View 4 RepliesOn looking into buttons, I understand that to get a movie clip to play when a button is clicked you simply place the movie clip on the buttons 'hit' state. Having done this it does not work? Have I read wrong? Also the movie clip has a background the full size of the stage area. So when I attach this to the button, the button changes size to the same size as the movie? (i.e. whole stage area). How do I keep the button in it's original size while still playing the movie clip with large background?
View 2 RepliesI want to play a movie clip when I click a button.I made 3 states: inicial (how it looks before anything happens) (up)hover (plays an animation after waiting 20 frames) (over)click (plays an animation right away) (down)I placed these movie clips inside of my button's up, over, and down frames. This works great except when I click, i'll need to click and hold for my animation to get past the first frame.

Normally, I want the movie to play the tween that spans from 25 to 35, then stop UNLESS a button has been clicked back on frame 24 - then I want the tween played from 25 to 35 then jump to 46.Problem is, in the button function code, if I have...gotoAndPlay(25); gotoAndPlay(46);the timeline jumps straight to 46 - it doesn't play 25-35. Why?I tried putting a timer in between the two gotoAndPlays, but itignored that too and jumped to 46.o how do I tell it - 'play from 25-35 and stop, unless but_a was pressed back on Frame 24 - then play 25-35, and then play 46' ?

I want to pause my timeline until a button is pressed on the mouse. i want it to work like a powerpoint presentation would. i know how to pause the timeline for x amount of seconds but i want to be able to pause the timeline until the user is ready to continue with the next section.
the application i am building is for kids to teach them about writing skills and the section i want to pause it on is where the kids will be asked to complete a task before the next section is played. the next section will be how they should have answered the last section.
I am looking for a quick and easy way to store variables in a text file, rather than use amfphp to connect to a database all I need to do is increment values every time a button is clicked. Would be better if all the vars were in the same text file but if I have to have one per var that would be ok.
View 3 RepliesI have been searching for a way to do this for about 3 days but I have come to no conclusion. I need to find a way to get an animation playing when a button is clicked. It is a little more complicated so let me try and explain. I have an animation of two doors opening and closing. From frame 35 - 65 the doors open, on frame 65 I have text, then from 66 - 96 the doors close. Now my problem comes when I want to change pages. I need the animation on frames 66 - 96 to start playing when any other button is clicke except for the one that opens that page. I have the delay on the buttons and it is working fine but i have no idea how to test if the other buttons are clicked.

View 9 RepliesI'm trying to accomplish two things:
1) Have an swf file automatically start buffering as soon as the webpage loads, without it also auto-playing the video.
2) Implimenting a 'youtube' style play button which will manually start the playback (regardless of how much of the video has been buffered).
P.S. I'm using CS4 if that matters. I have a pretty solid html/photoshop/video background, but flash is almost entirely new to me.
P.P.S. I'd like this to be compatible with older versions of the flash player as well, if at all possible.
I'm a flash beginner and I've been having alot of trouble figuring out how to make a button which can be controlled with the keyboard as well as the mouse and plays a sound when clicked but when the button is released the sound instantly stops. What I'm going for is a piano application, I made the button, I know how to create keyboard events with listeners and make the different button states up and down but I don't know how to control the button with the keyboard and play sound when the button is clicked but stop the sound when the button is released.
Also I'd like to have it where the space bar will cancel whatever makes the sound stop so it just rings out until the sound clip ends. Can someone explain to me how to do this, remember I'm a beginner so please explain everything.
I'm working on making a nitrogen tank that inflates a balloon a little bit more every time you click the tank. How do you set it up to go to a specific shape tween each time it is clicked, and then have it stop and make a reset button appear?

View 1 RepliesAnyway what I need to do is have a movie clip finish playing when a button is clicked and then go to the frame label associated with the button. I hope I'm explaining myself ok. So if I had say 4 buttons Home Gallery About Contact If Contact is clicked then I want the Home page to play (Which is a fade out) and then go to Contact Page (which will fade in). Then If Gallery is clicked then I want Contact to fade out and then go to Gallery page and fade in.
View 6 RepliesI've got an intro for a movie,and a single button appears around frame 58,and I've tried giving it a function so it will skip to fram 478 and play the whole movie from there on:
PlayCompl_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndPlay(478);
}
but it keeps saying "statement must appear within handler" and I've got the same problem when the movie reaches frame 477 I want it to go back to frame 58 and play from there so it would loop all until the button is clicked:
PlayCompl_btn.onEnterFrame = function() {
gotoAndPlay(58);
};
We have a short video of a street, which we are looking to pause when it is clicked and then all the hazards turn into drawings and flash.

I want to link a button to a movie clip, but it will not play. Here is how it is set up. On my main scene on second layer on frame 2, I have a movie called homeContent within which I have another movie called pdbutton within which I have another movie called pdrbt. This movie called pdrbt needs to play a movie on the main scene on layer content on frame 3 movie called streetSidemc_mc. Here is my code,

Im trying to load a movie clip when a button is clicked
heres the actionscript im using

I have an AS2 project with two scenes, Scene 1 is has a pre-loader and Scene 2 has an embedded .flv animation from after effects with some other basic tweened shape layers and masks. I've used the Components UI and dragged a "Replay" button to the last keyframe with a separate actions layer with the following code:
stop();
Replay.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, replayMovie);function replayMovie(evt){gotoAndPlay("Scene 2",1);}
I'm a beginner in Flash and have been following instructions off the net but I can't get it to Replay the movie when the button is clicked, it does nothing.
When you click on a button it loads the movie clip that is on the main timeline. What I want to be able to do is when you click on another button the movie clip that you are on reverses and the new movie clip loads up.
