ActionScript 3.0 :: Buttons Does Not Work If Leave Frame And Return
Jul 19, 2011
I have some simple buttons that work fine until I leave the frame the buttons are on a go to another frame. When I return the buttons are dead. This is how aI set up listeners and handlers:
Event listeners for tour screen buttons
detailsMovieClip_mc.tour0.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, tour0_click);
detailsMovieClip_mc.tour0.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, tour0_over);
detailsMovieClip_mc.tour0.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, tour0_out);
function tour0_click(Event:MouseEvent):void {

I'm working on a multiple-choice quiz. Each question is in its own frame, Q1, Q2, Q3, etc. In Q1 frame, when I click a radio button (A, B, C, or D) it displays a Continue button which when clicked takes me to frame Q2. In frame Q2 I have a Return button that brings me back to frame Q1. The problem I'm having is that when I click the Return button in frame Q2, it takes me back to frame Q1 and I can click on radio buttons A, B, C, or D, but they do not display the Continue button. In other words the radio buttons change state but they do not fire any of the actions. Here's my code.
//Q1 frame code (AS2)
rbtnAListener = new Object();rbtnAListener.click = function(evt){ mc_EmptyContinue.attachMovie("btnContinue", "btn_Continue", 1); mc_EmptyContinue.btn_Continue.onRelease = function():Void {

im creating a character sheet and all i have to do is get the character to do a few things, im using Stan from american dad, so he draws his gun, salutes, and does this guns speech, only problem is. i can get him to salute by using the code
on(release){
gotoAndPlay("2");
}
this links fine, the salute is in a movieclip on frame 2 of the timeline, and the button is set to link to this.problem starts after the movieclip finishes playing, how to return to frame 1 on the main timeline, ive tried gotoAndStop("1") amongst other things (gotoAndStop ("Scene 1", 1)ive also tried frameLables too but that didnt work, though im not sure if i was doing that right to start with.Then im having a problem with my other buttons, even when set to on(release){gotoAndPlay("3");} they still go to frame 2 (with salute on)

Basically, I have a flash app with various frames, each frame contains a "help" button, which when clicked takes the user to one seperate frame with various informative instructions on it. The help button is like a universal tool incase the users need help.
Now, no matter what frame the user is on, if they click the help button, sure enough, it takes them to the "help" frame. The big problem I have, is that I cannot fathom a way to make the users RETURN to the exact frame they came from.
For instance, the user is viewing a frame in the app called "Question 2", they get stuck, they click on the "help" button, it takes them to the "help" page. After veiwing the instructions, they need to return to the question 2 frame, possibly by clicking a "back" button of some description. Likewise if they were on a frame called "Question 3" - they need to return to this frame if they click the help button.
In a nutshell, I need to create a button that takes the user back to the previous frame from the "help" frame, like a dynamic link back or something.

I'm not too acquainted with using loops. If you use a loop in one frame and then leave that frame, does the loop continue? This might be a strange question but I'm having some issues and I think they involve the use of a loop.

What happens when you add a MovieClip to the stage using addChild and then gotoAndStop to a different frame?Is the MovieClip automatically removed? Will it be there when you go back to the same frame?

I have a question about loading external data. When I had all my actionscript export to frame one, it would slow down the preloader and not show up until it was far into the progress bar animation. So I moved everything to frame 2. The problem with that is now my menus which are populated from an xml file are not there when the site starts to play. How can I get my xml data to load on frame one, but leave the .as fils to load in frame 2?

I have 5 overlapping tab buttons and when each is clicked, it calls to a specific frame. The tabs are assigned to a specific frame so that when the timeline jumps to the assigned frame, the tab clicked appears on top of the other tabs. My code below works, but only once. If I click a tab and then try to click a previous tab, nothing happens.
FYI: My 5 tab names are: rotating_globe, company_tab_mc, newproducts_tab_mc, applications_tab_mc and tradeshows_tab_mc
There's also a 'back_home_btn' that appears on the stage when user is not clicked on the 'rotating_globe' tab (the 'rotating_globe' tab is my default home button)
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
rotating_globe.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rotatingGlobeBtnHandler2);
company_tab_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, companyBtnHandler2);
newproducts_tab_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLI CK, newproductsBtnHandler2);

I just started using flash and Im hoping someone with more experience can help me out. When I add the stop code to frame one to stop the timeline on my homepage, the buttons Ive set up in my navigation bar do not work. But, if I do not have the stop code in the timeline, the buttons will work correctly. Without the stop code, though, obviously the whole timeline plays through and doesn't stop on the homepage, which is not desirable. So how do I stop the timeline on the homepage and still have my buttons work?

I have been trying to develop a drag and drop Mr. Potato Head type game for a couple of days now. I am new to AS3 and I have hit a roadblock that I was hoping someone out there could help me get through. My game has 3 separate menus (mouths, hats, and eyes).Each menu is a nested MC which has several dragable objects. Unfortunately, when I move to the next frame on the timeline the object I drug out resets itself and disappears. Is there any way to keep a dragable object on the stage once it has been placed there? I think my problem is more of a logic and structure issue with the way that I set up the game rather than an issue with actionscript.

Whenever I use ExternalInterface to call a Javascript function in Firefox, the Javascript successfully returns a value to Flash. However, in IE, I always get 'null' for the return.
I know Flash is successfully calling the JS because i have an alert in the JS function that is firing. It's just the return that is null.

Buttons in flex can be pressed with the space key, but a client would like to press enter instead of space. This can be achieved by programming each button, but it would be very time consuming. How to do this in the less amount of time?

I'm not sure exactly what's going on here (maybe I'm not understanding how the timeline executes?).
I have a game that has the menu in the first frame, the game in later frames. When the game is won, the user is able to click to return to the menu. Using trace(), I've found that the click reads, and it starts to execute the actions that have been written in the 1st frame. But, when it gets to the line that adds an event listener to a button on the stage using solo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,goSolo) (solo is the name of the button on the screen), it returns:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
The line executes just fine when the whole thing initializes, so I don't know why it's not working when it restarts. Is the code getting read before the stage is populating when I return the user to the main menu using gotoAndPlay(1) from the click listener? It doesn't make a difference if I use gotoAndStop(1). What's a good workaround?
Or is it because the button is in a layer lower than the actions? (I've always put my actions in the highest layer, and don't remember ever having this problem before). But why then would it still work at the very beginning but not with the restart?

I am rather new to actionscripting and am looking for a script or something that will automatically return to frame 1 after 5 minutes of inactivity and then reset the timer. It will be used on an interactive sign that the user can click through like a website but I want it to reset so when the next user uses it, they begin at the main page. I am using Actionscript 2, with CS3 on a Mac. I have tried different scripts that I have found on the net and can't get anything to work.

I have a movie clip with 15 frames. Each frame has buttons on it (mc's)... I was going to put the actions on the main timeline/stage and navigate within the MC from the main timeline. Is that possible? I can get the buttons on the first frame of the MC to work, but I can't seem to figure out how to target/make the buttons on the other frames work? I was thinking I could identify the path of the MC with the frame labels, but that doesn't seem to work. like: _root.RMChanger.(frame label).buttonOnFrame = function
I have to move a text box in and out over the MC backgrounds on the main stage... which is why I was thinking to do it this way? I've been switching back and forth bwtween AS2.0 and 3.0

I am having trouble with a job I am doing at the moment which has an mc with buttons within it. I want it so that when I roll over the mc it tweens from a small version to a larger version, and on this mc there are some buttons. At the moment I can get the mc to move but the buttons remain inactive and also the rollover states on the buttons don't work. I have attached a simpler version of what I am trying to do to this post.

I have a short Flash movie I made in Flash CS4. I figured out how to make the movie stop at the end so it won't loop forever, and I have a Replay button that appears and restarts the movie. But my directives have changed and I now need to know how to make the movie -- when it ends -- automatically go to and stop on frame 22 of the movie and also have that Replay button then appear when it does stop on frame 22. (Frame 1 through 22 is a gradual fade-in to the first scene, that's why I don't want the replay button to appear on frame 1).

I have tried several suggestions on this forum to resolve my issue, but it is obvious to me I am missing something because I am a NOVICE Flash developer. I have everything working in my Flash file EXCEPT I want to use this code to play a .swf file. When the swf file is done playing OR the user clicks the return to Main Menu button¯, they return to frame 1.[code]The .swf file plays and when I click Return to the Main Menu button, only certain items display from frame 1. The .swf file is still loaded hiding the items that should display on frame 1. I have attached a screen shot of what happens when I click the "Return to Main Menu" button.

My swf/exe has two buttons: Song and Story. It's a childrens book with two MP3s embedded.When you click on the buttons it goes to the respective "frame label" and plays the movie clips instantiated on the stage named "storybookSong" and "storybook".What I want to do, is when either the storybookSong or storybook movie clips finish I'd like the movie to return to the first parent frame of the movie, labeled "Home".Here's the code that I've tried.
Code:
stop();
function moleNav(event:MouseEvent):void{[code]....
This is located on the first frame of the swf/exe (outside the mcs themselves).

I'm finishing a flash application. You can see the app here:
https://apps.facebook.com/wacky-winter-woolies/
The app sends an FQL query to get the user's albums, generates thumbnails based on cover_object_id. This part works fine. After clicking on an album the app loads photo thumbnails in the same fashion. We've just discovered that although it usually works, for some people and some photos instead of a thumbnail facebook returns the following error:
{"error": {"message": "Unsupported get request.","type":
"GraphMethodException"}} picture
The photo thumbnail request URL:[url]....The query used to generate the list of photos in an album:
var fql:String = "SELECT object_id, aid FROM photo WHERE aid = ""+aid+""";
permissions for the app:
'permissions' => 'publish_stream,user_photos,friends_photos'
Essentially some photos return an error. The object_id of the photo is valid as it's pulled right from the FQL result - here is an example of an actual request that returns the error, complete with token https:/[url].......
Edit2: The above approach didn't work, for some reason. Some pictures would still result in an error. Fortunately the FQL tables had properties like "src_small" and "src_large" which return the direct link to the photos. Even though graph supposedly allows to retrieve any image using it's API I had to fall back to the src results from the query - I guess that was a patch of sorts for situations like this.

I'm having problems with the flash buttons on the flash website i made for a client. or some reason the buttons in the top and bottom menu work on some people's computers but on some they don't. I don't know what to do, i had this code for all the buttons,
on (release) {
getURL("http://legaldepartment.ca/","_self");
}
and they worked on my computer but on others the buttons didn't work at all so i added this code to each button also
on(press) {
_root.getURL("http://legaldepartment.ca/","self");
}
and they still work on my computer and some other people's computers but still some they don't work on some people's computers.
