ActionScript 3.0 :: Define For Buttons On A Different Keyframe?
Jun 29, 2009
This probably has an easy answer, but I seem to be unable to find it myself.On frame 1 in the Timeline (in CS4), I have this actionscript:
var clickAreaLink1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.example.com/?=1");
btn_clickArea1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickArea_click1);
function clickArea_click1(event:MouseEvent):void
{
navigateToURL(clickAreaLink1,"_blank");
}
On a different keyframe, I have my button labled "btn_clickArea1." When I run the movie I get the error "Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."My guess is because the button is on a different keyframe than the actionscript. However, I have four buttons that will need to be constantly updated, so I want the actionscript all in one place to easily update them. Is there a good way to get this to work?

in jist.have a MC that is a nav bar. It houses buttons. The buttons inside the MC do not respond to code ony the _root timeline or code defined specifically to them. What I am trying to achieve is the nested buttons calling on my dynamic text field and loading outside .txt files.I manipulate the buttons on the main timeline and get the effects i'm looking for but not inside of the MC.

I have a simple flash that has 2 layers 2 images. one image is on the first frame and the other image is on the second keyframe. Actionscript starts on 1st keyframe. What I have it doing is loading frame one stop() reads the actionscript checks the date if the date is met it goes and stops on frame 2 and plays other image:
Everytime the flash refreshes it plays frame one then jumps to frame 2 if the date is met. How do I avoid playing frame one if the date is met what it's doing is playing the first image before the date change and a split second after it plays frame 2. (you see a hiccup)
i need the flash to "preload, check the actionscript before it loads if the date is met automataclly go to frame 2 avoiding frame one all together.
actionscript used on frame one:
stop();
var year:Number = 2012;
var month:Number = 3;
var day:Number = 22;

For buttons like the MENU or BACK button you can just add a listener for KeyboardEvent and check if the event keyCode is Keyboard.BACK or Keyboard.MENU.However I don't see anything for knowing if the phone's volume buttons were pressed.Is there a way to listen for volume up and volume down keyUp/keyDown events in AIR (ActionScript 3)?

i'm making a game and to score some extra performance im rendering every frame of every entity into an array of bitmapdata's the first time the frame is seen, and it works well, but its wasting alot of memory because we have alot of animations, and most of them are double framed at least, so more than half of the bitmaps could be ignored if there was a way to determine if a frame is a keyframe or not

When I place some codes in a keyframe, these codes are showing on all the following frames up till the next keyframe with codes. My question is, does Flash execute codes only in the keyframe or it execute whatever is in the frame regardless whether its a keyframe or not?

I have 2 keyframes on my timeline.The first keyframe has an input text field (instance name: inputTxt) and a button (instance name: btnTester).When the user clicks the button it takes them to the second keyframe where their text should be displayed in a dynamic text box (instance name: txtBox).I get a null value in keyframe 2.

I'm wanting to use an XML file to define swfaddress deeplinking buttons so that "next" and "previous" buttons can be easily changed out by the client without having to edit the .FLA file.
In other words the .FLA file will have a series of labeled keyframes "frame_01," "frame_02," and so on the "next" button will have code in it that parses an xml file and inserts the correct frame for the deeplinking.
Code:
// LOAD XML
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();

I know it's possible (and the answer must be under my nose) but I am at a loss as to how to accomplish this:I have 5 movie clips on the stage, and their instance names are in one array. I then have an array with hexidecimals that I want to assign the colors to the movie clip. So, in essence clipArray[0] would obtain hueArray[0] and so on and so forth. Here is the small code snippet I am working with.
stop();
var clipArray:Array = [one_mc, two_mc, three_mc, four_mc, five_mc];
var hueArray:Array = ["0xd50000","0xff9000","0xfcff00","0x00c91c","0x005 0d5"];

defined using a specific syntax. Instead, you define events in your class by using the functionality of the EventDispatcher class to keep track of event listeners and notify them of events."But in some Adobe's sample files, events are defined as class properties or local variables in class methods. while we call the dispatchevent() method only one time for each event (By the way is it possible to dispatch a single event more than one time?) and do not use the event object elsewhere in the class, what is the advantage of assigning the event to a variable? specially to a class property, specially to a public class property, while we can define and dispatch the event in a single statement like this:this .dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.CHANGE,true)) ?2. The AS3 Language Reference says :"You do not normally call clone(); the EventDispatcher class calls it automatically when you redispatch an eventthat is, when you call dispatchEvent(event) from a handler that is handling event

I am currently using Flash CS4. Trying to do a very simple redirect via a password. What I want to do is whatever password they enter (variable defined as code) I want it to direct them to the keyframe. The below works if they enter hi (sometimes it seems to work sometimes not). The password "no" does not seem to work. I have attached simple fla based on the logic I am using.

I've been manually creating a slideshow with flash (I like my final product better than the auto-approaches), and have reached a sort of odd situation.When trying to insert a new keyfram at fram 1675 of my animation, instead of a new keyframe, I'm getting my last keyframe's run (from 1650) extended to here.Is there a per-layer keyframe limit?And is there an FAQ that would cover this (fairly obvious seeming) question, rather than posting?

I'm working with Flash CS5 and a Wacom Intuos3 tablet. In my first time working with CS5, I set up my hotkeys on the tablet to what I normally have when I'm doing frame-by-frame animation in Flash. I have one button set to F6, which used to add a keyframe wherever my playhead was on the timeline. What I prefer to do is scrub to where I want the next frame using my scroll/strip and just hit the F6 button where I want a new keyframe. But in CS5, what's happening is it's not adding any keyframes at all, but instead moving my playhead back to the last keyframe I edited. What's going on? I can't even scroll to where I want and add a keyframe without physically clicking the frame itself and THEN pressing F6.

I've inherited a flash project @ work and I need to save a keyframe as it's own .swf file, but I don't recall how to get Flash to do just that.
The flash .fla file seems to hold multiple keyframes that need to be saved as their own .swf files, which are referred to in the Actionscript by name.
I've figured out the editing, but this business of keyframes i've forgotten how to manipulate.

I am making a simple project ,a so called "quizz" .SO as every questions has wrong and true answers buttons I am wondering how do I go to the previous keyframe.Let me be more clear. I have this "screen" with a button that appears only when you click the "wrong answer" on a question,the screen has a button that will lead you to the menu to start a new game,but I realized that would be very ANNOYING ,because if we are at question 30 [we pretend] it would be very frustrating to start all over again.So I am wondering what code do I need to write to the Screen with the "start over" button that leads to menu to make it lead me to the question I Answered wrong. I want to say that I tried something like "on (release) { gotoAndPlay ("previous") ;} but didn`t work To be even more clear I will show you on this picture.

I'm using a handy-dandy script that allows me to scroll a masked movie clip with ease. I ran into an issue, however, when I wanted to scroll two different movie clip instances � each with their own separate scroll bar � in the same keyframe. I tried giving unique names to all of the elements in the second instance, but it hasn't worked. A non-functioning example of what I'm trying to accomplish is attached. [URL]

I am in the end of my development of a script that parses out large amounts of data from the timeline with AS3. This data is then used for an animation in corona. We have several of animations in the timeline, and we are splitting those by frame labels. That means that all objects are in place and often, there is no use of them and those movieclips is missing keyframes. My script parses out everything, but I just want the data thats has some value.
detect if a current frame in a layer is a keyframe or not? If not, get rid of data that we are not animating.

i got some trouble here that I cant seem to find a solution, well, I dont even know what happends here.
The goal: Make a puzzle-like with 54 MCs
What it should do:
- Come to front onMouseOver swapDepth(1)
- Go to back when onMouseOut swapDepth(-0)
This is working...
I cant seem to understand why my MCs are still appearing on another keyframe when I click the button "2"
Btn "1" goes to the puzzle. Btn "2" goes to an empty keyframe but there are some MCs that are still visible when they should not be.

I have a MovieClip with buttons inside that basically slides left/right based on mouse movement. Now everything works, I defined a hitTest for the MC movement but I need to reduce the zone where moving the mouse the MC slides.
here the code:
docWidth=1000;//stage width
stopping=false;
dx=0;//speed holder
[code]...
Now my problem is here this.hitTest(_root._xmouse,_root._ymouse,false)) I tried to change the _ROOT._XMOUSE,_ROOT._YMOUSE,FALSE with the instance name of another empty MC called hit_mc just to have a sort of a hit mask but didnt work.

i have a red rectangle. On top of this rectangle is a bitmapped (not vector unfortunately) pattern fill that needs to include some white/transparent pixels that should show the red color of the rectangle. How do you define this in SVG, if possible while avoiding the use of masks? The 'transparent' pixels keep coming up white instead of red.
