I am developing a multiple choice question answer. I have a movie clip in frame 2 where the radio buttons and question choices are displayed.I am trying to define a event for the radio button in the movie clip's first frame. But i show questions in random order. Say for example the first question to show is fifth I move the movieclip to 5th frame. The event is not firing since it is declared in the first frame.

Should i place the button event code in each and every single frame or is there anyother option for this.
View 2 RepliesI created a simple button that displays an error messeage: "error opening 'url" when I test the movie, but does play and opens in browser after publishing. However, it won't open in the browser in a different location. I pasted the html code in a web page but it doesn't work there nor opens in the browser in a differnet location from where it was originally published and saved. Why is that?
View 13 RepliesAlright, so I've been struggling with this one since last night. When I create a new object (a new unit), and draw it to the screen (Flash does all the work there), the point at which it's first placed is considered its origin. That is, getX and getY will return the distance from that point... Why is that? Or how can I stop this?

Lets say I am working on some basic shooting game that involves lots of moving enemies. The enemies all come from one class that extends movieclip.
I want the enemies to move 10px downwards every frame. At the moment I know of two ways of doing this:
The first is to run a single onEnterFrame function on the main timeline, this function loops through all of the enemies on the screen calling a function in the enemy class that contains "x+=10".
The second is to put the onEnterFrame function inside the constructor function of the enemy class that would then contain the "x+=10".
Both give the same result but is one less work for the computer than the other? The first has a big loop that accesses all of the enemies, the second has an "onEnterFrame" running for each of the enemies.
I'd been working on a side-scrolling shooter game in AS2 for a while and it was going great, but for whatever reason, it scrolls all choppy and the framerate is inconsistent on faster machines. I would have expected the opposite, but it is what is is, I guess. So I'm trying to finally learn AS3, and I found some tutorials that got me started towards remaking what I had, but now I'm stuck.I'm trying to make one of those rotating cannons that shoots projectiles towards the mouse cursor. I have the rotation part working, but I'm having trouble with attaching the projectiles to the stage with enterFrame actions on them.I feel like I'm pretty close to a solution, but I don't understand where to put the functions to move the clips to make them work properly. In AS2, I just put something like this on the cannon clip:
Code:
bullet = _root.attachMovie("bullet", "bullet"+_root.bullets, _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:nozzledot.pointx, _y:nozzledot.pointy});

I have a problem where I have declared an onRollOver event handler on frame 5. I also have a button on frame 4 telling flash to go to frame 5.But, if the mouse is already over the movieclip on frame 5, the rollover event will not play.Is there a way to force this onRollOver or another workaround for this?
View 1 RepliesI have a few swf's that are loaded into a base file using levels. These clips can be cycled through by means of a setInterval function or when the user clicks the next or previous button. However, when the user hovers over a defined 'hit' area which is ultimately a blank movie clip, the setTimeout call is then canceled. This works fine, except that now the 'hit' clip - being above everything - prevents the movies below accepting hit states, and if I move it to below everything else, when one mouses over any element in the loaded movie, it then acts as though the user has mouse out of the hit area.
Is there any way to have this 'hit' clip do its job simply by determining if the mouse is over it, but without using an onRollOver function or equivalent?

I have a banner with big invisible button covering the stage and underneath it I have movieclips which must respond to mouse events. But I can't get through invisible button. I only get button events and cant interact with movieclips underneath it. Here's simple code:

bottomMc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onBottomOver);
function onTopClick(e:MouseEvent):void{

In the library, I have a movie clip - DraggableButton that has OnPress with StartDrag with parameters and OnRelase with StopDrag. I have a slider with this Draggable button and a bar to slide the button on. I also have two movie clips Clip1 and Clip2. In my main movie I have two instances MC1 and MC2 of Clip1 an Clip2. I have an instance of the Slider. I want to set the _alpha property of MC1 and MC2 depending on the location of the button on the slider.
I think I need to save the location (_x) of the button on the slider in a variable in the OnRelease even of DraggableButton and use this variable in the SetProperty method. I need to know in which event and which object's event should I use the SetProperty method. Or if what I am thinking is not correct what do I need to do?
have button listener code on main timeline: Code: endPanel.playAgain.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playAgain); which lets my button within a clip call a function (function is on main timeline as well) later, that clip advances through its frames and the button seems to be losing it's listener code. the button still has the same instance name and is persistent throughout the clip. why is it only recognizing the code when the clip is on the first frame? You would assume that an instance name would retain it's listener code throughout the timeline no?

View 8 RepliesWhen a user rolls over an HTML button, I need that button to tell Flash to go to frame 2. I looked at the Flash Help for the addCallback() and followed their example to use javascript to influence Flash without any success even though I followed it to the letter.

I want to make a button that makes you got to a random frame within a certain range (eg frame 41-50) when you press it. I have tried various codes but so far no luck. Im using AS 2

I set up a simple Flash banner with the following code to click through to a web page:
function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { navigateToURL(new URLRequest("**URL**")); trace("You clicked me."); }
This worked fine, no problems.However, I was then asked to include a click counter by using this code:
btn.buttonMode = true; btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goOut); function goOut(e:Event){ var url:String = root.loaderInfo.parameters.clickTag; var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(**URL**); try { navigateToURL(request); } catch (e:Error) { } }
I've tried various ways to combine the two events, but it just doesn't seem to work. I'm only used to one simple action at a time.
