I'm just trying to nest buttons one on each of two frames inside a mc. I've tried everything. Here's basically the script I used.
[Code]...
I've tried adding _root infront of screen name and even tried just having the button go to the second frame in the same scene. I'm just trying to get this first button to work and then I will add the other button.
Is it bad practice/design to nest components inside components using Flex 4? Should I simply be creating components and inserting them into my main application as below, or doesn't it matter?

there seems to be no accepted method of playing multiple flv using buttons. My latest attempt has me putting multiple instances of the flvPlayback component in different frames and using buttons to navigate to those frames. It works but nothing anyone has posted anywhere will result in removing the flv when you go to a different frame and instance. This was simple in AS2. Load movie to a traget and each time you load a new movie the other one goes away. REALLY goes away.
View 7 Repliesbasically im making a quiz on my main timeline ive got my questions and answers and on the last frame i want it to say how many answers the user got right. ive made a movie clip on this last frame. in the movie clip ive got 11 frames with the posible totals so frame one would be 0/10 frame 2 would be 1/10 etc what i want to do is when the user clicks the correct answer on the other frames i want flash to make the frames within the movie clip to go 1 step forward.
View 2 Repliesmuch like the title says. how do i put code in the main timelinesuch as gotoAndPlay(x)x refering to a a frame inside a MC inside a MC.
View 5 RepliesI have a movie clip with 15 frames. Each frame has buttons on it (mc's)... I was going to put the actions on the main timeline/stage and navigate within the MC from the main timeline. Is that possible? I can get the buttons on the first frame of the MC to work, but I can't seem to figure out how to target/make the buttons on the other frames work? I was thinking I could identify the path of the MC with the frame labels, but that doesn't seem to work. like: _root.RMChanger.(frame label).buttonOnFrame = function
I have to move a text box in and out over the MC backgrounds on the main stage... which is why I was thinking to do it this way? I've been switching back and forth bwtween AS2.0 and 3.0
I have been seriously investigating on using switch statements in this case to solve my problems, which I seem to see output showing up in clickHandler3 executed properly. However, I don't think scenario_save() has been doing anything, since I could not see the Alert.show statement been disclosed in the switch(pop2), and neither is any of the lines been written like I expected, but I do see the Alert.show in the switch(x) by executing the Alert. I have marked the sections using comments, and I wonder if I am allowed to use nested switch statements over another in Actionscript.

I'm trying to setup my bin-debug folder so that the structure looks like this[code]...
I've tried setting the project's output folder to: bin-debug/assets/swf which does get my main.swf where I want it, but then my other source folders get dumped into that swf folder as well. What I would really like is to tell Flash Builder to put my swf into a nested folder and to be able to specify where my build folders' output goes as well. Is this at all possible without resorting to ANT scripts?
I have a if statement that first checks to see if the enter key is pressed. Although i cant figure out how to to nest futher statements with in that initial statement. At the moment I'm checking for an enter keypress like so:if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER))I suppose immediately after i want the script to see if a a textboxes variable is empty or not.IF its empty run x code.IF it has content run y code.Seems straight forward enough but i cant seem to figure out how to nest them under the first Enter key IF check.

I have a MC with an instance name MovieClip_1 and I create another like this:[code]So basically, what I want to know is how to nest MovieClips using code, display them, and change their positions reletive to their parent MovieClip, and not the root/stage.
View 1 RepliesI have a MovieClip symbol created with flash in a fla file library. There is a textfield in frame one of this movieclip's timeline . There is another frame in the movieclip timeline. There is a custon class definition for this symbol. It is a flipping card in a memory game.
I access the textfield by going to frame 2 (gotoAndStop(2)) and setting the textfield's text property ( this.field.text = "hello" ). However if I go to frame 1 and then return to frame 2, the text becomes the original one in the library's symbol. I have to modify the text propery again in a showFace method I've written.
Besides, I cannot pass parameters in the constructor because it is a symbol in the library and that would give errors.Is there a way I can set properties inside frames permanently?
is it possible for the same actionscript 2 script to be working if its inside the frames frame frame when you get down to the point where it says LEFT RIGHT UPP DOWN?

View 1 RepliesIm making a scrolling image gallery basically i have 2 movieclips inside a main movieclip, MC_a and MC_b. MC_a animates the scrolling effect of the thumb panel. within which there are 15 buttons. MC_b has 15 large photos arranged in 15 frames. (1 photo per frame).
what i want to do is when i press a button in MC_a it will gotoAndStop at the frame in MC_b displaying the large photo.
I've tried placing script in MC_b in a layer called "action" and extending it to 15 frames:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
stop();
Object(root).MainMC.MC_a.button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,pla y1);
function play1(event:MouseEvent):void

I did this for all 15 buttons but none of them works. btw, i am using actionscript 3, Flash CS5
I got 2 buttons that i want them to gotoAndPlay at different frames... here is the code

when i play the .swf i get an error message
I have 3 frames and 3 buttons. Each button takes you to their respected frame. However, I noticed that I cannot have 1 key frame of actionsript read the same on those 3 frames. Why? because if I jump from frame 1 to frame 2 or 3, then I cannot jump back. Instead, each frame has to have it's own actionscript. The only thing that would change is the method name. I find it tedious. Is that how it is? This almost felt seem like it would be less tedious but even for 3 frames, I have to change each method name as I build more frames to navigate to. Check my example below:

I'm using the code:[code]in order to direct button named "one" to open website.html in a frame named mainFrame. However, when I then use the same code on each button, opening different URLs it no longer works; whichever button you click on first will open in mainFrame, but any button you click after this will open in a new window.
View 2 RepliesI have a very simple Flash movie with multiple keyframes. Each keyframe has buttons which I'll be attaching event listeners.
I was hoping that I could add all event listeners to all buttons in all keyframes by using a document class. This works for buttons in frame #1, but anything else gets a null reference exception:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I also tried adding a layer to the timeline that spans all keyframes and putting in the eventlisteners (and respective addEventListeners) there. Same thing - null reference exceptions for everything not in frame #1.
I have a button that brings you from frame 1 to frame 2 (on rollover) then back to frame 1 on rollout I want to set the color property of the button so that when it is in frame 2 it apears to be blue and black in frame 1 I want to do it this way instead of the rollover for the symbol because I want to eventually also change the color of a second button with the same control?

View 3 RepliesI want to setup an event listener on buttons that are on two different frames of "TabContent" (tabs) on my page. I can set up the event listener on the first tab without any issues, but how can I locate the second frame to add an event listener there at the same time?
View 12 RepliesI am working on a menu that uses a number of these buttons: [URL]
The button works quite well, except that I would like the sub-menu to close up once the mouse clicks elsewhere on the screen. I have tried to find the Action Script for this but have been unsuccessful. What script can I use to cause the menu to close up when a user clicks outside of the button?
I've posted the fla file below.

I'm having trouble with my site [URL] As you may see, the animation is often all mixed up: the buttons do not take the user to the proper frame, the frames and buttons do not display or just partially... Sometimes everything goes back to normal when I empty the cache and/or refresh the page and click repeatedly on random buttons, but not always, and not for long. I don't know, it just happens somehow randomly, especially when I upload the swf file again to update the site. I understand it has something to do with the flash file itself and having to insert some code somewhere,
View 4 RepliesI have a 4 frame file that is a dvd menu. Buttons controlling navigation between all frames. There is a main page, and 3 child pages that link back to main. I have an mp3 file that I need to add as background music. I have created a new layer and added the following to the action of frame 1.
soundInstance = new Sound();soundInstance.attachSound("Music name from library"); My problem is that every time I navigate back to main from one of the child pages a new instance of the song begins so I end up with a round of music. I need the initial instance to persist throughout and not loop til the end of the song.
In CS5, I want to create a series of buttons that when clicked will linked to other frames in the same timeline. So one button will link to frame 5, one will link to frame 10, one will link to 15, etc. All the buttons will appear across the top of the stage on a layer, and I want them to appear on all of the frames so the user can click back-and-forth to the different frames/screens.
1. Is the best way to do this to just add the buttons to frame 1 and add a keyframe to the last frame in the timeline, frame 15, so they are copied to all the frames in between?

At the moment I am working at a script that allows you to press a button and then go to a specified frame, on that frame there is also a button that goes to another frame and so on.Now I have a script that works at the first frame. But as soon as I come to frame 2 and I click on a button it doesn't do anything.Oh and also, at the moment I have 3 frames in the stage. The first button is a movie clip and goes to frame 2. The second button is just a button and is supposed to go to frame 3.[code]
