Im currently trying to code the Login and Register buttons on the main screen of an app prototype to lead to certain frames.The code im using is below, i know this will be an easy fix for most of you,a compile error stating that it expects 2 arguments is coming up.[code]
View 2 RepliesI have a problem that's new for me.....When I test the following code inside of Flash, everything works well. When I publish the movie, and test it, I find that one of the functions doesn't work the way it worked (highlighted in the code).

I started a tutorial that didnt have part 3 and have struggled changing the code but still cant get my stop button to work with this - loading in sound file.
instance of stop is: stop_mc and of play: buttonPlay. Both are on stage on the same layer, with actions on the other layer in the only keyframe. actually I only have one song so dont need the var, but just want only to see the play button at the start, and once activated and playing only see the stop button. etc

I am not sure why they are not wroking but I have converted the buttons to th button symbol.
View 11 RepliesOkay, so I've got a website I've been working on. I've finally figured out how to get the buttons to work, BUT, now, they're taking me to the wrong scene.like, say, it should take me to Scene 4, it takes me to Scene 2
View 8 RepliesI have created a flash website in cs4 using AS2. I have 2 layers in my time line, content and AS. I created scenes along the time line and labeled each scene "about" "contact" etc.Each scene is 10 frames long and has the stop action applied to it. The gotoAndPlay command is applied to each button within the scene and I have used the folowing action on the buttons to link the pages:on (release) {gotoAndPlay("scenename");}This does link the pages however if i hit any of the buttons twice, it directs me to the wrong page. For example if I hit the home button twice, it will direct me to the about page. Should I be targeting a frame within the scene also?
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to make a dynamic menu. I load four buttons to the stage and applie code to each of the buttons. But it's only the last button loaded, that responds to onRollOver/onRollOut If I roll over the other buttons it's the last buttons that reacts all the time. I just can't see what's wrong. I'm sure it pretty simple. Here's the code:

Say I have a symbol MyButton, as a button with the 4 special frames. When you mouse-over/mouse-out an instance, I'd like another object to be affected... text in some text box changing, or the item becoming visible, or similar. I know AS3 but I'm a real noob at CS3. I don't really get how actions work in CS3.
View 5 Replieshow do you link(code) your swf pages to each other (through buttons) when making a flash site or portfolio?
View 5 RepliesI have a pre built flash navigation menu. I am trying to add a getURL code to the buttons. The code looks like this:
function butnClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
if (event.target.num == 0) { // For the 1st button:
// Add your button click actions here[code]............
Im getting syntax errors and I know its wrong but thats the only way I know how to write it so far.
I am building a image presenter in Flash with as3 but i need a piece of code to make the two buttons work correctly. The code i have is as2 and i get 10 errors using it.[code]

So I have 10 buttons, and I would like them to all do similar actions, but I was wondering if it's possible to optimize the code somehow.
When you rollover the button I would like it to alpha IN, and then when you rollout I'd like it to alpha OUT. Lastly, onPress I'd like to go to a different keyframe in the scene.[code]...
I would like the code or links to the code to help me make buttons and plain text to navigates to various pages in a flash site.

View 1 RepliesWe all know that you can make a frame lable in a movie clip and call it on press,rollOver ect...
_root.some_mc.gotoAndPlay("scene1") - won't play
on (press){
_root.some_mc.gotoAndPlay("scene1") - will play
}
My question is how to get the line of code to run without and buttons. I have made a few sites and never had to do this. I have tried making a function. But to no avail. I just want it to load when the frame reads the code..
I have this code that makes a menu with two buttons appear following the mouse when the mouse rolls over a movieClip:
Code:
var imgOptions:menuMC = new menuMC();
//Makes the image options follow the mouse
function showImgOptions (e:Event):void
{
[code]..
The problem is that the buttons are children of imgOptions, and when the mouse is over these two buttons, the movie reacts like the mouse is not over the imgOptions movieclip.
Flash receives the XML, but the values are wrong. How do I fix this? Problem I can see the XML loaded with no errors, but my output is way off. It's as though it's not receiving any values. Numbers in the output window and animation move rapidly. The Flash file runs as if it's variables where set to zero. I changed the order of my code, but that didn't help with this. how I can correct this.
[Code]...
your problem is that you're calling myLoader.load() and adding an event listener to wait for the xml to finish loading, but you're then immediately setting var delay:uint = 0; and var repeat:uint = 0; and starting the timer. you can see this in your results by the 1, XML, 2, 3, 4 output. the load call is asynchronous so it returns immediately. you need to wait until your processXML function is called before proceeding to the next step.
I'm using CS5 flash professional to build a swf. I have it publishing to flash 8, actionscript 2. but it will only work with browsers that have 10.1+ plugins, no matter what I try. is there something really obvious that I'm missing? Edit: I'm using swfobject.embed. it looks like this: swfobject.embedSWF("/foo.swf", "myContent", "400", "300", "9.0.0", "/foo.swf", flashvars);
View 2 Repliesim using the following code:
stop();
btn_arrow_TL.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,l1top);
function l1top(l1:Event)
{
gotoAndPlay("left_flyout_play_1st");
[Code]...
The first two buttons (btn_arrow_TL and btn_arrow_RL) work... but btn_Home will not work.... it shows up just a few frames later in the timeline, but why would this have any effect on it working or not??? The ActionScript runs the whole length..
I already made some buttons that I was planning on using as a menu for difficulty, easy,medium, hard. The buttons are already made with all the states and graphics, so I wanted to add an event listener so that when you click a button for example easy, if the medium button was at its hit state I would revert it back to up, eg:easyButton.addEventListenere(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(e:event) { mediumButton.gotoAndStop("up") or mediumButton.up
but then I realized there is no propertie or function in the simpleButton class to change the state of the button, I know I can make a movieclip, and do gotoAndStop at the up frame, but is there a way to make it work as a button???
I have a project I've been working on that, when properly coded, has a "main menu" with 4 "doors" (buttons). When the corresponding buttons to these "doors" are clicked, it should go to and play an external .swf file.If that doesn't make sense, think of a DVD menu. You click play movie, it plays the movie. When the movie is over, there's two buttons on that swf file to either play the movie over or go back the main menu, which is an external .swf file (Remember, we go to the movie from the menu, which is a seperate file). So far, the buttons work. The menu works. However, from the movie, at the conclusion, when I click the button to go back to the main menu, it displays the movie clip and the buttons, but none of the buttons work. I'm starting to think it has to do with the fact the main menu was written in AS3 and the movie was made in AS2. If anyone can assist me in being to able to keep both files and still navigate between the two, being able to bring up the menu from the movie and be able to play the movie again, and so on and so on. Here's the code for main menu, which I guess acts as the parent file, and the movie. If I get this to work, I essentially would duplicate the same actions for the other 4 doors, once I complete the environments for them.
Main.Fla/Swf (written in AS3)
(This is the action on the first frame, that has all the buttons. For this question, I'm just trying to properly code for 'Door4', which is the "door" to the movie.)
import flash.display.Loader;
stop();
var myLoader1:Loader=new Loader ();[code].....
Is it possible to write code that so when you hit a "next" button, it tells a movie clip to move so far each time it is hit? Same as with the "prev" button moving the opposite way.
View 1 RepliesThis code generates buttons (MC's actually) which get a name and a url from a XML file. The problem is that the url assigned to the buttons is the same for all buttons, namely the last entry of the XML file. I can't seem to figure it out.Here's the XML file:
Code:
<buttons>
<button title="Google">http://www.google.be</button>

I have a navigation bar with a series of buttons on it. When you rollover any other these buttons there is and action on them saying :
on (rollOver) {
this.gotoAndPlay("over");
}
on (rollOut) {

Now I want to create some AS that when a button is click and disabled and then the user clicks on another button all buttons will reset themselves and play "out" if they were previously clicked (enabled=false)So in the end I am just looking to say "Hey flash if a button 1 is clicked and disbaled and then button 2 is click then button 1 needs to enabled itself and play "out".
Now I'm working on a Website which contains a XML Carousel Gallery, with the coding below.Now this all happens on the homepage. I would like to stop the xml on other frames though. Is there any coding I can use on my Buttons, to stop the XML working while going to another frame?
stop();
var folder:String = "thumbnails/";// a folder for thumbnail files + an XML file
var total:Number;
var radiusX:Number =180;
var radiusY:Number = 10;

I have a flash file that a customer has sent me that needs changing. (It is a flash website header with links to the site pages and a logo above. I have deleted the logo above) One of the problems is the size. I would like to half the size of the document as there is a lot of white space in the top half where I am going to add a static logo to a webpage (with these flash site links below). When I open Flash CS4 and click Modify > Document..., I can change the height dimensions but the white background changes but the whole of the flash movie is now under the document.
How can I change the possition of either the rest of the document or the background of the document to fit under my movie so that the whole document displays as a flash movie at the correct size? Another problem that I am having is changing the links in the template to the page names that I am using on the site. I don't seem to be able to even find the buttons to make the changes. What ever I do to view them I can't 'see' them when scrolling the time line but when I export or preview the movie all the elements are there.
