I wanted to make each button load an swf.How do I connect a button to loading a swf?
contentButton1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, N);
function N(e:MouseEvent){
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("N-Infant.swf");var loader:Loader = new Loader()loader.load(request);addChild(loader);
On the stage I have buttons that should load different swf. Usually I should put all the code on a single "action" layer. But, it is not what I want to do I have a movie clip that I want to play before the loading ( button click - movie clip - loading the swf).
So I put this code at the en of the movieclip:
var mLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var swf;
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(swf);
function startLoad() {
mLoader = new Loader();

i have 20 buttons, and i want to design an external file that holds the coordinates for each named button.
how would i go about this, since the external file would be read as a string by flash?

The problem is that even though this external movie covers the whole stage, My mouse can still "see" buttons that are on the stage, and I can click them. I don't want to be able to click the buttons through my external movie.
this.stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal; with that line of codedoes stage mean the loading of the entire swf is monitored or the loading of objects which are used on the stage are monitored? can specific objects (say a specific movie clip) be targeted?can externally used AS scrips be targeted? and what does "this" doe
View 8 RepliesI'm familiar with using arrays with for loops, where the buttons are created dynamically.However I'm building an application with calendar month grids, where maybe half the dates are clickable. How would I use an array to address these buttons so I don't have to write code for each individual button? Or is there a better way than using an array to keep my code as simple as possible?
View 2 RepliesI've ceated 18 buttons 1-18 on two rows and using the alignment tool made then all gapped the same and in line etc.
I now want to center the two rows of buttons on the stage.
I've shift clicked to select all the buttons but no matter what option I pick in window alignment I can't get it to work.
Anyhow, I have a few buttons (six of them) to scroll from left to right non-stop via looping. Those buttons are in the up state. What I want to achieve is that when someone hovers over one of the buttons, the entire scrolling temporarily stops and perhaps the hovered button becomes larger as well. I'm sure you've seen something similar on ebay listings before shown as slideshows.
my Over buttons are managed via movie clips, but not the Up state buttons.
I want to have serveral different words to appear on my stage with their own buttons. Here is my code for your review.

I have several buttons on stage (8), and I want to add a slighty different action for everyone of them. How do I do that, All the buttons always get the last past of the "FOR"..
Code:
function loadThumbs(eventoUrl:String) {
for(i=1; i<=9; i++) {
temp = this["thumb_"+i];
with (temp) {
image = "fotos/"+eventoUrl+"/thumbs/"+i+".jpg";
loadImages(image, temp);
temp.onRollOver = function() {
this.play();};
temp.onPress = function() {
this.loadImages(image, image_big);
};};};};
loadImages() is a LoadMovieClip type function I created.
how I could resize my swf stage with buttons and change the look of things, without affecting what's in the webcam / chat area of something similar to this: [URL]
View 1 RepliesI have several button symbols on my stage, some of which are enabled while some are not (I enable/disable them using actionscript).I just need a way to access the "enabled" property of all the buttons on the stage so that I have an array which has the full path of enabled buttons and another for the unenabled buttons. That way, in case I have to lock the screen by disabling all the buttons, I'll know which ones to enabled once I turn them back on.

View 7 RepliesMy dynamically loaded background is overlapping my buttons for audio on the stage.
My .fla is located at www.saleck.net/TEMP/U0863279.7z
There are 4 buttons and a Text box on Frame 1, but the background that is loaded in the code overlaps.
I will be having probably hundreds of objects on the stage, which would be very big, at least 4000x4000px. I wanted a way of panning around, either with the mouse or with buttons. I basically want it to work like Googlemaps does. It can't be a single image as everything on the stage is moving and dynamic, coming from an SQL database. Flash was the only way I could think of to bring a graphical map alive from SQL data.

View 2 RepliesI'm using Flash CS5's common library to put some buttons on the stage. I've gone into the classic buttons folder and dragged and dropped a blue oval button onto the stage, and it appears in the library, but the button looks totally different to the one in the library. Where the one in the library has shading and a glow effect, the one on stage looks flat, with just a primary colour and no shading or glow. This occurs whether I drag straight from the common library tab to the stage, or from the library panel on the right to the stage.
View 2 RepliesI have this slideshow type of thing I'm putting together with next and back buttons. Everything works fine until I add audio to the timeline and then all my nav buttons flake out. I don't want to load these files externally or from the library because they are voiceover narration with all my animation synced up with what is being said.
View 4 RepliesI've got as far as adding multiple buttons to the stage with AS3 and giving them unique instance names, but now I have a problem. There is no limit on the amount of buttons that could be present, there could be one or one hundred so I can't hard code.
How would I go about creating event listeners for each button? I tried pushing each instance name into an array then looping through but that gave me an error about how the buttons didn't exist, so it can't listen.
I need to set properties of buttons on the main stage from the current class. How would I do this?
I have multiple buttons on my stage. Each representing a chapter in a movie (from frame x to frame y of the movie).
When I push one of them, the movie plays. When it gets to the end, it should continue to the next segment/chapter. This works, but now I need to highlight the current button, not let the button I pressed be highlighted forever..
Below is my code that works GREAT for using buttons to run functions that either create shapes or load a *.jpg image (I have attached image if you want to run the code and need the image)Problem: When I click on button 1 and it creates and drops my "square" as new movieclip named "stl" and then I go click on button 2 - it places the new shape onto of the first shape create from button 1.
I have tried removechild, removechildat, using numchildren-1, and I thought about creating an if else statement to remove previously placed movie clips from the stage before it runs and places a new instance on the stage but I can't get it to work.

Can the stage size be resized using buttons? The stage itself is a movieclip.... so can I resize it by using a button on the stage?

View 7 RepliesI am pretty new to Flash and AS3. I built a Flash site that loads external XML data that auto loads with each page containing it.url...On the second page "Wines", as you can see, the white wine list auto loads just fine. But I cannot get my actionscript to load the XMLs from the buttons on the right (ie: whites, reds, dessert, champagne) [code] Also, as of right now, in the script I have the wines (fom said XML list) pop up in a new window (go click one to see). But it pops up in a new browser instead of a "popup". This is because I could not find a way to combine the java script with the XML in the actionscript to specify the new window(parent). I would rather it just load into the box (movieclip) dynamically, but I could not get that to work either.[code] Not even my intro Flash teacher can help me nor is there a tutor around either. Im kind of in a bad
position. Its just a matter of finding a person that knows Actionscript! No one knows it well enough in my class to help. If you know of a tutor who has an hour of time, I would be forever in debt. We can chat via AIM & send the raw files even.
I just spent 3 days making a drop-down-button-menu. It looks great.I added it to the HTML of my website, but everytime you load the page, you have to download the ActiveX control...How is it that people have drop-down-button-menus that are flash-based, yet they don't make you download the ActiveX control? Should I just scrap my buttons and try to use CSS, or HTML, or Javascript?
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if anyone could help me solve a problem im having with loading swf's into a swf with buttons. this is the code i have so far:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.ui.Mouse;
var _swfLoader:Loader;
var _swfRequest:URLRequest;
var _swfPathArr:Array = new Array("00.swf","01.swf","02.swf");
var _swfClipsArr:Array = new Array();
[Code]...
This code all works but when it loads the swf you can still press the other buttons which then load in the appropriate swf's. My problem is that i want the user to press the button, lets say "portfolio_btn" which loads in an swf called "01.swf" and for the user to not be able to press any of the other buttons until the "01.swf" has loaded and the same for all the other buttons loading in swf's.
