I have a simple button and I was wondering if it is possible to give it a hit space? what it is doing is making the whole movieClip the hit space when I actually only want a certain area of the movieClip active (but still show all the movieClip)

View 2 Repliesi am trying to create an animated button, using a Movie Clip.
1. I create a Rectangle with a fill.
2. I convert it to a Symbol (Movie)3. Double Click on the graphic to create it's on Timeline.4. Why do i then need to convert to a symbol again?It will not animate unless i convert that timeline button again.
Draw a rectangle using the rectangle tool; select the text tool and create a text box inside of the rectangle, and type in BEGIN; make sure it fits inside the rectangle; select entire image by left clicking then dragging over it; convert to symbol button.
Then, I add in the code of going to keyframe 4 when released (which works fine). But when I test it out and mouse over the button, I can still select the text which gives me like barely any space where I can click the button to go to keyframe 4. This is reeaaallly annoying me. How can I fix this?
I've created a simple animation (falling snowflakes with some text that pops in and out) and I wanted to create a button that would replay it at the user's command. I've searched everywhere for the code or how to do this, but I've found nothing of relevance.

I have created my four layers for the button, but i am new to flash and i am not sure where to go from there.
I'm trying to make a "next track" button. "T" is meant to be track number, and every time they click this button, I wanted "T" to increase by one until T>4 where I need it to go back to T=1 (I've only got 4 tracks). Then, I want, depending on what "T" equals, for it to start playing Track"T" and stop playing previous track. I also want the track playing to be looping continuously. At the moment, everything is muted, until I press the button; where it then plays all four tracks at once. I also have a problem with the mute button, but I've got a strong feeling both are of the same reason. I think my problem is that it does not know what "T" equals to begin with so it accepts all if statements; playing all tracks. But I'm new to Flash (my second project) so I'm not sure.
on (release){
stopAllSounds();
T =T+1
if (T>4){
T=1
} if (T = 1){
_root.snd1.start(0, 100);

I'm really new to flash, with my background mainly in C++ and Java. But what I'm wanting to do is create a 5x5 button matrix to make a game.I've tried using the visual style of drawing the button and what not, but I really don't like it. I'd like to have like an array of button of object where I can track things like click count for each object. Is this possible with action script?
View 41 RepliesI am creating a survey in flash to survey people's opinion about the temperature in a building. What I am hoping to do is have a scale which the surveyee can click on (see attached image) with 5 options from Too warm, warm, just right, cool, and too cold, and record where on the scale they click.
For example, if "Just Right" were correlated to an answer of 3 and "Warm" was correlated to an answer of 2, and a user were to click halfway between the two, I would want the recorded value to be 2.5. If they click closer to "Just Right" I want the recoded answer to be 2.8, etc.
It seems that the quick and dirty way I can think of doing this is to create a serious of invisible buttons over my scale which can then tell me where they click, but then I am limited in the granularity of the answer and it would just be a pain to create that many buttons.
I work in Flash CS3, AS3.I've created a button that links to another webpage by using this code (the code is added to a separate layer):
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
steud.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
[code]....
It works just fine, but the problem is that I want to add more buttons (and links) to it, and thats where I get stuck. When I try just adding a new layer and adding the code there, everything stops working. I've also tried copy/pasting the code beneath the first one, with no results.
I don't use Flash that much so the question may sound simple, but how do I pause audio in a timeline? I have added the audio, play and stop button. When I test it works fine, but I can't figure out how to add the pause button, or the play/pause button.

View 5 RepliesI am creating a button component in AS3, the idea of this button is that you can set its parameters to the name of movie clips you want to use as its images (mouse up/over/down etc).So basically it's a button that you can easily change the appearance of, and this would be reflected in the preview on the stage. I made this component in AS2 and it worked very well and was very useful.
However there is a problem with this component in AS3 - When I create an instance of my button component and try to set images for it (remember these are the names of movie clips in the library which have been exported for actionscript), the preview of the button component does not show the images. When I compile the SWF the button component does show the images ok though.
When my button component redraws itself, it looks at it's parameters and calls getDefinitionByName to create an instance of the correct movieclip. I am guessing that the problem occurs because the movieclip I am trying to instantiate is not in the component's library, it is in the library of the project I am using the button in, so maybe the component doesnt know what that movieclip is?
But it's odd because when I compile/publish the SWF it works, like I said, it's just the preview of the component that doesnt work, and that's kind of the point, being able to get a preview of the button so it can be positioned and sized correctly.
I know I could get it to work by putting the movieclips I want to use for the button into the button component's library, but that again defeats the purpose of this component.
I am trying to make an effect on a button that when I mouse over it, it keeps jumping up and down smoothly and when mouse out it stops. I tried this but the result was really bad:

One of my webpages has a scrolling text box. When printing, the print only shows the text visible on the screen at the time of printing, so most of my text is missing from the print.To solve the problem I created a print version of that page, with full text visible. I figure a print button can link to it. This file is called print_bio.swf.Question - what would the script be (in AS3) for a print button (printButton) that when clicked prints my other swf file (print_bio.swf) with full text visible?

This used to be so easy to do back in the day, but not any more.

View 3 RepliesI tried posting this once before, I will now try once again. I enjoy the challenge of creating all sorts of things entirely with actionscript (quizes, games, movies, etc). It is not particularily useful but it can be very difficult and fun. It's very satisfying to show someone an fla file with one empty frame and only an action attatched.
I have only been able to create buttons with actionscript by creating a movie clip this.createEmptyMovieClip ("InstanceName", depth) - and then specifying the fill and stroke.
I've always wondered what the script is for creating the actual button itself, instead of using a movie clip like a button. For instance, something like - this.createNewButtonInstance("InstanceName", depth) - this doesn't actually work, though.
I've looked around before, and I can continue using movie clips if necessary, I just thought I'd ask. If anyone knows and would like to post it here,

I have done some intense googling to try to find a solution, which I'd assume is obvious since I've only just started with flash and I'm not programming anything too difficult yet.
I have a flash website that loads rather slowly, presumably because it is composed of a single .swf file, so I want to break that down into several. So how do I create a button that loads an external swf on top of the existing movie?
So far I have this which I pulled from {URL]
Code:
//This creates a new instance of the loader object.
var my_Loader:Loader = new Loader();
//This creates a new instance of the URLRequest object that contains the
//path to the external SWF.

I need to create a button, or at least a movie clip that functions like a button that will print a page when clicked. Ideally I would like to have the button as part of the flash application, which will be online embedded into a web page as a .swf. on click the print page dialog box will appear, and the user will be able to print out the web page. What is the best way to code this?
View 3 RepliesI need to create a button which will be on a MovieClip. The Movie clip contains columns and rows of data.
