ActionScript 2.0 :: OnPress Calling A Function?
Oct 8, 2008
I think this is a scope issue, but can't be sure. I am using FlashDevelop, Actionscript 2.0 to create my movie. I call the sendAndLoad() function to display data from a database. I also have "Previous" and "Next" buttons to move through different data.
Since I was going to load data in three different locations (Load, Previous, Next) I created a LoadData() function. This function contains the sendAndLoad() to the server.
The initial load works great with the LoadData() function, the first record is displayed correctly. My problem is when I program the onPress for the Previous and Next buttons.
Why does my LoadData() function not run when inside the Previous/Next button onPress events?
example code:
class Main
{
private var parent:MovieClip;
[Code]....

I am creating a gallery type site, I am loading xml data externally creating duplicate movie clips and it all works fine, my only problem is I want them to go to a URL, I have one of the nodes with the URL and in my actionscript I am calling a function to getURL on press, the problem is on each separate movieclip it links to the URL of the last movieclip in the stack.

I was wondering for personal use how you would go about writing a function on a button that when the mouse click is down it would keep firing the function kinda like it does when using the onEnterFrame on key frame..

I have created different buttons on different movieclip. Then i assigned onPress event on each buttons. But the function of onPress event is not triggered. The arrangement of movieclips is following.
var mainMC:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("mainMC",0);
mainMC._alpha = 0;
var adImgMC:MovieClip = mainMC.createEmptyMovieClip("adImgMC",0);
var offerMC:MovieClip = mainMC.createEmptyMovieClip("offerMC",1);
var offerList:MovieClip = offerMC.createEmptyMovieClip("offerList",0);
[Code] .....
I have created an event as follows:
offerList.onRollOver = function(){
offerList.stopTween();
clearInterval(autoScrlTimer);
} offerList.onRollOut = function(){
duration = 0;
autoScrlTimer = setInterval(automaticScroll,duration);
ovrFlag = true
}
I doubt that the onPress event is not working because of the above piece of code.

I have a movieClip in which by default it does not have an 'onPress' function applied to it. However, I have a button on the stage that the user can press to 'unlock' that mc, and when they unlock it, it sets a 'locked' variable to false, calls a function which checks the 'locked' status, and if it is false, it that sets the onPress for that movieclip (which makes it draggable)If that button is clicked again, 'locked' is set to true, and that same function is called again, and then the status is recognized as locked...but I need it to somehow remove/delete the 'onPress'function. I know the first thought would be to just set 'enabled' for the mc to false...which I tried at first.... but the problem is that some of the mc's are transparent in the middle, and there can be other items below them...and those items below need to be 'clickable'. Even though the top mc is not enabled, it still recognizes that it has had an 'onPress' function applied to it, and thus won't let anything below it be clicked. (When the movie first launches, the function setting the onPress has not yet been set, and so the items below it are therefore clickable).
I know that might have been a bit confusing, so let me know if you have any questions to further clarify. need to make a movieclip that was clickable (through an onPress function) onClickable, but also treat it like it has never had an onPress applied, so that any items below it can be clicked.

I'm doing a school project in flash that basically has to be a movie trailer, just several photos compiled together with some music. I got bored and now am making controls in Actionscript. I'm using CS4, however I have the document based in Actionscript 2.0. Basically, I have created a rewind button that goes backwards, however now I want it to do one of the two things:
If the video was playing when the button was pressed, I want it to go back to playing when released. If the video was paused the the button was pressed, I want it to continue to stay paused when released. I've tried some very basic if statements, trying to assign boolean statements, but I'm stuck. Here's what I have thus far for my rewind button:
Code:
rewind_button.onPress = function () {
onEnterFrame = function() {
prevFrame();
}}
rewind_button.onRelease = function () {
delete onEnterFrame;
play();
}}

I am using the following code to simulate a volume control bar filling on vol+ and unfilling on vol-. The dragger is a mask that causes the fill to appear and disappear when the mouse is pressed and dragged on the volume controller. It works well, but I would like to add a "switch" that moves at the same time and in the same location as the fill, but on top of it... I created the movieClip for the switch and tried all kinds of variations to the following code with its instance in the code, but cant seem to get it working... below is the code which works with just the mask filling / unfilling.
this.ratio = 0;dragger.onPress = function() {this.startDrag(true, 0, 0, line._width, 0);
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
ratio = Math.round(this._x*100/line._width);
_root.volume = ratio; }; };
dragger.onRelease = dragger.onRelease=stopDrag;

I'm trying to make a point and click game for the fun of it. I'm having troubble with the .onPress function. I've made an array of movieclips, and I want to go through them in a loop, and make an onPress function for each of them. What I am trying to do with the code below is to make the debugText tell me what movieclip I pressed:
var letterArray = new Array();
letterArray = [l1_mc, l2_mc, l3_mc, l4_mc, l5_mc, l6_mc, l7_mc, l8_mc, l9_mc,
l10_mc, l11_mc, l12_mc, l13_mc, l14_mc, l15_mc, l16_mc, l17_mc, l18_mc,
l19_mc, l20_mc, l21_mc, l22_mc, l23_mc, l24_mc, l25_mc, l26_mc, l27_mc,
l28_mc, l29_mc, l30_mc, l31_mc, l32_mc, l33_mc, l34_mc, l35_mc, l36_mc];
[Code] .....
DebugText outputs:
Pressed movieclip nr: 36 36 36 36 36 36
No matter what clip i press, i get the same output: 36. why?

I am currently working on the Slider Bars tutorial at [URL]. I got dragger to work, I just want to better understand the dragger.onPress=function() part. With a normal function you have:
function hello(){
trace("hello");
}
Then when I wanted to run the function, I would use:
hello();
Ok so if dragger is pressed (onPress) then it creates a function, right? So how do you run the function? Or is the function running as I'm pressing dragger?

When I use:
on (release){
this.stop();
getURL("page.html", "_blank");
}
Why is it that when that new page window is loaded the background flash window then runs my
on (rollOut){
this.play();
}
function? I am trying to pause the timeline I am clicking from in Flash. If I take this line out (this.play() it pauses, but if I were to go that way how would I start getting my MC to play again when the user gets back to the flash window?

I'm trying to get this one function to be able to call many functions (not at once, but call many possible ones)In other words, I'm trying to get this variable to be named as a function. That way, this one variable can create multiple functions.example:
actionscript Code:
class Thing extends MovieClip{ var funcvar; var othervar; function onLoad() funcvar = "YYY"; othervar = "ZZZ"; function onEnterFrame()
