I am working on an application for an advocacy group for people with learning difficulties. I have ran into a few issues though that I can't really figure out.http:[url]....
If you go to the above link and make your way to the menu, you will see that a black arrow flashes when you hover over a button. Then when you click it, it moves the next page, however when you click the menu button to go back, the black arrow will still be flashing, instead of returning to its first button state. The main menu is removed before it procedes to the next screen, like so:
Code:
public function confSubMenuOneScreen():void {
subMenuOneScreen = new SubMenuOne();
removeChild(mainmenu)[code].....
I have an air project which every seconds reads a txt file. Depending on the content of this file it loads an external swf file (the contents of the file is changed from an external program periodically)Every external swf file gots a flvplayback2.5 inside which loads and play a flv video (everthing is done locally).
The problem comes when the contents of the txt file changes and I have to unload the previous swf and load the new one.Despite the new swf loades plays fine I can still hear the audio of the previous swf playing in background.For the project I used only one Loader in which i load the external swf files. Before loading another swf inside it, I call the Loader.unload() but no luck.I thought that this method would remove also the loaded object but the Adobe reference about the unload() method says:
"Removes a child of this Loader object that was loaded by using the load() method.The property of the associated LoaderInfo object is reset to null.The child is not necessarily destroyed because other objects might have references to it; however,it is no longer a child of the Loader object.As a best practice, before you unload a child SWF file, you should explicitly close any streams in the child SWF file's objects, such as LocalConnection,NetConnection,NetStream, and Sound objects.Otherwise,audio in the child SWF file might continue to play,even though the child SWF file was unloaded.To close streams in the child SWF file,add an event listener to the child that listens for the unload event.When the parent callsLoader.unload(), the unload event is dispatched to the child."
I don't know how interal structure of the external swf is,beacause the customer gave to me only the compiled swf (I guess there's not a lot inside that swf, i think only the flvplayback control, but if i don't know the name of the flvplayback I can't invoke any stop method on it).So, do You know any method to brutally unload the loaded swf, by destroying it,no matter where it hides itself in the dark and misterious jungle of the Flash Player?
I have an invisible button that on rollover should play a movie clip. Within that movie clip I need it to play frame 33. However, when I use the following code it does absolutely nothing. Instance name of the movie clip is "flavorIcons"
i can in AS 1.0 attach a sound and play it on rollover fine...
Pretty much i have a button when you roll over it plays a sound thats it...very simple....i also know i can do it on the keyframes but i was hoping to do it dynamically as my site is completely created using AS barely no keyframes and i do not wish to start...
I'm fairly experienced with AS2 and not very with AS3. I've run into a problem with sounds repeating and have set up some simple test files. Yes I'm sure they could be set up in a smarter way, what I'm curious about is why the AS3 behavior is different from AS2.
I'll explain what I've got:
A file with five frames. Nothing on frames 1-4. On frame 5 there is a stop() action, and a movieclip with a sound embedded into it set to "Stream". There is also a button that triggers a gotoAndPlay(1) event when clicked.
In AS2, clicking the button stops the sound (because the clip doesn't exist on frames 1-4), replays the .swf and on frame 5 starts the sound over.
In AS3, the .swf replays, but the sound continues to play (in spite of the clip not being on frames 1-4) and on reaching frame 5, starts playing a second copy of the sound over the first.
I've a main movie, for example, this movie has 3 buttons, in each button there's a MovieClip in the Over area, for example button1 contains a MovieClip with some animation, this clip has an Instance name clip1_mc, ok, untill this, everything it's ok, the effect it's easy to achieve, when I rollover my mouse over that button, the clip called clip1_mc starts to play, piece of cake, the problem is this, what happens if I call an extrenal .SWF, this .SWF contains a simple button, when I rollover this button I want to play my clip inside in my button in my main Movie, I cannot do this, I was trying with something like this: on (rollOver) { _parent.clip1_mc.play(); } But this is not working.
I'm currently working on a flashsite and are trying to figure out rollover menu buttons. The site has 6 menu buttons and are placed next to each other. I want to put a rollover action on the buttons, that when you rollover a button that the whole button image enlarges and moves in front of the other.
I'm trying to fade in a button over a looping video clip however, it fades in and disappears after a few seconds. I tried adding stop() to the button but it stops the whole movie instead of just the button.

I want to rollover a button and have it trigger the rollover state of another button. The buttons overlap. The one on top is transparent and smaller than the bottom button. So far I think I have the AS3 to handle the rollover of the top button, but I don't know how to trigger the other button's rollover state.
I'm using actionscript 1.0 and 2.0 on flash Pro 8 and keep getting an error when I test the movie. Here is the error:
[Code]...
I've tried to create this rollover navigation...starting over 6 times already. Is there different language / coding for 1.0 and 2.0? I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
The animation/rollover works well but it still abruptly stops when I rollover another button. The link below is an example on what I want to accomplish.
I have a movie clip that I have coded to be (alpha 0), on rollover play movie clip (alpha-1), then on rollout alpha goes back to 0. So the rollover alpha part and rollout back to alpha 0 works great, but on rollover the mc is not playing?
My buttons are play_btn (rollover) and stop_btn (rollout), and the movie clip is steam_mc.
I've got a simple rotating banner and would like to have an mp3 play if someone rolls over the banner and stop if they move their mouse away. I grabbed some code from this forum and placed it on my button instance but it's not working. Here are the working files: [URL]. I've "linked" the mp3 file and given it the ID of "makin" and posted the following actionscript on the button instance:
Actionscript Code: // button actionson (rollOver){ // creates a new object from Sound classyourSound = new Sound(); // attach the 'idSound' named from libraryyourSound.attachSound("makin"); // start the sound attachedyourSound.start(0,1);}on (rollOut){yourSound.stop();}
I'm using AS2 (Flash CS3). I have an invisible button that on rollover should play a movie clip. Within that movie clip I need it to play frame 33. However, when I use the following code it does absolutely nothing. Instance name of the movie clip is "flavorIcons".
Here is my class, but when I rollover the button, especially near the edge of the button the sound plays continuously. I have tried to set up a boolean variable and set it true after the sound plays and false on mouse out and only play when false, but that didn't work either... I was thinking about setting up a timer to handle it, but I wanted to make sure there wasn't something simpler I was missing first.
This is a project I am working on for my job's website. When you rollover the red dots I want the wave animation to play but I also want words to come up in the blue bar describing the location of that specific dot (e.g. Singapore), but I dont want the wave animation itself to have rollover because that causes problems. Right now the "dot" button has a "hit" area that plays the wave movieclip so the wave doesnt have a rollover property. I tried just adding another rollover property to the whole "dot" movieclip that would display the descriptions, but that made it where the wave mc wouldnt play on rollover. I also want the wave to play out in its entirety, not disappear as soon as you rollout.
I've just started get the hang of Flash, but am not too skilled with AS2 yet apparently. I was wondering how I would go about if I want the scene to pause when I roll the mouse over it, and then continue playing when I roll out.
I figured it would be something like this: on(rollOver){ stop(); } on(rollOut) { ??? }
#1. How do I get a movie to close after it has played? #2. In my menu I have 8 links. I'd like to have 7 links disappear when the user rolls over the 1 link. How would I make the other 7 disappear when the user is rolled over 1?
I have a sound clip that I'm loading externally into my flash file. The code I'm using looks like this and is placed in the as layer on the first frame,
var mySound:Sound = new Sound(); var myChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel(); var myTransform = new SoundTransform(); var lastPosition:Number = 0; mySound.load(new URLRequest("introaudio.mp3")); myChannel = mySound.play(); [Code]....
So I made a few buttons with sounds within them and when I publish it they work just fine. But what I want them to do is;
Say I click a Button.The sound starts playing.Then I click it again, before the sounds done playing.I want it to stop the playing sound and start playing the button I just clicked on, whether it be the same button, or a different one.Right now it just ends up sounds like an echo because it'll play it as many times as you click it.
Take a look at the following sites; and notice their menus. Both have a rollover and rollout on their buttons, and when the button is hit the button stays down until another button is pressed. In the scissor sisters site, the neon bar still fades out after another has been pressed.
Franz Ferdinand Scissor Sisters
I am trying to achieve this myself with my own site, which you can view in progess here:
My Site
I have mastered the button rollOver and rollOut effect, in which i gathered the code from a kirupa tutorial. My problem is, getting the neon bar to stay underneath teh last button that has been pressed.The main movie is located on the main timeline in frame 2, because frame 1 contains the pre loader.
The actions for frame 2 of the main timeline are:
Code: stop(); movieLoader.loadMovie("news.swf"); total = movieLoader.getBytesTotal(); loads = movieLoader.getBytesLoaded();
[code]....
Now the buttons are not buttons, they are movieclips, which are located on the stage, and have instance names of b1 for news, b2 for biography etc etcInside the movieclip, the animation of the neon bar fading in takes 25 frames, and this has a stop action on the end.
I started working on a little page of mine, and I already ran into some trouble hehe. I'm kind of learning as I go along. Heres the script I'm having some trouble with:
ActionScript Code: this.qmbacking.onRollOver = function() { //tweens rolling in the menu
I'm designing an interface for a class, and the buttons that I am using all have multiple functions.For example, when the story button is clicked, I need the mc to stop playing and change to text (in the same window/screen, just no mc playing). The mc is 31 frames long, but if there's a way to just make it loop continuously until told not to, Currently, my code looks like this:
stop(); story_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,story); function story(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop(32);}credits_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,credits);[code]...
When I click the button, the mc does not stop playing and the text does not show up.
Anyway what I need to do is have a movie clip finish playing when a button is clicked and then go to the frame label associated with the button. I hope I'm explaining myself ok. So if I had say 4 buttons Home Gallery About Contact If Contact is clicked then I want the Home page to play (Which is a fade out) and then go to Contact Page (which will fade in). Then If Gallery is clicked then I want Contact to fade out and then go to Gallery page and fade in.
I'm working on a project, and it's going OK. What I want to do is for the user to rollover a button/object, and a little pop-up box will show up, and it will have some text/photos/... Pretty routine stuff. That I can accomplish without a problem...
Now, what I want to add in there is also a hyperlink that will open a Web page in a new window. And that's where I get stuck. It won't let me.
I assume it's because part of the rollover thing in the button symbol. That's how I'm doing it so far.
So, is there anything I can do going that route, or do I need to take another approach?
I'm thinking the other option would be to create a movie clip, which would hold the pop-up box and the photos and the like, then make a button within that which would hold the hyperlink. Then, I could create an object right on the timeline with a rollOver that would trigger the movie-clip instance.
Im having a problem getting a Rollover to work. I have a picture with an opaque box over it and when you scroll over the opaque box i want it to tween out and the picture become a clickable area...then when you roll off the opaque box returns to it original position. I can get the box to move...but i think i have too many event listeners and its looping. this is the effect im going for.
I am creating a photography website, and I wanted to have captions below my photographs appear on the rollover of an info button, and disappear when its off. How do I do that? Also, I used an image array to load the images, and there are 18 images in the gallery, when there is a new image the caption has to change....
There is a flash which have a small navigation on the buttom. There is a small arrow on the buttom when the mouse rollover on the arrow the arrow is gone dissaper and the navigation show on the stage. When i rollout the mouse its collaps but when my mouse pointer is in the swf area. If i have rollout quickly form the navigation out of the swf area (on html). It's not working.
I am trying to get a rollover button to go from one scene to another. I have been succesfull with this action before with a static button but now can't get it to work. The file can be downloaded from the following location: [URL]..For some reason I can't upload it with this message.
The button is named "btn_1" and I have only applied the action in the Main scence. The button should take the visitor to the scene titled "Korean War."
