ActionScript 3.0 :: Does It Matter Where On Timeline Your Buttons Are
May 3, 2009
I am making a site and I do not want some of the buttons to show all of the time. So for example, I have four text buttons with Actionscript Mouse_Over from frames 1-40 on the timeline. At 41, they are gone and four new buttons come into play. When I test the movie, the second set of rollovers link up to the specified labels.I keep getting this"1009 error at frame ()1" message. I initially had the same problem with the first four buttons as I had them appear on the stage at frame 3. After I moved them to frame 1, the rollovers worked again.So is there a way to hide the second set of buttons until a specified time or do they have to start on frame 1?Is there a way you could view my Fla file to see if it is something I am just overlooking? All of my Script is correct.

am trying to create a feeder of sorts. I have tried different fps on publishing but always get the stutter no matter the speed. There are only 4 - 5 items in moveItemsArr and on screen at any given time. Here is my mover function that gets called via a timer:

Is there a way (a method) to obtain the location of an item no matter where it is. Maybe something that looks for an item finds it's path and puts that path at to a _global

I've used FlexCover quite a bit before so this is absolutely absurd to me. No matter what version of the flex sdk (3.0, 3.2, or 4) that I apply the appropriate patches too, I get the following error when trying to compile:[code]I have absolutely no idea why this is happening. One thing that is odd however (and I'm hoping is the source of my problem) is that I can NOT download the SDKs that are specifically suggested by the Flexcover documentation. Copying folders on Mac OS X does not merge them and so I was losing the original jar's that needed to stay there.

Basically I'm trying to write a function that can look at any movieClip no matter how far down it is nested and then tell a MC sitting in the root movie to lay over it.

This is really basic, I've got 3 buttons on the main timeline, which is 25 frames. All my actions are on frame 14. Three buttons work on frame 15. But these same 3 buttons stop working on frame 17 [URL]..

i have forward/back buttons to control the timeline. what happens in the following code is that if the button is clicked while in the < or > range of frames, it gets buggy. heres the code.
[Code].....
this doesnt seem to go to the exact frame i need if i click while the current sample is still animating in. It would be much better if i could tell flash to a specific frame instead of asking flash to determine a range. that way, if a button is pressed during an animation it wont just advance one frame, it would jump to a specific frame.
I wish i could just do this:
[Code].....
i thought about creating a var that would be a string. i could then add a number to the name of that string each time the button is clicked. then i could make frame labels the name of the string. but i couldnt get my head around it. also, i didnt know how to make the button stop adding to the string name once it reach a certain value (6 in this case). or how to make it play the last sample animation if the user kept clicking the advance button at the end of the samples.

I have two buttons at the bottom of my animation which should work all the way through the timeline. They work when you click on the chrome icon in the animation, but when you click on either Firefox or any of the other browser thumbnail buttons, the links stop working and nothing happens when you click them?
Here is a link to download the FLA file - [URL]

I have a three masked pictures all are movie clips on the main timeline and the mask works ok. The problem I am having is a set of buttons on the main timeline which allow you to move between the frames the three pictures are on. They allow me to do this ok but when the movie is started the first time one of the buttons is pressed the masked pictures can be seen on screen briefly before the screen displays the material properly.
This is the script I am currently using:
room_pic.setMask("mc_mask");
mc_mask.onEnterFrame=function(){
this._x=this._x+this._xmouse*0.300000;
this._y=this._y+this._ymouse*0.500000;}
I have three layers the main picture which is a bitmap; the three masked pictures are in the layer above this; and the mask object is in a layer above this and is a movieclip.

I want to call on a button instance that lives two levels up in a movie clip. So, the mc lives here: Scene 1 > startMc > navMC (the navMC contains all the buttons) I thought "page1_btn.child.child.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, page1content);" would work but doesn't seem to do it.

I created a scrollpane which contains several different buttons. Each button does a simple timeline navigation, but won't function inside of the scrollpane. I just need each button to 'gotoframeandstop'. How can I make these buttons work in a scrollpane?

I have a flash document that publishes to an swf I embedd into an html page. The flass is made up of three movie clips that I have managed to program to run in succession and then loop. Each movie clip (frame 1, frame 2 and frame 3) drill down into their own animation. I set the movie up this way so that each of the animations could be linked to a different web page. Now I want to add navigation within the flash itself by creating three dots that when clicked will send the movie to frame 1, 2 or 3. I can't seem to find an example of this and am just not well versed enough in script to figure this out.

I'm having an issue with my website design and as I'm relatively new to flash I can't seem to fix it on my own. I know what I'm supposed to do, technically, but not sure how to actually implement it. Below is a picture of my timeline: What my problem is that the buttons for navigating my pages (bio, news, projects, links, etc.) are nested inside of my Navigation MC (on the Navigation layer) and so they appear in the timeline (at frame 20) before my content does (frame 70). Because of this, the buttons can't be aimed at the content because their code is run before the content even exists.
I'm guessing that what I need to do is to instantiate my content at a point in the timeline before the navigation/buttons occur... but as the content is the last part of my loading animation, I'm not sure how to do that. I read something about adding the MC's but keeping them invisible, then making them visible again at teh appropriate time, but I don't know how to do that or if it would somehow mess with my animation (everything fades in one item after the other, with the content being the last part).

I am creating a point and click game using buttons to move through the timeline. I am using AS3 and am not used to it because I used to use AS2.
Here is my script:
intro.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickHandl er1);
function clickHandler1 (event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("one");
[Code].....
It works for the first button, but an error comes up for the next button:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at skunk_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

I have a scrollPane on my Stage and I have it linked to a movieClip containing a series of images that have been converted to buttons. Everything works fine, except I can't seem to figure out how to get the buttons to link to the main timeline. All I want is them to gotoAndPlay ("frameLableOnTheMainTimeline"). (I am using AS3)I tried a standard on Click eventListener, but am unsure of the syntax to make it go back to a specific frame on the main timeline.

I'm dealing with this line of action-sript (which I'm new to) for a complex rollover:
--------------
//stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){
prevFrame();
[code]....
In the last line, I want the function to go to a frame in the timeline, not to an outside URL. Shouldn't I just be able to change it to this? (85 is the frame number)
this.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndPlay(85);
}
It's not working?

I have a straight forward flash document where the play head plays from start to finish. The client wants a way to stop and start the animation if time is needed to discuss what is happening on screen. Simple buttons can easily do this if those buttons are not nested.
Code:
stopBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onStopClick, false, 0, true);
playBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onPlayClick, false, 0, true);
stopBtn.buttonMode = true;
[Code]....
However, if I make a mouse over pop up movie clip button and place those button inside it, they do not work. I can not find the piece of code that will link these nested buttons back to the main time line.

I have a button symbol in the Library that I want to use *later* in the movie (i.e. not on frame 1!). When I get to frame 50 in my movie I want to stop the timeline and have the button appear at that point but not before. At the moment there is nothing else in my movie apart from an instance of the button named 'button01' placed at frame 50 on its own layer, a stop action on the timeline at frame 50 and the following code on frame 1[code]...
Is there something I must do to instantiate the button before I can use it later in the movie? I don't want to have to put it on the stage at frame 1 and make it alpha=0 as I saw suggested somewhere else I'd like the button to appear only when I need it.

So ive been asked to build a page for a real state company and the guy told me it should be similar to these [URL] Ive been trying a couple of weeks so far, but i dont seem to find a way to do somthing similar, i mean, i want to have the welcome screen as those two:
- the gradient background
- flash occupies whole screen no matter what size it is
- gradient expands sideways infinately
- no matter what height my explorer window is, gradient is always in the same position relative to top, and if i keep expanding downwards the background keeps last colour of the gradient.
- the brand logo looks as if it had top, left and right anchors, and it also limitates the minimum width of the explorer window
i though of addind a 3000 x 3000px square with the gradient and centering it, but i know there has to be a professional way of achieving that.

I am not simply trying to contain things and have the container resize without the contents resizing. I would just use a simple MovieClip for that.. My main focus is on the use of BitmapFill. I'm trying to make a repeating background image for a container; thus far I'm able to draw my BitmapFill sprite to the size I want. (Which is the stage's height) but when the stage is resized, I want to re-size my container but have my containers BitmapFill crop or add more as the window is resized bigger or smaller. Allow me to illustrate what I mean:
I've got a simple rectangle sprite that fills with a bitmap from the library and a simple resize handler function that detects when the window has been resized.what I would like to do is have my rectangle resize to the height of the stage.stageHeight maintaining its bitmap fill, but not resizing the bitmap fill or any children within the sprite.
From what I've read, this is a little tricky because the sprite resizes in relation to what it contains.. or.. something like that.. I really don't know any more.. I saw one example where a person extended the sprite class but I don't know why or how..
in my library there is an image called 'pattern' and my code looks like this:
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler, false, 0, true);
