Baisically I've created a button using symbol and I want the button to move a movie clip up the y axis by 4 every time it is clicked (move the movie.) I really don't know how to do this. This is what I currently have but its not ActionScript:
[Code]...
I have a Movie Clip with two key frames. One Button sits on key frame 1 and changes its position in frame 2 (its instance name remains the same.) The Movie Clip is created dynamically and placed on the stage via code, then mouse click listeners are added to the button. My question is this: When the Movie Clip transfers from fram1 to frame 2, will I need to add the listener back to the button? In addition, I noticed that when I use key frames to move a Graphic Object, sometimes the object behaves like a singe object that is moved and sometimes it behaves like several objects that are created and destroyed in different locations.
View 2 RepliesAfter figuring out that removeMovieClip won't work on objects with negative depth numbers, I've run into another stumbling block in some menu generation code I'm working on.For the most part, my menu code is complete, and functional. However I've been trying to clean up some of the display methods to make it a nicer and smoother interface.
When you rollover a menu item, a submenu appears. This submenu consists of a number of items. Let's pretend we have this MAIN MENU > SUBMENU > ITEM 1, ITEM2, ITEM 3.ITEM 1, ITEM2, and ITEM 3 are nested in SUBMENU. For example, the full path for ITEM 1 is _level0.mainmenu.submenu.item1.
SUBMENU itself consists of a background object and the item objects. The items all have event handlers assigned to them. onRollOver highlights a selection, onRollOut unhighlights the selection, onRelease jumps to the appropriate Movie Clip.
What I would like to do is assign an onRollOut event to SUBMENU that collapses the menu on a mouse roll out event. It works, however, when I do this, the event handlers of the nested ITEMs become nonfunctional. Is it not possible for parent and child movie clips to both have onRollOut events assigned to them? Or is there something else I'm missing?
I want to clone an object of a class (whose source code I do not have) and copy all of the associated event handlers from the original object to the new cloned object. Does anyone know how I can do that? I know how to copy the properties from the original to the new, but can I iterate over all the event handlers and add them to the new object?

is there a way to make it change when the movie clip is clicked or is it only possible on a button? i want to use a movie clip because my "button" animates when the mouse hovers over it.

how to keep a Movieclip Btn 'Over State' to stay in the over position until another button is clicked?
View 1 RepliesAnyway what I need to do is have a movie clip finish playing when a button is clicked and then go to the frame label associated with the button. I hope I'm explaining myself ok. So if I had say 4 buttons Home Gallery About Contact If Contact is clicked then I want the Home page to play (Which is a fade out) and then go to Contact Page (which will fade in). Then If Gallery is clicked then I want Contact to fade out and then go to Gallery page and fade in.
View 6 RepliesOn looking into buttons, I understand that to get a movie clip to play when a button is clicked you simply place the movie clip on the buttons 'hit' state. Having done this it does not work? Have I read wrong? Also the movie clip has a background the full size of the stage area. So when I attach this to the button, the button changes size to the same size as the movie? (i.e. whole stage area). How do I keep the button in it's original size while still playing the movie clip with large background?
View 2 RepliesIm trying to load a movie clip when a button is clicked
heres the actionscript im using
on (release) { this._parent.loadMovie("Video.swf", "holder", 1); holder._x = 611; holder._y = -92;}
i want the swf to load into the holder MC, instead its loading the video.swf file and replacing the original swf
When you click on a button it loads the movie clip that is on the main timeline. What I want to be able to do is when you click on another button the movie clip that you are on reverses and the new movie clip loads up.

I'm using a movie clip as a button to show content on a page, effectively its like a new page of the website. Problem is, with the script im using for it, once the content is show, the button is still active and if clicked again, will re-load the content. I want a way to effectively disable the button whist the content is shown.
this.services_inner.buttonMode = true;
this.services_inner.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, rollOver_services);
this.services_inner.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick_services);

I want to play a movie clip when I click a button.I made 3 states: inicial (how it looks before anything happens) (up)hover (plays an animation after waiting 20 frames) (over)click (plays an animation right away) (down)I placed these movie clips inside of my button's up, over, and down frames. This works great except when I click, i'll need to click and hold for my animation to get past the first frame.

View 13 RepliesI'm having trouble telling flash which Sprite to move in my script:
[code]....
TimeBlock and TimeHandle are really just classes that draw rectangles. My script (as seen here) will move the last instance of timeHandle added. If I un-comment the other new TimeHandle() section though, it will only apply it to one of them.
Ordinarily I would use event.target, but I have to use the stage as the listener for MOUSE_MOVE and MOUSE_UP. If I was doing this in PHP or even AS2 I would just pass an argument like reposition(clipname).

I've built a carousel that moves a set amount with button presses, and when the movement stops the item at the front of the carousel enlarges and becomes a button. However, when the carousel is moved to the next item, the previous still stays behaves like a button. Is there any way to remove the event handler from the movieclip?

View 16 RepliesI've created a movieclip button where on release the button moves and grows into the background of my content. The problem is that if the mouse does not hover over the button while it is moving, the movieclip does not play all the way through.
I have come up with two solutions to the problem but i need help developing the coding for them.
The first option being to freeze the the cursor in its position until the clip is fished playing through.
The second option is to come up with a coding that allows the clip to play through independent of the movement of the cursor.[code]...
I am wondering how to correctly reference child/parent movie clips when creating event handlers? I have a button within a movie clip, which is within a movie clip.This is what my handler looks like right now:
this.DropMenus.DMSeats.ButtonSeats.addEventListener("click",SeatsOver) ;
The button instance name is ButtonSeats Problem is, I get this:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
Also, if I were to move the vent listener directly into the movie clip where the button is located, how could I reference the parent/ parent timeline(the main timeline)? Am I correct to understand that .this refers only to the current clip?
i have 2 movieclips: i want to move both of them but the second movie clip will only move if the first clip reach his final destination how do i do that?
View 2 Replieshave two sets of movie clips. I'm communicating to these movie clips with another program via binary sockets. For the first set of movie clips: when it recieves its instance name, and a second number (InstanceName+#) from the socket, the named movie clip will jump to the frame corresponding with that number. for ex: if the incoming data from the socket is (mc7+3), then movieclip 7 will jump to frame 3.
For the second set of movie clips: when it recieves its instance name, and a second number (InstanceName+#) from the socket, the named movie clip will move location across the screen, by the y coordinate moving to the # given by the socket...thats a little confusing. for ex: if the incoming data from the socket is (mc4+500), then movieclip 4 will move so that it's y coordinate is at 500.
Here is my code:
Code:
var socketBuffer:String = "";
s.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA, onDATA);
function onDATA(e:ProgressEvent):void{

i got rid of some errors. the first part is working where the movie clips jump to the frame they are told to so no errors there. but when i try to move the movie clips in reference to the FADER array, (along the y axis) nothing happens. (look at bold part of code)
theres also another method i'm willing to approach but i'm not sure how to go about it. rahter than using the FADER array, I would rewrite the code for each individual movie clip, so that it says "if incomign data names a movie clip and gives a number, change the named movie clip's y coordinate to the incoming number"
I'm trying to grasp how functions and motion tweening works.
Heres my question. How do i make an object move along the y axis once it has reached its x axis target?
HEre is the code, that i got from here.
and what in this code is making the MC ease out?[code]...
I want to move an object along the x axis continuously after a button is pressed until the object reaches a point. How can I achieve this?

I am trying to construct coordinates with distance in meters on the x-axis and time in seconds on the y-axis, without using the timeline. How can I draw the divisions on the x-axis and y-axis ? Or I better draw the whole thing.

On the main timeline, I have placed a movieclip (movieclipone) which contains some content. On frame 85 of movieclipone, there is a new keyframe which contains a movieclip that hasn't previously appeared in the movieclipone timeline, (moviecliptwo) which contains four buttons (btnone, et cetera).Is there a way to have code in the main timeline that attaches listeners to the buttons inside moviecliptwo, which, when pressed, trigger a function that increases a counter and tells movieclipone to go to the next frame? This is the code I am using right now:
stop();

I have a highlighting border that tweens to several buttons with MOUSE_OVER listeners. The MOUSE_OVER listener also increases alpha. A CLICK listener starts a gotoAndPlay function. On MOUSE_OUT, they revert back to lower alpha. However, here is where I would like to have the highlighting border tween to the last clicked button. Here's what I have so far:
Code:
homeButton.alpha = .75;
portfolioButton.alpha = 0.75;
aboutButton.alpha = 0.75;
