I have a simple message-board, that dynamically loads text from php and a text file! I have created an up and down button to scroll the text box when you press it! This works fine, but I cannot figure out how to keep scrolling the text if you hold the button down. here is my code for the down button (all my attempts at looping etc I got rid of):
[Code]...
Im new to AS3 (like 5 hours new) and Im after getting stuck with something Im sure is very simple, but Im just not having much luck finding a solution. Basically I have a button which I want to click and hold and then make a movieclip move up and down the y axis. This is what I have so far...
[Code]...
Im sure Im probably going about it in a bizarre way, Im just trying to do it in a way which makes sense to me. So far its working fine for single clicks, so I click the button and the "upwards" function is called which moves the movieclip upwards by 10. The problem Im having is getting it to move continously when the button is clicked and held. Ive read a few possible suggestions relating to loops and setinterval but I just cant seem to make sense of them in a way that applies to what I want to do. Apologies if this is really simple but Ive literally been teaching myself actionscript for all of about 5 hours in total so far and I just cant seem to get past this hurdle.
Ive made two simple up/down buttons, that "scrolls" a loaded movie by the following code (lets say the movie is loaded to level 5):
_level5._y += 5;
Very simple.
Well, Id like to be able to hold down the button and have the movie scroll continously, like the scroll++ code does for textboxes.Is that possible?
I've got a symbol on stage and a button. The button rotates the symbol CCW half a degree. Code: on(release){ mySymbol._rotation -= 0.5;} I wanna add an on (press and hold) action on button so that the symbol will be rotated continuously when the button is on hold.. I can't make this work for over a week now.
View 7 RepliesI have this code that basically reads some text from a txt file and then scrolls it across my flash document. I want it to loop, so when it gets to the end of the text, it replays it.

I am a new user of flash 5 software and want to learn about few stuff. I want to know how do we implement the scrolling of the text in the textbox which do not have the buttons for navigation. Instead it start automatically once the page is loaded.
View 1 RepliesI'm making a menu. It consist of three mc's (btn1, btn2 and btn3) and two squares The two squares rescale horizontal in different directions depending on the button that is presses. When the squares come to an hold there is a little gap between them underneath the button that was presses and the button is going 20 pixels down into that gap. Below is the code I have used:
Code:
MovieClip.prototype.yPos = function(y){
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
this._y += (y - this._y)/3;
[code]....
When the movie starts everything is fine. First the two squares are rescaling. When that is done the buttons are fading in and finaly btn1 is going 20 pixels down in to the gap. But what I would like to accomplish now is that when btn2 is pressed that first btn1 is going back up again when that is done that the two squares are rescaling untill the gap is below btn2 and that after that btn 2 is going down 20 pixels.
And that is where I have problems. Point one when I don't know how to integrate a if (if used) in the button event, so everything is going to move at the same time(btn2 already moves before the squares are in place and the squares are already moving before btn1 is back up again) and secondly the way I have it now btn1 is indeed moving back up again, but after that its up it also going back down again.
I created flash buttons for a website and imported them into dreamweaver, put the site up and everythings working finee, EXCEPT, the mouse down feature of my button doesn't play all the way unless you hole down the mouse button. My mouse over feature works fine.

Kindly check the website [URL]. The Flash banner on the top has links like Home, Services, etc. on Mouse Over of it, it flickers. But when we navigate it to other pages such as Services, it wont. It happens only in Home Page.

View 6 RepliesI am trying to figure out how to make a script that allows you to click a button, and once it is clicked, the button remains in it's over state. Then, when another button is clicked, the old button that was in its over state reverts to its off state, and the newly clicked button then appears in an over state. How would I do this?

I am trying to move a shape across the screen incrementaly as someone holds a button.This is what I have so far.
on (press) {
shape._y -= 5;
}
This works but I have to press the button about a hundred times to move the shape across the screen.
Button a, when pressed triggers a few things. I triggers a mask to tween in to uncover some text. But the movie will only play as long as i have the button pressed .
View 4 RepliesI've created an image with a dozen irregular buttons. It all works perfectly. Now I want to edit my flash cs5 file in a way so that, when clicked upon one button, the last of the 4 states (the hitbox state) will remain visible until one clicks another button. Now its looping back to the fist state. Im sure there must be an easy way to do this, something with a stop code maybe?

Currently building a dynamic menu system, with 3 levels of navigation. Currently when mouse children is set to 'true' it doesn't want to remember the name of the menu item created. it spits out, 'instance263' or whatever the number is when I trace it out with my onClick event. With mouseChildren set to 'false' my 3rd tier of navigation ceases to work.
The Goal here is to have the menu items retain an instance name so I can relate back to them and set active states for the current active module. UPDATE: Here is where the problem arises

Is it possible to create a button that when you press it and hold it, it will play a sound, and when you release it then stops the sound?
View 2 Replieslook at the footer below, you'll see a circle around your head. That's your head. If you hold mouse button the MC plays. NOW...if the field vision (green thing) touches your head WHILE holding mouse button...it sends you to frame 2 or choose your own.
View 7 RepliesI'm currently having difficulty with input text fields. I have a flash file that begins with a form for the destined user to input text. Once they have input their text they click a button to continue and user is now shown a results page comprising of the text they have just entered. This i have managed to do.
However, when users click the 'go back button' to return to the form, possibly to correct a mistake they may have made, it seems that the text that they had entered previously has now been lost, and the input text fields have gone back to their original state.
how i can allow my users to return back to the form to make text changes, and have the form remember what text was inputed by the user and does not wipe the input text fields empty?
So if you press and hold a button, it does the function once, then waits 0.5 of a second or so then repeats the action quickly. How do I remove the 0.5 of a second wait?

Noob question, I hope. I need to create scrolling text areas with rich text format content. I know I can use the textArea component and set the htmlText property but converting all of my RTF to HTML is gonna be a major pain in the @$$. I keep getting into trouble thinking what's mindlessly easy in Director/Lingo is gonna be reasonably simple in Flash/AS3, I hoping this is just my inexperience with Flash getting in the way. Is there an easier way? I thought of embedding a PDF document but apparently that's not an option in Flash either (note: I know how to link a PDF doc, I need this text to display and scroll within the application, not just pop a new window on top).
