I'm finally getting into AS3 and making a portfolio with left & right (forward & back buttons) This is the code on the actions frame of the main timeline:
stop()
btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, forward);
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, backward);
[code].....
I have a forward and back button that load several images in a sub-folder that load to a UIloader.
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextImage);
function nextImage2(evtObj:MouseEvent):void{
imageNumber++;
[code].....
I looked at the tutorial on gotoandlearn about it, and understood the concept, but it's in as3, and I'm trying to do this in as2.I have it so that the url changes, and the title changes. And when you click on the various buttons on my site..it registers in the browser..but the main purpose I can't get, namely, if someone clicks my about button, i want to trigger the about function.That is easy enough to do in flash, but how can I get it to trigger from the back or forward button. Or if someone goes to URL...I am not getting the key ingredient to make this happen. If I paste in URL...how is it to know to launch the about function?
View 3 RepliesI was trying to accomplish this same effect using actionscript 3.0; (click the forward and back button next to the recent work)[URL] he has made buttons play a movieclip at different points of a timeline...Basically this is what I came up with (see my cooment).
//Flash - go get code that's going to make the tween work... import fl.transitions.Tween;import fl.transitions.easing.*;stop();
//home_mc animation - animate in..var gd_fullsize_01Tween:Tween = new

I am trying to use the BrowserChangeEvent.BROWSER_URL_CHANGE in my application to handle to user click of browser back and forward buttons. However, the event I receive does not contain information about which button (back or forward) was clicked. Is there are way to get this information?A related question: How do I get the URL that would be displayed when the user clicks the back or forward button in the browser? The lastURL contains the information about the current page.
View 1 RepliesIn the continuing evolution of my code, I simply want a button to alternate moving the playhead backwards and forwards along the timeline between frames 1 and 17. This code is not working. I have attached a screen capture to clarify your questions in advance

In ActionScript 3, can I detect when the user has clicked their back or forward hardware buttons on their mouse?

when the menu items are clicked it calls the SWFAddress.setValue( ); which changes the address bar and triggers the event listener: SWFAddress.addEventListener( SWFAddressEvent.CHANGE, swfAddressChange );
this is visible by the textbox in the upper left hand corner, it changes to reflect the value. But when you click the back button, the event SWFAddressEvent.CHANGE is not set off and the result is the textbox staying with the previous value.
as you can see from the html code, the flash Object has an ID, the swfaddress javascript is imported after swfobject. ( using swfobject2.1, swfaddress 2.3 )
the basic idea is i have a forward button and a back button.. I have 3 swf's that i want to load/unload with these buttons..
[Code]...
this is what ive started with for the forward button... as it is now when i click the button it automatically executes the else and loads scene_3.swf so i know i have something wrong.. the idea is that if the viewer is on scene_1.swf hitting forward will load scene_2.swf, if they are on scene_3.swf nothing should happen when they click it as (at this time i only have 3 swfs available, but eventually i will have 8 ) of course i would be using this as well on the back button...
Instead of using a created back button, how do I put the script on the back and forward button on IE Netscape browser buttons?

I need to make the back and forward button that goes to the next/previous block in XML file.
I have an app that makes api calls to a server to send and receive data using the URLLoader Class. There's nothing special about it, it's just a standard call that send variables and receives json. My app also hooks into the back/forward/address bar functionality using JS, for secondary navigation.
I've just been testing and have noticed that if i make a call, then press either back or forward (this is only an issue in safari, it works fine in firefox and chrome), the return call to flash never completes. I've checked Charles and i get this message,
Failure: Client closed connection before receiving entire response
The response itself is a 200, so the call completes on the server, but flash never gets the response? I don't think this can be a scope issue as the loader is queued and dealt with by a manager class, so even though the current view is destroyed, there's no link between that and the URLLoader itself.
If you try navigate around, the url window will change to etc etc and the back and forword button seem to be working also, if you copy and paste the link, the flash will be smart enough to go to the indivual page alsoMy question is s below1) how do we make the back & forward button to work2) how do we contruct the url to be so dynamic

I am publishing video content to FMS with my program to livepkgr application. After i start publishing the vidoe content, files like .bootstrap, .conrol, .f4f and .meta are gettign created inside the livepkgr folder's my stream folder. But when i try to playback via OSMF player, the player is throwing error 1009. This happens for some few minutes. After some 4-5 minutes, the player start playing the live video content properly (.f4f file size is not getting updated for those few 4-5 minutes)
View 2 RepliesAnyways I am using action script 3.0 and I created multiple layers using just one scene. I created a layer with lables on them to mark where I want my buttons to point to and go to. I have the stop (); on the first frame. And I made my buttons mostly interactive with movie symbols and tweens.My first scene I have 2 doors, the user can pick which door to go to and it takes them into a different path.I made the buttons that are clicked to go forward, and then I tried to make an invisible button on the button edge of the scene to go backwards However, the PROBLEM is when I click my button to go backwards I am stuck on the first page and can't move forward.
function gotoOne(evt:Event):void{ gotoAndStop("one")}backbutton1.addEventListener("click",gotoOne);
function gotoFour(evt:Event):void{

I have been working on a tutorial in Flash on the topic of Flash () for two days, and I am just finishing up on a template. I have fixed five bugs, but I cannot think of how to fix this last one. I'd rather actually fix the problem this time, instead of improvising . So, here is what is going on:
I have this thing at the end where you have to enter in the code that I taught the viewer to proceed, then hit the continue button to finish the tutorial. But for some reason, whenever I try to go back with the back arrow, it does, but then I can't go forward with the forward arrow until I reach the first frame that contains actual tutorial ("page" 2). Then it works again. It seems really random, but there is [obviously] a good explanation for it. I thought it might have something to do with the fact that all of the arrows up to the "test" part, excluding the back arrow there, have the exact same instance name. However, "page" 2 is the 2nd time it is used (introduction, then the "page" 2, then 3, 4, 5, and 6, then the test part thing), so it makes less sense that it would work the 2nd time, but not the third, fourth, fifth, or sixth. And I know there's nothing wrong with the code itself:

creating a flip-book in flash (using AS3) . I've looked at the other flip-book programs and editors out there, and none really give the customization that my company wants.I have something working, but the page scoping seems to be off. The pages will turn back and forward with a button click but they flip out of order. However, it all runs fine with no error when the user clicks on the pages themselves. This is the code from the main timeline (where I'm getting an error).
View 6 RepliesError #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
This is the error I cannot seem to understand. On the stage I have a movie clip, mcTree. It's keyframe is in frame 3143. There is no tween or anything. In frame 3144, I have the following actionscript:
mcTree.gotoAndStop(2);
I publish the movie and I get to frame 3144 then BAM TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

As you can tell, I'm more than 3000 frames into my animation here and have made it this far using this method, and it has worked.
Each "date" aka button when clicked advances to its respective named frame. It works fine until I have a section of the timeline with more than one "entry". I use the same naming process as i did for the main sections using a "next >" button and coding it the same way I coded the main buttons but it doesn't work. I get:Type Error: Error #1009. Cannot access a property or method fo a null object reference atTimeline_Sce3_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()I've dragged an instance of the bttn_next onto the stage, given it an instance name, inserted a keyframe into the layer and named the layer to advance to. I know there's something wrong with this button - could this be a flow or inheritance problem? i've commented out the line that throws the error (starts with //btn1974b...). the code reads:
stop();
b1971.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickSecti on);
b1973.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickSecti on);

So my problem here is, I'm working on my Adobe Air project, so I decided to code some buttons to be able to navigate. The problem here is that I get a error for trying to do so. Here is my code.
[Code]...
I do not see what is wrong actually, I tried this on a blank non-AIR file, and it worked well.
In my document class I have the following snippet of code...
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

I also applied a trace statement of "Working?" within the MenuScreen class file and it shows up before the error does! (Even though I don't click on anything...)

I have this on my entre_mc when I double click on my mc I have
//Go to the myspace.com website
myspace_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,gotomyspace);
function gotomyspace(evtObj:Event) :void{
var thesite:URLRequest = new URLRequest("[URL]");
navigateToURL (thesite,"_blank");
}
On my stage timeline on frame 20 I have
var entreTween:Tween = new Tween(entre_mc, "alpha", Regular.easeOut, 0, 1, 2, true);
So that when I click on the interview button it fades in.
Why the following error occurred when the button clicked? The PRStatus button was clicked!

I have a site I'm maintaining that consists of multiple pages that tween in their menus on a single monstrous AS2 timeline. I've broken the timeline into their own swfs that I want to now network with a swf loader and AS3 code. I've kept the timeline tween-ins, after stripping the AS2 code off all buttons. I put the AS3 code on the last frame of the timeline in an .as layer.So on the main page, on the last frame of the animation in an ActionScript layer, I put the following:
Code:
var defaultSwf:URLRequest=new URLRequest("defaultHeadShot.swf");
var swfLoader:Loader=new Loader();
swfLoader.load(defaultSWF);
addChild(swfLoader);

I keep getting the Type 1009 error. I'm trying not to have to rebuild the graphics from the ground up, which it doesn't seem like I will have to do. I think it's probably got something to do with putting all the code at then end of these complex tweening timelines, and that a line of code that offers a scoping cue might be the answer, but I'm stumped.

I am doing a slideshow in Flash. With AS 2, I would create frame labels for each slide with a stop action on each one in the timeline and a button underneath the background with the following script:
on (keyPress "<Right>") {
gotoAndPlay("2");
}
The keyboard right arrow (and left arrow) would move the slideshow forward and backward. I had another button for backward.I'm doing one in AS 3 now (dictated to me) and this script isn't working.
