isDown(Keyboard.LEFT))
[code]....
The problem im having with this code is the fact that theres an order it checks the keys due to the if/else statement.For example, if I was holding down the LEFT key and then simultaniously began holding down the RIGHT key, the RIGHT key's function would execute and override whatever the LEFT key's function was doing, since the RIGHT key is the first thing checked in the if/else statment.
The only work-around i can think of is making all the keys a single If statement, and a switch statement that controlls the movement. Which im having a lot of trouble getting to work at the moment...
ActionScript 2.0 :: Key.isDown ... Three-key Combos - ASD Keys Won't Work
Mar 23, 2010I'm working on a game where movement is controlled with WASD, and other commands are controlled with YUIOHJKLNM<>. The problem I'm encountering occurs when pressing down certain combinations of three keys. For example, when I'm holding down J and M, the ASD keys won't work; only W will. The same applies to J and N, and K and <; W is the only key of the movement commands that will work.
There is nothing in my programming that I can see or find that is causing this error; I've performed several tests and managed to pretty much isolate the problem being something to do with the keycodes. Does actionscript 2.0 have some inherent issues with certain 3-key combinations being pressed?
ActionScript 2.0 :: If Key.isDown, Stay Down - Toggle Switch?
Jun 16, 2011How do I make it so that a key down function acts as a hard on/off switch, Instead of the momentary temporary toggle normally associated with "if Key.isdown"
Example: The "CONTROL" key is pressed, gotoAndPlay's an action, until the key is pressed again, which then gotoAndStop'S the action. Would I still use "if Key.isDown" or something else entirely.
ActionScript 2.0 :: If(Key.isDown) + Unload The Previous Movie Clips
Feb 5, 2009I'm working on a pretty neat interactive music remixing site where you remix a song, then interact with a music video to make some cool stuff happen. I saw a few related posts on here, but I've got a bit of a more specific problem. originally I had the controls set so that whenever you click the mouse on the background (which I set as one giant blank button), that it would load a movie clip and unload the previous one:
[Code]....
This has been working fine, although now I'm trying to change the overall controls to assign every key on the keyboard to load a particular movie clip at the mouse x,y when pressed AND to unload the movie clip when it is pressed again. I think I might be applying the code to the wrong portion (in a blank frame in the timeline, not as part of any button or movie clip). I had the code setup so that I wasn't getting any errors, but nothing is happening when pressing the key. I also don't have a start on how to tell if a key has already been pressed, to perform a second action when pressed again (to unload the assigned movie clip). Here's what I've got so far:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Incorporate A Stop Action, After A GotoandPlay Action On My Button?
May 8, 2009I have a slideshow that is looped ... it contains 5 slides.I am using a gotoandPlay action to control the slide show.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
}
There is a fade transition between slides.When a button is released ... I want to gotoandPlay (frame 98) ... and then have it stop 10 frames later on (frame 108). Frame 98 includes the transition ... if I just gotoandStop on frame 108 ... I loose the transition.Is there any way to incorporate a stop action, after a gotoandPlay action on my button ... without naming instances etc.I.E.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
STOP ON FRAME 108 INTEGRATED HERE
}
Everything I have attempted is not working.
Click On The Button Action And It Animates But No Action Event In The Trace?
May 23, 2009I just want to make a simple button action using actionscript 2 but I can't get it to work! I'm sorry for even asking but I've been at this for too long now for it to not work I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 and I do the following --
File -> New Flash File (ActionScript 2.0)
Insert -> New Symbol
Name - test
Type - button
Export for ActionScript
Identifier - test
And then draw it in using the keyframes and add the code to 'Actions - Button' for my button
Code:
on(release) {
trace("trace");
}
I click on the button and it animates but no action event in the trace?
