ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Functional Buttons Stop Working After Reopening Parent Mc?
May 30, 2010
i'm a flash newb, wrestling with actionscript 3 and ran into a problem with a drop down menu.the menu is composed of nested movie clips that open and close, and contain buttons that control a ui loader in scene 1. it seemed to be working all right until i realized that after opening and closing and reopening a submenu, the buttons that worked the first time stopped controlling the ui loader. since there aren't any error messages i'm kind of at a loss as to what needs fixing.

I have a movie which when a button is clicked loads an external movie on top of it (just like a popup I guess). The only prob I am having however is that the buttons on the parent movie are still active and I don't want this to be the case.

I have three buttons and when I click the second one, the first stops working (e.g. no trace event and it won't go back to the frame "tab1") but the third still works. Then when I press the third button both the first and second no longer work. If I take out the gotoAndStop lines, the buttons work fine. The subsequent frames simply have stops on them.
b1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,b1Pressed);b2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,b2Pressed);b3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,b3Pressed);
function b1Pressed(event:MouseEvent){ trace("b1 pressed");

i want to make a sliding panel with 2 buttons on it. The panel pops up from the bottom of the screen when the mouse is hovering over the the bottom 25 pixels of the screen. The panel is set to disappear when the user hovers the mouse off of the panel. At first i just tried to put buttons on the panel and covert the whole thing to a symbol, but then i could not access the individual properties of the buttons. What i tried instead is to make invisible buttons over the area where the image of the buttons were on the panel. The problem is that when now when the user hovers over the button, flash reads it as the mouse leaving the panel and the panel disappears.

I found a cool menu that I'd like to be able to use but right now I don't know how to make the buttons become functional links. If its just a matter of editing the XML only? Or...does something need to be added to the actionscipt as well. I have a hunch both need to be edited and I have already tried various revisions. Below is the link where the example and files can be found. Be aware that if you try to use the actual files you will need an mc tween extension found at [URL].
Here is the XML code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<item nazov="button num 1 "load="" image=""/>
<item nazov="button num 2" load="" image=""/>
<item nazov="button num 3" load="" image=""/>
<item nazov="button num 4" load="" image=""/>

I have 2 main movie clips, one for the menu bar and one for the content, there is then a movie clip within each one of those, one to hold the set of buttons, and one to hold the content movie clips. The menu bar has a control to flip between 2 sets of buttons. the viva content button works fine to begin with, but after the menu bar control is clicked, the content buttons stops working. Code is as Follows: All of the code (bar a few stop() flags on cirtain frames) is located on frame 1 of the root, which is the only frame on the root.
barControl.barContent.barUp.addEventListener(Mouse Event.CLICK, menuSwitchHandle); barControl.barContent.barDown.addEventListener(Mou seEvent.CLICK, menuSwitchHandle); barControl.barContent.barMenu.vivaBtn.addEventList ener(MouseEvent.CLICK, vivaHandle);

I have a SWF with two buttons that both direct users to new URLs. The first frame contains an FLV. During the playing of the FLV, the buttons work fine. When the FLV is complete, the SWF plays, resizing and moving the buttons. During the movement of the buttons I can click them and they work--while moving. But they don't work once the SWF reaches the last frame and stops. I need the buttons to work the whole time, especially at the end. [URL]

My site has a thumbnail gallery that loads larger images that then jump to sections containing flash video. Everything works great when I test my movie and all buttons work. But after clicking on one certain button (my "about" button in the header), all of a sudden the large image buttons stop working and won't jump to the sections. Although they do still display correctly when over, down,ect.

I used kirupas tutorial 'Complex Button RollOver/Rollout Effects' to make a menu that slides down when you roll over it. I have buttons inside that menu_mc - but they dont work.
My question is - does the on enter frame function prevent buttons from working?
Here is the code that is inside my menu_mc:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){
prevFrame();

I have a .fla file that consists of four images that appear, pause a few seconds, and disappear in sequence. Each image has an associated button that links to a different url. There are also four navigation buttons, should someone want to jump to a particular one of the images. My problem is, the navigation buttons use a gotoAndStop action to take the user to a specific frame. After one of those buttons is clicked, the buttons that link to the urls no longer work. They all work fine until a gotoAndStop action is called. The navigation buttons continue to work.

The problem is my buttons stop working after a certain point. Now I think it's because I need some kind of loop somewhere, but I'm not too sure. I've included a trace in the code so I know the button is not working anymore. (At least the function of what I want it to do).

I'm using the action script 3 code below to run my main menu buttons, there are 7 in total. The trouble I have is when a video is playing, the user might not stop a video playing before clicking on another main menu button. So the user could go to a different section with video still playing with the audio etc.
// News
content_mc.news_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, link1);
function link1(Event:MouseEvent):void {
content_mc.gotoAndPlay("news");
}
So I thought I'd write an if statement, that asks if video video is playing then stop(). Trouble is can't get one to work.

I have a container mc called lightBoxCont that I load a class into
Code:
lbx.initLightBox(12, Number(slideIndex), urls, titleText);
lightBoxCont.addChild(lbx);
when the user clicks on a thumbnail the user can close the lightbox by clicking on a button like this
Code:
this.removeChild(lightBoxCont);
This all works (or seems to). If the user then clicks on another thumbnail the light box appears again, but the buttons don't work. These were added in the class lightbox.
Interestingly if I trace teh number of children that lbx has I find that each time the user presses on a thumbnail it goes up. First time its about 30, next time its about 60, next time its 90 and so on.I think this is causing the problem with the buttons not working.

I created a basic slideshow with a Next and Previous button. I attach this code in the first frame of the main timeline:
Code:
stop();
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, moveNext, false, 0, true);
function moveNext(e:MouseEvent):void {nextFrame();}
prev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, movePrev, false, 0, true);
function movePrev(e:MouseEvent):void {prevFrame();}
It works fine, until I get to the last frame of the timeline (10th frame in this case). Then both buttons cease functioning. Why? The listeners should still be working.

I have 2 swf that will be loaded on a website. One suppose to generate a bytearray and being passed over to another swf.
The problem is that when I save the bytearray to a SharedObject in user's local file, the second swf doesn't get the updated variable value from the first swf.
I've set the second swf to retrieve the value every one second and it don't get updated until I reload the page.
I flushed and close the connection to make sure the data is saved on the local path and that is not helping as well.
I also considered using LocalConnection as well but there is a bug in flash player for mac that stopping it to work between swfs on mac. Left me no choice but to use SharedObject for my project.

Well ok so, I've been looking, and I see similar things, but not really going anywhere. And I also can't make it happen at will, it just happens.But often enough to make it really frustratrating and scary to close a file.It's easy to explain what happens when it happens.I open a file, work on it for a while, during which time I've imported some images or wav files and placed them on the main timeline or movie clip timelines.I can test and save the file often while I'm working and everything seems fine. Eventually I close the file.When I reopen the file, the imported images are all missing from the timelines. It's very odd.All of the edits are still complete.The keyframes where the assets were placed are still where they belong, and the assets are all in the library.So I have to go through to each location and put the image or wav file back in its keyframe where it belongs.So far, it seems like after I go through this exercise once, it doesn't happen again.Here are the only details I can really offer.
Don't know about new files.The files I'm working on originated on a Mac, and they may have gone back and forth between CS4 anc CS5 versions, and finally are going to CS5.5 on a pc.I have seen this problem now in both CS4 and CS5 on both the Mac and the pc.It only seems to affect newly imported assets.Doesn't seem to matter how they're imported.Sometimes I use the menus, sometimes I drag and drop them into the library, sometimes I copy them from other Flash files and paste them into the current one.So far, I'm not sure that his problem has been seen on my own equipment.Just at my contractor location.Because of the things I'm seeing around, I'm beginning to suspect that this could have something to do with these RAID systems these guys usually set up, which I know virtually nothing about. RAID5 on these new machines.But I'm wondering if some caching of something is going on somewhere, and somehow not being saved somewhere else
I'll probably start trying some things like importing assets, saving,closing and re-opening before I do anything, or some such exercises, in an attempt to make it stop happening.Like I said though, it's virtually impossible for me to reproduce.It really seems to be one of those things that just likes to happen out of the blue.Maybe 15 to 20 percent of the time.Probably whenever it'll do the most damage.

I use Flash 8.I'm making this very simple Nav Box where on certain links open in a new window/tab. Those links work great.But most of the links are set to open in the same window that the Nav Box is on. When saving the SWF and HTML, the links work great.
The problem comes when I place it on other pages/sites. The "Self" links never work. Here are samples.
[URL]
Neither page nor link in the Nav Box requires a Iframe nor anything "special" to work.Here are to version of the AS2 code I've tried (Using the Day Of Victory Ministries link as a sample)
#1
on (release) {getURL("http://www.dovm.org/DOVM_AVP.html");
}
---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------
#2
[code]....
Unless I'm mistaken, the way flash works, it matters not which server it is on so long as it's directory is public. This enables the flash to be placed on any page (via it's root link / Embedding code) and still have it's buttons work.
