ActionScript 3.0 :: Get Button To Switch Out From Loaded Swf
May 18, 2011
I'm a designer struggling to learn advanced actionscript. It's quite a challenge,
One of the challenge i'm having right now is: I have my main timeline(swf). i'm loading in 2 separate swfs into two separate holders on the main stage/timeline/swf. whatever it's normally called. One of the loaded swfs is a menu and the other is a page. Basically i'm designing a learning application. The menu alllows you to jump to a specific place in the course rather than a next button of sorts which is also in the course.
When a different page is loaded i need for a button(movieclip) that's located in the menu swf to swith out with a new button that's located off the stage somewhere.(these buttons are located in the menu swf off stage) so i need the loaded page swf, to talk to the other loaded swf(menu) everytime it or another page is loaded. I've seen simular references to having a loaded swf talk to the main timeline swf but i haven't been able to find a reference for two loaded swfs thats loaded inside holders, to talk to each other.

I'm currently working on a project which has a swf (zoom) which zoom/pan a loaded swf of a map (carte_web.swf). Everything went well until I got more requests. There is now two maps, same background, one with images and one with only a road. I'm trying to add code to two buttons on a toolbar generated by the zoom.swf, to switch between the two maps, without loosing it's zoom/pan My maps are both object-oriented Flash programming. I have spent 27 hours, trying to find a way and I'm definately at my wits' end!
I got a suggestion " in loading both your swfs into one sprite separately. Then switching between the swfs by removing and adding them to their parent sprite. The parent sprite is what you'll be zooming. " I tried everything!!!

I've got a little script that scales a video to the stage. The scaleing function has a switch statement to indicate what kind of scaling to apply.If I declare the case value of the switch statement internally all is fine. However if I load this value from an XML doc, even though the trace indicated the value has loaded, the switch never fires.
Code:
/stage variables
var sH:Number;
var sW:Number;
var _contentHolder = new Sprite();
[code]....

I have made a button to function like a switch in that it has both an on and off state. However, I can only get it to switch between the on and off state once when it's pressed, with nothing happening after it has been turned off.The code is as follows:
Code:
switch1.onPress = function() {
switch1.gotoAndStop("on");
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
[code]....
is there a way to make it so that the switch works continuously, not just one time?

never really used checkBoxes much and wondering what the best AS2 is to use one as a "switch" ?
i.e. place a checkbox which is default unchecked and if the user checks it {do something} and if the user then unchecks it {undo that something}.
I'm thinking about the _alpha of a button or an MC as an example / test.
Check the box: anMC = _alpha 100, unchceck the same box: anMC = _alpha 50.
I'm happy either way with code on the checkbox or an even listener on a frame (preferred) but would like to learn how to use checkBoxes as a switch.

Here's a really easy (Not so easy for me) question for you. First person to answer rules the. I have a button that switches a variable from 0 to 1.
on (press) {
_root.pageone = 1;
}
I want the same button to switch the variable off. I've been trying "if else", but my syntax is rubbish. How do I code this statement On Press Button > if _root.pageone = 1 change to 0 > if _root.pageone = 0 change to 1.

I'm pretty new to this and racking my brains on the following problem: I have a movieclip-button, with 3 states (normal, over and clicked). I want to disable the functions in actionscript 3 that switch between the normal and over-states after the button is clicked, and not enable these functions for this button until another button is clicked. What's the best/ simplest way to do this?

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.

making a button visable after a swf has loaded but not a flv. I am preloading an flv, well 20secs of it, then it starts playing. But I have a 'play' button on the stage and it sits there tempting people to hit it whilst the preloading bar works its magic preloading the flv. I want the button to be visable only after the flv has loaded or at least until it starts to play.

I am trying out an AS2 xml image gallery from a tutorial online (code attached). I have also found out how to add a button to the stage that takes the SWF-movie into true full screen (code also attached).
But the problem is that the images from the xml are placing themselves above the button so that the button can't be seen or used. I would of course like to overlay the button on top of the loaded images.
I thought that putting the button on a new layer above the first layer with the AS2 xml image gallery code would do the trick, but it did not.
How can I specify that the button should be "always on top"?

I have a movie called crime_scene.swf that is loaded onto another swf.
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("myContainer", 1);
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
mclListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip)
[Code]....
It seems like it's not working. I tried just myContainer.evi_1.onRelease and _level1.evi_1 but nothing seems to work.

I'm loading an external SWF file to a container MovieClip (adding it as a child), but have the need to create a button over the loaded SWF.The external SWF should still respond to MouseOver events like it used to.
I tried adding the AS3 created button to the container MovieClip, but it wasn't visible anywhere (the position was right in the middle of the container). Obviously, the SWF shadowed it.

I am fairly new to flash action script and I am having a problem with a project I am working on. The problem is as follows. I am trying to create a table of thumbnail pictures from an xml. I have made the table load from from the file though when the items are created the first thumb has the background and text field though all others are missing this. I have tried making a clip inside the thumbnail clip thats called "thumbnail_image" though that didn't work. I also want to be able to click the thumb and have it go to the corresponding url from "curl[]". I just can't work it out. At the moment it will only go to the last url added in the array
