I have a button that I would like to use with the basic actionscript as follows:
on (release) {
this.gotoAndPlay("15");
}
What I would like it to do is play a section on the timeline and then move onto another section or scene.

I know this is incorrect, so would anyone know how to write an actionscript button that plays a section then goes somewhere else?
on [URL] what is the word 'section' in _root.section? I assume it is a movie clip instance, but can't seem to find it on the timeline.
View 2 Repliesthe source files work perfectly when I upload them to my server - but when I insert the form into my flash website - I am unable to receive the contact email at all. The problem must be with the flash file becuase I have not altered the php (except to send to my email)
I am using Flash CS3 (but publishing for action script2) I have double checked all my input field sare named correctly with var_names that match the php code. The form fields have been created as a moviclip named "form" and the following action script attached:

I have a bbq grill animated in flash that opens and closes on rollover and rollout. When the grill opens there are hamburgers and hotdogs. When you rollover the hamburgers and hotdogs a hover menu opens but this causes the grill lid to close because the hover menu is being triggered by the rollover from another button.
View 4 RepliesI'm a Flash novice and I can't seem to get this menu I'm working on to function just right.

The problem I'm having is when you mouse out from one diamond to another, the menu doesn't always go back to normal. I guess it's because of the way my movie clips are positioned... If one clip on top of the other, the rollOut function doesn't work on the bottom element. If that makes sense. Probably best to just download my Flash file to see how it's set up:

I've made a scrollpage of pictures and I've added a submenu under the page. What I ask for is there a way to link one of the buttons on the submenu to navigate you to a certain place (up or down) on the scrollpage? It must have something to do with the Y property I think, for the site to move up or down to a certain point.Here's the scrollpage: http:[url].....
And here's the fla. file: http:[url]......I've thought about it and tried many different methods without any luck.
I am having a hard time trying to create a sub-menu using xml. The main menu works but the sub-menu is not being populated. Here is the AS and the XML

creating a Nav with a submenu. Basically it needs to work like this: When you roll over the first button.. the two buttons below it slide down a bit and 4 buttons appear below that.. this needs to stay visible as long as you are rolled over the main button or the submenu.. I can't seem to get the events right.
View 1 RepliesI have an input text field with a movie clip behind it. When you roll over the movie clip it scales up, when you roll out, it scales down.problem is, rolling over the textfield triggers rollOut. which i dont want.
View 7 RepliesSo I'm actually doing something very simple here, but it's my first attempt at tweening things through code rather than on the timeline, so I'm pretty new at this. Basically I have a small image gallery, all the thumbnails are butted up against one another in a grid. When you roll over an image, the title should tween to reveal itself below the image. I have it set up so that both the image and title are in one movie clip, with the image on the top layer.
My code does work when you move your mouse slowly, however when you roll over and out really fast, the whole thing freaks out a little, and the titles don't tween back properly, they actually stay exposed even though they shouldn't. It looks like they kind of tween back, then pop out again, with out a tween. I linked to my current swf file so you can see for yourself. [URL].
Here is an example of my code which is iterated for every image.
MC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,onMC);
MC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,offMC);
var myTween:Tween;
MC.buttonMode = true;
function onMC(event:MouseEvent):void{
myTween = new Tween (MC.title,"y",Strong.easeOut,94.5,138,.65,true);
} function offMC(event:MouseEvent):void{
myTween = new Tween (MC.title,"y",Strong.easeIn,138,94.5,.35,true);
}
I currently have a flash file that has a whole bunch of buttons that are MC's with rollover and out states that open up a PDF when clicked.For each number (12-33) I have the MC with a new instance name and I am calling them with the following code:[code]So for each button I have this huge mess of code. There has to be a cleaner and more efficient way of doing this. Can you guys suggest anything?
View 7 RepliesWhat is the best way to keep a sub menu visible? The way I have it coding, is onRollOver the menu button, the sub menu is displayed. I want the submenu to disappear onRollOut of the entire menu... how would you do this?
View 2 Replieshow to make a navigation with a disappearing submenu to the right with actionscript? Basically, you can roll over a button and a submenu for that button appears to the right and the buttons below is slide down a bit. Then when you roll off of the button or the submenu.. the submenu disappears and the buttons below slide back up.
View 4 RepliesI am migrating from AS2 to AS3 and realize the button functionality is totally different. I have a website with buttons that have submenus. I have the first layer of buttons working. They have eventListeners attached that take them to a labeled frame on the timeline. When you get to that labeled frame there is a submenu of buttons there. I tried putting the code for those buttons in the same script on frame 1 but it messes up the movie.
I think it has something to do with the buttons not actually being there on frame 1 when the script is read. I cannot figure out where to put the script for the submenu buttons to make them work. I think I have to put a parent type script in there. Sorry I dont even know what to look up.
Here is the link to the site: [URL]
Here is the code on frame 1:
Code:
stop();
function goCollections(e:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("collections");

I created a text on stage, converted it to a movieclip the created the necessary submenu in the frames. It works up to that point but the link that is placed in the main scene wont execute...

How can I make sure a menu button name appears in a different colour when it is selected and stays that colour until the user navigates to another page?Example: My menu buttons have a dark brown font. I have changed the font colour to red on the 'down' state of the button setting. This means the users clicks on a menu, e.g. Gallery and the Gallery button turns red briefly. However, it doesn't stay red which is what I want.

As you can see the head moves to 4 different levels...
On the left in each on of those levels i want there to button one with there own rollovers
I would make them all one... but i want the head to move regardless of whether you're over the button...
PROBLEM: when you go over the button the roll over to move the head stops working and the head moves back to the original position
So how do define a overlapping hit areas
I am curious on how I can add springs into a basic motion tween for something like menus.
I checked out Kirupa's small tutorial but that is a constant, not something like rollovers. The basic idea is much like lots of other sites, I just want to add a little less ridged feedback from my menus.
Is it possible to have 2 images one for the menu and one for rollovers and have actionscript determine which buttons I rollover? For example - I have a menu that I created in a graphics program with a background color, 7 buttons (HOME, ABOUT, etc) with text, and separators. I also have a rollover graphic with a different background color with the same 7 buttons with text, and separators.
Is it possible with actionscript, say I rollover HOME and it displays the rollover graphic but only over HOME and the same for the other buttons? I thought it would be easier using two images instead of separating the buttons etc.
Why are my dynamic RollOvers and RollOuts getting stuck?If you want to download the files go to URL...[code]
View 1 RepliesI have tried out on the advanced roolover buttons in this tutorial [URL]. But the problem now is tat I have a button a red crab when I rollover it it will become a crab grey button. I have 2 separate buttons for the crab. While basically the grey crab button's animation lies in the same movie clip as the word tween. So what I want is when I roll over the red crab it will display the grey crab, and when i roll out the grey crab will fade away to the red crab. And also when I clicked on the grey crab when the mouse is hovering over it it will open up another movie clip. There's also some mistake with the grey crab it only seem to be working when it is in graphic but want I want is a button. I can't assign ant actionscript codes to it if it only works in a button.
View 1 RepliesI recently came across Lava Lamp's website, very interesting. I am curious if anyone can point me in the direction for creating rollovers employing this same style they are using. I can see that it is comprised of movies for the rollover and rollout. However, when I try to create the rollout state things just don't work. I have tried using the advanced rollover tutorial on this site but when I try to recreate it using a shape I just doesn't work.
Can anyone point me to a source for recreating this type of rollover?
