I have many buttons in my interface --so I have many eventListeners running.
I want to set all non-button graphics to displayObject.mouseEnabled = false.
This works with some of the graphics. but not all.
The main shape (the big purple faceplate) of the interface continues to react to the mouseclick.

now i've divided my scene with frames labeled. say: at frame 1, it's my about section. At frame 20, its my photo section, etc. on the same scene, i've created my menu to navigate to these sections. each button calls a frame label, and the proper ainmation happens, and then, you're in the section you chose. NOW... (i have a feeling i should of thought about that earlier...) i'm trying to figure out a way to tell my button to be unclickable (and hightlighted) while you're in its section, until you leave that section. i know that my site is probably NOT constructed the way it should be. but starting over isnt really an option, since i have a deadline...
View 6 RepliesI have a HBox with no background, but with some children. Behind the HBox is a button which need to be clicked. The button is unclickable at the moment because the HBox is on top of it. I need the button to be clickable and still have the HBox on top of it

View 1 RepliesI've made a site where an iframe calls to a top navigation element, with a javascript drop down menu. I have it working where the menu drops over a center flash element, but even when the menu is not "dropped" - any element in that area on the flash does not respond to clicks.
I've changed z indexes, and now i cant seem to get the flash file to even be ontop of the iframe -

I'm using Flash CS3 and want to create a custom ComboBox. I've followed the steps outlined in "Editing component skins in a new document" (http:/[url]...), but every time I get to the step where I drag the ComboBox Assets folder from the HaloTheme.fla library into my library, if I test movie at that point my combobox has become an unclickable white rectangle with no label, button or anything.
View 2 RepliesI would like to make a small player where two sounds* can be compared.
- PLAY and CHANGE buttons
- On pressing PLAY button, two sounds (Sound-A and Sound-B for example) should play simultaneously (at the same time).
- While those two sounds play, Sound-B should be MUTED and Sound-A should be hear.
- On pressing CHANGE button, the situation changes: Sound-A is muted and Sound-B can be hear. And vice-versa.
*two sounds: both songs are the same, but one of them is remastered

I have a simple illustration with 4 buttons. Each button calls in a different SWF (movie) . The SWF fades into place and when you click on a different button it is removed and a new one fades into the same position.
My question is: How can I make the swf fade out completely after playing without pressing another button, so that I can see through my illustration in the background?

How can I make the loadMovie keep looping after playing once?
loadMovie("leftback_a1.swf","videoHolder");
I want leftback_a1.swf to keep looping and playback after it finishes.
And how can I control the playback of the leftback_a1.swf? Meaning if I have a button to click to stop it and it will pause and a button to click to play and it will play from where it paused.
Ok, so I have a main swf that loads an external swf into a movie clip called container_mc.In that external swf I want to stop it from playing and also make a play_btn appear so that the user may start it going again when they are ready. In my main swf I made this function:
ActionScript Code:
function pauseMovie(){
trace("movie paused");

I would like to make a preloader that has a movie clip playing. It's basically a looping movieclip.

View 2 RepliesI have a movieClip name BlackScreen. In that BlackScreen mc I have a timeline which stops and a video which I converted to a movieClip named video_mc plays on that frame.I have a button named x10_btn in BlackScreen mc which navigates back to my main timeline. Can someone please tell me how to make my movie stop playing when x10_btn is pressed. when I imported the video I chose "Load external video with playback component" .Here's the code in my actions layer of BlackScreen mc
stop();
x10_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,mouseDownHandler10);function mouseDownHandler10(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(41);}
Once playhead gets to frame 41 the BlackScreen mc has completed animation and returns to main timeline.Currently, when playhead reaches back to main timeline the video sound continues to play and overlaps other sounds.
How to make sanpshot from playing video through button click? (to local machine)
I have 2 flash banners (using ActionScript 2) on my web page, how can I make them start playing at the same time, after the page has fully loaded? Both .SWF files are embedded in HTML using the script provided by Adobe on object export. I created both in Flash CS4, but I have very little knowledge of flash. I read about "LocalConnection", but I have no idea how to implement it in flash.

I've got an infographic I'm working on, and every time I roll over an image (a ring) the alpha goes up to 100, then I roll out and it goes back to 50. That much I'm good with.
Then, I click on each one of them, and a movie clip (built inside of each ring/button) pops up and plays. Fair enough.
I've got a script (ugly, but it works!) that will hide all other buttons while this movie clip is playing. But, when I click to close it, I can't figure out a way to make them reappear. I tried putting visible = true again for all of them, but no dice.
The actionscript for it is right below.
I'm not sure if there's anything I can do to make it modal in AS3 or something like that. Or should I go ahead and set it up in a parent/child kind of way (not too well-versed in that regard.
All the buttons to click on are in the same layer and I'm not sure if making them different layers in Flash would make any difference.
stop();
ring1926.movie1926.visible = false;
// add a rollover to make the inside movieclip appear

What I am trying to accomplish here is to have my main movie resume playing when an external movie is closed. I.E. How can I make my main know that the external movie is closed and to "re activate certain functions" and to resume playing?
Oh, not too sure if this is needed, but I am loading the external movie with an external preloader that loads the movie. The main movie loads, and external preloader, which actually loads the external movie. Again not sure if this effects anything.
I have 6 scenes, the first scene has 5 pictures that i converted to buttons. each button goes to a different scene to play the appropriate movie clip. right now it shows up with scene 1, then i click on the button and it goes to the appropriate movie clip but after it finishes playing it just goes to the next clip on the next scene, then after it is finished it goes to the next clip on the next scene and so on. i would like to know is there some way i can make the movie clips return to scene 1 after they finish playing?

I'm using AS2. I have an ordinary FLV video playing with one of the skins that comes with the Flash software (CS3). That all works perfectly fine. What I need to do, however, is add a large "PLAY" button over top of the movie. I have made that work also. But, I need the button to disappear when the movie starts playing, because it is obviously in the way and making it hard to view the video.
Some forums suggested making that button disappear when it is clicked. That would be fine, except that the video player skin also has a play button, and if someone clicks that button instead of my new large button, I still need the large button to disappear.
So what I'm trying to figure out how to do is something like: if the FLV is playing, make this object (the button) disappear or become invisible. This can't be that difficult!

var lastPosition:Number = 0;

I am using AS2 in CS5.5.I am creating a project for a class that introduced me to adobe flash. The issue is I have gotten to a certain point about 15 scenes. During say the 15th scene scrolling through the timeline animations works fine, playing it on test scene works fine. When I go to play it on test movie it stops at a certain point. At first I thought it might have been a misplaced stop action but there is none to be found. The weird part is every other scene I create after that continues to freeze as well, the images are there, but the animations won't play. All my previous animations play before those with the issue, it's justThese new ones won't play for some reason in test movie, but work completely fine in test scene and the timeline.

If the VIDEO (FLV) is done playing, gotoAndPlay(X)?
I was wondering, what was the best way to for actionscript 3.0 to detect cuepoints playing from a FLV movie that is playing from an FLV playback component?
