I just wanna create my own website using actionscript 3. I. I have 4 buttons, each links to a specific page but instead of using frames for each page. I just want a whole movieclip wherin the target page moves to its target loation. Here's the attached image[code]...
View 3 Repliesi need help to this seemingly simple, yet frustrating issue i am having with AS3.
issue i have multiple movieclips on a timeline and i need the first one to load, play through all frames, than i need flash to move to the next movieclip in the timeline [load, play, than stop and wait for user input].
- i am completely new to AS3, i have used AS2 for years.
- i am moving all production in our studio to AS3 [so no AS2 comments or recommendations]
- i have been able to do this in AS2, but i understand that AS3 does not use roots, levels, etc.
- i have tried the gotoAndPlay(); [but i am not setting it up correctly to navigate to root timeline to find the frame name that the next movieclip resides in. in otherwords i can not get flash to go back to the root timeline]
- is it better in AS3 to find the movieclip or the frame it resides in?
i want to gor from movieclip to scene 1, where i have set my menu on timeline.
Actually i have main movieclip on main timeline of scene 1, and inside that main movieclip , i'm having number of sub movieclips, so from that any movieclip i want go back return to scene 1.
on release of the button, how do I navigate to a completely different movie clip? so I know about _parent and _root in terms of moving between layers but say I wanted the press of a button to gotoAndStop(2); inside a different movie clip that is not parented or on the _root?
View 2 RepliesI wanted to setup an array of movieclip buttons to navigate across my timeline via labels, this is where it went pear shaped.
Having spent three days reading and attempting most online solutions I couldn't find a method which worked 100% without failing in some way or another.
I've had some joy with the method below having seen a blog entry covering different ways to call frames etc and which highlighted the bugbear below :
clipArray[i].mouseChildren = false; //Hidden bugbear
I've added the full code below so hopefully it may help anyone else who similarly nearly resorted to hari-kari in trying this.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
var clipArray:Array = [btn_1,btn_2]; // Movieclip's called btn_1 etc...
[Code]....
This works fine, now however my understanding of whether it is 'good' code or not is an issue, if this could be improved in any way I'd like to know why and how as the problem with learning AS3 from 2 is that often you use code having seen it online without fully grasping the detail.
Adding MovieClip buttons with fluidity and which cancel out from an array became a three day mission when you're learning...
Is it possible to have an movieclip of about 50 frames and navigate between these 50 frames? As if u put a marker on frame 10 and one at frame 30 and if u use a button it plays to frame 10 and stops and use another button to go from frame 10 to frame 30 and stop... and reverse if u use the earlier button.
View 5 RepliesI have created a swf (image1.swf) that has 2 "tweens" in it with a "stop" action at frame 20. I loaded the swf file correctly (into the current swf file "document 1") and it works the way I want it to by running and stopping at frame 20, code: on (release) {loadMovieNum("image1.swf",30);} The question I have is, is it possible to hit a button in my current swf file "document 1" and have it jump to a specific frame and play in my other swf file for instance jump to frame 21 and play to frame 40 in the image 1.swf. file?
View 3 RepliesI've got a slide show going on and the client wants it when it reaches the final slide, the next click of the right arrow button takes you to a URL. Thought I had it down in an if statement but it's not working.
var slides:Array=[slide1_mc,slide2_mc,slide3_mc,slide4_mc,slide5_mc, slide6_mc,slide7_mc,slide8_mc,slide9_mc,slide10_mc ,slide11_mc,slide12_mc,slide13_mc,slide14_mc,slide 15_mc,slide16_mc,slide17_mc,slide18_mc,slide19_mc, slide20_mc,slide21_mc,slide22_mc,slide23_mc,slide2 4_mc];[code].........
stop()
var home_req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("home.html");
function home(event:MouseEvent):void[code].....
I created this flash intro (CS3) and after this flash intro, I want the home page to come up. It's not doing it. What am I doing wrong in this code? I want it to open in the same page.After my into, it's just a blank web page.
I need to have buttons on a flash banner open a page using a relative link" intro_develop.asp"
I have buttons coded as
function buttonClickone(e:MouseEvent):void{ navigateToURL(new URLRequest(" intro_develop.asp"));}
which gives me the page opening in a new window.
What url code do I use for a relatve path to open in its own window same but add _self?
Im having trouble navigating from one point in a movie clip to another.My structure is looking like this:root > Products(mc) > Bracelet(mc)i have a button in the Bracelet Movieclip, which i want to navigate to frame 70 in the Products movie clip. Framelables dont work.
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to make a menu with a text that you can click on, and an animation will start - expanding a new three-button menu beneath it.These three seperate buttons were supposed to have their own menus expanding to the right of it when they are clicked.[code]the button is named "effekt" and the movieclip that is supposed to start is called "elforbrukning" of course. Why won't it work? I have tried _global and _parent._parent instead of _root with no success. I'm running out of ideas."kvadratmeter" and "effekt" lies in the same movieclip, is that the problem?
View 8 RepliesI have used flash in the head of my pages and have added navigation bar within that header I have attached code to the message so you are able to see the actionscript I have used to control said navigation. The problem is this does not seem to be working as I cannot navigate from one page to another
View 3 RepliesI have put 2 days into this simple problem now and I'm ready to give up and go back to AS2.I'm using CS4; publish settings AS3, 10.0. I have a button on frame 2 that should take me to frame 3 when clicked.(So far I've tried a hundred different ways but I don't get to frame 3...)Different things I tried...
> Creating the button dynamically from the library...
> Inserting it statically from the library on frame 2...
> referencing the mainTimeline through a variable...
> wrapping the gotoAndStop action in another function...(if placed directly on the timeLine the movie correctly goes straight to frame 3)
> naming frame 3...
> using 'nextFrame' instead of 'gotoAndStop'...etc..
In most cases I don't get an error in the output panel and no compiler error either; it just doesn't work!!!(Just stays on the same frame after I click the button)Here's the code I think should work; but doesn't.
Long time flash "dabbler" who has avoided using scripts as long as possible. But now finds himself having to use CS4 and AS3.
I have a situation that would have been easy to handle in older version of Flash or Swish. Previousely if I had an imported FLV or SWF that was 7 seconds long at 20 FPS I would have gone to frame 140 and set a getURL action to redirect to a webpage at the end of the movie.
But with CS4 & AS3, this is not so simple anymore.
I have a button that when pressed successfully invokes the navigateToURL parameter when pressed. But at the same time I am playing an FLV in the background that is 7 seconds long.
What I need to do is have a timed event that at the end of 7 seconds (7000 milliseconds) then invokes the navigateToURL function.
how to accomplish this? I have looked all over and have not seen anything that accomplishes this.
Here is what i have as my script on frame 1 in my actions layer including some timed event scripting
stop();
// We need to import the utils packageimport flash.utils.*;
// Create a new Timer object with a delay of 7000 msvar introTimer:Timer = new Timer(7000);introTimer.addEventListener("timer", timedFunction);
[Code]....
I use scrollbar at the bottom of the timeline to go to different frames. This is slow if I have thousands of frames. I wonder if there is a similar interface like the Actions window for labels on timeline. I mean you can see all the scripts at left pane and be able to go there directly by clicking on anyone on the list. I would be nice if you can see all your labels in a menu and click to go there directly (I believe Director has that). Maybe I can put some dummy script in different label and then I can use Action window to travel to there.
View 2 RepliesI was wondering is there a way to have an embedded swf navigate to different pages of a pdf?
Example:my swf is on page one. There are mulitple buttons in the swf, when clicked it will take you to page 3, or 5, or 7, etc.
Currently, when I click on a button, it DOES take me to say page 4, but the content on page is the SWF file from page 1, and not the content that is suppose to be on page 4.[code]...
would someone have the code necessary to navigate to a pdf file if its possilbe?
Here is some suggested code but it doesn't work.
pdfDoc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goToPdfDoc);
function goToPdfDoc(event:MouseEvent):void{ navigateToURL(getURL("mydoc.pdf"), "_self");
}

What is the best way to navigate through an actionscript swf using arrows?
View 1 Repliesfellow action script programmers, I'm new to this forum and new to AS3, But I'm not not new to Flash. Anyways, I'm having an issue with my AS3 code and its ability to cooperate with an iFrame... I use to do this all the time in FP7 and FP8 but Adobe has changed how this works by making it all dependent code in AS3. Below is my code for AS to communicate to the iFrame, however it still goes to a new window. What is being done wrong here and what do I do to fix it?

Ok I have create several buttons to navigate to other urls, and one of them is working but the other 3 I have are not working. All I did was copy over the code and change the differences between the two. I don't get any errors or anything but when I click on them nothing happens...
var myspaceSite:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.myspace.com/thehangoutinfo");
myspaceBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goMyspace);
function goMyspace(e:Event){
navigateToURL(myspaceSite);
}
I have enclosed the Menu with the following actionscript. I want to make the menu so you can use the arrow keys to navigate. I have the menu set up as an array and so when a button is clicked it stays the color and I have the first part of the using the keys down. I haven't written the functions for nextImage and prevImage, thats part of what I need help on. I just need to bridge the code to get the directional keys involved.
Code:
listen = new Object();
listen.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.UP) {

View 1 RepliesI have a Button within a movieclip. The movieclip does a show/hide function when a button is pressed. The button simply contains:

However, this button action does not function.
How do i change the code so that when i click an icon, it navigates to another frame and the whole carousel is gone?

what's the simplest way to navigate within one timeline? I have a simple 5 page site and in a code layer, I assigned this script for each button: Home_button.onPress = function(){ gotoAndStop("home");
So when I tested the movie, I realized that I need something to make the playhead not move until something is clicked. Right? Do I still need to go into the actions for each button and say something like gotoAndPlay?
