on release of the button, how do I navigate to a completely different movie clip? so I know about _parent and _root in terms of moving between layers but say I wanted the press of a button to gotoAndStop(2); inside a different movie clip that is not parented or on the _root?
View 2 RepliesI know you can use the following code to make a button access a URL on release:
[Code]...
Just wondering if there is any other code or actionscript you can put on a movie clip so that on release, it accomplished the same thing?
I need to automatically unload a movieclip when the movie within the movieclip plays completely.
View 9 Repliesi'm trying to use if statements but can't get this thing to work i want to check if another button is visible on release of a button to determine what action to be taken.the 'gotoAndPlay("firstscene",1)' is just there as an outcome, will be changed later. anyway this is the code i've got on the button i'm pressing. blobyellow2 is an instance of a button blobyellow is it because it's an instance that it's not working?

edit: sorry forgot to put what's wrong with the code. it acts as though the statement is correct no matter if it is or isn't.

View 2 RepliesI need to remove a MovieClip from the stage completely and keep it that way. The following code works just fine but when I come back to that frame later the MovieClip is there again.
Code:

Underlined Text On (rollOver) Is there an action script to do on (rollover) underline text? It would be on a button that would also, on (release) gotoAndPlay a frame. I know you can have a movie with AS like this:
[Code]....
But when I add the on (release) to the movie it doesnt advance the timeline on (release). And when I change the file to a button instead of a movie clip it doesnt do the underline on (rollOver).
how do I completely remove a movieclip that is created as a new class.I have an event listener that does a removeChild like this
e.target.parent.removeChild(e.target);
is this enough or do I have to 'null' the object? I can't just do 'e.target = null' because the property is read only. Will the internal garbage collection do the rest for me if I have no references somewhere else?
i want to open a SWF file to a button but in a completely new window however Im not talking web related i.e. not linking to a web page
like...
on (release) {
getUrl("www.blah.com")
}
whateva it is...don�t want that... I want it so it simply opens a completely new window within flash which I can close... the reason for this is I have a SWF file which is protected and i cant create a back button within it... so I need it to open a completely new window so i can get back to my main page..
My friend and I have been working on a game for about a year. There's a few buttons on the stage that have been on the stage for six months, and always worked fine, but today my friend moved them and I just realized they don't work anymore. They are literally completely unresponsive to all mouse input, they have event listeners for mouseover and click but the events never get triggered (I checked for sure with breakpoints and traces).
I tried the obvious things first; move the buttons to the top layer and set .mouseEnabled = true, but that didn't do anything. I tried moving them around the stage in case something invisible was covering them but that didn't work.
We've got one button instance named "btnSell" that is broken, and another named "btnMenu" that works. They are instances of different objects in the library, but I tried swapping their instance names on the stage; then "btnMenu" was broken and "btnSell" worked.
So I swapped the names back, deleted the broken "btnSell" and created a new instance from the library. Only, it still doesn't work.
My friend deleted a bunch of old and no-longer-used assets, including previous versions of the PNGs that make up those buttons, so maybe that's related to the problem?

View 3 RepliesI have a ball that I can move around with my arrow keys; fling it up down left right, bouncing off the edge of the stage etc with a simple 2D physics class.Now I have a second ball which I have its x and y position to equal the first balls x and y. So the entire time I'm moving the first ball with my arrow keys the second ball just locks to the center of the first balls x and y. I am trying to figure out (on a mouse event click) how to now release the second ball; tell it to no longer follow/lock onto the first balls x and y position. My physics class will thus allow the second ball to simply fall as a result of gravity. how I can tell the second ball to no longer follow the position of the first ball?

i need help to this seemingly simple, yet frustrating issue i am having with AS3.
issue i have multiple movieclips on a timeline and i need the first one to load, play through all frames, than i need flash to move to the next movieclip in the timeline [load, play, than stop and wait for user input].
- i am completely new to AS3, i have used AS2 for years.
- i am moving all production in our studio to AS3 [so no AS2 comments or recommendations]
- i have been able to do this in AS2, but i understand that AS3 does not use roots, levels, etc.
- i have tried the gotoAndPlay(); [but i am not setting it up correctly to navigate to root timeline to find the frame name that the next movieclip resides in. in otherwords i can not get flash to go back to the root timeline]
- is it better in AS3 to find the movieclip or the frame it resides in?
I have an swf with several movie clips set up to work as navigation buttons (using _up, _over and _down frame labels). The same navigation swf is used by several different HTML pages and navigates between them.
I want to pass the swf a variable with FlashVars in the object/embed script that will disable the movie clip button for the page the user is currently on.
In AS3 myClip.enabled = false; only removes the rollover behavior of the clip, but does not prevent the clip from receiving mouse events.
How can I disable the clip completely so that it does not respond to events?
I've made 2 swf's. One is navigation with a movieclip named "connn" where another swf of content being loaded into it. The second swf is the content consists of a scrollable bar of thumbnails at the bottom, loading particular content on the stage. For the contents swf, I've this script on each of the thumbnail
PHP Code:
on(release){
_root.gotoAndPlay("framename");
}
which framename is marked on the top level of the flash, with a movie clip of a couple of images swaping. And this work perfectly. [URL]
PHP Code:
loadMovie("services_web.swf",this.connn);
which load the content into the movie clip named "connn". It got no problem loading the swf in but I discover that after it is loaded, the thumbnail script of the content failed to work. (please see: http://mr-otto.com/wd/services.html under WEB/INTERACTIVE > websites)
I guess that is the problem of the _root. thing and perhaps changing this I can have it work as perfect as it can be even being called in another swf.
Ok I have create several buttons to navigate to other urls, and one of them is working but the other 3 I have are not working. All I did was copy over the code and change the differences between the two. I don't get any errors or anything but when I click on them nothing happens...
var myspaceSite:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.myspace.com/thehangoutinfo");
myspaceBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goMyspace);
function goMyspace(e:Event){
navigateToURL(myspaceSite);
}
I have a Button within a movieclip. The movieclip does a show/hide function when a button is pressed. The button simply contains:
on (release) {
gotoAndStop("contact", 1);
}
However, this button action does not function.

Will this line
clip.removeChild(clip.getChildAt(0));
completely remove the child of clip at 0 index? I read somewhere you should set to null to all the references to that clip, but I have no other reference in my code. The clip at 0 was added via a regular addChild().

View 1 Repliesi want to gor from movieclip to scene 1, where i have set my menu on timeline.
Actually i have main movieclip on main timeline of scene 1, and inside that main movieclip , i'm having number of sub movieclips, so from that any movieclip i want go back return to scene 1.
It controls a collection of 6 "slides". Each slide has a corresponding button, and it also slides every x seconds when the mouse is still. I'd like the buttons (b1 through b6) to change once they are pressed (to a similar image, just with a black dot in the center, which shows it is selected) and then return once another one is selected.

I would like that button to also unload the loaded swf.
