ActionScript 3.0 :: Linking The Invisible Buttons?
Feb 18, 2009
I have created 3 invisible buttons over a graphic. Each has its own button layer and action layer. For each action layer I have used:
my_button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickHandler1);
function clickHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("
[code]....
When I test the movie I see the hand icon so I know it's an invisible button, but when I click on it, it goes out of the flash play like it wants to go to a browser, but nothing happens. When I upload the files I can see the hand icon again, but nothing happens when I click on the link. I tried the changing the .html file that it is housed in to an .htm file, but that didn't work either.

I am having a problem linking an invisible button to a url. I have 3 invisible buttons that have an action script as follows:
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickHan dler1);
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickHan dler2);
button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickHan dler3);
function clickHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("mywebsite"));
[Code] .....
After I upload the files, I can see the hand icon when I mouse over them, but when I click on that spot nothing happens. I have two text links on the same page that do work. One is an email link and the other is a url link. I have check the button names to my code and they do match.

I've got a few HBoxes with buttons in them. I programmatically make certain buttons invisible. At a certain point, all of the buttons should be invisible. How can I tell when all of the buttons are invisible? What's the easiest way of doing so?

I have a 2 frame flash movie where the first has a group of names that are clickable hidden by actionscript. You need to click directors, then the names come up and then click the name to go to the 2nd frame of the move which brings in their information dynamically. This has a close button that takes you back to the first frame. My problem is that when going back to the first frame after closing the CV data, it still shows the area where those names were listed as clickable even though they aren't visible.
The code on frame 1 that I think is relative is below. The movie clip that houses the clickable name list is called bodBorderMC and it's loading the directors so I'm not sure if directors in the code works with that.

I don't know if it's an AS3 thing, or a Flash 10 thing, both of which I don't work in frequently..... (usually, I'm working in Flash 8, and AS2 for most of my projects)
Basically, when I have invisible content over a button in my flash movie, the button no longer works. Like I said, it's something that's never been an issue before.
Where it shows up is when I want to make a piece of content visible over a button when the user mouses over the button, so the piece of content would start over the button with its alpha set to 0. I would typically change the visibility of the object I want to make visible when the button is rolled over. But now when that object is over my button at 0 opacity, the button no longer works....and again, I've never had this be an issue before.

I have a file where everything is on frame one, and I have a nav bar. I want there to be a couple of buttons showing up below the main nav bar when one nav button is clicked, then disappearing when any of the other buttons are clicked.

I'm somewhat stuck in a project that I have to deliver next Friday. Thing is... I've got to code a webpage like The Killers Band webpage with a panoramic picture moving according to your mouse movements.
I've tried several things already, but I had no success yet. (Everything must be coded in AS2.0, and I'm using Flash CS3 to cover the project).
All I have is the panoramic picture, which I might be able to upload if you ask me to.
Additional info:
I've already converted the background picture into a movie clip symbol. Also, if I ever have to send the picture to anyone, I'll send it as a Private Message, since I can't post links yet.

stop();
scrolling = function () {
var scrollHeight:Number = scrollTrack._height;

I know of a couple of methods of implementing an invisible button or "hotspot" or clickable area:
1) Draw a fill region on a Sprite with an alpha of 0.
2) Create a Button with only a hitArea
Which method would be less resource intensive? Since Adobe recommends against using too much alpaha, I image (2) is better. Are there other methods which could be even less resource intensive? In the movie I am doing, there will be many of these on the screen so optimziing for performance is important.

I need to show different custom pointer when mouseover 2 different invisible buttons. These are next and back buttons which cover the entire left and right part of the stage. How this can be done in as3? Or is there a better way of doing it? I checked out the import flash.ui adobe live doc but can't quite make head and tail of it. I guess the example shown is only to change to custom cursor for entire stage.

I keep hearing about using a big invisible button on the top layer of your flash movie when you want any click to take you to another website for example. But what Ive done is a little different. My very BOTTOM layer is a background gradient, which is obviously not invisible. In my actionscript I have Gradient.onRelease = function () {getURL... etc etc This seems to work on my computer. The question is, is this a bad practice? Will this fail on some versions of flash players/browsers? Is the invisible button method better? It just seems dumb to do the invisible button thing when i have a perfectly sized background gradient that seems to work.

I thought I had a good hold on how to create buttons from a class, but my invis class will not return the button that is created to my fla. I have been able to access functions of invis class from my fla, even instantiate the object, but none of the button states carry over to the fla. If you can help I'd appreciate it. I placed the code below.
invis class
Code:
package {
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
import flash.display.Shape;
[code]...
The trace seen in the button fla return null, somehow none of the states are applied to the object.

I have some movie clips turned buttons (by way of mc.buttonMode = true and friends) that scroll by an invisible button area, and when they are 'under' that area, none of their mouse events work. How can I still catch their mouse events in addition to the MOUSE_OVER of the invisible button on top?

This was created with frames in dreamweaver and the nav bar and index page movie are swf files. When you click on the pages in the nav bar it redirects to the index page. It does this the majority of the time and every now and again when you click it will go to the actual page.The way it is set up in dreamweaver, it has the nav movie in the top frame and the content in the bottom. All I did was change the old i.p address to the domain name because our host changed. I did nothing else and then this started not working correctly.I have checked and double checked all links in flash and they work from the swf but when it is loaded in the browser it does that weird linking to the index again. This is the code in flash to link to the pages:
on(release) {
getURL("http://www.fostersfreeze.com/Food.html","_top");
}

Is there a way to link a button to a .SWF file and if not is there a way to import an .fla file into a new scene of a different .fla file and then link the button to that scene? I am kind of a beginner to actionscript but I know some basics and am willing to learn.

I'm having trouble figuring how to get the buttons to reference the correct imageBox and position the imageHolder. The imageHolder is a movieclip on the main stage and inside of that are a series of imageBoxes attached for each image. You can click on each image and the imageHolder will move and the images will enable and disable. If you click on a button the current image will fade but then return to 100% alpha. It's not completing the disableImages function.
You can view a swf of it HERE. Probably viewing it will be better than anything I can describe.
This is the actionscript for enabling and disabling images and for positioning the imageHolder: ActionScript Code:
function disableImages() {
for (i=0; i<imageTotal; i++) {
imageHolder["imageBox"+i].enabled = false;
[Code]....

I am currently working on an outdoors project. You can view the website here to see what I mention below.
The problem I am running into is that I want the Yahoo, Camospace, and Myspace logos to link to their respective websites when clicked.
All of the current action scripts I have found do not work for me at all.
I am using Flash CS4 v10, action script 3.0

Im making a flash program about pancakes (random I know). I have a "Mainmenu" scene and then a "Recipe" scene. I have a button on my mainmenu which takes me to the recipe page when I click it, the code behind the button is
"stop();btn_recipe.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop(1, "Recipe"); }"
Then when I arrive at my recipe page I have a button which will take me back to my MainMenu, the code behind that button is:
"stop();btn_home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouse5DownHandler);function mouse5DownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(1, "MainMenu"); }"
So I run my program and the first button works and takes me to recipe page but the button to get to the main menu does nothing, click it and no response or anything

I have laid out the four pages that I wish and have created a button for each page on each page.I was told a simple stop script would stop the pages acting like a movie.I entered:
14:00PM
stop();
function button1_clicked(e:MouseEvent) :void{ gotoAndStop("home");}
function button2_clicked(e:MouseEvent) :void{ gotoAndStop("about");
[code]....
which I was told would accomplish this and link the buttons to the relevant pages. When I test the movie the buttons start flickering as well as the images.....

So I have 3 buttons. One button links to an animation, the second button links to a different animation, and the third one shows the links. The first button works properly, but when I click on the second button, it goes back to the animation that is shown at the first button. How do I fix this? Here is my code for the first button:
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,mou seDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(1, "random");
}
I have made sure that the button's instance name is button2, and that the scene name is "random".
Here is my code for the second button:
button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,mou seDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler2(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(1, "random1");
}

basically I had a situation arranged where when a button was clicked and flash would then display a certain image by jumping to a label on the timeline, and by clicking a different button a different image would be shown. this was working pretty well but for layout reasons I had to split these buttons and the timeline that they relate to up into separate movie clips. obviously the buttons dont do anything now, but what i'm hoping to find out is how I can link these items back up despite them being in separate movie clips. is this possible?

1. I have very little flash experience, but have been tasked with creating a presentation.
2. I have decided that if each slide was a movie clip, it would keep my timeline tidy.
3. In the attached fla, you will see there are 2 slides, with (green squares) for buttons. The purpose of the button in the first slide is to advance to the second movieclip in the timeline and the purpose of the button in the slide2 movie clip is to go to and play the label "start" from the first movie.
However, nothing I do seemed to work. I'm hoping someone can talk me through it so I can replicate the button functions throughout the file for multiple movieclips / 'slides'
I've attached a txt file with the URL to where the .fla can be downloaded

I am relatively new to Flash development. I have a scene that contains 3 buttons that are movie clips. I am trying to link each button to a seperate scene but no matter what script i use the buttons do not click through to the new scene.
Each scene consists of 20 frames that need to play when each button is clicked on, so rather than using gotoandstop i am trying to use gotoandplay to a specific frame within each of these scenes.
