I've got a question concerning a button on my site but I can't get it to work. This is my code and I've tried to put
ActionScript Code:
logo_mc.buttonMode = true;
on several places
[Code] .....
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?
View 1 RepliesI'm having a pblm. when it comes to enabling a button(s) on/off I have a file; that with Adam14 and Scotty's help, I have working the way I want (swaping _X/_Y values), but when the button is cliked I want to disable it, untill another button is clicked... then enable it, and so on.
I thought of setting _global flags inside the buttons but then you actually have to click them twice to trigger the flags???? so then I took those flags out of the buttons and put them onto a container movieclip that looks something like this:

I'm creating a christmas calendar in flash, where naturally the movieclips representing days should be activated based on the day of the month.
I'm successfully passing the variable to flash in PHP ( I know because I used a textfield to see if the variable existed.) Then, in a external .as that is loaded after the variable is accepted I have the following code.
Code:
for(var i:Number =1; i< dagens; i++){
aLuker[i] = eval("nummer"+i);
aLuker[i].onRelease = function():Void {
[Code]....
This code is supposed to enable the clips "nummer1, nummer2, ... nummer24". I know that the aLuker[i] = eval("nummer"+i) assignment of the movieclips is correct, as I use the same method earlier in my script to set the text in a textfield inside the movieclip.
What actually happens is that although the variable exists in Flash (as a _global even) flash ignores it and enables all the movieclips.
I've done some searches on Google and have found some useful information, but nothing to restrictive to AS3. Does anyone have any good references for enabling the back button in AS3?
View 7 RepliesI'm trying to make this script work which has a function to enable buttons.
// This script is on a seperate layer frame:
// webnav, iden, adv, mult are instances of MCs
btns = [webnav, iden, adv, mult];
MovieClip.prototype.enableBtns = function(btns) {
[code]....
The buttons disable but just don't enable again when other buttons are clicked.The button instances are on the path: _root.navbtns_mc.
I'm looking to find the most efficient way of enabling a button ONLY after two other buttons have been selected. I've made the following radio type buttons in as3.[code]I'm trying to make the code follow something like this:[code]I only need one item from each of the lists to be true, not all of them.
View 2 RepliesI've been creating my first complex buttons and there're some details I haven't solved yet. How do I disable a button after being clicked and how do I re-enable it after clicking another button? I've come across this "removeEventListener" and tried it but I can't seem to work it out...
Here's my code so far:
aempresa.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,btnOver);
aempresa.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,btnOut);
aempresa.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickAempresaToGoToWebPage);

I have a list with a dataprovider, it lists out buttons encapsulated in an item renderer. All I want it to do is have a skin that it changes to when it is clicked. I can get this to happen, but then it just goes back to its up state. I want it to stick on the down state, which I have to do by disabling the button.
So I tried this:
buttonList.selectedItem.enabled = false;
for(var i:Number = 0; i< buttonList.numChildren; i++)

how to load an external swf into my main timeline. As far as I understand this main timeline is the "parent". Hence the loaded, external swf should be the "child" (a quiz).Now the child (a quiz) loads into the flash file and is played properly, but I cannot access the button on the parent anymore. Unfortunately, I really need the home button on the parent to exit the quiz and allow for new navigation within the flash document.
my AS3 Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;function onClick611 (event:MouseEvent) :void{ gotoAndPlay("home_einf")}home_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick611);
import flash.net.URLRequest; import flash.display.Loader;import flash.events.Event; import flash.events.ProgressEvent;

i am wondering from this code, it makes the stage full screen, does it also makes the content of my movieclips scaled to full screen? i have tried this code and it does not seem to do that, how can i make my content to scale to fill a stage's full screen? i have a Movieclip containing a background with a class to make special effects on the background, i am having trouble making the background be "fullscreened" nicely with the stage.
View 1 RepliesYou know normally when you are on a stage and then you click into on movieclip on the stage you see the other stage items faded out still and can edit the specific movieclip you are in, like soo.the normal mode for clicking on symbol on the stage.you can still see the faded stage elements in the background.screen1.jpg (30.81 KiB) Viewed 454 times
View 1 RepliesI wanted to make a video player that has normal mode and fullscreen mode. The part I am having trouble understanding is how to handle the video once it gets set to fullscreen. Do I just use the current video or do I get a high quality version of the video to show during fullscreen mode? What would be best practice for this situation?

View 3 RepliesI have a custom cursor movieClip that changes depending on which side of the screen its on in my Flash application. This works fine, and even when the Flash test window is resized. However when going to fullscreen mode, it stops working. This code is called every frame, so shouldnt the stageWidth/stageHeight adjust accordingly when going to fullScreen mode?

I'm trying to get my new character system working with my fairly simple physics system. I have code at the bottom of the page which demonstrates my collision function. The most important line, which I've bolded, is:
Code:
currentPlayer.y = hitBlock.y - ((hitBlock.height * 0.5) + (avatar.height * 0.5)) ;
I wrote this myself, all logic dictates that it should work. We start with the position of the centre of the block. We add half of it's height, to reach the top surface of the block. And then we add half the avatar's height, which should give the exact point to put him at so that his feet touch the top of the block. This code should be able to account for any arbitrary heights of block or avatar. But it's not working, my avatar is stuck just a little bit inside the block.As far as I'm aware, my math is perfect. So the only source of the problem I can think of is in the objects themselves. I'm not fully sure what the registration point is - logic would dictate that it's the recognised root point of the object, and when I tell an object to go to a coordinate, I would guess it's moved so that point rests exactly on the coords.I'm not entirely sure how to change it though.When I look at my movieclip in edit mode, it look like this.
The image has been downscaled so it's tricky to see the details, but I want to draw attention to the fact that there's three points of interest on it. Around the middle of the bounding box is a white circle,I think that's the registration point. A bit above that, on the figure's upper torso, is a crosshair. And to the topleft of the bounding box, just outside of it, is a second crosshair.What's also interesting is that when I deselect the movieclip, the white circle and the second crosshair (outside the BB) vanish. But the one on his chest stays put.If I move the movieclip, all three of the above things go with it. I can select the circle and drag it around, but not the crosshairs.my collision code:
Code:
//if main hits a block, then stop jumping
//this loop will check a hit test with any block
for(var i:int = 0;i < world.blockHolder.numChildren; i++)[code]............
I'm trying to work out how to trigger a fullscreen on a movieclip from a button/AS-code in the parent. In the parent, I have a button that calls the function toggleFullScreen(), and here is the AS-code;

Stage.scaleMode= StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT;

I'm trying to follow along with a basic animation tutorial online using ActionScript. It mentions to switch to expert mode from normal mode, but says that to do this, I need to click on a blue arrow with a box around it(which I don't see anywhere)? Where would I click to switch to expert mode? Is expert mode needed to animate certain things(I'm working with a movie clip)?
View 1 RepliesThis is hard to explain. Basically the user needs to choose their sex and type in their name then press the continue button. The gender selection is a bathroom identificationesque picture of a girl and boy. The boy is blue and the girl is pink. When you roll over the boy, it becomes a lighter blue and when you roll over the girl it becomes a lighter boy.
What I don't know how to do is that when you click on the boy, it stays a lighter blue, and lighter pink for the girl. That way they can see what selection they made. Also, when you click the boy then click the girl, the girl will become highlighted and the boy no longer will be (so you can only choose one gender). How do I do this? And how do I tell the program to store the info for later use? (when gender is important). I know that this type of action is used often in games so hopefully someone can help me.
When I import flv video on Flash CS4, I have a option to choose a skinning. When I choose SkinUnderAll, a lot of contorl buttons are available including full screen mode button. However, it does not include movie mode button. I am not exactly sure if it is called movie mode button. When you press it, a video clip will be displayed in center and surrounding area become transparent black. How can I obtain such a button?

I have a small problem with my fullscreen mode.It enters fullscreen mode nicely when the user click on a button and exit as well when you press the"esc" key (which is the standard). is there a way to track when i exit the full screen because i want to make some MovieClip to re appear at their initial position.
View 1 RepliesI have a flash file that loads an external flv file and cuepoints through an XML. The cuepoints trigger a dynamic button with text field to appear for about 5 seconds on the stage. When clicked the button changes its message to "You clicked button 1". This works without a problem in normal mode, but in Full_Screen the event for the dynamic button doesnt trigger. All the other static buttons work without a problem. Static buttons include play, pause, and full screen.[code]
View 1 RepliesI have a movie clip button with a dynamic text field inside.I am loading dynamically to the stage while a video is running in the background.I also have a fullscreen button (Flash component)on the stage. After clicking the fullscreen button and in Full_Screen mode the static buttons including the full screen button work without a problem, but the dynamic button seems not to work at all. Basically the dynamic button when clicked should change its message to "You have clicked button 1".This works in normal mode, but not in Full screen.I tried btn_cuePt_1.enabled= true; but without success.Does it have something to do with not using the fullscreen events?
exp. stage.addEventListener(FullScreenEvent.FULL_SCREEN,

Is there a way to switch in a full screen mode without a button?
I tried like this but it's not working:

I have created a button symbol which consists of a rounded rectangle with text on top. After adding two filters (bevel and glow), I went to edit the symbol. However, in the editing screen, I can't seem to access the filters; they don't show up in the properties panel when the button is selected. I'd like to change the glow color for the Over and Down states.

I have a movie clip button with a dynamic text field inside. I am loading the mc dynamically to the stage. In Full_Screen mode static buttons including the full screen button work without a problem, but the dynamic button event does not trigger when clicked. In this simplified code belwo the dynamic button when clicked should change its message to "You have clicked button 1". This works in normal mode, but not in Full screen.I tried btn_cuePt_1.enabled= true; but without success.
Does it have something to do with not using the fullscreen events?
exp. stage.addEventListener(FullScreenEvent.FULL_SCREEN, s_function)
Structure of my button is: Think of it as three layers inside a movie_clip. I used an empty button on the top layer so I would get a pointer cursor, I used a dynamic textfield the one that should change after the event to "You have clicked button 1", and last but not least the button graphic.

PHP Code:
//global variables
var btn_cuePt_1;
//file definitions
