View 14 RepliesIm trying to add an exit button onto my program so when its clicked it exits the program completely.. I've tried some of the suggestions on the forums but they arnt working. what I have been using and its not working..
// CLICK to Exit
exit_Btn.addEventListener("mouseUp", goExit);
function goExit(evt:MouseEvent) {
fscommand("quit");
};
What button event should I use to make the program understands to DO SOMETHING only when the button is pressed/dragged. In my sample code below, I want something to happens only if the button is dragged beyond 200 in y axis. I tried onRelease, onRollOver and onDragOver but still not working

View 2 RepliesI have a button inside another button which is inside a movieclip. *whew*I have it so that when you click on the movieclip, a dialog box pops up. I have two buttons on the dialog box, but for some reason you can't click on them and when you do, the dialog box just disappears. Here's a picture of what I'm talking about, so how do i get the "YES/NO" buttons to work? Oh, the buttons are not included in that Graphic
View 6 RepliesSo I'm creating this flash game for our company's 2010 halloween greeting card and I'm having some problems.All it is an swf that has balloons randomly moving upward.Each balloon is a movie clip that has another "button" movie clip inside of it. As you click on each balloon, the balloon pops and then recreates itself. The only problem is that the button inside the balloon is not acting like a button the entire time.
The upward movement is being called through an enterFrame event listener and the use of the button goes in and out as the balloon moves upward. It's a pain because you have to click the balloon multiple times in order to get the balloon to pop. Does anyone know why this is or if there is an alternative to enterFrame?
how do we refer the submenubutton which hasbeen masked inside a movie clip.
In my code ,
mainBtn3 is present inside "mm " movie clip . and on click of it I am able to move to another frame using below code . But, if there is a sub menu for the button , and if I am referring it as below [mm.btn3sub1] and trying to move to another frame . I am getting following error
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at sumiyatried12356_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

I have issues with the buttons working from the SWF file which is brought into the main flash site via UILoader.
[Code]...
I gathered that it is most probably due to the fact that I have constructed a button in the improper way.I tried to redo a button but it was the same result.I would like to try to access it through the main timeline. What would be the whole block of code to put a function on the button located inside an external SWF which is called in via a UILoader?
I have flip_mc which contains listSide_mc and videoInfoSide_mc both of the above mc's contain a button name spin_btn.My flip_mc should rotate around the y axis and swapping whichever of the 2 (listSide_mc and videoInfoSide_mc) should be visible.All the rotating and adding a child stuff works fine.BUT the whole flip_mc seems to be a button, the spinIt function runs when I click anywhere on the mc, it should only happen when I click the spin_btn buttons.[code]
View 1 RepliesI'd like to show my print portfolio in different slide shows on Flash CS4 using buttons that correspond to categories such as: brochures, posters, logos, etc. I've made the buttons and I created slide shows in Powerpoint--but if there is a better way in Flash, let me know. How do I code the buttons to play their corresponding slideshows? I don't want them visible until the button is clicked.

View 1 Repliesi want to add a restart button to my little program, just want it to run again whenever i click the button "start_mc" after it's previous thread completed. i put the following lines in the beginning of code.
start_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startRestart);
function startRestart(event:MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
unfortunately after the program run end and i click on the button, it doesn't do anything. i wonder what can go wrong with this simple button function. I have another event listener in this program for file loading, is there conflict between them? besides this restart button the program is running ok itself.
so say i have
link_mc.onRollOver = function() {
controlling a button. when users rollover that one there is another button named happy_mc that pops up. how would i code it so that that button (happy_mc) works inside of link_mc?
I have a button containing 2 child buttons. I want to be able to keep the mouse over state active, when I rollover a child button. At present it fires mouse out when i rollover a child button, I suspect this is correct, but not what I want to happen.

I've made a mask with a FLVPlayback inside and with a sliding bar that appears when I make rollover in the FLVPlayback. All working well. I want to put some simple controls in the sliding bar like pause or play, but I can't access the buttons because they are inside a first button ( the FLVPlayback ) that triggers the sliding bar. How can I make to have a button inside another button area?

I've two movie clips. my first mc as a button is on stage(part of many buttons) when user click on it opens up across the page(works perfect), in this page I want show three scrollbars with three buttons each button for different scrollbar but these buttons don't work, even cursor don't change to hand shape.
View 5 Replies[URL]you can see that scrolling list I have. My problem is, I need the user to be able to click the "send to phone" button, but since I have RollOver and release links on the list, it wont allow me to select the send to phone button. Here is my AS..its loading the text from XML

Let's say I have 3 buttons (movieclips) and, using AS2, I want that when mouse is over a button, that button changes its state, something like
[Code]...
so that the same thing happens for each button when the mouse is rolled over it, by simply calling for each button a function inside which I refer to the button by using "this". And the problem is I cannot (don't know) how to do this in AS3. I mean if I use "this" inside a function, this refers to the main timeline. So is there a possibility to write a function like

View 1 RepliesI have a menu with five nav buttons (atcually MovieClips). Each has three frame labels: "on", "stay", and "off". The rollover and rollout animations play flawlessly, but I'm at a loss as to how to give each button a sticky "active" state. I'd like the button to stay in it's active state until another button is clicked, then I would like it to play it's "off" animation. Each MC has this code:

I want to take a static text field, convert it into a button, and use it as a button. I need it static, because I changed orientation, and I do not know how to do that otherwise. The problem is, even though I converted it to a Button symbol, it does not work when I test the movie. It works fine with "Enable simple buttons", but when I test it, the button is not there, no change in mouse cursor, no reaction at all.So this is what I did:
Made text. // static, not selectable, Orientation: vertical left to right, / //rotated; Two filters: Drop Shadow and Glow;
Converted text field to Button - Symbol (scrollBT)
Editing the Button,I put the same content (the static text field) in all four frames: No luck, not working. without the Hit frame filled (which I think doesn't really make a difference): No luck, not working.Tried again, converting the static text field in the button into a Graphic Symbol: No luck, not working.Tried again, and put some differences in the frames for "ON" and "OVER" etc.: No luck, not working.Tried again, duplicating a similar, working button, edited it, and: No luck, not working.
To the button itself and the AS: The button will be a scroll-button for a text field, with different scroll speeds on rollover and press, but nothing else. The code for that I have (I think). It's something like (and please excuse my incorrect syntax here, but I'm typing from memory; still, I use the Script-Assistant and my syntax is apparently correct; it's also working with other buttons):
on {rollOver} {
function (scroll) {
textfieldtxt.scroll - = 1;}[code]....
I'm at the end of my wits. The only difference I can tell from other (working) buttons I did the same way, is that the scrollBt does not do anything except scrolling, while all of the others have frame actions (gotoAndplay etc.) associated with them.
