ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Button Scripting For Xml Loaded Swf - Call A Button?
Feb 10, 2011
how to call a button. I have a main file ("AS3Build.fla"), which imports an xml file, and imports different swfs depending on which node in the xml is being referenced. One of the swfs("slide_01_03.swf") I'm importing has a button("btn_01_01") that I'm having trouble accessing. First of should the script for the button be in the swf that holds the button, or the main file that will be importing the swf? I've got it in the swf currently with a trace file to see if it's recognizing the click. So far not luck. So I'm starting to think it should be in the main fla, and be referenced something like: this.loader.addEventListener.btn_01_01. This doesn't seem to work either though.

I'm am super new at this, and this is my first time ever using Adobe. I get the "joy" of doing a project in my school using The CS4 Suite. I was playing around and using this book to help me get a button to start an action. I have tried many different codings, but this one gets me the least amount of errors. This is what I have so far:

I have a Flash sitethat I am buiding, and I have all the buttons set up as movieClips so that they can have a more extensive rollover state. I have each page of the site separated into separate scenes. I am just trying to script the movieClips to gotoAndPlay (scene, frame); here is the code I am using:
on (release) {
trace("FAQ");
gotoAndPlay("FAQ","start");
}
"FAQ" being the scene name, and "start" being the frame label. I am just tracing the onRelease to make sure it is getting the right info. It is.

I have a movieClip on my main timeline, that I have scripted as follows:
Code:
//IT Button
this.IT_mc.onRollOver = function ()
{
[Code]....
Basically this just makes the movie clip fade to a different color when rolled over. This works fine, but I also have individual buttons inside the movieclip that don't work. They don't rollover, or activate. As if they weren't really buttons. How do I script the internal buttons to "getURL"? I have tried the standard "on(Release)" format of doing it, and that doesn't work.

I am a main timeline, with a movie clip that I want to loop infinitly, until a button is clicked, once the button is clicked I want it to stop the movie clip timeline, once the button is clicked again I want it to start the movie clip timeline again.
I am not the greatest actionscripter, I understand it I just have a bit of trouble writing the syntax myself.

I am looking for a script that would say that when one button is pressed it brings you to a certain frame and that a button on that frame is pressed. I am making new links to an already created site, it was not done with frames but rather has a series of movieclip buttons that make related info appear. Now I have new frames that will link to that info. I can get to the right frame by inputting
arru_btn.onPress function() {
gotoAndStop(5)
but I need to have a movieclip button (arru_txt) on that frame to be pressed so that the info that goes with the link appears as well. Is there a way to do this?

I'm having trouble simulating a click call to a button(displayObject) thats generated via an API call( youtube as3 API). I have not seen any mention of security reasons as to why I can not simulate a click as long as something is registered with a click handler. Basically I checked to make sure the button made is listening to a mouse click event with:
trace(generatedButton.hasEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK)) which returns true
I proceed to than call this:
generatedButton.dispatchEvent( new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.CLICK, true) );
And nothing happens yet if I physically click the button it works. Is there some security measure that prevents something from being fake clicked unless its origin is strictly from the system mouse?
I even set a timeout call on the click function and moved my cursor over the button and let it fire in case it was an issue of the mouse having to over the object but still nothing. I am kind of stumped at this point.

i am not an action script developer nor flash designer, i just want to have a small action script sample that i will edit a little to make it interact with my javascript code. By the way, i want to have a button and a label on a flash form, when the user clicks on this button the onclick event will call another function 'setText for example' this setText() function will change the label text. So i think the code will be something like this:
[Code]....
I managed to put the button and the label i want just the code i will write to make this work.

I have a slideshow that loads image files with the BulkLoader class from here. When the first image is loaded completely, it gets added to a MovieClip container to add it to the stage.. and it gets displayed fullscreen, but only if a button is clicked:
fullScreenButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showFull);
function showFull(e:MouseEvent):void {
stage.addChild(mcSlideHolder);
[Code]....
This works fine unless the fullScreenButton is clicked before the image is loaded completely, then of course nothing is visible. How do I get button click event that calls showFull() to wait until the image is loaded/added to the container or how can I add it again? What is a possible/the best approach?
I tried dispatching a custom event "firstImgAdd" that adds the image again to the container when the fullScreenButton is clicked, as well as with a try/catch block or even a simple if condition but none of them worked, meaning the image does not get added to the container after it has finished loading when the button is clicked too early.

I am trying to access a button inside an external swf file that I loaded. Problem is every time I try to access this button I get an error saying that it's null!
Here is my code:
public class DocumentClass extends Sprite
{
public var loader:Loader;
public var swfFile:URLRequest;
[Code].....
Now this should work, code-wise I think its correct. The problem is that loader cant find the required button. There is indeed a button in the loaded movieClip with an instance name of "button", I double checked that.
[URL] basically i was just a layer too high and this is why i couldn't access anything..

I have to do a Flash ad in AS 2 with a button that flashes a few times (with a delay) and then stops. I've made this as a movie within a button in the main time line. The only ActionScript in the movie is a stop(); on frame 1, and a gotoAndStop(1) on the last frame. The second frame of the movie is labeled "playShine." In the main timeline on the actions layer, I try to play the movie using:
traceNow_btn.shineNow_mc.gotoAndPlay("playShine");
But the movie won't play. The button name, the movie name, and the frame label are all cut and pasted from the actual instance/label names. (It does play once if I remove the stop() on the first frame, so it must be something about the call that's not working). I've tried substituting gotoAndPlay(2); but that doesn't work either.
