I am making animation button by movie clip, which has up, over, out and down state animations.
Using addEventlister and adding mouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, ROLL_OUT and Click.
It works almost OK but when I put and stop mouse at around corner of the hit area of this button, animation starts loops playing between over and out state.
Is any way to avoid it?
I have a very simple animation of a butterfly I would like to delay the animation from running again once the butterfly flies off the stage area. and then have it start about 5 minutes later.
[Code]...
I created a simple animation that needs to have a button on one segment of the animation. I created a button with a action of getURL in AS3, the problem I am having is that every time the animation loops from the first frame it triggers the button and the new page I requested pops up.
View 6 Repliesmy file works fine in the first loop but after the first loop the more it loops the more stuff stops working. and eventually after like 3 loops the animation stops the graphic is changing at different times and its all all over the place.i'm not sure why this happens i've had many theories. i'm not removing event listeners, maybe the text should be told to change upon the end of the exiting tween event.but i tried to do all of that and it still didn't work.
View 6 RepliesI've just created my first flash animation. It's about 10 seconds. The only problem is that it loops continuously. In the "using Flash for the first time" lesson by Jen deHaan (great lesson1), she mentions that you can drop this code in "stop();" and she also recommends to add all such code to a single frame to make it easy to find. However, she does not mention how to add code to a frame.
Likewise, the Help file only discusses stopping the loop for specific "graphics instances," not for an entire scene or movie. I'm sure it's simple. I just can't find it.
I am trying to make a basic animation that loops indefinitely. My brother, who is a Flash genius (but uses CS3) has suggested I put a gotoAndPlay(1) action after the last frame. This doesn't work.

I am trying to make an animation of around 12 seconds which loops continuously, stop after 30 seconds and continue on mouse over.
I've been trying to do this using a timer, but get the feeling that this might be a seriously misled approach.
I'm using this var timer2 = setTimeout(checkValue2, 2000);
as a frame action in Frame 2, which then triggers checkValue2 which is a piece of function in Frame 1 where all the _global. variables are as well.
clearTimeout(timer2);
gotoAndStop(3); //goto lvl3 - throw
addStage3();
it'd then goto Frame 3, but, the problem is even after clearing, the frame animation still loops every 2 seconds, regardless whether i'm using setTimeout or setInterval. Do you might know of any other way where what I need is, after 2 seconds in Frame 2, it'd then move to Frame 3, which I don't want it to go anywhere yet.
On my main timeline I have a movieclip with an instance called "eye". What I would like to happen if for a random number to be generated and assigned to "blink". If blink = 20 then I want to play "eye"s animation. This is the code I have so far:
[AS]
blink=Math.random(20)
if(blink=20){
_root.eye.gotoAndPlay(2)
}
[/AS]
I've told the eye animation to stop() in the first frame to stop it from animating before being told. I know this won't work yet, I haven't worked out how to put this code in a loop to keep generating a new value for blink, and test if it is 20.
I am very new to all this and want to learn but am struggling to get the thing explained so that I understandDo you know of a good simple tutorial that explains how I can use loops to load jpgs and text sometimes from a single button and sometimes from multiple buttons.To press one button and load one jpg and text is ok but to get one button that each time it is pressed loads the next picture with its text fromexternal files is something else and when I then need several buttons that each load a different jpg with its text wow.

I have a button that is a movie clip that is set up with animations triggered with MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT event listeners. The glitch is that once the mouse is over the button ... each ensuing pixel that the mouse is moved, loops the animation again. That probably didn't make a whole lot of sense, so I posted the file on my test site [URL]. You have to drag your mouse slowly across the button to see this. The bottom part of the button works as I'd expect. When you roll over the text at the bottom of the button, everything functions as it should. The looping problem starts when you roll over the image portion of the button. For some reason it considers each consecutive pixel rolled over to be a new event and consequently triggers the "over" animation again.
The code I have is below. I've commented out the MOUSE_OUT function for now. There is also a screenshot at the above link of my Layers palette for the button clip in question. I put a "stop" label at each frame that has an action so you see the actions used.
oneBedButton_mc.buttonMode = true;
oneBedButton_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, overEffect);
//oneBedButton_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, outEffect);
function overEffect (e:MouseEvent) {
oneBedButton_mc.gotoAndPlay("over");}
function outEffect (e:MouseEvent) {
oneBedButton_mc.gotoAndPlay("out");}
ok lets say you create a button that when held down play an animation of 20 frames if realsed it goes to frame one and stops if held down it plays out this animation. for the topic lets say you have a fire animation and you want the fire to apear and if the user hold its down the animation reaches the end of the time line and loops back and plays the last 5 frames of the animation and as soon as it is let go it goes to and stops at frame one. Well i know how to make a button that when held down plays out an animation. And i know how to say when released goes to and stops at frame one. What i dont know how to do is to loop the fire at the last 5 or 6 frames so the user can hold it down all day long and play out that animation.
View 1 Repliesim trying to do is have a button that shows an animation (created by a duplicateMovieClip function) with onRollOver and stops the animation with onRollOut. It works when i roll over and it stops when i roll out, but then it continues in a loop up to the point where i rolled out (instead of cutting off completely as i would like). Id be extremely grateful if you could tell me where im going wrong.

I'm stucked here. I want the font type "BauhausMedium" to apply when ft_01 is clicked, font type "Haettenschweiler" to apply when ft_02 is clicked, etc... at the same time I want all" ft_01a", "ft_02a", "ft_03a" movieclips to hide except for the movieclip similar to the clicked button. E.g. if "ft_02" was clicked ft_02a to be visible =true and rest to be visible = false (ft_01a, ft_03a).
So I had an interesting request from a client the other day. Basically, he wanted the button (which looks like a sticker) to peel off as the mouse approaches the button. So from the outside of the hover point, it would peel a little. As the mouse gets closer, the peel animation would peel more (or less, depending on the mouse position) until it is 'peeld' off the page and sort of hovering above the background when the mouse is finally over the button.
Does anyone know of some custom classes that might achieve this? It seems like it would be making use of the new 3D in flash10, but I haven't had much time to experiment with 3D in flash.
I downloaded a flash template and have modified it to suit our company but there is something that I can't do. When the file loads in the browser, music immediately plays and loops until you click a button to stop the music. On our video page, we have video
that we need to play that has sound in it. How do I get the background music to stop when my video plays without having to go up and stop the music manually. The videos are loaded via an external XML document and there are no buttons in the FLA file to link code to. the website is [URL]
i have my main timeline with all the code on the first layer all is good there. But then inside a movie clip that is inside another that plays an animation i have some more code to load an external swf.
the code works fine i have tested it but it does not seem to want to work when its put in the timeline inside a movieclip.
I know i can put it on the first main stage layer with all my code and it will work but i want it only to work after i click a button and that button has played its animation.
I have a movieclip that shows an animation onRollOver and an animation on RollOut but onRelease the animation enlarge itselfs but now when I'll roll out when the animation isn't open (so i didn't release) the animation plays the animation for the minimizing of the animation. Here's my code (I know its a bit amateuristic but I'm not a programmer )

I'm trying to create a button with a bit of animation. So far, no matter what I do I can't get this to work. The problem is with Roll Over and Roll Out. if you look at the file I attached there's a glitch when the mouse goes over and out very quickly. (ONLY from the top and bottom, left and right works ok)
View 3 RepliesI'm working on a project where there's this girl standing still and she's supposed to jump to the front when clicked on, but she doesn't jump. She's set as a button symbol like such: [Up] standing still, instance is a png file [Over] Bends down and swings her arms repeatedly. It leads to a movie clip with another movie clip file inside and this works successfully [Down] When clicked on she gets into this position pre-jump. Instance is a png file

creating a button animation for use on the web. I would like to use an animation similar to that on the buttons of the list on [URL]
I have created my four layers for the button, but i am new to flash and i am not sure where to go from there.
I have done an animation which includes a button that I want to use to start it. I've added action script to stop the animation on the last frame, I just have no idea what action script to put in to start it when the button is pressed. I have 14 layers + an action script layer. 7 of the layers are animated.
View 3 RepliesI was wondering how to create a button that will animate with rollover and rolloff? For example, if I have a box and when you rollover, the box will slide up and a text slides down. and once you roll off, the box will slide back down to its original place and text will slide back up behind the box?
View 8 RepliesI have one scene linked to another through a button, when I click on the button that links to scene two it takes me to the scene but doesn't play the animation it just shows the non animated components. Is there something really obvious I am missing here because if I go to the scene (when I am not testing the movie) the animation works perfectly.
View 1 Repliesto save space for when I upload to a swf hosting site I wanted to optimise my flash file as much as possible. The design is a cube which rotates displaying 4 sides, these 4 sides are individual frames, I have an animation which is in between each section to get to each frame, one where the cube rotates right, one left.there are only 2 animations and previously I had duplicated each animation 4 times with an actionscript "gotoAndStop" command at the end of them. I've tried having a simple .flv file with a complete action as well but the .swf hosts all seem to hate that.I want something similar to:
right_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndPlay(5);
}

I don't have much experience with buttons and barely any with action script. I am trying to make a button that is a non-animated symbol on up, a glowing version of the symbol on over, and on down the symbol swaps to an animated symbol that moves across the screen.
But, on the down state, the symbol does not animate like it is supposed to. When I hold the mouse button down, the glow goes away, but the symbol just does not animate as specified in the symbol that appears during the down state.
I tried experimenting with making the button move on the main timeline, adding a stop() command in one of the layers of the up-state symbol, and then adding a play() command to one of the layers of the down state symbol, but nothing seems to work.[code]...
I have two motion-tween animated movie clips used as "buttons" which I would like to link to various html pages on my site. Using invisible buttons works, but I can no longer see the animation. If I put it under the movie clip layer, it no longer responds. Is normal, or should I place the invisible button within the editable movie clip?
View 4 RepliesI'm very new at Flash and while Ive picked up the basics of tweening and creating animations. I'm trying to create an image of a post it note that is revelaed via a mask when a user rolls over a seperate image. I have created the animation of the mask and it revelas the note fine. My question is how do I create an invisible button and code it in action script so when I roll over image 1 my mask tween begins playing to reveal the post it.
