First off, I have a movie clip called mc_instructions. Inside the movie clip, about 940 frames into it, a button appears called btn_ready. I need this button to bring me to frame 3 on the main timeline when clicked on.
View 1 RepliesI have a movieclip inside the OVER on a button, right now I have an animation that causes the button's brightness increases from 0 to 10 over 24 frames and then come stops because of a stop (). I now intend to add an animation after stop () which gets the button's brightness goes back to 0 again when you no longer hold the mouse over the button. I would therefore like to make some kind of mouseOut event that allows Movieclip go to the next frame. I have tried to insert a target path but it seems that it can't reach the movie clip inside the button.
View 1 RepliesI created a Movie Clip with a button inside it. The Movie Clip contains simple animation within its timeline. I dragged the Movie Clip to the main stage and tested the movie/ My goal is to have the button start the animation inside the Movie Clips timeline but it is not working.The Movie Clip instance is named 'film_mc' and the button inside it is named 'first_btn.' The frame is labeled 'one'. I tried these two Action Scripts that I put on the main timeline. Where am I going wrong?
film_mc.first_btn.onRelease=function(){
film_mc.gotoAndPlay("one");
}

I have a button inside a movieclip, to which I would like to apply a rollover function. When rolled over, this button (inside MOVIECLIP 1) would make (MOVIECLIP 2) jump to second frame. I'm using Flash 8.This is turning onto a real headache for me, since i've searched every single forum and thread concerning this matter, and nothing seems to work.
View 7 RepliesI've created a movieclip with buttons inside that I want to use to navigate to different scenes on the main timeline. I have created a function() that loads the button movieclip into the main timeline, but if I try to write a function() to activate the button and move the main timeline to a different scene/frame label it doesn't work. I have tried various things:
navBack_mc.book_btn.onRelease = function() {
_root.gotoAndStop("book1");
}
I put the code above on the main timeline. It doesn't seem to work. Basically, I could put just an on(release) handler on the buttons, but I wanted to try to keeping all the AS in one place if I can.

View 1 RepliesI have a stop on my main timeline. At the stop I have a movieclip play. In the movieclip I will have a video play. After the video plays I have a button for the user to continue play until the end of the movieclip. Once the movieclip is done I want to resume back to a specific frame in my main timeline.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to do a simple thing in theory. In my main timeline I have a series of images with frame labels for each. In a movieclip (with its own labels) below the images, I have two panels of butttons that flop back and forth (to save space). The idea is to simply have the maintime play the frame specified by the corresponding button in the movieclip. [code]...

View 1 RepliesI am trying to use a button to control a timelineie if you click once you gotoAndPlay frame 2, the next time you click the same button you will gotoAndPlay frame 22, then gotoAndPlay 44 etc.I have spent the last couple of days trawling forums and a variable seems to be the answer, but I am not sure if this is correct.

I'm creating a schedule page which has a calendar and a timeline (a graphic timeline not the flash timeline) that need to interact. When someone clicks on a calender date I want it to jump to that date on the graphic timeline. In order to cut file size down I split the calendar and the graphic timeline into two different files which are both loaded into a master page. The calendar is on level 1 and the graphic timeline is on level 5.
Sorry if this question is confusing, I'll try not to mix up the graphic timeline and the flash timeline, but -- Is it possible for a button in the calender file to trigger the graphic timeline file to change frames? What would that code look like? I tried on(release){level5.gotoAndStop(2)}, but that doesn't seem to do anything and I don't get any error.This might be really simple or impossible for all I know..
I am having a problem using an if statement in a button. What I want to do is go to a frame dependent on which frame we are already on. For example if I am on frame one and I press the button the first time it will take me to frame five, if I then press the button a second time the actionscript detects we are on frame five so goes to frame ten and so on.
ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(5);
if (currentframe == 5) {
gotoAndPlay(10);
} else if (currentframe == 10) {
gotoAndPlay(15);
} else if (currentframe == 15) {
gotoAndPlay(20);
}}
When I first press the button it takes me to frame 5, the second time I press it goes to frame 10, but when I press after that instead of going to 15 it takes me back to 5 then 10 then 5 then 10 etc and is stuck between going from 5 to 10 and back again.
I have 2 scene, using button to swap in between file. If the button is in maintime line i can swap in between but my button is inside a movieclip in scene_1. After I click it reload the scene_1 and my script on button is:

Is it using
_root or

I have a thumbs_mc with thumbnail images. Within thumbs_mc, I have a transparent overlay_mc that functions as a button. Mouse over the overlay_mc and the alpha chages so there is a tint over that particular thumbnailWhen overlay_mc is clicked, the main timeline goes to a particular frame label.What I need to do is have the position of the playhead on the main timeline also determine the alpha of the overlay_mc so the viewer knows which thumbnail is playing.

I'm currently attempting at a little flash project where i have a movieclip travelling vertically downwards along the Y axis. When it hits a certain axis (in this instance, 500), I have a class written so that the movieclip then travels back upwards along the Y axis. I want the movieclip to change frame when it hits 500 along the Y axis (it's a movieclip of a bird flying towards the sea, and as it flies back up i want a fish in it's claws). I've tried looking into a method to do this, but nothing seems to work! I tried adding to following line of code into my class -
{
if(_y > 500){
enemy1.gotoAndStop (2);
}
but it gives me an error stating my movieclip is not a static attribute, and i have no idea what that means. I've tried putting a variation of this code into frame 1 of the movieclip itself, but it just skips straight to frame 2 without taking notice of any code relating to the Y axis.
This is the code for my cycle function on the main timeline:
var intID:Number;
var frame:Number = 0;
function playOn(){
if(frame == 2){
[Code].....
I want my button to clear the function and then stop where it is. Shouldn't this work?
on (release) {
_root.clearInterval(intID);
_root.stop();
}
I have a basic xml driven portfolio. The xml file holds the path to the portfolio pieces (external .swfs). I have a main navigation that moves from project to project and a subnavigation to view individual pages of that project.The subnav is where I have the problem, I simply want to call gotoAndPlay("framelabel") of the designated mc. It seems that you can no longer call to the timeline of child movieclips as you could with AS 2. I've found some examples Except the examples discuss access of nested movieclips on the stage with assigned instance names. But the problem I'm facing is that I have each item pulled in via the loader Class then the objects are pushed into an array and my subnav needs to access them dynamically via array notation.something like this:
PHP Code:
public function loadMe(){
//var l:Loader = new Loader();
