ActionScript 2.0 :: Linking Dropdown Button To Scene
Mar 6, 2006
I've got a dropdown menu in which i need to link to another scene on my site. The actionscript on the button i'm using is working if i put the link on the button on the main timeline, but when i nest the button inside the movieclip dropdown menu the actionscript on the button doesn't seem to work.url...The dropdown menu is on the left side, (actually a drop right menu,lol).And, also, the rest of the site still needs a lot of work so please don't comment on that.

Drop Down menu with the buttons linking to different videos in the same frame...sounds really easy, but I can't seem to wrap my head around it. Now I've got the video and player down in AS2. I also have the drop down buttons created (using this tutorial: [URL]). How I get these two to work together?

I've converted a graphic that i imported into a button. And put this action script on it to go to a certain scene.
on (press) {
gotoAndPlay("2,1");
}
This button should make the movie go to scene 2, frame 1, but its just not workinBackground info:The first scene is jsut a short intro where a couple buttons finally come up in a keyframe. In the keyframe itself, I have a stop action so the main scene doesnt loop. And on each button I have the action that i wrote above, to go to certain scenes depending on which button i click. Am i totally setting this up wrong structurally? Do i need to put any kind of "Reset" action if i want to go back to a previous scene. Also, in each scene, I have a mouse hide and replace action, could this have anything to do with it?

I am working on a project which is basically a virtual tour of a house. Each room I have made on seperate scenes, some rooms are on more than one scene (diff view points) and some room have a panoramic effect (these are the ones causing the problems). To accheive the panoramic scrolling I have made the room as a mC. Inside the mC I have buttons which should link to other scenes... 'enter the problem'. how do I link to another scene from in there? I have tried :

So I have 3 buttons. One button links to an animation, the second button links to a different animation, and the third one shows the links. The first button works properly, but when I click on the second button, it goes back to the animation that is shown at the first button. How do I fix this? Here is my code for the first button:
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,mou seDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(1, "random");
}
I have made sure that the button's instance name is button2, and that the scene name is "random".
Here is my code for the second button:
button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,mou seDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler2(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(1, "random1");
}

I do have a mc with a dynamic text box in it, this dynamic text box is linked to an texternal text file where I have the text I wanted to be shown in my mc when I publish the movie.
When you see the text in the movie I want to be able to use part of the text as a button to redirect the timeline to another scene and exact frame. For the moment I try everything I could but no luck.
This is the script I have in the text file for the monent and is redirecting to frame 11 in the same mc.
myHTMLdata=<p><font color="#999999">.................................. .................................................. .............................................</font></p><p><i><a href='asfunction:gotoAndPlay,11'>Tower Ultramort</a>
My question is what is missing in my script if a want to link the text Tower Ultramort to and scene call spultramort frame 11.
This is very important because I do have the website with dynamic text boxes all over it and I need to link them to different scenes.
Here is the link for the website: [URL]

I'm getting this error in the OUTPUT window, when I PREVIEW (COMMAND + RETURN) my SWF:
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label nGallery_btn not found in scene Scene 1.
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop()
at BrookBrovazMusic004_fla::MainTimeline/pageSelect()
- The funny thing is that the SWF works the way I want it to. You can view it here: http://brookbrovaz.com
- I just don't like the idea that something's wrong, according to the OUTPUT window anyway.

When creating a dropdown for a button, I noticed the dropdown will stop working if the button does not run the entire length of the timeline. i.e.: if you navigate to a page that is out of that button's "range" it will stop working unless reset by returning to the root page. Nesting the problematic button in a movie, however, solves this problem...

This might be trying to be too tricky, but I have a set of keyframes on the timeline that correspond to the buttons on my xml drop down. When I am on a particular frame, I want the button for that frame and the mainItem button that it drops down from to have some sort of highlight or extra glow. This is meant to be so that a user can see where they are in the project at any time. All the code is included in my previous posts on xml drop down menu..
I can find the buttons by checking if they have certain text on them, so now I want to
1) Set a variable on each keyframe
var a:String="page1";
and then have some code that says
if(a=="page 1")....[go and get the button] e.currentTarget.menuText.text=="Questions" [and do something to it ]<-- except it wont be the current target it will just be out there with that text on it..

I'm having with a menu navigation system. I'm using Flash MX. I have created a menu system for the site I'm building ([URL]) where one of the buttons "Choose photographer" drops down a list of names. All the other buttons just jump to another page. The drop down is currently using tweens also the logo moves to the left as the dropdown appears and returns when the dropdown returns. All working fine apart from its a bit jerky.
It's I just wanted to get away from tweening and use action scripts instead, as I'm a newbie to all things Flash I trawled the net for tutorials and examples so that I could cobble together the exact same effect. I have managed to get the drop down work and return using the action script and it does seem smoother and works slightly better. But can I get the logo to move to the left and back in time with the drop down...no.

I'm creating a webpage, and I have made some buttons.Image 1 is the homepage, which is frame 1 in Flash.Image 2 shows that when I rollover the button "Portfolio,"I get a dropdown menu.I have this set as frame 3 in Flash.Image 3 shows that I've gone down the dropdown menu and rolled over "Photography." But if I rollout of any of the things from the dropdown menu, it stays at Image 2 (Frame 3)with the dropdown menu visible. Which is a problem...I want to be able to rollout of these buttons to revert back to the homepage, Image 1 (Frame 1).But, for instance, telling "Graphic Design" to go to Frame 1 on rollout means that if I try to go below "Graphic Design" to "Photography," I've rolled out--and so the rest of the menu disappears.So I want to roll be able to select anything from the dropdown menu, and only rollout to Frame 1 if I go outside the entire dropdown menu, not just one button.

Here's my new question: What code I have to input in a button file in Flash, for that when I click it opens a site I've made, in a browser? I'm doing my website in Flash, and the other website I want to put the link was made in Dreamweaver. It's not hosted, it's in my pen, that's why I'm having problems with the code.

I have created mc's (movie clips) for each one of my pages and for pages within those pages, if you can understand that lol. The problem I am having is, linking from one mc to another.
Example: I am in my home page movie clip, and I have a "read more" button on one of the articles, when a user clicks on this button I want him to be redirected to the page that article is on.
In my case, I am making a website that gives users information on Paris, France. On my home page I have an article that speaks about Napoleonic and I have created a "read more" button. The information on Napoleonic is on the landmarks page(which is its own movie clip). When the user clicks on the "read more" button I want him to be redirected to the page thats in its own movie clip with the info.

I have created seven buttons using Flash version 9 following a tutorial on this site [URL]. The buttons function the way they were designed, however, when I attempt to link them with a URL or a unpublished website file (eg. contact.html or index.html) the button brings up the "TextEdit" application on my Mac.
The action script 3 code that I am using:
btn_6.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("contact.html"), "_same");}
I have even tried using action script 2 code after changing the publish settings to AS2:
btn_6.onRelease=function(){
getURL("[URL]", _same);}
The results are the same. When I test the buttons, they link to an application on my Mac. All of my buttons are on the same layer.
