ActionScript 3.0 :: Multiple Buttons To Move Around Timeline?
Feb 8, 2010
I am creating a point and click game using buttons to move through the timeline. I am using AS3 and am not used to it because I used to use AS2.
Here is my script:
intro.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickHandl er1);
function clickHandler1 (event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("one");
[Code].....
It works for the first button, but an error comes up for the next button:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at skunk_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

how to move an object built from multiple symbols (including movie clips with interactivity) in a timeline other than the root? I tried putting them all in another symbol, but then the interactivity was lost.
On a boad scope, what I'm trying to do is animate a "digital multimeter" out of the way when not in use, and vise versa.

I have a problem when making flash applications with more than one frame that has symbols placed on it in that I can't declare all of the event listeners for the objects at the same time and I have found that even if I put them all on the first frame, add the event listeners, then click through to the next frame then the buttons won't work on that frame.
Does anyone have any idea how I could solve this? I did consider myself a fairly competent AS3 programmer until I realised I had no idea how to handle this sort of thing. Solved: I initialised the clips from my external class and then addChild'd and removeChild'd them as I needed to and placed their x and y on addChilding.

I am attempting to have the main timeline move from a stopped position over a movie clip to frame 1, where my start menu is.The code I'm using does move the timeline but in doing so it somehow breaks the 4 buttons I have in frame 1.
My code in the movie clip:
stop()
function replayMovie(event:MouseEvent):void

function goIntro(event:MouseEvent):void { intro_animation.play(); }

well i want to make buttons that on rollover move to left, on rollout move back to their initial position, and if clicked, they but stay this time at the final rollover place, and be there until something else is clicked. When something else is clicked, the previous button , returns to its initial place. So i ve got it all figured out except for the freeze and move part when the buttons are clicked. All it does now , is when they are clicked they freeze at the position i want, but i havent got a clue how to update them, after so they start moving back, and reacting on rollover and rollout, when the next button is clicked.

I am having trouble with a job I am doing at the moment which has an mc with buttons within it. I want it so that when I roll over the mc it tweens from a small version to a larger version, and on this mc there are some buttons. At the moment I can get the mc to move but the buttons remain inactive and also the rollover states on the buttons don't work. I have attached a simpler version of what I am trying to do to this post.

I'm creating a menu system, the text buttons should, on rollover, move all buttons to the left (of the button currently rolled over) 100 pixels, in the gap created a sub menu running vertically will appear which will break into a 2nd horizontal submenu etc. I'm still in the early stages, and have hit a stumbling block, I placed a trace (this); cmd in root of the roll over function then again in each segement of the IF/ELSE loop inside that fuction. The trace CMD in the root of the rollover gives me the feed back _level0.btn1 or 2 or what ever button I have rolled over but the ones inside the IF/ELSE loop all say _level0.btn0 regardless of the button I roll over!

i have an if statement, an object will go to a new frame if multiple buttons are pressed
PHP Code:[code].....
now i want it so that if one condition is met the mc will goto frame 2, if 2 conditions are met, frame 3 and if 3 conditions are met, frame 4.i know i could do this with a lot of if statements but i have a lot of movie clips to use this code on, so is there any way to write an if statement that will trigger different options if multiple conditions are met?

I am using Flash CS4 with ActionScript 3 and I am fairly new at it. I am struggling with two things.
1. How can I start a movie clip while scrolling over a button? I know how to start a movie clip when a button is clicked.
2. How can I use multiple movie clips for seperate buttons?

I would like for when my mc "touches" a door on my stage, for the animation to jump to another place in the timeline. I do not know how to do that though, but I assume it has something to do with collision detection?

On the main time line I've got movie clip called Z and also n the main timeline I've got another movie clip called B. Inside B I've got a movie clip called C. My problem is - the actionscript written in C makes few objects in the main timeline function (changing colors, displaying notes, input text linked with dynamic text, etc...). I need to move all those objects in to ONE MC in the main timeline (changing colors, displaying notes, input text linked with dynamic text, etc...). But when I move it in to a single MC it wont function! simply the actionscripts won't work!! What should I do to make all those objects in to one mc and still make the actionscript written in C work? p.s. - I've used the _root. command in C.

Not sure if I'm in the right place, I apologize in advance if so. I'm somewhat proficient with html, but fairly new to flash, using cs4pro, as3. Here's my dilemma. Converting an existing html/css site to flash. Flash is main site now but a few html pages are still linked, a buy page and a form page, a few others. I can get the all the external html pages to link to a frame in the flash movie, and I can get the flash to link with all external urls.
My problem comes when I move to a frame outside the main timeline. The movie is lets say 393 frames. All symbols/content are on seperate layers, and so is the action. Once the full movie ends, I have several frames past that where I have basically created frames for additional "pages" and created anchors for those frames, new layes for content, new layers for anchor (labeled) and new layers for a stop(); on each frame, I extended the pertinant graphic frames out to 410 from the original movie.
Now when the movies runs the buttons appear at about frame 115, so in the action layer I coded a keyframe and then added frames of it out to frame 410 or so: I have attached the .fla Now I'm lost here. When you navigate the site, from home lets say to an external link (button) like members, the html member page opens, and if you click home button, back to flash frame, and all works, all buttons, on the home frame 393. But if you go to any of the external htmls, and then go back to any other frame like frame 401 the about page, and all the rest 402 403, etc, the page appears properly, but then none of the links function. the site URL is [URL]there is a flash intro too, swf in question is actually at[URL]

I'm building up a site in flash CS4 using AS2.i have a movieclip that acts as a button where it displays severall other movie clips inside of it, for example mc1, mc2, mc3; I'm trying to set a value to a variable that tells me at the time the end user presses it which movieclip is playing.I've done this by adding: var cb = "sp"; on the first frame of each movieclips (mc1 stands for "sp"; mc2 stands for "te")
On the main movie clip, they are displayed sequentially, so on my perspective, when mc1 starts, the value of the variable cb should be set to sp. That way, when the user releases the mouse button, the timeline should move to the specified frame.Here's the code I have for the Mouse event:
bannermiddle.onRelease = function() {
if (cb == sp) {
bannermiddle.gotoAndStop(3);[code]........
I've had the trace to the code so I could see if the value is correctly set, but it keeps showing undefined...
