ActionScript 3.0 :: Custom Scrollable Movieclip Using Buttons?
Apr 3, 2009
how to create a custom scroll bar without using the UI components. Unfortunately, the author has deleted the video but still provides the source files which I have began to pick apart. Although this scroll bar works great, I am working on a movieclip of scrollable thumbnails that only uses buttons to scroll and not the scrollbar it self. it seems as though the buttons control the movie clip based on the position of the scroll bar/scroller.
Here is the url of the tutorial page (the source files can be downloaded): [URL] I have also attached the code that is used to control the scrollbar.
provide the code that would only use the buttons to smoothly control the timeline? Or show some altercations of the code that would make this work properly.

I need to create a scrollable list of buttons. Only vertical scrolling is enough. The main thing is that, the buttons and scroll bar should be custom drawn. One and two dimension of button layout support is needed.

I've got my canvas size at 900x600 pixels, the text i want on the screen is too large for the site's design, so i want to have the text in the middle with 2 scroll buttons UP - DOWN on the right hand side of the text. [let me point out i dont want the scrollbar from components cos it doesnt go with my sites colors]. So thats not an option.
I looked online and it said 'make a text box, select 'scrollable' then create a button and right click and type in the following into the actions' but when i right click the buttons actions i always get 'current selection cannot have actions applied to it' There was a reason i stopped using flash, and it seems ive stumbled upon that reason again, im reading tutorials on the CS3 Pro version which is the one i have and what its telling me to do is not possible.
Text Button UP, Button DOWN
Click DOWN text scrolls down
Click UP text scrolls up

I have a screenshot in a scrollable field (Flash CS3/4) and have put a button on the screenshot so when the user clicks it's supposed to call up a movie clip of bubble with a description of the section. I'm not finding the best way to call this movie clip up.

scrolling = function () {
var scrollHeight:Number = scrollTrack._height;

I have a vertical movieclip that has 20 graphic symbols that need to be dragged onto an area to the right on the stage.
The issue I am having is I need to make the movieclip scroll vertically. If I use the scrollpane component, the draggable items get masked and disapear when dragging them outside of the scrollpane component.
I tried using a custom scrollbar, though the draggable items that are dropped, are then scrolled vertically with the main movieclip...

I have read the tutorial called "loading text from external sources"(with 3 buttons loading 3 different texts) . I tried it but when I click right on the button, it says "cannot place actionscript directly on an object" Must the different buttons be on different layers?(In my project, they are on the last page of my site)

I'm using the tooltipManager as described [URL]. I want to display a custom tooltip for the buttons of a buttonbar. The buttonbar's declaration is as follow:
<mx:ButtonBar id="topToolbar" height="30" dataProvider="{topToolbarProvider}"
iconField="icon" itemClick="topToolbarHandler(event)"
buttonStyleName="topButtonBarButtonStyle"
toolTipField="tooltip"/>
Until here, everything works fine. I do see the proper text displaying in a tooltip. Then, I created a custom tooltip manager using the tutorial quoted previously:
public class TooltipsManager {
private var _customToolTip:ToolTip;
public function TooltipsManager() {
} public function showToolTipRight(evt:MouseEvent, text:String):void {
var pt:Point = new Point(evt.currentTarget.x, evt.currentTarget.y);
[Code] .....
Now, this is where I start having issues... I'm trying to get to use this custom tooltip, but I don't know how to get the buttonbar to take it into account. I created a function to see when could I call the functions in my TooltipsManager:
public function showTopToolbarTooltip(e:ToolTipEvent):void{
trace('blabla');
}
But it would seem that it's never taken into account. I've put this function in different buttonbar's events: tooltipcreate, tooltipstart, tooltipend but nothing happens. Not a single trace. Where to call the function of my tooltipManager?

I'm trying to get a button to change color via a Custom class written in ActionScript. I have built and attached an example to show you all what I'm trying to achieve. The code works perfectly with a MovieClip, but when I try to apply it to a Button, it falls flat (can't even find the reference to the button it seems). On my stage are two objects:
1. A Movie Clip
2. A Button
These are both set to "Export for ActionScript", and have an attached class called 'ColorClass'. ColorClass is basically what does all the work (makes a Color object, and has set and get methods). I also have an action layer where all my other code is contained. I'm fairly new to ActionScript, but come from a Java background

Does anyone know the actionScript to apply to custom radio buttons? I want them to function exactly like the component radio buttons available in CS3, but I can't use those because adding one makes the .swf about 30k and I have a 30k limit on all flash files.I imagine the radio button would have to be a mC with frame 1 a drawing of a button unchecked and frame 2 the button checked. Then another mC of 4 of those radio button mC's grouped together and coding to tell it that when one is clicked to unclick the others, but I haven't been able to figure it out. I haven't been able to find any info on this online since everyone just uses the component versions anymore

I have created a presentation which is mostly graphics and voiceover. I have created a few custom buttons to allow the user to pause, start over, etc. (not video). In a few places I am calling to external flv files which have been placed inside movieclips. I want to be use my custom pause button to pause the flv as well, as opposed to using a flv player/controller. I have made several attempts such as:
_on (release) {
_root.myvideo_mc.pause();
}
[Code]....
and trying stop/play instead of pause, etc...all to no avail. the appropriate scripting to control an flv with a custom button?

I just imported a video file with 2 sections titled:
music
light
This should help:
So this code works perfect with a componant button but I can't make it work with a normal one. Why? What is so different about them. Why can't I make a normal button and give it the same name "my_button"
For some reason even if I name the button the same thing as the component button it no longer works

I am new to AS3, as well as Flash in general, so forgive me if this seems highly elementary. All I am trying to do is create a custom class that extends the MovieClip class and contains a custom property of "marker". I want to be able to use and change the value of this custom property on the timeline for an instance of this class and have it behave just like any other (Ex: this.x ==> this.marker).

I'm trying to get my website updated, which normally would not be a big deal, except that during the course of updates, I discovered my site was created using AS1 and now I have to convert to AS3, which seems like a foreign language to me. I'm making progress, except that my latest problem relates to custom buttons.On a couple of my pages I made a static text box into a movie clip and placed it behind a mask. I made custom buttons to fit into the look and feel of my site, which control the "text box movie clip". I don't want to use the generic "UI Scroll" that Flash gives you (even though it's probably the easy way out) because it doesn't fit with my site design.I was given code to use for my buttons, but I get an error when I test my movie.The error I get is an 1120 Error: "Access of Undefined Property" on lines 3 and 14.[code]

I'm updating my website and found out that I originally created it using AS1. I now need to update to AS3 and am having difficult time learning AS3 or even catching on to the basics. On two of my pages, I created a static text box, which I turned into a movie clip to have controlled by buttons. I got my down button to work, but I'm still having a problem with my up button. I can get it to work if I use the same code as my "down", but then my movie clip text continue scrolling down, instead of up. Here is my current set up:
Movie clip controller that is 3 frames:
Frame 1: stop action
Frame 2: blank
Frame 3: gotoAndPlay(2);

I have made a script for a custom cursor, but the only problem is that when I hover the cursor over a button, the button shows on top of it and the cursor hides underneath and you can't really see what you're trying to click.
Here is my script:
Code:
onEnterFrame = function() {
cursor._x = _xmouse;
cursor._y = _ymouse;
Mouse.hide();
}
(The instance's name is "cursor")

I'm sure custom buttons act differently than the mx button component, and that is why I'm having this problem...I'm working on a project where the actionscript is all inclusive in its own file (I'm trying to be a good OOP programmer in flash here) For this project I had a regular mx button within the fla, I gave it an instance name and properly linked it so within the .as, I was able to say:[actionscript]my_btn.addEventListener("click", myObject_eh);[/actionscript]you would click on the button and it would work.However I do not want to use the regular mx button so I created my own button, same instance name and everything what is the proper syntax to get this to work in similar fashion

How to make custom radio buttons/checkboxes?
View 2 Replies
Nov 26, 2011
making custom checkboxes/radio buttons. I have created one of each on the stage. The goal is to create each in a movie clip so that I can use them in various programs. As I am using these flash programs in an interface down the road, I have found myself to have trouble with the prebuild flash components. I would like to build my own. I would also like them to be able to only have one clicked at a time.
quick note: I have the buttons both changing their stages in movieclips. Frame 1 is the upstate and frame 2 is the down state.

I need to show different custom pointer when mouseover 2 different invisible buttons. These are next and back buttons which cover the entire left and right part of the stage. How this can be done in as3? Or is there a better way of doing it? I checked out the import flash.ui adobe live doc but can't quite make head and tail of it. I guess the example shown is only to change to custom cursor for entire stage.

I'm trying to convert my sniper game to as3 but coming up with the problem of evt.target hitting the scope crosshairs (the cursor) and not bubbling down to the stick man.[ode]I've come up with two solutions but they both negatively impact the accuracy and game play.
1. use objectHitTest, this works but makes it frustrating to hit small objects
2. make a small hole in the scope, this would probably work but could also cause problems

I'm working on my personal portfolio site and desperately need help with some AS3. my knowledge about AS3 is very rudimentary. Hope anyone who's I want to change the pointer cursor to custom movieclip when mouseover different invisible buttons. These buttons are mainly forward & backward button for my gallery. I got some help from other site but still unsolved. Please take a look at my fla attachment to point out what's wrong with the coding. To elaborate a little bit more as what I wish to achieve you can take a look at the sample URL...I just need the pointer cursor to turn to custom mc when it mouseover the hit area of the respective buttons.

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){
