main swf load's in empty mc an external swf (submenu) and each swf load's in empty mc subsubmenu) other swf.
now in each sub_swf (second swf) when button is clicked I disable some buttons:
on (release) {
loadMovie("books_1.swf",empty)
[code]....
i have a movie with this button which disables it upon loading of external .swf file:
on(release) {
loadMovieNum ("lg_01.swf", 2);
i1.enabled = false;
}
the site in progress: [URL]..How do i tell said .swf file to re-enable the "i1" instance from the original .swf file it loaded into? I guess where I'm getting lost is how to tell one .swf to affect another.
I think if i knew this little tidbit, I would most definitely be able to have more control over my sites.
I'm a self-taught novice actionscripter and obviously don't know enough to do something as simple as this.
I took an object and converted it into a button symbol. I want to be able to disable and enable the button in different situations. I used the action script code "myButton.enabled=true;" and "myButton.enabled=false;" but these don't seem to work. Is it possible to access this property of a button I made? if not is there any way to change the button in the user interface components? if not is there any other way to disable or enable the buttons i made?
View 1 RepliesI have a movieclip on my first frame that has some functions assigned to it from my 'actions' layer. When the user clicks a button, I want to go to frame 2, have the same movieclip showing, but disable the functions that I set to it in the first frame. Is there a way of doing this?I also want the functions to be re-enabled again once another buttons is clicked, to go back to the first frame.
View 2 RepliesI've been creating my first complex buttons and there're some details I haven't solved yet. How do I disable a button after being clicked and how do I re-enable it after clicking another button? I've come across this "removeEventListener" and tried it but I can't seem to work it out...
Here's my code so far:
aempresa.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,btnOver);
aempresa.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,btnOut);
aempresa.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickAempresaToGoToWebPage);

View 2 RepliesI have a list with a dataprovider, it lists out buttons encapsulated in an item renderer. All I want it to do is have a skin that it changes to when it is clicked. I can get this to happen, but then it just goes back to its up state. I want it to stick on the down state, which I have to do by disabling the button.
So I tried this:
buttonList.selectedItem.enabled = false;

I'm pretty green with Flash coding, but I'm trying to disable the rollovers for my button MCs when they are on the page that they link to.I have all my listeners in functions such as:
function enableButton1()}function disableButton2()[code]....
Everything always works fine until I go from one page to the next.In other words, when it tries to re-enable Button1 I get an error no matter what method I try:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.[code].....
Everything in my fla file is internal.Nothing is externally loaded.So it's not an error with load() functions.

how to enable the forward and back buttons in internet explorer for a 100% flash site? Looking for a tutorial which only uses actionscript if that's possible... found a few on google but they use javascript (in seemingly complex ways, and I dont know javaScript)... also named anchors arrent an option either because they dont truely take you "back," they only go to the prior named anchor on the timeline.. And, they only work on the root timeline.

I'm building a site at the mo with pop up that can be activated and covers the main page with a new info page. This popup can be activated at anytime and will cover whatever is in the main page. Trouble is, buttons are still active from the main page when popup is displayed and given the site design the only way to stop this problem is disabling the buttons below. What is a good way of doing this? I was hoping flash keeps some sort of array of mc content and the buttons could be identifed this way but somehow i don't think this is likely!

lnk0.enabled = isIt;

View 1 RepliesI've created a sliding menu that has a left button and a right button. Each button slides a background movieclip to the left or right. The background mc eases into position when one of the buttons is clicked. Problem is that buttons can still be clicked while the mc is easing into position. This throws off my x coordinate positioning of the mc. I've tried disabling the buttons and enabling them again at a few different points in my code. I've also tried using a time delay to enable the buttons but my logic isn't working. I've stripped the code that was not working out.

View 3 RepliesI'm working on a test where the user must find specific error keywords on a document and click on them to identify them as errors. After they click on an error, a movieclip popup displays to tell them they did a good job and explain why the error is an error.
On the movieclip that pops up, I've got a standard X close button to kill the movieclip. The problem is, when you click on the close button, the 20 buttons on the document below are still active, and can still be clicked on. Is there a simple way to disable them all, but only when a popup movieclip is being displayed?
Is there a way to disable buttons while a movieclip plays?Here's the logic in english:If you mouse_over buttonA and buttonB, fly_mc plays.If you mouse_over buttonC, flutter_mc plays.While fly_mc is playing, flutter_mc cannot play, and vice versa.
View 2 Repliesso...i've got these buttons in movie clips. the buttons are animated for mouseover and i've also got an action on the first frame of the main timeline to get the buttons to stay active when clicked on, so the view knows where he is.the problem with this is that any time i go to put an action on the button itself to pull up an external .swf or whatever, the buttons stop animating and/or stop staying "depressed" on the active sheet.

I am wondering how can one stop the user from clicking on a button (MC) without using btn.enabled = false.example: i have a menu that has buttons which have tweens on rollover and onRelease events. I want to be able to click on home for e.g. disabling all other buttons to avoid user clicking but still keep the rollover. I have tried btn.enabled = false and of course i dont want to disable the entire btn and instead i want to disable just the onRelease event or even avoid the mouse from clicking until the animation finish. Only Then, user can click on another menu button.
