I have a movie with two tabs that are both in the unclicked state. However, I'd like the movie to default begin with tab one already pressed down. I'm also using the hash variable to determine between both tabs (so they both don't stay clicked at the same time). [URL]

I'm trying to highlight the current 'page' / movieclip by showing the onrollover state in navigation display/button.So the colour remains the onrollover state (in this case blue) while the particular movie clip/'page' is displaying. Changing when the user rolls over another button.I have two issues:1. I understand I have to place the button within a movieclip and have been experimenting with button '02' in the attached example.fla - however now I have done this the original action contained within the movieclip instance myScreen_mc is no longer working.
View 3 RepliesIs it possible to tween the up and over state of a button without making it a movie clip? I just have a button that inverts its bg and text color on over, and I'd like to tween that in the simplest way possible.

View 1 RepliesI need to add a rollover effect to the disabled state of a Spark button. This way, users can rollover the button and know why the button is disabled.I think I would have to override ButtonBase's getCurrentSkinState. Is there anyway to test if a mouse cursor is over a disabled button?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make my movie loop, but when I enter the following code in the last movie clip (layer) of my swf movie, it only loops back to the first frame of that movie clip (layer).
gotoAnd Play (1);
When I do the code above it doesn't loop back to the beginning of my movie.
What is the proper code for making it loop to the very beginning?
I tried to do the following code, but I got an error message. I'm not sure of the proper syntax for the code.
tli_logo.gotoAndPlay(1);
tli_logo is the name of the very first movie clip (layer) of the swf movie.
I believe that making the last frame of the last movie clip (layer) loop back to the first frame of the first movie clip (layer) will be what I am trying to achieve. Is this the proper way to go about this, or there a better and more proper way to do this. If there is, then please send me the proper syntax AS cs3 code to do it.
Is there anyway to use ActionScript (and/or Flashvars) to tell a video page to begin with the Mute button toggled to off? We are creating a page for multiple-languages, and the client wants the sound to begin muted. I have yet to figure out what kind of variable is used by muteButton in the built in skin, whether its a boolean with true/false or what.
View 1 Repliesi am working on a flash project i want to make the clicked button stay on the rollover state in the movie
see the fla file, i am using flash 8 pro
i was thinking to make frame by frame but i have many many buttons
I have 2 buttons in a flash movie with the following codes. They open a new URL that also contains a flash movie and it sends the variable "nFrame" and a value.
Button1:
Code:
on (release) {
getURL("goats.html?nFrame=1");
}
Button2:
Code:
on (release) {
getURL("goats.html?nFrame=2");
}
When the new URL opens I want the flash movie to begin at a particular frame depending on what variable "nFrame" is equal to. I tried placing this code in the first frame to do it but it didn't work, the movie just loops and loops and doesn't stop at any frame.
Code:
if(nFrame=1) {
gotoAndStop("cheese");
} else {
gotoAndStop("wine");}
}

View 1 RepliesI have a menu with five nav buttons (atcually MovieClips). Each has three frame labels: "on", "stay", and "off". The rollover and rollout animations play flawlessly, but I'm at a loss as to how to give each button a sticky "active" state. I'd like the button to stay in it's active state until another button is clicked, then I would like it to play it's "off" animation. Each MC has this code:

I have a series of buttons inside an array. I am trying to get the buttons so that once they are pressed, they remain in the over state. Which is a darker color than the up state. So that people know which button they have pressed. Is there an easy way to do this for buttons?
View 1 RepliesIs there a way of telling a MC button to have a hit state like a normal button? I have some text popping up away from my MC button that is included in the hit state. When I roll over the main button the text pops up. But also, when I roll over where the text pops up it also triggers the pop up animation.
View 2 RepliesI have made a number of Flash banners and I save them and everything is good but when I open them, some of the movie clips have reverted to a previous state. So I need to resize and redo thsoe movieclips. I make one banner and then save as new file and resize it. It is really annoying.. I am on P.C. and have all the current updates installed.
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to make buttons that involve a character pointing to indicate interaction.When a button is interacted with (mouse over or down) the character's arm points to that particular button. I separated his body, so that it remains constant on the main stage, no matter which button is being interacted with.The problem is, when the user is not mousing over or clicking down on any button, the character has no arms (since only his body remains constant)!How do I resolve this?The only thing I thought of so far is if there's any way to create an up button state that includes the arm (right now I have nothing for mouse up) THAT ENDS when the next button is interacted with. Is that possible? If I put the arm in the up state (in addition to mouse over and down) it stays when the interaction is over, which poses a problem when the user interacts with the next button (the character ends up with double the arms since each button introduces a different set of arms pointing towards that particular button).
View 1 RepliesI have a sub menu with two movie clip buttons, let's call them mc1 and mc2. They both have a MOUSE_OVER event and a MOUSE_OUT event. What I would like is that when mc1 is clicked it will stay in the over state and then if mc2 is clicked mc1 will go back to the out state while mc2 stays in the over state.What seems to be happening in my code is that the MOUSE_OUT event is overriding the MOUSE_DOWN event. So when I take the mouse off after I've clicked mc1 the over state goes away.
Here's my code thus far:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.*
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mc1_over);

how to make a button stay in its down state when it's clicked, and then go back to its up state when another button is clicked? I'm using buttons, not movie clips.
View 4 RepliesI have a rectangular shaped button. When someone rolls over it, I want a text bubble to appear to the side of that button. The problem is, the mouse thinks it's over the button even if it's over the side bubble which does not exist in the "Up" state. How can I get the cursor to only detect a button ONLY if it's over any part of the "Up" state and not the "Over" state (which because of the side bubble is larger than the original "Up" state.)
Here is a screenshot of the two button states.[URL]... Even if the cursor rolls over the "Over" bubble (and not the Up state), the Over state still shows up.
I have an interface that uses buttons to play videos. I would like it if, after you press a button, it stays in the 'down' state until the next button is pressed.
View 1 RepliesI've done the complex rollover tute where the animation plays and rewind when the mouse rolls on and off the button.What I'm trying to do is get button 1 to stay in the down state or clicked state until button 2 is clicked. Once button 2 is clicked, button 1 will play its rewind =true function.I can get the button to go to the down state when I click on it but the rollout function is overwriting the on release function as soon as I roll of the image.
View 5 Repliesi realize this probably a fairly simple question and also that i should have used movieclips for my buttons but i got lazy and used buttons for some of them
is there an easy way to make my button stay "on" after its clicked? i need something fairly easy that i can then go apply to a bunch of buttons. obviously it need it to turn off once another button is clicked as well.
Got a button with a gotoAndStop.When it gets to that frame I want to have a little bit o' script there to tell it to remain in that buttons over state.Should be simple, but I never did it with a button. I normally use MCs. Anyone know the syntax for it?
View 1 RepliesCurrently, when a button is in it's down-state, the AS disables the button. But since it needs to be active, i have to find a way to make the current 'down' button remain down during onRollOver and onRollOut.

this.over_holder._alpha = 100;
this.down_holder._alpha = 0;

I created a button in flash. I gave it a different state for 'over' and 'down' - changing the color and scale respectively, so it looks depressed when you hit it.I then assigned an action to the button so that when it is 'hit' you are taken to another scene. However when you hit the button it goes to the scene but you lose out on the 'hit/depressed' part of the buttons state!? Why?
How do you keep the hit state intact with the button whilst simultaneously assign an action?I understant 'the action' is to go to another scene first, but can it not also show the 'hit state too?[URL]
I've made a nav bar using buttons, and have them working just fine for Up, Over, Down, and Hit. (okay, so hit isn't a state, but I'll count it is as the fourth one)Problem is, once clicked on and produces a change in the flash, I want the button to not return to the Up state, but to visually be different so you can tell you are in that section.First problem is I can't for the life of me think of what that state is called. (Makes it hard to search for, and my poor little brain is fried right now.)Second problem is, can I force a button to not go back to up state? (either the over or down state would work fine).Or do I have to detect the click and then make a call to swap out the button file for the relevant section?
View 1 RepliesOkay so basically I have two buttons that go to the same destination, what I want to do is if one is ROLL_OVER'd then I want the other one to go to the roll over state as well. I figured out that part, what I cant figure out is why it's not going back to the upState, the regular state, I mean it works if I do gotoAndStop with movie clips, it's just with these darn buttons.

I have a mc button that has two key frames inside the mc, one "on" and one "off" state. What I need it to do is toggle between on and off when clicked. Right now it toggles between on and off when I hover even though I didn't specify it to hover.I am using actionscript 2 and here is what I have on the MC button:

So when you click on this button an image gets hidden and when clicked again it appears. I just need the button to toggle between on and off correctly.
