I want to have a hidden menu so I have put some buttons in a MC and added it to the main stage but I am having trouble controlling the stage with the buttons in the movie clip. I think I need to reference the main stage some how... parent or something like that but I'm not really sure and don't know where to put the code.
Code:
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

i have a UILoader that loads an image from an xml list when you click its thumbnail ( in its thumbnails mc on mainstage aswell) thing is, i have another UILoader on the layer above that loads in a swf ( a slideshow that fades in and out the pictures when they change to the next, with all the coding on frame 1, frame 2 only has a stop and some code for when the mouse is idle for 5 secs it goes back to frame 1) so when you go to "portraits" it takes you to frame "x" where the slideshow ( loaded external swf ) starts playing automaticly right, if i click any thumbnail the slideshow goes to frame 2 ( wich is perfect and the mouse idle thing i wanted works great ) the ONLY THING IS
after the slideshow runs by default for the first time ( i enter the category portraits ) and i click any thumbnail ( moving slideshow swf to frame 2 enabling mouse idle event ) and the mouse is idle ( so it does the event and starts playing the slideshow again ( goes back to frame 1 ) ) I CANT MAKE THE UILOADER OF THE THUMBS IMAGE TO DISSAPPEAR!

I have created an XML driven Drop Down menu using the kirupa tut by Senocular found here. I am trying to figure out how to get the submenus to push the rest of the main menu down on rollover kind of like this. Not sure where to start to get the AS to get the button created fromt he XML nodes to move down.I haven't changed the code found int he tut too much and the menu works fine except that the rollovers just go over the main menu.
View 1 RepliesI am looking at creating a menu with three movieclip buttons on a main menu. I want to keep these buttons on the top of the screen at all times. I am opening different swf's and I want to make sure that the buttons are still showing. I know there is something with changing or swapping the depth of the movie clip when it loads the new swf's in, but I have not found anything that is seeming to work.
View 4 RepliesI'm working on a web menu, that has sub menus. I'm currently trying to get the sub menu to jump back to the main menu if the mouse is no longer inside the submenu zone.
It works if I move the mouse quickly to another part of the Flash area, but if I quickly move it out of the Flash area and onto say the html document, it doesn't update fast enough, and thus still thinks the mouse is hovering over it.
I know I can simply update the movie frame rate which does work, but I was wondering if there is any way to get Flash to check to see if the mouse IS ACTUALLY ACTIVE over it, and if not close the submenu?
Basically, I have a button and on click it displays a menu. I want to click that menu a second time and the menu closes. Currently, every time you click the button, the menu reopens. I pasted the Flex livedoc example below. If you click the button, the menu keeps reopening.Now, I rigged it up by setting a var to open and closed, so when clicking the button it does a check. However, if you click away from the screen, the HIDE event gets dispatched, and the menu closes. This messed up the open close var being set.
How could I make this Flex example below show the menu on button click, and then on a second button click, it closes the menu? Take into affect that if you click away from the menu, it closes it.Also, I played around with the MOUSE_DOWN_OUTSIDE event for the button and set the preventDefault, and the FlexMouseEvent event.cancelable is set to false.Changing to a PopUpMenuButton is not an option. I have to much skinning involved.Here is the Flex example:

View 1 RepliesI have designed a menu that When you mouse over it, a custom cursor appears. When you mouse down it disappears and when you mouse up it returns. If you happen to mouse down and then drag the mouse off of the menu (whilst in mouse down) and then mouse up outside the menu, the custom cursor disappears. All good. The only issue is: If you happen to mouse down on the menu and then drag the mouse off of the menu AND off of the stage, i.e the SWF (whilst in mouse down) and then mouse up completely off of the stage, the custom cursor appears at the point it left the menu. I have tried to fix this using MOUSE_LEAVE but this dosnt work when the mouse button is pressed down. I have attached an FLA, SWF and the AS below.

stop();

i know i've done this before! i have a swf. 4 labels. a stopat frame 1. i embedd this into my main timeline. i have 4 butons inan MC in my main project, going to specific labels in my maintimeline, where i have the following code, attempting to load theswf and jump to that label:
this.container_shell.loadMovie("interact01.swf");
interact_shellb.gotoAndStop("label1");
its not working. the swf loads, but i can't jump to thelabel
ive figured out timeline transitions, and timeline based preloaders......so now i have a problem.....i have my MAIN swf file that i load all my pages in externally ( external swf files )....when i click a button ( for example ) my "about us" button - the transition begins....i have a keyframe with the following code on frame 40 ( inside a movie clip named "pages" in my main SWF where all the buttons/transitions are ):
var Xpos:Number=0;
var Ypos:Number=0;
var swf:MovieClip;
[code].....
I will try to explain this as easily as i can.
I have a holder swf called holder.swf
Within this i am loading in external swf files. Each externally loaded swf is put into each frame of the loader page.
I have created a string to navigate through the timeline when either next_btn or prev_btn is pressed.
The probelm im having is that in one swf file there are two buttons which determin which way the story goes (eg. with pressing yes_btn goes to section2 with no_btn go to section2a)
How do i communicate from this externally loaded swf to affect the main timeline of my holder swf.
I'm trying to control my main.swf through a loaded .swf.
My goals are. 1. load the external swf into main.swf and have a movieclip in the external swf play. (the movie clip in the external swf should play without any code, however, when the external swf loads, the movie clip goes to the last frame of itself for some reason)
2. I have an "X" button on the loaded.swf itself that should dismiss the loaded swf and cause my navigation on my main.swf to reappear.
Here is my loader code in main.swf:
Code:
var _urlx:Loader = new Loader();
_urlx.load(new URLRequest("loadBlank.swf"));
var _url1:Loader = new Loader();
[Code]....
As of now, my navigation in main.swf does reappear when the "X" in the loaded.swf is clicked, but I need a way to unload the currently loaded swf when the "X" button is clicked..
I've tried remove child, checking to see if the loaded child is not null, but that didn't work either...
I built my website on the main timeline with a fade in animation...stop(on the page) and a fade out animation. At the end of this fade out animation i would like it to call upon a variable to know what page to go to next.I am trying to tell my main timeline to gotoAndPlay a frame based off of a variable within a movieclip(about_mc this movieclip contains another movieclip which acts like a button(factsheet_mc)) that i have set in my main timeline.I set the variable with:
var buttonFrame; in the first frame of the main timeline
then within my movieclip i have another movieclip which tells my main timeline to play the out fade and remember a variable:
this.onRelease = function(){ --------"this" meaning the movieclip factsheet_mc------------ [code]........
I have a mc with thumbnail images ('thumbs_mc'). Within 'thumbs_mc,' I have mc instances that change alpha on rollon and rollout. When clicked, these mc instances also control the main timeline. That's all good and working fine.Now, however, I want something over each thumbnail to indicate which of them is currently active. (I thought about using the same mc for both the mouseover and current marker, but it's problematic since rolling off the mc sets the alpha to 0, destroying the current marker.)
So I figured that I could use another mc (one instance is 'mark_red_btn') and just control its visibility, based upon the where the playhead is in the main timeline.This is what I have in the first frame of the mc that contains the thumbs the mouseovers and the current markers:
mark_red_btn._visible=false;
if (_root._currentframe == "red") {
mark_red_btn._visible = true;
};
Unfortunately, it is not working. The mc 'mark_red_btn' stays invisible even when the main timeline is on the frame labeled 'red.'
I am simply trying to tell my main timeline to go to the next frame when a movie clip reaches the end of its timeline (using AS3). Here is what I have which does not work.
Code:
MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay(nextFrame);
I'm an ActionScript noob so I'll try as best I can to explain what I need to do. I have a project where I need to have a floating window that controls a main timeline. The idea is to have a floating window that can be seen only by the operator. This window would control the main timeline or content on a separate screen viewable to the audience. So I'll be using a dual monitor setup. The controller window would have about 40 buttons on it that would turn items on or off on the main timeline. This seems like a relatively simple thing to do but being the noob that I am I'm not sure how to go about it. I essentially need one flash file, the controller, to talk to the other one, the content.

here is a description of the flash movie.I have a map of the world on the main timeline that is a movie. The map is compiled of buttons that navigate the main timeline to named frames. -Ex. If you click Africa from the world map you are taken to the �Africa� named frame on the main timeline. This works perfectly.At the Africa named frame on the main timeline I have replaced the world map with a large map of just Africa. This large Africa map is a movieclip instance that has script on it to be draggable. This works perfectly.
The Africa map contains little movieclips that blink. I would like the little blinking movieclips to control the alpha of a movieclip (when rolled over/off) that is on the main stage and timeline.
What code would I need to take the Slider Component and have it control the Main timeline? I have created a presentation with audio embedded and images coming up and moving as the person is talking about it. I need a way to scrub back and forth down the timeline.

View 3 RepliesI have a main SWF that is comprised of scenes. I have buttons that go between those scenes at the bottom (prevscene, nextscene). This works well. On the last scene, I have it loadmovienum and it loads an SWF that has a few scenes in it. It also has the buttons to go between those scenes, which works well.My issue is the first scene of that SWF that is loaded in the main SWF needs to have a button that will send the main SWF to the previous scene in it. Of, conversely, I need the buttons in the main SWF to tell the loaded SWF to go nextscene/prevscene.
