ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Get Text Button To Show Another Symbol
Jul 23, 2011
All I want to do is make a text button show another symbol? Basically, I have 16 icons which I want to eventually be buttons as well, and I want to show them in two different orders. So I have my two buttons for the different orders, and I have my icons in the orders as two different layers, and I've tried using the code snippets to show the icons but I keep getting an error message and it doesn't work, instead my buttons disappear. I just want to be able to click a button and the order of my icons changes.

I'm designing an interface for a class, and the buttons that I am using all have multiple functions.For example, when the story button is clicked, I need the mc to stop playing and change to text (in the same window/screen, just no mc playing). The mc is 31 frames long, but if there's a way to just make it loop continuously until told not to, Currently, my code looks like this:
stop();
story_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,story);
function story(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop(32);}credits_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,credits);[code]...
When I click the button, the mc does not stop playing and the text does not show up.

So i've done SOME work with flash and AS3, right now i'm working on a website for my boss, he bought some template online which has stuff laid out and animated and everything already, now I just have to integrate our content.My issue is this, I've got 2 symbols on the screen, one of which contains alot of buttons that list our services as company, the second symbol contains the content (or descriptions) of those services, which on are separate keyframes.What I'm trying to accomplish is that when you hit the button in "symbol A", it affects the "symbol B" and goes to the corresponding keyframe.For example when I click "button 2" in "symbol A", "symbol B" goes to keyframe 2.Now if they were in the same symbol it would be something like
on(release){
goToAndStop(2);
}

I have created some graphic symbols from text (convert to symbol>>graphic), and when I double click them (in the editor), they remain text. Others from several month ago seem to remain symbols when double-clicked. The other thing I have noticed is some of my buttons have bulls-eye type circles on top of them, while new ones I create have an empty black circle. All the new ones I created do not seem to work properly, and I am wondering why this is by working backwards.

I have created a basic symbol with dynamic text, so that I may have many of the same symbol and script the text that shows up on the symbol. When I have the text box in a horizontal orientation the text shows up in my animation but when I turn it into a vertical orientation my text does not show up. Unfortunately I need the symbols to have vertical text.

In a nutshell, I'm trying to create a dynamic text box in which text show up for one XML node but not for another, so I have some XML nodes that have info in them and others that don't. This seems like it would be a realatively easy thing to do, but I've been working on figuring out how to do so for days with no avail. I'm working on a template for my portfolio gallery at: [URL] I've linked pdfs to just some of the images in my modified xml slideshow from the tutorial using the following code from this forum:

I am using a dynamic text field to show html formatted text from .txt files. I have set the html property both in the properties panel and in AS, and it mostly works. All html formatting show up just fine, except for when "&" is used. Flash CS3 documentation indicates that & is supported, so.? All text after the & does not appear: the only text loaded is that that comes before it. I am using CS3, AS2, publishing in Flash Player 9. Sorry if this problem has been addressed elsewhere, but I've had no luck with my searches.

how to make a rotating cube for my website, today i tried to make that cube interactive such as making each side of the cube a button. so what i did was instead of using movie clip symbols to construct the cube i used a series of button symbols. the problem soon arises when i tired to fold the panels into a box. It seems adobe flash does not allow me to rotate a button symbol. when the symbol type is "button" all of the rotating parameters under transform are greyed out but as soon as i change it to movie clip i can rotate it.

I'm trying to work on a flash project. Essentially, when I press a button it initiates a video symbol. Once that video symbol is loaded, there are 3 buttons to choose from. When I click one of the buttons, it should do a gotoAndPlay. Instead, what does happen is I click the first button:

A designer gave me an fla file with his design for a banner with some buttons and it is my job make those buttons do stuff. However, I can't seem to get a reference to any of them in actionscript. I am using CS5.5 fp9 and as3. The buttons in the design are instances of symbols (graphic) from a library. Through the 'edit symbols' menu in the top right corner of the window that displays the design, I can navigate to the different buttons and I managed to change them to type button or movieclip so that I could give them instance names. However, even with instance names, I still can't access them from actionscript.
I think it may have something to do with the way these symbols have been added to the stage. I can see them in the design view and when I run the project, so they must be on the stage right? However I cannot select them in the design by clicking on them. Only by using the 'edit symbols' menu can I select them.
It seems that if you 'lock' stuff in design view, you can't work with it in developer view either. Not even in actionscript! The buttons in the design I received were locked from the beginning, it didn't even occur to me that it could be something as silly as that!

When your button has 3 different states like rollover, rollout and selected and these are images. Is it best to make it a movieClip or a button symbol?

If you put a button symbol into a movie clip. Then, place the movie clip onto the main time line. Add multiple scenes to the movie and multiple frames on the pain timeline. Go back to the button within the movie clip and program it
on (release) {
_parent.gotoAndStop(25);
}
This sends the main timeline to that frame. But, uou can't do this
on (release) {
_parent.gotoAndStop("Scene 2", 25);
}
You can't make the parent change to another scene in this fashion. How come?

I dowloaded and played with the following scroller on this site... [URL] I see where the text is under Actions but I'm wondering if I can input hyperlinks and email links as well or will I only be able to use this with plain text. If formatting and links are allowed, how can I input the text to show as a link. Sorry, I don't know much about flash and just trying to make a simple text box with scrolling capability that will allow hyperlinks, bold, etc...
