here is my script:
stop();
//setting up the list of frame names for the buttons
imagelist = ["horror","legs","chair"];[code]....
So my problem is that on the button release it doesn't go to the frame that I labelled .My button symbol is called b_next with instance name of next_b. So don't think thats the problem. Is it because I made an array that equals the instance name of my frames?
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).
I have three buttons on screen that navigate to different places on the timeline. I have set them all up as buttons using a generic button in the library and then given them all different instance names. I selected the button and changed the text colour for each state in the timeline (up, over, down) to keep it simple. The buttons are all, as far as I can analyse, identical in all but instance name.
When I test the movie, the first button changes text colour on 'over' and, when I click (i.e. down state) the colour changes again as designed. The navigation action doesn't occur until I release the mouse button, giving the feel of having 'clicked' the button.
With the other two buttons, which have been set up as far as I can tell in exactly the same way, when the down state occurs, I see a momentary flash of the text colour change and it performs the nav straight away. I really want it to perform the same way as the first button but cannot for the life of me see why they're behaving differently.

View 2 Repliesthis problem affects my Flex 3 app when it is being viewed using Firefox for Mac. If the user drags the scrollbar then releases the mouse OUTSIDE THE BROWSER, the scrollbar doesn't get released and continues to scroll the content once the user rolls the mouse back over the Flex content.

View 1 RepliesThe app is basically an animated character that sits on screen and moves around doing stupid little animations. Each animation (Talking, Dancing, Jumping, etc) is an individual Movie Clip made up of around 50 or so PNGs in sequence. I'm using CS3 to create the clips, and exported them as SWCs for use in Flex. When I addChild() the MovieClip to stage, memory usage increases, which makes sense. However when I use removeChild() on the same clip, and then add another clip, memory increases, and this goes on with every new clip... essentially leaving 10 clips in memory even if they aren't being played.
Now, first thing you are going to think is I've got a reference to the clip somewhere and it's not garbage collecting. Well, I'm using weak listeners everywhere, and I'm pretty sure I've killed every reference by NULLing out the objects. I understand Garbage Collection doesn't happen right away... but it never seems to happen. As a test, I wrote a really bare-bones app to attach and remove a clip to see if the memory ever frees. I've left the app running for a half hour after removing the clip from stage, and memory usage stays the same:

why we don't have the option to force Garbage Collection in the release player?

how to express it in Actionscript - can anyone out there translate the following!? On release of button "A" tell movieclip "B" to play frame "X",but if the button has already been released before (or if movieclip "A" is already at frame "X") then on release of button "A" go to frame "Y" instead

PROLOGUE The title describes what actions I'm trying to put in a button. I'm making a quiz. Each keyframe has a pic and 4 buttons. The correct answer should show a green V onscreen; the wrong answer should show a red X. After one second, it jumps to a new question in a new keyframe. I've made the X and V as both 12-frame movieclips and 1-frame graphics on the library, but can't seem to make them show up correctly.
1st issue: showing the movie clip/graphic. The movieclip/graphic should appear in the center of the stage *after* you press the button. Currently, the clip is there from the start; can't find a way to make it start invisible, then visible when I click the button. 2nd issue: waiting 1 second before going to next frame.I've tried using setInterval, but failed. Maybe the best way is to use a command that waits for the movieclip to play before making the jump?

I have an FLA file with a movieclip on the stage which is labelled "blok", and a button on the stage labelled "button1". This FLA is attached to a file called main.as through the document class.
In the same folder where I am storing main.as I have a second .as file called secondFile.as. I have imported this class into main.as using: import com.tests.secondFile;
and in the constructor of main.as I have put:
loadB=new secondFile(button1);
addChild(loadB);
Within secondFile.as my constructor looks like this:
public function secondFile(button1:SimpleButton){
button1=button1;
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, buttonPushed);
}
[Code]....
Basically I'm trying to get the MovieClip labelled "blok" to move by 50 pixels on the stage when button1 is pressed, but when I test my FLA I get the following error:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property blok through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObjectContainer.
I would have thought that this.parent.blok would control my movieclip labelled blok on the stage of my FLA from within secondFile.as since secondFile.as is a child of main.as which is the document class of my FLA, but obviously this is not right.
how to access labelled items on the stage from within a child object.
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 have a movie that consists of various audio files fading in and out of various scenes as the timeline progresses. The current mute button I've created only appears to stop the audio track currently playing when pressed. How do I silence the movie from the point of button release until the movie has played to the end? Just as an FYI, the audio files are loaded and managed manually on the timeline itself.

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 will like to allow movie clip to appear on release of button for a certain period say 10 seconds, how to set interval for the movie clip ?
View 3 RepliesI will try to make this as sysinct As possible. I'm working in Flash CS4, AS 2 and I'm trying to make an online image gallery/portfolio but I'm having trouble making an image appear when I release the button. (I've uploaded the fla if you want to look). Basically, I have a movie clip that will contain all my thumbs and that enters the stage with this action script:
onClipEvent (load) {
_root.xnew = _root.mask._x + (-9-1)*100/2 ;
}
[Code].....
I made the first 3 squares into buttons: imgbtn1, imgbtn2, imgbtn3
I've tried loading the images into an empty movie clip a hundred different ways and I've also tryed writing action script for the button to just play at a certain frame to show a picture but I have not really gotten anywhere.
Essentially I would like for the thumbs to swoop in as they do and for the user to click a thumb and for that thumb to dynamically load a photo in the center of the stage.
I installed a Flash template that has some "Read More" buttons.I see the actionscript for a button is:
Header 1onClipEvent (load) { num = 1; this.title2.num = 4; // this line is the frame number of the symbol which the button links to this.title2.name1 = "More 04";}
After experimenting, I realize that it is the 3rd line which controls which page (ie/ frame number) the button links to.So in the above example, the button will link to frame 4 of the symbol.In another button that same line reads:this.title2.num = 5 and so clicking that button will link to frame 5 of the symbol.Now here in that above code shows which symbol to go to - it just seems to know where to go (it actually goes to a symbol called 'Content Movie Y6').So my question is, how does it know which symbol to link to?I'd like to know in case I want to change the link in the future.
More info:All of these "Read More" buttons have a roll-over effect which is a movie clip symbol called 'button_more'.The actionscript code for the button_more symbol is:
Header 1on (rollOver) { if (_root.link<>6) [code].....
I still can't see anywhere where it configures which symbol to play upon release of the button.
