If I have 10 buttons, how do I keep track of the order of buttons I click on? For example, if I click buttons only in this order: button3, button6, button8, button2, something will happen. Maybe plays a sound tone such as sound.mp3. I'm going to use actionscript 2.0 in my movie.

View 11 RepliesI've got about 6 buttons laid out, one on top of the other in a list format. In their normal state the buttons are grey in colour, when I rollover them, the buttons flash and turn to orange. Now, what I need to happen is this: I want the buttons to stay orange once clicked and only roll out back to grey when the user has clicked on another button in the list. I've been told that the best way to do this is via adding a listener, however I am a little unsure as to how to go about this. I've checked the flash help file and have a basic understanding of how listeners work...but can't really wrap my head around applying it to this situation. Perhaps I will need to have all the buttons as separate broadcasters?

View 9 RepliesI am creating a navigation bar in Flash (which will then be used in Dreamweaver). When you mouse over each topic in menu (ex. Products), i want it play a movie clip (so it shoots out a sub-menu underneath). so far so good, but the only thing is, the sub-menu won't stay open in order for me to click on buttons in it. For each button, I assigned it the Behavior to go to a url. Also, I tested the buttons within the mc and they don't seem to direct me to url. do you think maybe it's because it's nested within the movie clip?? Is there an easier way to go about this?

So i have this bit of code that triggers a bunch of stuff on a buttons over/out/down etc... I also have a variable on the _root time line that declares a clicked variable so i can keep track of the buttons click state. Ok so now the trouble... Im changing my (working) buttons to movieclip buttons to take advantage of the MC properties (ie. goToPlay - etc.. ). But this screws up my working AS and im not sure why? In particular the "if" statement that keeps track of the clicked variable does not seem to be functioning. Is there a problem putting if statement on a MC button? How do i fix this? Here is the code i'm using on my MC button:

-Alright so I have made a next, and a prev button. That navigate the timeline inside an mc "tabs_mc." This mc ison the the main stage.-When the next and prev buttons are pressed they goto 1 of 4 frame labels on this timeline inside tabs_mc.-When one of these lables is reached an mc "thumbs" appears on the screen / stage.-These mc's "thumbs1, thumbs2, thumbs3, and thumbs4" contain buttons that SHOULD be clickable.-But are not after the prev, and next buttons are press. They are before the next, and prev button are press, but not after.
way this is or even better how to keep these buttons enabled after the next, prev buttons are clicked?I thought of making some sort of boolean to tell the each button that is needs to stay "true" after prev, and next are pressed.But I'm a beginner so I don't know where to start.Heres the next, and prev button code:
HTML Code:
//Button Listeners
/////next_mc.buttonMode = true;

I'm trying to do something I'm sure which is really basic and hope some wonderful person out their could spare me a few mins of time before I top myself. I have 8 buttons that appear after a very poor animation sequence which all link to different websites. I simply want to track in a .csv file what buttons people click, and if possible to wack a date and time stamp against when each button was clicked. I bet you're thinking this guys a complete fool for posting this but the last time I used Flash was version 4 and that was for basic banner animation. I don't have the foggy-ist about AS 2.0 or 3.0 and I've been reading I need to use .PHP script to pass the data out to the CSV file (SCARY for someone who see's code as gobble-de-gook).

I need to know which button is pressed, so i use the (tricky) unprofessional methode: event.target.name.the question is; how can I know which button is pressed, using a custom event, this custom event should pass some vars to the called function, including the j var (from the loop)actually I tried setting a custom event using the example at the noponies accordion menue class, but it's so complicated to get working.
I will inlcude here to code i used and a zipped folder containing all the files of my mp3 player. What i would like to do, (i am not an actionscript expert and did this following a tutorial) is to include a download button for the track which is being listened, be able to insert the playlist 'track buttons' inside the scrollpane on the stage, and sort an annoying bug which makes the music form the player continue even when i leave the section of the site where its in, keeping the music in the background running and starting a new track ontop every time i renter the section where the player is placed.

When I click one of the 4 buttons, the image related to that button has to move to the hightest position. And ofcourse the previous highest one should be the one under the new highest image.

I have 8 movie clips. They are set up to disappear when clicked.on (release) {this._visible = false;}The problem I am facing is that I want the movie clips to be clicked in a certain order, so mc1 has to be clicked (and disappear) before mc2 can be active and click-able. That way the user has to click on them in order for them to disappear.

View 2 RepliesI am making a game for the university I attend. I am having students choose between college and high school by two buttons to see if they choose the correct answer. Then I want it to display the number correct on a result page I will have them print out for the instructor of their freshman seminar class.Can flash remember if a specific button was clicked? I have each button with a unique name and could it tell which one was clicked to help me figure out results?
Otherwise, I was wondering if there was a way I could have flash keep track of "points" so I can display the number correct. Would it be possible if I gave each button a numeric value and somehow added up the numbers from each button to put over a total score of 12 (that's how many questions there are)? Could it be done in a dynamic text field?
I recieved some help earlier with actionscript 3.0 and buttons. I wanted my buttons to load in a swf file into the main flash document when clicked.

View 8 RepliesI'll explain the problem I have having as Im sure there are a few solutions, I have a flash website which has four main links, HOME, SERVICES, BLOG, CONTACT.
When the services button is pressed 5 more buttons come in from the right hand side each is slightly delayed to give a stacking effect.
The problem is if the user clicks on the Services button and then quickly presses the another button the service buttons tween in onto the wrong page!
The solution I am thinking is to set a time delay on the services button so when it is pressed the other buttons are delayed for a few seconds to give time for all teh serivecs buttons to tween in.
If so how could I implement it? I have bene trying many things to get it to work, I almost have it, but the delay only works the first time the button is pressed and I cant seem to get the timer to reset!
