Could anyone offer some advice and how i can go about only displaying four items in an array. with previous and next buttons to navigate forther through it. Im stumpt to find nay information on this.
View 3 Repliesas a follow-up to my question earlier. Where would I be able to locate the transition script so that I can delete it alltogether and allow users to navigate with solely the previous and next action buttons. (And what verbiage [more or less] am I looking for)?
View 3 RepliesI have a long timeline with a series of slides arranged along it with a labeled frame at the beginning of each slide.These slides do not have any standardized length so instead of counting out frames and jumping a set number I am trying to navigate with my previous and next buttons to frame labels stored in an array.
This works GREAT!Or rather...it works great if you're rapidly hitting the Next and Previous buttons to step through the area.The problem comes when you sit and try to watch the whole thing play out and then try to use the next button.If you have passed framelabel2 and hit the next button it returns you to framelabel2.If you have passed framelabel3 and hit the next button it returns you to framelabel2. Clearly the problem is that it does not know it has gone past framelabel1 and is thus gotoandplay-ing the next frame in the array...which is 2.I need to make it check its current position in the array before adding 1 and advancing the playhead.
var fLabels:Array = new Array("start1", "start2", "start3", "start4", "start5", "start6", "start7");
var cLabel:Number = 1;
function nextPlayClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {[code].....
It works with a movieholder and the loadMovie command. It has 9 buttons, one for each picture, and they work. There's also a previous and next button to navigate through the pictures, there the loadMovie command gives problems. Here are 2 lines that are used in the previous button:

For my online gallery, I'm using movie clips as buttons to navigate. I was having the movie clip play when you scrolled over it and off of it. Now i have it so when you click on it, it stops at the mid-way point. What on is to get it to go back to its original state when I click on something else. So basically I'm looking for a way to go back to frame 1 when a different movie clip/button is clicked on. I want it to revert back to what it was in an inactive state when I click on a different part, but I don't know how to do that
View 1 RepliesI have a flash movie with a kind of intro to enter the website. I need a script to navigate to a new url when the animation reach the frame 500. I don't have any buttons. I am saying that cause I already know how to make it work with a button but not with a frame number. What do I need to change in the script? Here's a button script I have;
btn_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,a);
function a(e:Event){
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.website.com");
navigateToURL(request, "_self");
}
So what should I change to make it work when it entered the frame 500 instead of when a button is clicked?
I am trying to navigate from one scene to another with buttons. the first scene is a simple Main Menu that has a button and when clicked it navigates to another scene. The code works and takes me to the scene, but once I am at the new scene I lose focus of the scene until I click on the stage. The second scene uses the keyboard to control the scene and not the mouse. Is there something that I need to add to the new scene so when I get there that I will have focus of the scene instead of clicking of the stage.

So this code works perfect with a componant button but I can't make it work with a normal one. Why? What is so different about them. Why can't I make a normal button and give it the same name "my_button"
For some reason even if I name the button the same thing as the component button it no longer works
I am building a proof-concept-interface and have followed a tutorial to a T but for some reason my version won't work. I've only scripted functionaility for the login and access buttons. This is only for a proof of concept and I've already spent to much time on it.

URL...I was just wondering how you managed to allow the use of the browser buttons to navigate within your SWF file.

I wanna make menu buttons to be dragged to navigate, I could drag the menu up and down with the as3 as follow.
but whenever click it to drag again, starting point of the menu move where I click on the board. I want to make the menu start to move from the point the mouse out.
I think this part should be done with something else.
" menu.y = board.mouseY; "
ActionScript Code:
var board01:Sprite = new Sprite();
stage.addChild(board);
board01.graphics.beginFill(0xCCCCCC,0);

I am working on a project, an online document, that is going to require buttons for next page and previous page. I have laid out the document in InDesign and have created the buttons in Flash. My only problem is I don't know how to add that interactivity. I'm guessing it is just a couple lines of ActionSctipt but I am not sure.
View 1 RepliesI wanted to setup an array of movieclip buttons to navigate across my timeline via labels, this is where it went pear shaped.
Having spent three days reading and attempting most online solutions I couldn't find a method which worked 100% without failing in some way or another.
I've had some joy with the method below having seen a blog entry covering different ways to call frames etc and which highlighted the bugbear below :
clipArray[i].mouseChildren = false; //Hidden bugbear
I've added the full code below so hopefully it may help anyone else who similarly nearly resorted to hari-kari in trying this.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
var clipArray:Array = [btn_1,btn_2]; // Movieclip's called btn_1 etc...
[Code]....
This works fine, now however my understanding of whether it is 'good' code or not is an issue, if this could be improved in any way I'd like to know why and how as the problem with learning AS3 from 2 is that often you use code having seen it online without fully grasping the detail.
Adding MovieClip buttons with fluidity and which cancel out from an array became a three day mission when you're learning...
i want to load in the images in projects and then have next/previous buttons for each project to look through the different images for the project. similar to how it is done in URL... (except that uses javascript, and that slides, mine can slide or fade in/out.)I have got one project on its own working. But i am not sure where is best to go to get the projects loading one after the other.[code]and i imagine my as3 code will include a for loop to grab each project and get the first image out of it for each one. and then next/previous buttons will cycle through each project.
View 1 RepliesI am having a very unique problem: I am creating a simple flash website, and I have a series of buttons that link to a series of frames. There are 27 buttons, and each proceed to a separate labeled frame. Each of the frames is a short animation 13 frames long. The buttons are all versions of this:
[Code]....
Then, 13 frames into the animation I just have a stop(); command. My issue is that if you click on any button in the series, none of the buttons that go to frames before the current one work. If I click button 20 and go to the 20th animation in the set, buttons 1-19 don't work, but 21-27 still do.
What's more, from moving the actions around to see if they needed to be in the same key frame as the button, I found that if the actions are in a single key frame in any of the animations, the animation stops on the frame that the actions are in. I also found that each button will only work once.
i'm trying to seperate some xml data into seperate pages. six entries on each page with three rows and two columns. i got the data to go into two columns...now i'm just trying to set up the next and previous buttons as well as showing only six entries per page.
View 2 Repliesi created a movie in that i placed 4 slides in a layer1 in frame 5,25,45,65,85.i had created a movieclip a rectangle in shape whish is static in a layer2 on rollover the movieclip rectangle i placed 2 buttons one is "previous" button and another is "forward" button.on running this i want the button operations like the following1. on clicking the "forward" button the the movie have to go to the slide 25.2. from there if we click the "forward" button it should go to 45and so on.like this 1. on clicking the "previous" button from the frame 45 it should go to the 25 frame of the movie and so on.
every thing is working but what the code i write in the button which is in the (rectangle shape)movie has taking the only one action. ie., when i write on(release){_root.gotoandplay("25")}it is globel to all position on the button.so only this action can only is taking place.so i want the action script to be global and as well as my above constrains should also satisfied.

I am setting up a website which requires lists of items to be loaded, I have set up a page that "slides" into the stage with 2 buttons at the bottom Previous and Next, so when a user selects the next button, I'd like for the current list to slide out and the next list to slide in... same for the previous button.
View 1 RepliesI'm building an XML photo gallery and I'm trying to get next and previous buttons to work. Here is the code I am working with.
Code:
function loadTheThumbs(){
var thumbLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var thumbRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest (thumbPathList[c] );
[code]....
I have written the nextPhoto function based on the loadExtPic function above and that does indeed load the function. The problem is, when I want to advance to the next image, I can't because I can't find how the currently selected image is set. When you click on a thumbnail the
Code:
var thisThumbsLink:String = picturePathList[c];
is set to the correct image, but I can't seem to see in the code where the "c" is coming from. I tried adding a
Code:
var LoadedPicture:String = picturePathList[c+1];
right under the thisThumbsLink var to no sucess. If I can figure out how, when you click on a loaded thumbnail it knows which thumbnail is loaded, then I can take that and make a next and previous link var as well in the same fashion the thisThumbsLink works.
I've got a photo gallery that I'm in the process of fine tuning, and I have my next button working, but can't get the 'previous' button to work. The closest I've come to having it work makes the 'previous' button just go back to the beginning of the file. What I want the file to do is just cycle through the XML, so even if I hit the beginning (or end), it'll just cycle to the first (or last) image, and continue on as normal.
Here's the script I have for the buttons:
ActionScript Code:
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, nextButton);
prev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, prevButton);
var currentImage:Number = 0;

View 2 RepliesI'm having problems with my AS2 and XML (on Flash 8). I finally figured how to create a simple slideshow which incorporates a "Next" and "Previous" button...but what i'm struggling with is: "How to click on the 'next' button so that the existing image scrolls to the left as the new image from the right moves to the center. And the opposite for the 'previous' button". Currently I have the existing image disappearing (alpha 0) and then the new image scrolls to the center from the right - which is not what I want to do.

import mx.transitions.easing.*;
