The following code showing errors, when I create multi buttons based on xml data.
[Code].....
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 am making a bar of 4 different movie clip buttons in a row. Like "- - - -" and what happens is when you hover over them they expand and show content of what they are labeled. "info" hover over shows content. But the problem is, whenever let say hover over Contact, The "Info" title on the bar next to it will show. I'm unaware of how to make it so the "Content BOX" is above the rest of the hover links. All the hover links are all into one layer, in a movie clip. (So I can toggle the whole button bar from left to right.)
View 0 RepliesI am currently creating animated buttons that have a movie clip inside them (including tweens). I created a button and copied this six times. I would like to change the colour of each individual button, but when I do this it changes the colours of all the buttons. How can I do this so it changes the individual the colour of a single button.
View 1 RepliesBasically when I place multiple items on the stage, each one will have it's own movie clip. The name of the movie clip is stored in a xml file. How do write something along the lines of "itemMC = new xml.items[1].movieClipName"?
PS: Kinda off the topic but what's the datatype of stage?
I 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 creating a drop down menu and when I addEventListeners to check the clicks on the invisible buttons on frame 19 of the "menu" movieclip, it gives me an error. T really hate doing rollover with actionscripts. The download link for the fla can be found in below. Sorry for posting an external download link as the file is 7mb+! [URL]
View 2 RepliesI'd like to know if there's a way to take data entered into a field in flash, save it, and call it later via an object.I don't want anyone to walk me through it if there is, that's not what I'm asking. I'm just asking what I need to know in order to do this. I'd like to build a certain flash app that takes information (such as a name, paragraph, and/or sentence) saves it, and can then be recalled when a user clicks a button... even if the user has closed out the application.I'm still relatively new to flash, I know enough to get by on basic projects, but I want to expand my knowledge so I don't end up stuck in a beginners rut.Would this require using PHP and Flash? Or can it be done entirely in flash via exporting data to a designated external file?
View 2 RepliesA can't seem to get this creating movieclip thing, or attach movieclip. What I want is when a certain button is pressed, a MC in the library is created on the work area, at the mouse location and will continue to follow the mouse untill it is clicked. Once clicked, it stops dragging, but if clicked again, another MC on the screen will gotoAndStop(2); and so on. I have most of the script idea down. But I can't seem to get the create new MC to work.
View 4 RepliesIv'e got a problem, when creating a movieclip inside a movieclip. I create 5 movieclips dynamically... I want a clickable tag/box on each of these moviclips...
[Code]...
I've been coding all day so my brain is a bit fried. I just came accross something I will need to address and I'm trying to figure out the best way to approach this following scenerio: I have a mirror graphic, inside the mirror I need to have a movieclip fade from one pic to another and loop or fade from one clip to another. Either the one clip has two pics inside or theuse two clips with one pic in each which is pretty easy to achieve but I need to have each pic when displayed be a button that when released will gotoAndStop in a frame inside the timeline.
View 4 RepliesI am creating next & previous buttons on my main scene. I have created a scrolling photo gallery as well as a random button to randomly select images. I have a photos layer that has 15 images tagged in the AS "img1" "img2".
[Code]....
Basically, i want 5 buttons in one scene to link on to different scenes. The buttons are images. I tried doing it and each button goes on to the next scene which is not what i want.I have converted the images as button symbols and added actionscript on each of them, but it just links on to the next scene instead of going to different scenes.[code]
View 2 RepliesHow to create a class from an Animated Buttons in AS3? I learn the video name "Introduction to OOP" with the code AS 2 here:
Code: Select allclass ButtonClass extends MovieClip {

I don't know how to write it in AS3.
I want to make a site for my personal gallery and i'm asking you if there is another method to make my gallery, other that the one when the user click Back and Next to navigate through thhe images in the order that i chose. I want to create some buttons dynamically (so i will be able to add images to the gallery without replacing the SWF) and assign each of these buttons an on(release) or on(press) event handler that will show the image for that button
View 4 RepliesI'm using Flash CS3, Actionscript 2.0 and I'm trying to create buttons dynamically.I tried to follow the code in the link below. The code is correct for the most part but the only problem I have is that only the last button appears. For example, if I try to create 10 buttons, only the 10th button is created.
View 6 Repliesim trying to dynamically create buttons...here's an example scenario -> off stage is a movie clip called "originalButton_mc"I want to use a loop to duplicate this movie clip 25 times, and each one should be able to perform a unique onRelease function ex.
Code:
for (i = 0; i<25; i++) {
var newButton_mc = originalButton_mc.duplicateMovieClip("button"+i, i+1);
newButton_mc._y = i*22;
newButton_mc._x = 10;
[code]....
the problem with the above code is that when I click my new buttons it always traces 25...because, clearly - my code is wrong, and the onRelease is getting rewritten for each button - hence its left with the last i ... 25.
I'm creating buttons dynamically, but I want to add code also. something like (psuedo)[thumb + i].on Release = "_parent.thumb" + i + "Pressed()" can that work? I think I need targetMc?
View 3 RepliesSo I have this loop generating buttons based upon how many entries there are in my XML:
Code:
for (j=0; j < base.image.length(); j++) {
trace(j);
var newButton:imgButton = new imgButton();
[Code]....
Now I'm just wondering what the best way of assigning control to the buttons is (i.e. making them do something,). I'm wanting each created button to load a different image (defined in the xml) if that's of any use.
Do I need to add event listeners dynamically or something?

View 4 Repliesway to take the contents of an array, which is full of texttype, and use them to create a stack of buttons. Now the actual text I have in the array will change every time the program is run.
For example, let's say my array is ["apples","oranges","pears"] I want to create three buttons (in this example) so that it appears
apples
oranges
pears
and when you click on "apples", it takes you to the corresponding "apples" webpage ("_blank").
i have all my buttons on frame 2. im creating a real estate site and i have to have a couple links like HOME ABOUT BUYING SELLING CONTACT, the thing though is that in the BUYING and SELLING frames i want to add more sections and links but only on these 2 other parts of my site. when i code it and add new buttons to these sections though my movie plays over and over and over non stop. heres my coding...
FRAME 1 preloader
Frame 2 has a frame label of home and all the buttons on a diff layer, and AS3 on a different layer
Frame 3 has a frame label for about section
Frame 4 is my contact for example
so if i create a new button in the about frame label and just add the code to the working as3 code on frame 2 my movie just plays over and over and over again, and all i want it do do is act like the other buttons and go to a different frame label down in the time line. the only way i get it to work is if i have ALL my buttons on frame 2.
frame 1
my preloader
frame2
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onHome)
function onHome(event.MouseEvent):void
[Code]....
i enter my btn code just like this and the buttons on frame 2 work but any new buttons i try and creat and put into different frames othere then frame label "home" aka frame 2 wont work

I need to create 5 buttons which looks the same, and each one of them has a picture on it.
I created a button symbol, named it and created linkage to AS. I also created a MovieClip that holds the picture I want to put on top of the button and created a linkage.
Then in the code I create two instances and display them

View 1 RepliesI'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...)

View 4 Repliesi'm developing a website for my client. Here is the test version [URL] will look like this:[URL]There will be a menu created dynamically from a XML file, after clicking a menu button a MovieClip with a photo and category description will show up.After clicking the button "View more" the MovieClip with description will be removed and MovieClips with category products will show up through a for-loop on XML products nodes from this category.
The XML will look like this:
Code: Select all<category name="torty" url="torty.jpg" description="Category description">
<item name="Tiramisu" make="Balconi" url="tiramisu.jpg"><![CDATA[Product description...]]></item>
<item name="Cake" make="Balconi" url="cake.jpg"><![CDATA[Product description...]]></item>
[code]....
I can create the navigation menu, and maybe i will manage to create first MovieClip with the category photo and description but i don't have how to create those next MovieClips with products desciption after clicking the button "View more".
