ActionScript 3.0 :: Highlight/Resetting MC Button?
Jan 20, 2010
What I'm trying to do is highlight a movieclip button when it is clicked, and then remove that highlight when another movieclip button in the same menu is clicked.I think the problem is arising from the fact that the buttons temporarily highlight when rolled over. I have used the 'ROLL_OVER', and 'ROLL_OUT' event listeners to initiate the animation, so any attempt to keep the current button highlighted is quashed when the mouse is moved off the button.here is some of the code i have used
In my code, when a user clicks on a button, I set the alpha of the button to 50 and set enabled=0. This works to essentially disable and grey out the button. The problem is that even though the button has been disabled, it still sits in the over state until the user moves the cursor off the hit area... Funny, no?
Since you can't tell a button what frame to go to, how do I get it to go back to its up state (without recreating all my buttons as movieclips and doing the whole thing manually)?
I have some buttons placed on stage. Every button has s baseclass, Button.as.
What i wonder is how i in my baseclass can highlight the button that was clicked.. and then when another button is clicked highlight that one instead.. some current-button functionality.[code]...
I will try to explain my problem (I'm swedish...); If you look at the fla posted here and the trace information in the output panel when published, you see what the button is called. What I need is a way to use this info to create a code that makes the button blacked when clicked on and back to grey when some other btn is clicked.
I have 3 buttons(say b1,b2,b3) in my app which are under the controlbaron clicking those buttons it will open new view(components)suppose if button b1 is clicked it should highlight the button b1(bg color change).how to go about this sorry if it is noob question as am new to this
I like to know how to pursue this effect to have the active button highlighted. So visitors know which page are they on. Second part is how to have the fade out effect on the rest while have mouse over on certain text
i was trying to reproduce this nifty little effect of a springy rollover on a button, that can go from button to button, and also springs up when nothing is selected.
the effect i'm trying to reproduce is at:[URL]
go into the portfolio section and rollover any of the pieces. Now i've studied the tutorials for elasticity at kirupa and came up with a effect that is based on mouse-click and not on a button. [URL]
the 3 externally loaded SWFs rotate with fade in/outf effect on their own as well as per button click. What I would like to add to it is having the the buttons change appearance (Tint or anything) - just to show which slide the user is currently seeing. here's my code:
// Attach Musicvar req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("squeeak3.mp3");var sound:Sound = new Sound();var controller:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel(); var b:Boolean;
I have a menu with 5 selectable items. I would like to add a 6th. This is a side menu and they are stacked on top of each other.I would like to know how to highlight the current menu selection using flashvars and this page is html. Like I said I have searched but nothing is making sense and no one has offered to help as yet.Sometimes when I am browsing that site the flash menu up the top doesn't display, but hitting F5 brings it right up. There is a go to and play the last frame action in there. Could that be causing it? I have uploaded the file as well if anyone wants to have a look at that.Maybe someone can explain this to me Link to possible resolution. Here is a link to the page where it is in use, the site is yet to be finished.
I'm making a website in flash, inspired from this site : [URL]. I've done mouseover so that when you go over a circle you can see full text in the middle, but I don't know how to make the other "buttons"/circles fade white when I have my mouse over one of the circles. Please take a look at the webpage, it's kind of difficult to explain. [URL]. I'm using CS 5.5 and Actionscript 3
I'm very new to Flash, but I have been learning loads and getting some good results so far. Browsing these forums has been a massive help. However today I have hit a problem in what should be almost the simplest line of code I know how to write (variable = x), and could do with some advice. I have a simple program containing a button which will change a variable when pressed. There is also a text-box that will output that variable. However when I press the button, the variable will change, but then immediately revert to it's previous value.
I made a simple class that's keeping a history of strings, updating it with a push() method (like an array) and with a possibility to navigate with next() and previous().Therefore my class has an array and a integer indication the current position in the array. (See full code below)Now something very strange is going on. When coming into the push() method the position variable has some value, which I can change, but everytime I try to read that variable, it gives me a 0. I've never had this kind of problem before and I simply cant find out what's wrong.The push() method
ActionScript Code: public function push(entry:String):void [code]......
I have a character on the stage in my fla that when hitting a particle created in an a particle.as removes the particle. I have the code for removing the particle and also a score counter that adds one everytime a particle is removed (located in my particle.as). My problem is the score keeps resetting or I get sporadic results (not sure which) for example here I traced the results[code]...
How do you reset the scrollbar in Flash? (I'm using the component, not a cusom scrollbar.)If you go here, scroll ALL the way to the bottom and then click on "Donations" - you'll see the scrollbar stays in place.How do I get it to refresh each time new text is loaded? I've tried refreshPane() and a few other things, but nothing works.
How do you reset combo-boxes?I have this form with combo-boxes and input textfields, and I want a button that can reset the form.The input textboxes are easy:TextBox1.text = "";
I've created a application where the viewer could change colours, add text, add logos, rotare them, etc... How do I create a reset button which resets everything to back normal in a specific FRAME? What functions do I have to use? E.g. Frame 5 is used to Add colours and text, etc... Frame 10 is used to Add logos,scale them, rotate them, etc... I need a reset button in Frame 5 to make only the things which were changed back to normal.
I am trying to move a movieclip down using Actionscript. Then when a user fires a back event [which is successfully firing] the movieclip is then required to go up again. The code is:
trace("fholder _y org: " + folioholdermc._y); // THIS COMES OUT TO BE -601 var yDown1:Tween = new Tween(folioholdermc, "_y", Bounce.easeOut, -601, -449, 3, true); trace("step 1 called"); trace("fholder _y down1: " + folioholdermc._y); [Code] ......
I'm making a simple platform game in Flash CS5 and Actionscript 3.0. When the player loses all their lives, I want it to redirect the player to a "Game over" screen where they can select a "Try again" button to restart the game.
Set everything (player, background, etc) to visible = false Set "Game over" movie clip to visible = true (it is invisible during gameplay)
Have the button in the "Game over" movie clip hide the movie clip then re-show all the gameplay elements.Reset position of player to start, set score to 0, lives to 3, etc..It's probably not a very good way of doing this but if it works, then I'm happy. I just want the "Game over" screen to show briefly and if the player clicks the "try again" button, they can play from the start.
Now, the problem with my implementation of the above is that when I set all the gameplay elements to visible = true after having them set to false, the game has stopped.. keyboard input doesn't reactivate and the game elements are shown but aren't active. Is there something about the visible attribute I don't know? Does it mess with the "state" of an object? Here's some snippets of code from the Actionscript file...
if(lives >= 0) { //print number of lives }[code]..........
I've got 6 draggable movie clips that snap to a target - which works fine. If they don't hit the target area they snap back to their starting point- which also works fine.
My problem is that they can all be dragged to the target one after another, but I only want one movieclip to be at the target at any one time.
So,when I start dragging a new clip toward the target I want the movieclip thats already on the target to reset itself to it's starting position, thus being replaced by the incoming clip.
I want this to happen for all the draggable clips.
function dragSetup(clip, targ) { clip.onPress = function() { startDrag(this); this.beingDragged=true;
im creating this game. I have a main class, which I use to call the menu class and the actual game(board) class.
I got the game working, but now when I try to reset the instance of the board, it doesnt actually execute the constructor again. So I get a fresh board, but the variables aren't reset.
ActionScript Code: public function Resetboard(event:Passboolean){ board = null; board = new Board(); application.addChild(board); }
I've created this simple birthday game where the concept is to blowout 30 candles in 15 seconds.The candles are movieclips so that when they are clicked on, they blowout. However,when the option to "try again" begins, the candles are still out.
Just to start off, this isn't exactly an inquiry to a problem. It is moreso of a posting of a bug (or assumed bug) in the Flash player and how to get around it. Though if anyone else has a better method then share. Ok, well I very rarely ever work with the Sound() object in Flash, and I found myself working with it today. I was having a problem and I could not pinpoint it for the life of me.... my code appeared correct in every aspect.
After tracing many sections of my code to find out where it was going wrong I realized... that for some reason when you use Sound.stop(), the Sound.position doesn't get reset... it instead just increments from where it left off. This is quite annoying. And being that Sound.position is a read only property you can't reset it yourself. The only solution I have found for this is to delete or overwrite your Sound() object with a new Sound() object. Anyone know if this is indeed a bug, or if there was some reason Macromedia did it like this?
I know there are similar questions here that have been answered, but after trying to make sense of it, I still can't get this to work.Based on an array, I attach a number of MovieClips from the Library.On release they go to a certain frame, representing the "pressed" state of the button.The problem is, that I can't figure out how to reset the last pressed button back to it's original state...Here is the Actionscript code I have so far:
I have a setup where a girl is holding a card on there are words on each card and as time goes by they fall to the ground. The problem I am running into is that the cards never go back into the loop of cards, once they are out I am just left with a blank card. How could I have it reset this?
In my main .fla I have a scrollpane which opens an external SWF, inside this external SWF I have 5 frames, each with a 'Next' button at the bottom, the problem is when the user clicks the 'Next' button the the scrollpane doesn't change the position of the scrollbar, so essentially the user is looking at the bottom of the next frame. Is there any way to reset the scrollbar position from either the external SWF (linking to the main SWF), or with some code in the main SWF?
so I have a class method that contains a for loop ... however, each time I call the class method, the for loop counter continues to count from where it left off! Agh - the loop counter get's reset?
