i'm creating a menu that of course calls some functions then items are clicked. the problem i'm having is i want to fake one of these menu click events from a function when the menu loads and i can't figure out how to do it.
here's a sample of the function(not complete).
function itemClicked(e:Event):void {
trace("activeMenu:"+e.target.name); //traces out menuItem0, menuItem1, etc.
trace("moveItems:"+e.currentTarget.name); //traces out menuItem0, menuItem1, etc.
[Code].....
so i guess what i'm asking is how do you artificially set an event call if you know the name of the movieclip that you want to simulate a click on?

I just put the page name (???.html) somewhere and it worked.

View 3 RepliesI need to create a link to a particular frame that uses a frame label in AS2, so the AS code would be within the time line on another frame. I can either do this with a hyperlink if that is possible or I can create a button and convert to a MC. Whichever way is easier.
View 4 Replies I want to create a URL link for the description text. Everything works fine until I get to the actual link - it's displaying the HTML. I've clicked on the HTML button in the properties inspector for the text field (see the attached photo); I've also added the following in the AS:
Code:
desc_txt.html = true;
desc_txt.multiline = true;
No luck; it's still displaying the HTML.
Code:
function nextImage() {

p++;

I am trying to create a button that link to a website and I cannot for the life of me get my flash to open a new window to a site. I am trying to have specific links to different sites for each slide, I'm not sure how to get it working. I get an error message of:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter url must be non-null.
at global/flash.net::navigateToURL()
at MethodInfo-119()
my script is the following:
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var imageWidth:Number = 0;[code].......
I have one simple question. When you type this line of code in AS3:
var req:URLRequest=new URLRequest("somephp.php");
You get this error:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter text must be non-null.
So my question is how do you create URLRequest with non-direct link (so no [URL]).
Im trying to create an implied webpage link to twitter, facebook, you tube ect. I have buttons with the logo on it! However for my work i can not just link to a webpage as it all needs to be contained in the files i.e. on a computer that doesnt have an internet link! I was thinking of having the page as a swf that loads in on a seperate layer on top of the main site, which can then be closed via a exit link on the page!
However im not sure what script i would need to put on the Facebook button to crate it to load, and what script to put on the x to make the link close! Or am i even doing it the right way! Should i be some how enbeding the webpages in the the flash file?

View 2 RepliesI am trying to do: [URL]. This is a little webpage I'm building as I learn more and more flash. I am at a point where I need to link .mp3 files to the buttons on the "Dan's Top Songs Playlist". If you like, you can download my flash file here: [URL]. I am working with ActionScript 3.0. The buttons in the Media Player are all instances of the same button. How do I tie each button to a different .mp3 song to play when clicked (and stop when another song is clicked or the pause button is clicked)? Because of the size of song files, I'd like to stream it. Also, is there any way to use the "repeat" symbol to just play all the songs in order and the "shuffle" symbol to play them in random order?

having previously made webpages just in html.I have a flash movie and wanted to add a series of links.I've made some buttons, but when I rightclick on them and go to actions, I don't get the 'basic actions>geturl' command that the help screens tell me I should have. I get some other crazy menu with options like 'Global Functions', 'Actionscript 2.0 Classes' etc.how I can bring up the actions menu that will allow me to create a link from my buttons?
View 2 RepliesI've made a component based on a mx:TitleWindow that contains linkbuttons that I'm using as a context-menu. The TitleWindow component contains link buttons like this:
[Bindable]
private var _showEmailThis:Boolean = false;
[Bindable]
private var _showApproveThis:Boolean = false;
[Bindable]
private var _showReviewThis:Boolean = false
[Code] .....
This component contains a large number of links and is re-used by multiple modules in the same application. Within each module, this component is used when a user clicks on a row in a datagrid. The code looks like this:
In "Requests" module:
private function dgRequests_click(event:MouseEvent):void {
menu.showApproveThis = true;
menu.showReviewThis = true;
}
In "Performance" module:
private function dgPerformance_click(event:MouseEvent):void {
menu.showEmailThis = true;
menu.showReviewThis = true;
}
As you can see, the visibility of individual linkbuttons is controlled within each module by setting boolean properties. If I alter this component to use a renderer, how can I control the visibility of the linkbuttons from the code in each module (there are over a hundred links with different functionality - not every link will be used in each module)? Note: it is not known from the back-end which grid within which module uses which link. This is set in the front end within each module's actionscript file. E.g., if the XML looks like this:
[Code] .....
And I set the Email link to show in the module like this:
private function dgPerformance_click(event:MouseEvent):void {
menu.showEmailThis = true;
}
How do I make it take effect? Is there a way to control the visibility of a linkbutton within an item renderer in a component from the module that uses that component?
I am trying to create something like a dress up game. The first screen would be all the body parts(e.g hands,head etc.) and once users click on the next button they will be taken to a new scene with the assembled body parts where there'll be clothes and accessories for users to choose.My question is how to create the next button which will link to another scene containing the assembled body parts.
