ActionScript 2.0 :: Get The Invisible Button To Go To A Frame
Feb 24, 2011
I'm using AS2.
I have invisible buttons on a movie clip that is loading swfs onto a parent movie clip. I hope I am current in the terminology. Are a parent and root the same? Is saying root absolute and parent relative? I'm digressing.
So, this this._parent.gotoAndPlay("contact form"); is going to the keyframe named "contact form" and it will stop there. What I want to happen, is, I want the other invisible button named aboutmeMC2 to go back to the keyframe named "skip" so my contact form will no longer show up and it will load the external swf.
ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("contact form");
aboutmeMC2._root.gotoAndPlay("skip");

I want to make the timeline go to the next frame (ie gotoAndStop) only if two button instances are invisible. For the buttons I have scripted an on(release) to make them invisible, but I don't know how to use the if function to make my animation progress when they are both invisible.

I've got a basic little slide show player which is timeline-based, rolling through 5 images with alpha transitions, and on the topmost layer, I have 5 invisible movie clips which have actions applied to them as follows:
on (press) { gotoAndPlay(21);}
This action should allow for the on click button to navigate to that specific frame, or image, but for some reason it is not working.

This is for a website with seven frames (one page per frame)
I can load the gallery .swf in background but I only want it to show up on frame 7 (gallery button). Then if the user goes anywhere else (eg. home button - frame 1) the loaded gallery .swf disappears.
I can load it and make it invisible, and can make it visible on frame 7 but then it's visible when you navigate anywhere else.
This is the load code on entering frame 1:
stop();
//make gallery invisible in this frame
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, invisible);
function invisible (event:Event):void

I am a Flash novice who has worked through a couple of the standard introductory books on Flash in Actionscript 3 and some of the online tutorials. However I cannot work out how to do the following: A button A (I know how to design buttons including invisible ones) is on the stage. A user clicks on this button which then causes a text to appear at another location of the stage. This text includes an invisible button B. The text tells the user to click on it with the result that the text, including the invisible button B, disappears but if the user reclicks button A then the text with button B should appear again.

I have a combobox and when selected i would like to show the data in an input text box. The text box appears on another frame and i was advised to make the combo box invisible after i used it and retain its presence on the timeline. I thought i would be able to duplicate the combobox i needed and place it on the frame with the input text box, but this didnt work, neither did duplicating the actions. Been trying for the last couple of hours and have hit a brick wall, hoping someone can point me in the general direction.

I am making a video player based on the Video Basics tutorials Lee put up a while back.
I am working on a custom controlBar with autohide. Basically, when i mouse over the video area I want them to pop up, and when I mouse out of the video area I want them to disappear. I have setup the controlBar movieclip itself with "show" and "hide" frame labels. Each one plays a fade in/out sequence a few frames long, no big deal. That is the easy part and works fine.
In order to detect the onRollOver and onRollOut events for the video area I made an invisible button on top of it called "butt". It works fine too.
Code: Select allbutt.onRollOut = function() {
trace("out of video");
controlBar.gotoAndPlay("hide");
};
[Code].....
Invisible button layer above controlBar layer: When i roll onto the video area the controlBar pops up, but I cannot access the buttons on it (play, rewind, etc) because they are now underneath the invisible button that monitors the rollOver and rollOut of the video area, which apparently wont let anything under it be clicked. How can I gain access to these buttons?
Controlbar layer above Invisible Button layer: When I roll onto the video area the controlBar pops up fine, but once I mouse over the control bar flash thinks I am leaving the bounds of the invisible button and tries to hide the controlBar right away, which causes me to "re-enter" the invisible button, so it just bounces back and forth between showing and hiding the controls.
How can I monitor the video area and still have access to the buttons on the controlBar once it pops up?

I am having a problem linking an invisible button to a url. I have 3 invisible buttons that have an action script as follows:
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickHan dler1);
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickHan dler2);
button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickHan dler3);
function clickHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("mywebsite"));

I have two motion-tween animated movie clips used as "buttons" which I would like to link to various html pages on my site. Using invisible buttons works, but I can no longer see the animation. If I put it under the movie clip layer, it no longer responds. Is normal, or should I place the invisible button within the editable movie clip?

I'm sure this is something easy that I'm missing, but I can't figure it out. How do I make a button invisible? I need it to be invisible through frame 43 of my movie. I have tried changing the alpha to 0, but it's not letting me change that, except in the edit button mode which changes it for the entire duration and not just through frame 43.

Im a bit a of a noob when it comes to AS. I have a problem that I think should be very easy to solve.
I have a shape that I turned into a button and gave it an instance name of "CA" I also have an array that has a string item called "CA"
I want to be able to make the button invisible by using the array instead of just writing the instance name. I have the following code but it just doesnt work.

I've built an image scroller but I'd like to make the 'next' and 'previous' buttons invisible at the first and last frames frames respectively. The code I'm using for the scroll is below. I think the code I'm after should be something like this:
HTML Code:
if (targetX<720) {
btn_Previous.visible = false;
}
But I can't work out where I should put it (or even if it's correct) within the scroller code.

Everything was working perfect until I added an invisible button to the first 315 frames and added the Link_1 clickTag code. We use an ad server so I have to use the clickTag code that they provided for each external link. I am not sure why it worked just fine before I added in the invisible button and now it does not. I am wondering if the Fire Animation movie (see AS3 down below) is somehow comflicting with the button being overtop of it?I used the Debugger and it says:[Code]....

I have an invisible button that on rollover should play a movie clip. Within that movie clip I need it to play frame 33. However, when I use the following code it does absolutely nothing. Instance name of the movie clip is "flavorIcons"
on (rollOver) {flavorIcons.gotoandPlay(33);}
