ActionScript 2.0 :: Making Movieclips Invisible On Load?
Mar 1, 2007
I have several movieclips placed on the timeline that I want to be invisible and not run until the user clicks a button. The movieclips are linked to a class I set up:
Code:
class Hidestop extends MovieClip {
function onLoad() {
[Code]....
The problem is that some, but not all, movieclips show briefly when they load before becoming invisible. I can get around this by starting each movieclip with a blank frame, but there must be a better way.

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.

I have a button inside a movie clip that when pressed it launches another movie clip. That part works great. The problem I'm having now is either removing the original movie clip or at the very least making it invisible when the next movie launches. So far for my button script this is what I have:
onRollOver=function(){
this.gotoAndPlay("_over");
};
onRollOut=function(){

I have a movieClip called "button" within another movieClip called "movie1_mc" I want the "button" movieclip, which also loads XML on frame 12 of "movie1_mc to vanish on or after frame 13
This is the code I have in place but, "button" movieClip isn't disappearing. This is my first time using XML and Flash
//Code to "button movieClip disappear//
if (_root._currentframe == 13) {var linkname:Array = [_visible=false];}

I'm having trouble targeting elements of an array using AS3. I have five buttons in an array named botons.
var botons:Array = [boton_1, boton_2, boton_3, boton_4, boton_5];
Each button goes to a different page, but they all are on the same layer like navigation bar. When page 1 is visited button 1 should be invisible and the others visible. When on page 2, button 2 should be invisible but all others visible.
I used the following to make the entire array invisible and it works.
for(var i:int; i<clips.length;i++){botons[i].visible=false;}
How can I make each button invisible when visiting its page, but make the rest visible?

I'm having trouble working with buttons in an array. I would like to target specific button and make it invisible while the others remain visible. Each buttons goes to a page (first, second, third, etc.). There are five buttons named button1... button5. I'm using AS3 in timeline.
Problem: when I click a button, it doesn't get invisible and I get this message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at subtraction_fla::MainTimeline/goPNext()
Here is my script:
stop();
var button= [button1, button2, button3, button4, button5];
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPNext);

I've made a drawn menu with curves in my root. This menu loads dynamically swf into an empty container mc. Within some of these swfs, there are full page image galleries. However, the drawn curves seem to stick on top of these swf: I can still see them although the rest of the content is invisible. Now I want to make those curves also invisible...
Code:
//API AND LINES//
box2.lineStyle (1, 0xff00ff,0);
box2.beginFill(0xCCCCCC,0);
box2.moveTo(0,0);
[code]....
Now I want to realise a function in an externally loaded swf that makes these lines/curves invisible. i was thinking myself of something like
Code:
btImages.onPress = function (){
_root.line.lineStyle(0.5,0xCCCCCC,0);
gotoAndStop (3);
}
But unfortunately thsi doesnt work.

making a scrollbar invisible until a button is pressed. (in actionscript)

I have a movie clip which has a dynamic mask applied to it to provide a scroll effect.
The mask is generated with the 'create blank movieclip' method.
So the mask is a movie clip over a movie clip.
I hunted for invisible text last night and found this link [URL]
which implies it's to do with the mask being on a layer, but from what I can gather from reading the AS, it's not it's on a new blank movie clip.
Also many other links I found all imply it's an issue with dynamic text and the font needs to be embeded, but the underlying text is not dynamic, it's static normal text which has been used in a movieclip to create animated rollover/out effects.
So why is the text missing when the content is scrolled into view?
If you hover over where the text is supose to be, the animation plays and the text becomes visible?
Also the arrow graphic next to the text which forms part of the animation does display; it's just the text portion which is invisible?

I have a movie into which I am loading external swfs. this all works fine but some of the content is duplicated and where there is slimline text it shows that there are two layers. see the header on white here:
how can i set the alpha to 0 or remove the host movieclip, from the externally loaded swf. does that make sense? so once the external swf has loaded into the empty movieclip then the parent movie disappears.

I use to do this in AS2, but find it impossible in AS3. The commented code is what I need to achieve through my for loop.

I want to make 5 out of 10 movieclips invisible.
I know this works for each movie :
item1._visible = false;
item2._visible = false;
etc
But whats the correct syntax to do it in the loop. This seems to clear all 10 movieclips.
Code:
for (var y = 0; y<5; y++) {
["item"+(y)]_visible = false;
}

i have a few buttons that use loadmovienum to load a few clips into levels. The code on each button is something similar to:
on(release){ loadMovieNum("print_index.swf",1);printbutton._visible = false;webbutton._visible = false;illusbutton._visible = false;threedbutton._visible = false;retouchbutton._visible = false;}
But because the print_index movie slowly scrolls across the stage rather than immediately replace it, there is a moment where the button turns completely invisible after the click. Perhaps the bigger problem is that it doesnt make any of the accompanying buttons invisible like it is supposed to- only the one that is clicked.

I'm rather wet to AS3, and have been working on developing a site that can deal with a lot of content sections. Ignoring the fact that I haven't figured out button arrays yet, I was hoping to get some help on an issue I can't get past.
I've got a series of content movieclips which I'm controlling with menu buttons. As you can see below, they turn visible/invisible by clicking the menu buttons.
However, I can't seem to find a solution to reload the movieclips once a different menu button is selected, so each section stays forever in its previously "played" state when the button is clicked again. Is there a way to get the "content_section" movieclips to re-load or re-set once another navigation button is pressed?

I have a banner with big invisible button covering the stage and underneath it I have movieclips which must respond to mouse events. But I can't get through invisible button. I only get button events and cant interact with movieclips underneath it. Here's simple code:
invisibleBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onTopClick);
bottomMc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onBottomOver);
function onTopClick(e:MouseEvent):void{

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

Is there a way of making a normal loadVars.load load a url depending on a variable you set in the swf?
var reciever = new LoadVars();
loadurl = "test_onload_3.cfm?propertyID="+MY_VARIABLE_GOES_HERE;
reciever.load(loadurl);
so that I can set my variable and then load the variables with the propertyID that I choose in the swf??

I've made a draggable menu for a flash site (menu_mc), but the buttons don't work inside the movie clip when I apply startDrag. To remedy the problem, I simply made another movie clip (menubuttons). I now want to more or less attach the two movieclips:
Code:
if (menu_mc.moveTo(x,y)) {
menubuttons.moveTo(menu_mc.x,menu_mc.y)
};
I also tried some pretty iffy statements:
Code:
menubuttons._x = menu_mc._x
That last one works initially, but when I move menu_mc, menubuttons stays put.

I have a movieclip that effectively functions as a button, which we'll call BtnA. When I click it, another movieclip containing the content (CntntA) fades in (this mc is on another layer). Then when I click another button (BtnB) CntntA fades out and CntntB fades in. I've got all this working fine for now, but the problem I have is that once BtnA is clicked, it is still clickable and it fades CntntA back in even though it is already active. Is there a way to disable BtnA after CntntA has appeared? So u can still see it, but you cant click it? Obviously I'll need to do this with BtnB and any future buttons I add
