ActionScript 3.0 :: Buttons Don't Work If United Into MovieClip
Sep 16, 2010
I have an animated image collage with 10+ images. It is brought in into the main stage as a united mc. Each image has to act as a button which links to a labeled section in the flash file. I understand that I can not write AS3 on the main stage as I am unable to specify the instance name for each button since they all are brought as a united mc and only that mc is available as an instance.So I go inside the mc to the level where I can select each button, give the button an instance name and then put the following code on the AS3 layer inside the mc level where all the images/buttons are assembled as a collage:[code]I started with just one parent and kept on adding them up to see if it will change the result, but unfortunately all the same "Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."It is still under the development and will take a min to load then wait for the image collage to appear. Those images are the ones which i would like to make into buttons.

I'm making a flash CS4 presentation and I just made a navbar movieclip (grey rectangle) and put 6 buttons on each layer inside of it. I put this movieclip (navbar) on the main movie timeline in a layer. I keep getting this error (1120 access of undefined property) and the buttons simply don't respond to the main timeline. It used to work fine when the buttons were on the main timeline. Should I make a parent child reference ?
For example, this code for the pause button won't work:
pause_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, stopButtonClick);
function stopButtonClick (e:MouseEvent):void {
this.stop();
}

I've been using this site for a while as I'm taking flash lessons in my college and right now I am building a portfolio website and am in need of help, so I've decided to come to you for some light. My problem is in the portfolio I'm creating in AS2 I have the photo and video galleries in form of a click'n'drag movie clip that slides sideways. So far, so good. However, when I add buttons to my mc (and that includes the ones in all my video players as well), they don't work at all. I think it has something to do with the function I'm using. Is there any solution for allowing buttons to be clickable? This is the code I'm using directly in the mc:

I'm fairly new to actionscript and could use some help. I'm using Flash CS3, AS 1/2.I have made a musicplayer that is inside a movieclip, but when i pull the movieclip onto the stage the buttons inside the movieclip stop working.Inside the Movieclip:I have the music start on frame 1 and then gotoAndPlay at frame 3.Frame 3 has a stop();, a button that stops the music and gotoAndPlay "play".Frame 2 has a stop();, a button that plays the music and gotoAndPlay "stop".it all works fine on its own, but as soon as i stick it on the stage it stops working.Labels have been set up fine, it works when i use 'Test Scene'. I've hardcoded all the buttons to work on the timeline frames and not on the buttons.[code]

How do you get buttons to work correctly inside the Movieclip? When i click on my buttons they show what is supposed to be shown for a split second then goes to the nested frame 1. my website is: [URL] If you go to the Interest button, you'll see what i mean. the clip loads up fine but when u click on the Adobe cd it won't work correctly. The images flash on screen then disappear.

I am trying to make an index page with buttons for a photography site.the entire page is built in flash so far. I have created a drop down menu that is a Movieclip with 5 buttons.I can not seem to assign an external web page to each buttons that are under the movie clip drop down menu. Is this a possible? The Movie clip is run by mouse-over the word "studio Gallery" button. This drops down the 5 gallerbuttons (Portrait, children, wedding, Artistic Babies, etc...). In Flash 8 Pro I know I can assign an external web page named children on the main page but how do I assign these to the buttons in the drop down once the movieclip is made. Is this where I need to use folders with extra layers in the folder to make it 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'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.

I've used flash like twice in my life, but I think I know how to make a button. I'm working on my artists portfolio online and I'm making it in flash. Basically it has buttons which link to photos and videos. There are 5 videos and 5 photographs. Now the problem is when you click on a button and watch a video buttons 1-3 of photos don't work. But the 4 and 5 buttons for photos work. It seems to only happen after you watch a video. The same actionscript is on all of them GotoandStop is the command I'm using for the photos and GotoandPlay for the videos.

I had all of my code working, then I moved all of my main movie timeline into a movie clip (body_mc)Main movie now has 1 frame.My body_mc has a navigation menu, one button is portfolio_bttn which takes you to that frame label. It persists through all frames of body_mc. This button works fine.I seem to have everything working except 4 buttons on the first frame of body_mc. They should all perform exactly the same function as portfolio_bttn. They exist only in frame 1.They work the first time you click one (any one).Navigate back to frame one of body_mc and all 4 buttons will no longer work. What am I doing wrong??here is my code which is in frame 1 of the main timeline
Code:
body_mc.portfolio_bttn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickPortfolio);
function clickPortfolio(event:MouseEvent):void {

I am new to Flash and am having an issue with a project I'm working on. I have buttons that are in frame 1-150. I wrote the code in frame 1, but expanded the box to frame 150 so they will work. However latter in the project I want to be able to gotoAndStop frame 150, but when I do the buttons no longer work. I changed it to gotoAndStop frame 1 and they work. Can you not link to buttons in the middle of the "timeline".

I'm trying to convert an AS2 file over to AS3 and I can't get the buttons to work. They do not want to gotoAndStop at certain frames in specific scenes. In the following code, if you click on a button it works fine, but when you attemp to change to a new Scene, it breaks and both buttons won't work thereafter. I've tried everything for almost a day now and cannot get this to work and cannot find any reference to the problem. Is AS3 buttons not able to go to a new scene as it suggests in the Help files?:

i'm just learning Flash at a local college and my instruction is not being very helpful, so i'm hoping someone can help me. I need to insert a "start" button that will start the movie. I have the button on a layer called "startButton". I inserted another layer and called it "stopMovie" - this is where I add a keyframe on the 1st from and the last frame and then add a actionscript to stopmovie on both frames.
The problem I'm having is when I select the 1st frame of the layer where the button is localed, I go to the actionscript window/global fuction/timeline and then I want to select "play" but the system has it grayed out so I can't select it. My only option is "goto". But that doesn't work. All I want the funtion to do is start playing when I click on the start button.

I have a cascading/collapse flash menu.There are about 7 layers, each one of them a different page that slides and covers the other layers.for some reason, all the buttons on the bottom layer (layer 1 for instance) can be clicked on even when the 6 other layers are ontop of it with their own links and buttons. How can I make it so all my buttons don't shine through all the other layers. I can't slide the layer away to get ride of the buttons because it is still partially viewed when the other layers are ontop of it. I can't figure out why the buttons in layer one can be clicked in layer 2 when its on top of layer 1, or layer 3,4,5,6,7 when they are on top of layer 1-i assumed these layers would block out the buttons and links in the first layer(which is on the way bottom)

I'm designing a website for a Reiki/Spiritual advisor thingymebob and I have a menu on the left of my page of buttons and when I click a button it displays the contents of the button on the stage. Easy enough, so to speak, but the code I have written should send the viewer to a certain frame in the timeline where the tween begins.
When I play the swf and click the home button it works perfectly on the first page and if I go down the menu and click every other button in order they too all work fine, but as soon as I start clicking any other button randomly there is no tween effect and it seems to send me to the wrong page(!) plus straight to the clear text on the stage without any fading in tween. As though it has just gone to the last frame of the tween.
Here's the code below. I've asked the spiritual advisor for guidance and he sent me here, so please prove him right - ha ha!
stop();
myHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,
mouseDownHandler2);
function mouseDownHandler2(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(281);

I'm creating a menu bar that is a movieclip and inside the movieclip consists of the buttons.Now the menu bar is twice as WIDE as what is visible on the stage.The only part you can see is the text 'menu' on a bar.Then when the mouse hits the bar, it flies across the screen to the otherside of the bar where the menu buttons are.Now the menu bar does its animation over 20 frames - the last frame being the frame where the menu buttons are now visible.
On the last frame i have the 'stop;' code
On the first frame I have this code:
Code:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){

Attached is an FLA with an image that moves onto the stage. There are 5 button MCs which are supposed to move the image left/right. Works great, only if the SWF is published for Version 6. However, published as a version 8 swf, the buttons no longer create motion. On a different thread, somebody published it as a version 8 and 9 SWF and said the buttons worked perfectly..FYI, clicking into the , imageStrip_mc is an Actions layer, as well as the Actions on the root timeline.I am using Mac OS X Flash CS 3 - v 9.0 - using ActionScript 2

addChildAt(light, 1);
The SWF loads but the buttons inside it do not show. How do I load the swf and have the buttons inside it work? Anything inside of the external swf that is a movie clip works, but I'd like to be able to keep the up/down/over and hit features of the button.
