ActionScript 3.0 :: Buttons Still Clickable Behind Movieclip
Nov 30, 2009
I am loading movieclips on top of one another, and that part is working just fine. Each movieclip loads another *.swf file that fills the entire stage.
However, the buttons for the previous or "parent" movieclip are still clickable through the "child" movieclip. I still get the hand cursor and complete functionality for buttons that arent visible in the current movieclip...but actually reside on the parent. It is causing me a great deal of problem with event handling as some buttons are directly on top of the buttons for the parent and it's triggering unintended events because I can click "through" the currently visible clip.
I have tried button.enabled = false; but that doesn't seem to do the trick. Is there something I'm missing in the way I'm loading the movieclips? [code]...

I have a menu movieclip that pops out from the right hand side on rollover. On this menu there are four buttons for menu navigation options. However these buttons are not working properly. I feel that the menu movieclip is taking precedence over the buttons because the whole menu is than clickable, while the buttons show up, however are not clickable. Here's what I have so far:

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:

Here're my 2 problems: 1-I did a menu moving in 3d following my mouse movement. But i would like it to have a limit of rotation on the left and on the right, cause i don't the user to see the back of the image (the image is rotating 360 right now, i would like it to rotate maybe like 90 or less). Here's the code i am using:
[Code]...
2-My second question is about my menu buttons. I want them to be on lower layer cause it help creating my 3d scene cause sometimes it is a part cover by my image on the top. But the buttons stop to be clickable when they are behind something (even a part behind). I want them to be clickable at all time. The strange thing is i checked out in the forum and a lot of people have the opposite problem... their buttons still work. How can i make mine clickable?

I have a 2 frame flash movie where the first has a group of names that are clickable hidden by actionscript. You need to click directors, then the names come up and then click the name to go to the 2nd frame of the move which brings in their information dynamically. This has a close button that takes you back to the first frame. My problem is that when going back to the first frame after closing the CV data, it still shows the area where those names were listed as clickable even though they aren't visible.
The code on frame 1 that I think is relative is below. The movie clip that houses the clickable name list is called bodBorderMC and it's loading the directors so I'm not sure if directors in the code works with that.

I have a TileList with movie clips as elements. The MCs contain buttons, but I can't click on the buttons and other elements because TileList is "over" them. How to make buttons clickable? Also, I don't need highlighting in the TileList on rollover and click. How to remove this effect?

I am trying to make a brain anatomy game in flash CS3 and I am having some difficulty getting the buttons to respect certain proportions. Allow me to elaborate.
[URL]
And then I bring it into photoshop and make a different layer for each different structure (in the screenshot I only did it for one structure but you get the point)
[URL]
Now what I would like to do is import my .psd file into flash and make every layer a different button. But I don't know of a way to view layers of a .psd file in flash. But here's the bigger problem. As you can see, it makes the "clickable" area for the button a rectangle shape.
[URL]
Whereas I would like for it to be the shape of the specific structure. If the clickable area is a rectangle then there is an overlap onto other structures which is not at all ideal. Especially when I get into smaller structures. What I want is for the button to be exactly like the layer in photoshop.

I'm ultimately trying to create a flash page for an html website that has a brief five-second animation during which 3 buttons fade in (buttons then become clickable after the animation is over).
The animation part is done. Right now, I am trying to get my movie to stop and hold on the last frame, where I want to add the 3 buttons that the user can click on to take them to one 3 different html pages of my website.
All instructions that I've found online have said to create a new layer for actions, insert a keyframe on the last frame of the movie, and add stop(); in the actionscript window. However, when I have the keyframe selected, my actionscript window says "current selection cannot have actions applied to it".
I definitely don't have any objects selected, just the keyframe.
You can see that I have the frame (a keyframe) that I want to insert a "stop" action selected in the Actions layer. This is the first frame in which the buttons exist, and from what I can tell, I need the clip to stop on the first frame of my buttons, after my animation is over. (Still figuring out how to get the buttons to work, but will address that later...)

I am building a fake Windows looking OS in Flash for a project of mine. So far I have a clickable start menu, and I want the categories inside the start menu to be able to be rolled over like in Windows and open up to clickable links. Just click the start menu in Windows, and then scroll into "All Programs". I want to be able to have scrolling buttons like that. I am using Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Actionscript 3.0. I've only ever used Flash in the past to make cartoons and things of that nature.

I made a help screen that pops up when the user clicks the "help" button. To accomplish this, I place the movieclip on the top layer, and set it's _visible to false. When the user clicks "help", visible = true, and BAM, help screen appears. The problem is that all of the buttons underneath my helpPage movieclip are still clickable.

I am trying to make a search interface that behaves much like searching in iTunes and Spotlight in that the list is updated instantly as the user types something in the search field. However, I would like the lines that result to be clickable and to fire actions inside flash (as opposed to launching an URL). Is this possible?I've gotten the basics down. Here's what it looks like and here's the source FLA file. The results are displayed as tabbed lines of text in a single text field. Is there any way to make these lines clickable without replacing this way of displaying the results with multiple, duplicated button/mc-intances?

I have created a webpage with a html menu and flash embedded underneath it.The problem is, the flash movie is in an index layer of -1 and the html menu needs to sit above it in index 1 for example.If the menu sits behind the flash the buttons are inactive, if the flash sits behind the html menu, its buttons are inactive.I have a div layer for the html menu and it not as high as the flash movie, but it doesn't make a difference, its seen as sitting behind and therefore the buttons don't work.

I have a movieclip which works as a button. But I also have a movieclip which doesn't preform anything when you click it. The button-movieclip is behind the other movieclip. I want to be able to click the button even if I click the movieclip. But since the movieclip is in front of my button, I can't.

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){

I've created a movieclip of a trashcan, which falls over and 6 items fall out of it. I want each of these items to become a button, which will jump to a different point on the timeline.
The movieclip is all working fine, and the buttons appear to be fine. The problem is when I publish the flash, the movieclip resets each time I hover over one of the buttons, so i get an endless loop of this trashcan falling over and the items falling out.

I have a movie clip with hit zones over buttons. It looks like a cam corder and when you roll over them a thumb moves to that button and when you click. The thumb presses on the button. That all works great. I want to put buttons in the main scene over top of these that will change things on the screen when you click it. And get urls of the videos that I have on my website. But when I put the hitzones over other hitzones the ones in back dont work. Is there a way to make them both work or am I going to have to make everything contained in the movie clip? So in short can I have two buttons on top of each other that do two different things?
