ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Instructions From Button In MC To Another Symbol?

Nov 26, 2004

I have button Alpha. When clicked, it tells movie clip One to move to y coordinate zero This actionscript works fine.But when I place the button inside movie clip Beta, no longer can it tell movie clip One to move.I keep reading references to relative paths and such, but i can't seem to make it work. I've attached the MX 2004 file to show what's (not) going on.

Button From Within A Symbol Effect Frame In Another Symbol?

Sep 25, 2009

So i've done SOME work with flash and AS3, right now i'm working on a website for my boss, he bought some template online which has stuff laid out and animated and everything already, now I just have to integrate our content.My issue is this, I've got 2 symbols on the screen, one of which contains alot of buttons that list our services as company, the second symbol contains the content (or descriptions) of those services, which on are separate keyframes.What I'm trying to accomplish is that when you hit the button in "symbol A", it affects the "symbol B" and goes to the corresponding keyframe.For example when I click "button 2" in "symbol A", "symbol B" goes to keyframe 2.Now if they were in the same symbol it would be something like

on(release){
goToAndStop(2);
}

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Arguments To Constructor Of Symbol?

Jul 15, 2010

I've drawn a pretty button in Flash and given it the Class name PausePlayButton. It extends PlayerController, which allows it to toggle on and off and control whether a MovieClip is playing or not.When I instantiate it, I want to pass a reference to the MovieClip it controls into the contructor so that PlayerController has access to the MovieClip's public methods. However, I can't pass a reference into the constructor of PlayerController, unless I can pass it into the constructor of the symbol itself and call super. But where is that constructor? How do I give the button a reference to another object?

Professional :: Flash Pre-loader - Following Instructions In Video But Cannot Get It Right

May 20, 2010

I am trying to create a flash pre-loader exactly like the one in the tutorial at this link: ( I am using CS4 and AS3 as he is in the video)
 
[URL]
 
When I go to simulate download, the loading page screen will show as the page loads, but the dynamic text fields will not update or show anything - they are just whited out as if they are not there.
 
I have checked the code about ten times. And I have also named all the movie clips exactly has he has them named in the movie. The only problem I can think of is that I am not if I need to name my .swf file that plays on frame two to something else or somehow "connect" it to the action script or loading page so the loading page understands what the dynamic text needs to load. If this is not the problem, can anyone think of something else?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Create Buttons In One Swf That Load Another Swf And Also Give Instructions To Begin Playing From A Certain Frame In That Swf

Apr 21, 2004

What I'm trying to do is create buttons in one swf that load another swf and also give instructions to begin playing from a certain frame in that swf. The target swf has a preloader on frame 1 and then a movie clip that contains a video in frame 2. Depending on which button the user presses the video will be cued up ready to play at different frames. I think it may need an if statement ie if x=34 then goto frame 34, but I can't seem to pass the variables to the loaded swf. In the zip file is an example of what I'm trying to do.

Professional :: Rotate A Button Symbol?

Jan 23, 2011

how to make a rotating cube for my website, today i tried to make that cube interactive such as making each side of the cube a button. so what i did was instead of using movie clip symbols to construct the cube i used a series of button symbols. the problem soon arises when i tired to fold the panels into a box. It seems adobe flash does not allow me to rotate a button symbol. when the symbol type is "button" all of the rotating parameters under transform are greyed out but as soon as i change it to movie clip i can rotate it.

Actionscript 3 :: Access A Button From A Symbol?

Dec 8, 2011

A designer gave me an fla file with his design for a banner with some buttons and it is my job make those buttons do stuff. However, I can't seem to get a reference to any of them in actionscript. I am using CS5.5 fp9 and as3. The buttons in the design are instances of symbols (graphic) from a library. Through the 'edit symbols' menu in the top right corner of the window that displays the design, I can navigate to the different buttons and I managed to change them to type button or movieclip so that I could give them instance names. However, even with instance names, I still can't access them from actionscript.

I think it may have something to do with the way these symbols have been added to the stage. I can see them in the design view and when I run the project, so they must be on the stage right? However I cannot select them in the design by clicking on them. Only by using the 'edit symbols' menu can I select them.

It seems that if you 'lock' stuff in design view, you can't work with it in developer view either. Not even in actionscript! The buttons in the design I received were locked from the beginning, it didn't even occur to me that it could be something as silly as that!

ActionScript 2.0 :: How To Put Button Symbol Into MovieClip

Nov 18, 2003

If you put a button symbol into a movie clip. Then, place the movie clip onto the main time line. Add multiple scenes to the movie and multiple frames on the pain timeline. Go back to the button within the movie clip and program it
on (release) {
_parent.gotoAndStop(25);
}

This sends the main timeline to that frame. But, uou can't do this
on (release) {
_parent.gotoAndStop("Scene 2", 25);
}
You can't make the parent change to another scene in this fashion. How come?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Swap A Symbol With Fade From A Button?

Jul 24, 2011

I am trying to swap a symbol using a button, but also have the old symbol fade out and the new symbol fade in. For instance say I have this blue circle with two arrow buttons to move forward and backward through a series of different colored circles. Like a red green and a blue one.When you click on the right button it should change to red, if you click it again it should change to green. If you were to click the left one now, it should take you back to the red.SO I basically want it to cycle you through the 3 different symbols. Unloading one, and loading the next. As an extra nicety, I would like the one that is leaving fade out, as the new one coming in to fade in.
