I have kind of a follow up question what would the procedure be if I had like a slide show and each slide when you clicked on it there would be multiple links this is the code I have so far: My slideshow instance names are pic_000_mc to pic_004_mc
[Code]....
I know there is a better and more efficient way to do this then to have all five different functions and listeners.
I'm having trouble figuring out how to get this image slideshow to have separate links for each picture. I've researched online and I can't seem to make sense of what I've found in relation to the code I have.
ActionScript Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

I am new to flash and I created a gallery that loads the pictures from an xml file. I was wondering how I could create the links to each picture dynamically from the xml sheet in a seperate movieClip named "menu_mc".
View 5 RepliesI am trying to have multiple links off site but have hit a brick wall. If I have the code listed below, it opens the second link as soon as you open the links page, If I have the"function onLinkClick (evt)", above btn6_btn I end up with the duplicate error message. Is there a way to have multiple link buttons on a page. I have played with this for hours.

I have a flash file with several layers, each composing of a single movie clip which slides in over the layer below it. The movie clips are nothing more than static images. I would like to make it so that each "slide" links to a different URL.I am new to AS3, and I am just getting back on the flash wagon with this little banner rotating project, so I'm a bit confused with why layers, and timeline positioning seem to be effecting the links.I found a few tutorials online, and can manage to make one link on the bottom layer work, but when I try to expand the code and the file to create links from different movie clips on different layers, I run into problems. when I add the action script for the other buttons, the movie will fail to play by it's self on load. I can get this to work with ode:this.gotoAndPlay(1)at the top of the ActionScript But none of the other links work.Here is what I am using for more than one link:
Code:
backpacks.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myButtonFunction);
function myButtonFunction(event: MouseEvent) {

I want to make a picture gallery and use buttons that move you from picture to picture and backwards, but I don't want to tell button 1 to go to frame 2 and button 2 to got to frame 3 and so on (I hope you know what I mean)Can I use on button on a separate layer with the same action set? I tried something like that, but it didn't work:
on (release) {
thisframe =+1
}
[code]........
but it didn't work. I'm kind of new to any action script other than gotAndPlay, easy functions and all that.
I have a .png file with 16x16 tiles that I want to make into their own variables. I've tried using BitmapData like this:
bitmapData=new BitmapData(16,16,true,0x000000);
bitmapData.draw(loader);
bitmap=new Bitmap(bitmapData);
addChild(bitmap);But I then realised that would only work for the top-left tile of the picture. How would I be able to get the rest of the tiles?
Working on a picture gallery with multiple pages. The basic idea of what I'm trying to do is I get a list of all thumbs, separate the list in groups of 20 and then add all the groups to a MC that slides left and right when the user presses a left or right button.This is the code I've written:
Code:
if ((totalPics % 20) > 0)

this is probably a daft question but I'm a complete novice so bear with me. I need to know if it's possible to upload a picture to my Flash stage (a row of buttons I made in photoshop) and then somehow select each of these buttons and turn them into working button symbols? Or do I have to (very annoyingly) upload each button as a seperate picture in a seperate layer before turning it into a button symbol?
View 10 RepliesI'm trying to pull data from an XML file into a TextArea to take advantage of the scroll bar capabilities.I have two XMLLists, XListCopy & XListURLs. XListCopy is basically a list of words that need to be on their own line. While the XListURLs are the respective links for those words.Since at the moment, I'm using appendText obviously any links will be merged into one. Is there any way to separate each & make each clickable?
View 11 RepliesI have a banner that I'm creating, it has 5 images that rotate via motion tweening. I've created an invisibile button (and also attempted to create multiple buttons) so that when you click on a specific image it will bring you to that URL. So far I have only gotten it to work for the final URL. No matter which image I click on, it only brings up that last URL.
Here is my code:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler1);
function buttonClickHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {

we have a project that will be using a flash based 'flip book' to display approximately 3000 products.
The issue is that there needs to be a button placed on each product that will link to the main website.
With out publishing 3000 buttons with different actionscripted links, is there a more automated way to do this?
I'm working on a project for a client and I'm doing something I have never done in Flash. The Flash first loads four images that have been converted to buttons. Those four by itself link correctly, but when I add the code for the next two sets of images the code breaks and none of the links work. I'm not sure what to do. Here is the code for the first two sets of images:
The last two links cause a problem. I get Error 1120 access of undefined object. However, when I click the button and look in the properties box it says Instance of BTN_Adult01 and Instance of BTN_ModelFemale so I'm not sure what the problem is.
I tried to paste my source code but it won't let me because it contains links and I don't have enough posts, but I did attach the file.
My goal is making a navigation section that is a scrollable box. I thought the easiest solution was to make a dynamic text box and put a scroll bar on it. Worked until it came time to make the links. It is only letting me make one link for all the text. Also I think I want more control for the mouseover look.

View 1 RepliesSWF functions beautifully on its own (i.e., animations play, rollovers work). However, when uploaded to the server and dropped into the HTML with the proper plug-ins, the links suddenly cease to function. Flash still plays beautifully - it's just the links that seem to disappear. The one browser where the links seem to work 'as is' is Firefox on PC.
I am using the basic but usually effective:
on (release) { getURL("http://www.site.com"); }
Sorta-solution:Added "_blank" to the end of the script and this worked in all tested browsers... however, the client wants the URL to open in the same window (they have asked not to provide the actual link). Anyone have a concrete idea as to why and how to fix this?
For the past half-year I've been coding like this:
ActionScript Code:
_root.menu_mc.link1.onRollOver = function () {
_root.menu_mc.link1.text.htmlText = "<FONT COLOR='#000000'>" + "Cool" + "</FONT>";
_root.menu_mc.link1.text.thickness = 100;

I know and I've seen some more efficent code such as, making loops and assigning variables.
get started by making the above code more efficient? I've attached the source file.
I have a very simple flash project that I need to be completed tommorow or my head is in the block! I am new to Flash and Actionscript but work well with PHP so do have some idea of what I am doing but, this has left me stumped and in trouble if I don't get it done! Basically my movie is very simple. I have a background and after a short break my first scene flys on with one link then leaves - then the second with a different link, then the third.
I converted all links to buttons and gave them instance names 'button1_btn', button2_btn' and 'button3_btn' and then added my new layer for the action script. Below is the actionscript I used to make the buttons work:

I recently used the loadMovie action to load a .swf file to a target in the movie which it was being called from. Then I tried calling a picture to another target in the movie, but it did not load the picture as intended. I read about it on my book, but it didn't seem to work. Is there anyways on calling a picture into a target in the movie without placing the picture inside an swf file?

i created a flash slideshow with pictures of events and link each picture with its own event (ie. each pictures has its own links to the website). I created the fade in and fade out effect using the class motion tween. With the link, I created a layer with a button that has alpha= 0 (so the user don't see it) and then I used code snippet to make another layer with the action script "click to go to url."
When the slideshow goes to the last picture I made it fade out and the first picture of the slideshow would show up and then the slideshow would replay itself (by default?). My goal is to make a continuous slideshow.
When I tested the swf file, the first time it runs, everything is right. The urls and the pictures are in correct order. However when the slideshow replays itself automatically, I notice that the links are incorrect. In the first play, when I click the picture of the event it would open the url of that event.However when the sldieshow replays, clicking the pictures would only open the url of the first event picture. When I click on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.pictures the browser opens only the link of the first picture of the slideshow.
