ActionScript 3.0 :: Disabling Menu Button For Current Page Using Flashvars?
Nov 22, 2009
So I know Flashvars uses a lot different methods in AS3 because of the loader classes and all that. How do I disable the button and make it only display the second frame to the button corresponding to the page that the user is currently on?I've called a variable in the HTML document using query string (or I could use Flashvars just as easy if that makes it easier) called "currentPage" and on each page in the HTML give it a page name.I know how to grab the variable from the HTML into a text field in the SWF (see this tutorial) but I'm having trouble manipulating my menu buttons.

I am using flashvars in my OBJECT and EMBED tags like so:[code]Each layer after that contains an instance (in this example, the instance is named "availability", which is the text of the button), that instance contains the button in an off state and and on state, and the on state contains the instance "availability_anim". In the movie clip this instance represents, there is a frame labeled "a_set".The idea is that if once goes to availability.php?section=a_set, it should display the rollover state of the button exactly at the label, a_set, but it doesn't.

I have managed to create some buttons movie clips and understand how to link pages. The only question i have is how do you make the button/link for the current page highlight so the user can know what page they are on? Is there a way to have a current page indicator in flash as you can do with html/css?

I currently creating a website which content some pages. example of homepage and aboutpage.I want to make it as below.
If the user clicks the 'home_mc' button i want it to disable to the content cant be loaded twice. If the user clicks 'products_mc' i want 'home_mc' to be enable again, and then disable 'products_mc'.This to prevent user to currently reading on homepage when click on the home_mc button again will cause the homepage animate in again.

if(nextPage == currentPage)
{
//disable the mouseEvent listener of the currentTarget button?

I have this code about navigation using movieclip buttons. I just made the currently selected button disabled when it is in the current page but I just cant figure out on how to maintain it in its hover state (It keeps on returning to its normal state).
Here's the code I've written on the first frame on the main timeline(scene1), I have 4 buttons namely mcButton1, mcButton2, mcButton3, mcButton4 and 4 labeled frames, page1, page2, page3 and page4.:
var page:String;
var btnArray:Array = [mcButton1, mcButton2, mcButton3, mcButton4];var pageArray:Array = ["page1", "page2", "page3", "page4"];

I have a .swf file containing a navigation bar and also an animation. I was going to use getURL on the nav buttons so that a different html page would launch onRelease. The animation in the swf file that contains the nav buttons plays as soon as the swf is loaded and there's also a movie clip in the file which continues its animation even after the file has loaded and played. As each of the nav buttons are pressed and the correct html page loads, I don't want the entire swf file to reload and therefore play the entire animation again as it did on the home page, but instead I just want it to appear as though it's already loaded but I do want the separate movie clip in the swf file to continue to play. Is there any way to make this happen?
Also, I wondered what code I'd need to make the current page nav button appear in a different state to all the other buttons to make a "you are here" effect.

I've got an idea for a game I'm making that makes use of both mouse buttons, but the pesky right click menu always gets in the way. I've been doing some research, and I've heard tell of some "authorware" programs that disable the menu? I've also heard that disabling the right click menu voids some kind of warranty.

I've created a sliding menu that has a left button and a right button. Each button slides a background movieclip to the left or right. The background mc eases into position when one of the buttons is clicked. Problem is that buttons can still be clicked while the mc is easing into position. This throws off my x coordinate positioning of the mc. I've tried disabling the buttons and enabling them again at a few different points in my code. I've also tried using a time delay to enable the buttons but my logic isn't working. I've stripped the code that was not working out.

I'm working on a pretty basic interactive children's book. I have it set up so that each page has audio relating to that specific page. Going forward, there is no issue with sound overlapping from the current and next pages. Going backward, however, there is an issue with sound playing on both the current and previous pages. How do I stop this?
Here is the script I'm using-
ActionScript Code:
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

I've designed a slide show player using Actionscript 3.0 which loads several external images. While the images are loading, the HTML links on my page (outside of the Flash movie) don't work. As soon as all the images are loaded, the links start working again. It seems like the Flash player is hijacking the browser while the images are loading which can take the better part of a minute depending on my connection speed. I can click an HTML link once during the loading time and as soon as the images have loaded, the browser loads the new page (the one the HTML links to). Once all the images are in my Temporary Internet Files folder, this problem ceases to exist (since the images no longer need to be downloaded)

I bought one of those templates, and i was able to get around most of the stuff. But one last thing that I have issue with is that there is an AS2 script for a button, where you can change the page that you want to be updated. But every time that I click that button, it opens the new page. but then if I use the same button in the new page, and click on it, another page will open and that current page will get closed.

I have a flash banner on every page in my site. I want it to continue playing rather than reloading when users change pages. Ive read that this can be achieved using flashvars.
I have this on frame 1 of my fla file now:
var mySharedObject:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("displayCookie");
if(mySharedObject.data.displayed == true){
gotoAndPlay(currentFrame);
trace("cookie found");
[Code] ....
But I don't know how to give the currentFrame the value it had at the time the page was refreshed. How do I put that in there?

Basically, I have a button and on click it displays a menu. I want to click that menu a second time and the menu closes. Currently, every time you click the button, the menu reopens. I pasted the Flex livedoc example below. If you click the button, the menu keeps reopening.Now, I rigged it up by setting a var to open and closed, so when clicking the button it does a check. However, if you click away from the screen, the HIDE event gets dispatched, and the menu closes. This messed up the open close var being set.
How could I make this Flex example below show the menu on button click, and then on a second button click, it closes the menu? Take into affect that if you click away from the menu, it closes it.Also, I played around with the MOUSE_DOWN_OUTSIDE event for the button and set the preventDefault, and the FlexMouseEvent event.cancelable is set to false.Changing to a PopUpMenuButton is not an option. I have to much skinning involved.Here is the Flex example:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
// Import the Menu control.
import mx.controls.Menu;

Good day to everyone. I'm here today to seek help about Flash CS4 and ActionScript 3.0. The story starts when one day, my boss asked me to make a flash presentation about their upcoming user training for a newly developed software. I was enthusiastic and excited about it because it's been a long time that I did not use Flash (note that I don't have any experience in ActionScript 3.0). At first, everything was a bit rough as I need to recall how to properly use the frames to create a successful animation. As I was about to finish the project, my boss approached me again and asked if I could insert a menu page in front so that the users won't have to replay the whole thing again just to look for a little something on that part of the movie. So yea, at first I was abit hesitant to accept. I said that it will work with Powerpoint. But she's a total pusher and I was forced to say yes. Now I'm having this problem about how to make a flash button load a swf movie.I've tried searching all over the net for tutorials but most of the times the "getUrl" and other stuff are said to be outdated.

I took an object and converted it into a button symbol. I want to be able to disable and enable the button in different situations. I used the action script code "myButton.enabled=true;" and "myButton.enabled=false;" but these don't seem to work. Is it possible to access this property of a button I made? if not is there any way to change the button in the user interface components? if not is there any other way to disable or enable the buttons i made?

I have seen several threads in regards to tbe button enable/disable, mouseEnabled usage. However. I have tried both methodologies in my code, and they don't respond. Continues to give me the alpha change and color text change, but not disabling the button after I roll off of it.Ultimate goal,to disable the currently selected button, leave the alpha at .4 and the text color to remain in its selected state/color. Everything works beautifully for my buttons other than disabling the selected one. Any thoughts or suggestions on what I can do to make the below code work better?Code called in previous function in class to add the MouseEvents to the buttons:
ActionScript Code:
buttonClips_arr[whichOne].buttonMode = true; [ code].............

I'm developing a card game where I have a button (dealButton) which deals the cards. The action can be triggered by a clicking the button or pressing the spacebar on the keyboard.
Problem is, if I press the spacebar repeatedly the action is triggered multiple times. Is there a way to disable the button when I press the spacebar so that it triggeres the action once only, then gets enabled again later, to deal a new hand?

I have a log in page with two buttons "credit" and "browse" . If the user selects "browse" I want the button to start the quiz globally disabled on level0 (the log in page is level1). I think I need to leave the log in page playing on top in an empty frame for this to work. I have tried:
_global._level0._root.quizBtn.enabled = false(); I have tried that script on the button action of the "browse" button.
