I have a button that has 4 timeline stages: Up, Over, Down, Hit. Rather then manually setting everything to look the same at each point, is there a way for me to make it that now matter what it will look the same. I want it to look like the "up" position at all times.
View 1 RepliesI want to make 3 animated gif files for all 3 stages of button. If I use transparent png files when creating gif Im gonna preserve transparency of png files, my question is if I import transparent gif animation to flash and convert them to button stages are they going to keep their transparency. If somebody know how to do this please help.
Gif animations is going to look like this: metallic looking orb rotates on transparent background on x axis from left to right side of gif file, what I need is that when I upload swf file containing this gif to internet, you can see only metallic orb and everything around it need to be transparent so you can see web page background. It should be looking like flash file is part of the background and interacting with it.
how can i make a button respond to mouse release and/or Enter key release, depending on user input.. when I press Enter, I would like to have the button(s) behave in the same way as if I was clicking it with the mouse, possibly incorporating the separate graphic stages of the button (appearance of button down when clicked with mouse = appearance of button while Enter key is down, etc.) ... and am also curious as to how you can tab between buttons then just press enter to deploy it... i know how to make a button react to button.onRelease and somewhat to the Enter key... separately.. but not as a combined package
View 2 RepliesI would like to load my flex based application in stages (but I'm getting lost in the details).
My app consists of:
Stage 1: A small movieclip style intro shown while loading the main app
Stage 2: The main UI developed using flex + flash components.
Stage 3: A 3D graphics viewport (away3d)
Stage N: 3D models loaded on-demand
I would like to load each stage in sequence, pausing if the next stage is not yet ready.
I looked at dynamic libraries, but it seems like the classes you select + all references to classes made by those classes are included in the library (am I wrong here?).
Each stage will reference classes from its parent (i.e. stage 3 references flex classes loaded in stage 2, stage N references away3d components loaded in stage 3, etc). So if all references are included in a dynamic library, then Stage N SWFs will duplicate many classes from the prevous stages, and likewise with stage 3 & 2 classes.
It seems best if I could just split my SWF into separate StageX SWF files based broadly on package names. This would make it easy for me to split up the size appropriately, and would avoid me needing to be concerned with missing references at runtime or duplicate loading of classes.
But I don't know how to go about doing this, or even if I'm on the right track with my thinking here. Can I accomplish this without making it impossible to manage the project?
I am trying to detect the AS2 stages frame rate w/o timers. My FlashAsset for Authorware and Director can detect it using #frameRate from the outside of the SWF.
Does anyone know a undocumented command or how to address the stage as the MovieClip? I cannot use Timers, etc. to accomplish this do to programming restrictions of an old Flash Asset one of the two platforms I am using requires.
Okay, now things are getting a little complicated. I need to build a Flash object that can sit over the corner of an image to serve extra content. It's way beyond my Flash skill level, my work is usually limited to print work in Photoshop and Illustrator so please excuse me if any of the following isn't clear. I am trying to learn though, So this is how it's all supposed to work, along with my issues; When the image & Flash item load a small looping animation will play to draw the eye/show the item as interactive.
When the user rolls over this the corner will peelback. I have a working peelback animation for the rollover, that reacts to mouse over/mouse off, and a looping animation for the initial, but I cannot work out how to make the initial loop until mouseover, then play the peelback when the mouse is over. And go back to the initial animation loop if the user rolls off. (Each of these animations is stored as a movie clip in the Library)
Then it gets more complicated... if the user stays on the corner until it is fully peeled back I need to make a small countdown (sort of a 3, 2, 1 situation) show, before launching a lightbox (would this have to be jQuery, or could it be done in Flash?) in the browser to serve the content.

I am trying to make a sprite button with graphics and can't make it work. I have successfully added text fields so I know the path is correct. I suspected my code was correct and confirmed it should be, after reading several tutorials showing the process for creating sprite buttons with graphics. Anyway, I imported nearly every class on Earth, but certainly everything which needs to be. Stage is gray and 800x600.The graphics code by itself with appear, but not when linked to the sprite. Also, the sprite won't appear no matter what. Another interesting piece of the puzzle: nothing will trace, not even objects such as textfields which actually appear and function on the stage when I text the code.
public class ContactClass extends Sprite {
public function ContactClass() {
var home_btn:Sprite = new Sprite();[code]....

View 1 RepliesI am trying to make a button in such a way so that after you clicked on it, the button will change colour, indicating that the link has been visited.
View 3 Repliesby the way you need to make a symbol and need to export for ActionScript and class name is "ball". And the button instant name is:bButton. So here's the script I wrote so far.
var boundaryRight:Number = stage.stageWidth;
var boundaryLeft:Number = 0;
var balls:Array;[code]....
As you can see that code made the multiple ball go to left and looping over and over again. So here's what I want to do. I want to make a button and when I click the button it'll change direction like click and it change direction to right. I click it again and it'll go left again. How do I write the code for that?
I created a button using the following code,
Code:
on(release) {
attachMovie ("my_btn", "my_btn", _root.getNextHighestDepth(),{_x:34, _y:158});
}
Now I am trying to make the button gotoAndStop on a scene on release. I tried this code,
Code:
onEnterFrame
my_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop ("SettingsPanel")
}
I have a function that executes when a button is pressed:
btnRandomAll.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandlerBtnRandomAll);
function clickHandlerBtnRandomAll(e:Event)
{
...but, I need it to also execute once, upon the file loading.
I want to make a button (or graphic) active and visible if another button is clicked. But it must be invisible and unclickable before the other button is clicked. (this is a "find the differences between the 2 pictures game" and I want circles to appear over the differences that the user finds but only after he clicks it)
The button (or graphic) I want to become active has instance name of "sockcircle_btn" The button you click to make it appear is called "sock_btn"
In the first frame of the sockcircle_btn layer, this is my code
sockcircle_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,sockcircledisable);
function sockcircledisable(evt:MouseEvent):void{
sockcircle_btn.mouseEnabled = false;
}
In the sock_btn frame (frame 3) this is my code
sock_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,sockcircleenable);
function sockcircleenable(evt:MouseEvent):void{
sockcircle_btn.mouseEnabled = true;
}
The file is setup to loop between frames 2-3. But the sockcircle_btn never enables even when sock_btn is clicked.
I'm trying to make buttons that involve a character pointing to indicate interaction.When a button is interacted with (mouse over or down) the character's arm points to that particular button. I separated his body, so that it remains constant on the main stage, no matter which button is being interacted with.The problem is, when the user is not mousing over or clicking down on any button, the character has no arms (since only his body remains constant)!How do I resolve this?The only thing I thought of so far is if there's any way to create an up button state that includes the arm (right now I have nothing for mouse up) THAT ENDS when the next button is interacted with. Is that possible? If I put the arm in the up state (in addition to mouse over and down) it stays when the interaction is over, which poses a problem when the user interacts with the next button (the character ends up with double the arms since each button introduces a different set of arms pointing towards that particular button).
View 1 RepliesI simply don't know the syntax.I am attempting to make something similar to a Jeopardy board for a Christmas party at work. I have a grid of buttons that correspond to different questions. The function would be as follows: The button "eng_1" (as in "English for 100 points)is clicked.This makes the button "eng_1_q" (as in :English 100 question) visible, so the question can now be read.The button "eng_1_q" is clicked, and that button is then made invisible. The question can not be seen, now we have returned to the board.The original "eng_1" is now a different colour (or left in it's "down" state) to show that the question has already been asked (not sure if this should be part of the function of "eng_1" or "eng_1_q").My idea would be something like this.
eng_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,][code]...........
So once again, I'm just unsure of the syntax.

I've made a mask with a FLVPlayback inside and with a sliding bar that appears when I make rollover in the FLVPlayback. All working well. I want to put some simple controls in the sliding bar like pause or play, but I can't access the buttons because they are inside a first button ( the FLVPlayback ) that triggers the sliding bar. How can I make to have a button inside another button area?
