View 1 RepliesFor 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.

music
light
This should help:
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.

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);
[Code].....
as 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 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 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].....
im trying to navigate through a movie clip and stop at frame labels using individual buttons to call to individual labels while being able to see the on the way to the frame(for a blurred effect).my goal is to jump from point A to point F to point Z and see all the frames in between and visa versa.
View 1 Replieswould someone have the code necessary to navigate to a pdf file if its possilbe?
Here is some suggested code but it doesn't work.
pdfDoc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goToPdfDoc);
function goToPdfDoc(event:MouseEvent):void{ navigateToURL(getURL("mydoc.pdf"), "_self");
}
I have a large project, and I need to have a complex folder structure separating all my classes, shared libraries, main swf's etc... I understand how to navigate downwards into a file structure for example: Classes.Buttons.ButtonMain How do I navigate upwards though? My shared library is in a seperate folder, so it needs to navigate up one folder, and over to the Classes folder to reference all the classes.
View 0 RepliesI need to open and navigate a website from a flash file.
I have to use a sort of "iframe"?
there seems to be no accepted method of playing multiple flv using buttons. My latest attempt has me putting multiple instances of the flvPlayback component in different frames and using buttons to navigate to those frames. It works but nothing anyone has posted anywhere will result in removing the flv when you go to a different frame and instance. This was simple in AS2. Load movie to a traget and each time you load a new movie the other one goes away. REALLY goes away.
View 7 RepliesAnyways I am using action script 3.0 and I created multiple layers using just one scene. I created a layer with lables on them to mark where I want my buttons to point to and go to. I have the stop (); on the first frame. And I made my buttons mostly interactive with movie symbols and tweens.My first scene I have 2 doors, the user can pick which door to go to and it takes them into a different path.I made the buttons that are clicked to go forward, and then I tried to make an invisible button on the button edge of the scene to go backwards However, the PROBLEM is when I click my button to go backwards I am stuck on the first page and can't move forward.
function gotoOne(evt:Event):void{ gotoAndStop("one")}backbutton1.addEventListener("click",gotoOne);
function gotoFour(evt:Event):void{

I have managed to get it to open a file browser but all I can seem to get it to do is give me the NAME of the selected file *eg. selectedFile.name* I also need the path of the file as in C:examplefile.mp3.
The program I'm making plays an MP3 of your choice at a certain time, like an alarm clock. But I got tired of entering the file path of the MP3 EACH time so I wanted to have a browse feature.
When i save the file as an .swf file to view it in my browser the video gets really big (sized the flash document 250x240 px) . How can i easily control my flash video sizes?
another thing: When im doing a video and work with things that are outside of my white document (in the gray area) for instance things that are to be faded into the document and so on. These things also show up in outside of my video when i view it in my browser.

I created a flash movie. All of the pictures fade in and out perfect. There is a button on each of the pictures and these buttons take you to the picture�s respective page. When I test the movie the buttons work fine. When I export the movie as (.swf) and try it again the buttons work. I am hosting it on a GoDaddy domain that has been purchased and am referencing it on another site that I own. When I embed it onto my website, the movie plays fine but the buttons are not functional. Here are the things that I have tried to rectify the problem:
- Tried exporting and publishing to Flash Player 7 and 6 DID NOT WORK
- Instead of:
on (release) {
getURL(http:// . . ._self)
}
I created a new layer and gave the button an instance name and used it as an action layer:
MyButton.onRelease = function() {
getURL(www . . . ., _self)
}
DID NOT WORK
I am experiencing some weird behavior with some moveclips and buttons on my video player; (as2)URL...I have created a video player that has the scrubber/playpause button actually move with the position in the video. There are other links that appear when the main video is at a certain point. There seems to be 2 problems with it which I cant figure out what is going on...
-1st is that the scrubber is actually linked to the timeline (where the buttons are on) with the follwing code;MovieClip.prototype.scrubbb2 = function (x){var f2:Number = Math.round (this._totalframes * x);this.gotoAndStop (f2);}For some reason the timeline starts from when the video is buffering, so its all out of sync with certain points in the video. But when you move the scrubber, the timeline seems to 'snap' into place and then all the videos line up.
-2nd is that the link buttons will not appear unless the mouse is over the flash video player on the webpage. If your mouse is out of the video player nothing appears when its meant to. as soon as you put the mouse cursor into the flash player the links (that are meant to be visible) appear instantly. Is there a way to make them always appear on time?!
