How to make a number key on the keyboard activate a button on the stage. My drum has 6 buttons on it that play notes when you click them with the mouse. But I also want the number keys 1 - 6 to activate the buttons to.
View 1 RepliesEverything was working great.We were instructed to build upon this simple design and add a welcome screen and a game over screen with a click to play button and a click to quit button. I was able to successfully create those screens in new frames on the timeline and have them gotoAndStop at the original game frame, but now instead of being able to move the avatar with the keyboard arrows, I have to click the stage first to use them.
View 4 Repliesgot MC A and MC B. MC B is directly under MC A. They are both indepedent on the stage, meaning they are not children of a bigger mc container. They both have rollover events, how can I activate the rollover events of MC B??Im aware of mouseChildren and mouseEnabled, but that requires them to be in the same container...
View 3 RepliesI know it's something simple but could someone please take a look at the attached file and tell me what I am doing wrong! There is an MC on the rollOver state of my button but it won't play, it starts to play and then stops.
View 1 RepliesI was certain that in AC3 this is done by default, when the button is in focus and the ENTER key is press, it dispatches a Click event.
myButon.addEventListener("click", funClick);
function funClick(evtObj:Event):void { trace("yes");}
I have a movie clip that throws out a bunch of little stars. I then have a button (a big star) and I want the movie clip to play when the button is hovered upon. So, basically when you hover over the big star a bunch of little stars float up from behind it. I have attached my fla, and my code for the movie clip is below:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
a = 0;[code]..........

View 2 RepliesI have a very complicated interface going on in my flash application, with tons of dependencies/variable checking/etc and it would make my life one heck of a lot easier if it was possible to simply "press" or activate an onscreen button via actionscript. I have never seen this referenced, and don't know if it's possible. Search didn't find me anything. Can you do this in some way? "Virtually" activate a button (and thereby all the button's scripting...)

View 2 RepliesI have flash which contains the map of the United States. Each state is a separate button. When each state is in hover mode, it changes the look/size of that state and adds names of the cities in white on the particular state.I would actually like to add 2 things to this flash.
1) When the state is hovered over, not only will the state change, but the cities belonging to that state (in the list to the right, will highlight)
2) I would like the city names in the list, when hovered over to highlight and to activate the hover mode of that particular state. In addition, that cityName button in the list and the state button should be able to direct to a URL upon hit.
I currently have each state as a button with each state's hover mode changes.I will be changing the cityNames into buttons (they are currently MCs).Once I change the CityNames into Buttons, then modify their hover modes to look like a highlight, then I know to do the following for the URL direct:[code]One of these will go on each text cityname button. But how do I tell the button to also activate the NewYorkState_btn into hover mode?I will also need each State image button to automatically arrange to the front when they are hovered so that they will not be overlapped by other states.Also, What do I do to get each state to hover and simultaneously highlight the appropriate CityName button(s) in the list?I have included an image below (FLashMapHover.jpg) so that it is a bit more clear what I am trying to do.
How would I make a simple button that when clicked once, acts as if you'd double clicked a video file in explorer, as in it either activates your video player of choice, or plays it immediatly if it's already open.
(I know I've not worded this all that well, please say if you need me to say it more clrealy)

View 3 RepliesI have a form saved as an html page, and at the moment my contact button launches this page in a pop up.What I would like is that so when you click my contact button, it loads the pages as a layer so it fits in more with the website and loads ontop of the flash file. For an example check out www.dobi.nu - its and html website but if you go to illustrations and click and image the page loads on top as a layer, just wanna know if it can be done with flash.

View 5 RepliesI'm trying to set a common task, wich is activate/desactivate interactivity (clickability) of a button. (sometimes clickable, sometimes not). The button is a blue bowl. I use the stopPropagation() of event metod to stop propagation, then my blue bowl is not clickable anymore. (if you erase "stopPropagation()", it becomes clickable) It works.
But I want to change this statut. I've designed a ON/OFF switcher, who set the blue bowl clickability ON/OFF. And it doesn't work. I've tried everything : removeEventListener, an "if" who write "stopPropagation()" or not, but it fails, it stay on the beggining statut. Here's the very simple .fla to show you : [URL] What should be my "ON/OFF switcher" code ?

I commented my code below to reflect what I am attempting to do here. Flash is throwing me a 1084 error at the moment but I cannot spot my issue. I expect that it is something to do with the this['circle'+i] statement.

How can I find out the total number of MovieClips on stage at any one time?
I've just had to optimise a tile based scrolling game by ripping clips off and on the stage as it scrolls. I could have used gotoAndStop scrolling but I was hoping I could try clip ripping first (reorganising my entire library wouldn't keep me on schedule) - so far the overhead has been drastically reduced.
But I want to be double sure there aren't any MCs lurking (implementing this is producing rarely occuring bugs), how can I get the number of clips attached?
I want to be able to return the number of specific movieclips on the stage.
For instance, i could have multiple movieclips like so on stage.[code]...
Is there a way to return the number of 'myMovie' movieclips that are on stage (4 in this example)? I guess this will involve using a 'for' loop and returning the number?

I am creating a site with lots of big scrollable text-boxes in it. Each text-box object contained some text, and two buttons to scroll up/down with. The scroll buttons each had an event listener so the text moved when you clicked them.
These text-boxes were stacked on-top of each other with all except one having an alpha of 0. If I wanted to change which text-box is active I move it to the front and call a small TweenLite animation.
To the left (outside of the text-box objects) I have an object similar to a menu. It also has about 12 or so event-listeners (one for every button). This turns out cause A LOT of lag an it's very troublesome for my laptop to run it. What I need help with doing is to reduce the number of event-listeners on the stage and also the amount of text-boxes.
What I was thinking was to add the text-boxes using AS so I only have 1 on the stage at a time but I couldn't figure out how to do it. I also thought it might be better to just use 1 big event-listeners and from mouseX and mouseY decide which button the user is trying to push.

How would I code this so that when entering a number 1-10 in the text field the MC on the stage will go to that frame? Ie if I enter a 9 the MC playhead will gotoandstop on frame 9. I have attached a .zip file to illustrate
