I am using the following code to remove all buttons on a scene but it throws a RangeError and leaves behind one button.

var childCount:int = _mc.numChildren;
var i:int;
for (i = 0; i < childCount; i++)

I am tring to remove the flvplayback compiled clip from the stage with the following code but it only stop the movie, it does not remove the actuall player.
on (release) {
_root.instance1.instance2.my_FLVPlybk.stop(); _root.instance1.instance2.my_FLVPlybk.removeMovieClip();
}
I have a problem in ActionScript 3 with a project where I am to output a bunch of data in a diagram and as pure text. This is not the problem, though. The problem is that when the user changes the type of data he wants shown. I would then remove the currently shown columns in the diagram, and add new ones. But my code removes ALL columns, so that there is no diagram at all!
I've done it all in Flash CS5, and the columns are instances of an object I made (a rectangle) which I just add to the stage. All the instances are added to the container "container." When I want to remove them, and add new ones I use:
var container = new Sprite(); // The container for my diagram
function emptyContainer() {
if (container.numChildren > 0) {
[Code]...
I wonder where to place my function for removing all children, to remove just those children that were added earlier. To matter where I place the function (at the start of fChange, at the beginning of each case) there is NO diagram shown, either new or old.

I am very new to flash. I am building an interactive video player. I am trying to get one scene to go to another scene with the use of a button, but everything I do is not working. I keep geting the null error when it tries to look at the scene I am directing it to. I have looked at other forums and can not seem to find a resolution. The first scene just seems like it doesnt want to stop and then when it does the null error comes up. Here is the last action code that I have been using.

I have 5 movieClip buttons. I want the GALLERY button to stay on the stage at all times, "which it does" but i want when the user clicks on 1 of the other 4 buttons for the remaining 3 to disappear.

Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

I'm creating a game in which you have to click/shoot the correct number as it passes by and when the scoreboard reaches 2 certain scores I need the scenes to change. I've managed to make it work for one scene where when the score hits 10 it changes to the next part of the game. However I also need to make it so that when the score hits -5 the scene changes to the "Final Score" scene where the player is taken if they lose. When I tried to use the same script I used the first time I just didn't know where to place it and it didn't work. How can I have 2 scripts working on the same timeline so that if the score reaches 10 the game proceeds but if it reaches -5 the game ends?

Iīd like to know if itīs necessary to remove event listeners from buttons. I know it's good practice to remove event listeners when its use is over. But itīs necessary to remove event listeners for buttons as well?
View 1 RepliesBelow 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.

Is there any way to disable the yellow border (focusrect) that appears around buttons when tabbing through them or at least make it more eye pleasing?
View 4 RepliesI've got this scene which is a movie clip; the only movement is in the models eyes, so I want to add invisible buttons around the scene that the user can interact with. When a certain object is clicked (the button) it triggers a short movie clip in the bottom corner of the scene, which is basically a text box typing letters.
However, I've tried to do this and I've come across two problems.
One, I can only click the button once, it won't repeat itself again.
Two, I can only seem to add one button as it's a movie clip and it messes with the others in the scene.
Here's a screen grab of what I've got: [URL]
I want multiple buttons in this scene, and I want to be able to click them as many times as I like.
I've looked at endless tutorials, including ones that just say "copy this code" and none of it works, so here I go: I want to make a flash document that will play 20 different scenes. The scenes are independent of one another (will stop when they reach their end rather than continuing to the next, etc.), and are selected for viewing via a navigation bar on the left side (with 20 buttons respective of each scene, obviously). So, I've tried numerous code to try and make the first frame of each scene recognize all the buttons (they are the same for each scene), and make each button skip to it's respective scene.
However, nothing seems to work. Even the "stop();" function ceases to work as soon as I try to enter more code to make the buttons work. So, my question, in essence, is how do I get something like this to work? A generic example code or template would obviously be very useful (instance name and such are not complicated, as I just use "button01_btn" "button02_btn" / "Scene 01" "Scene 02" etc.), I'm using actionscript 3, but admittedly know very little about coding
Basically, i want 5 buttons in one scene to link on to different scenes. The buttons are images. I tried doing it and each button goes on to the next scene which is not what i want.I have converted the images as button symbols and added actionscript on each of them, but it just links on to the next scene instead of going to different scenes.[code]
View 2 RepliesSo I have 3 buttons. One button links to an animation, the second button links to a different animation, and the third one shows the links. The first button works properly, but when I click on the second button, it goes back to the animation that is shown at the first button. How do I fix this? Here is my code for the first button:
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,mou seDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(1, "random");
}
I have made sure that the button's instance name is button2, and that the scene name is "random".
Here is my code for the second button:
button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,mou seDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler2(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(1, "random1");
}
I am trying to navigate from one scene to another with buttons. the first scene is a simple Main Menu that has a button and when clicked it navigates to another scene. The code works and takes me to the scene, but once I am at the new scene I lose focus of the scene until I click on the stage. The second scene uses the keyboard to control the scene and not the mouse. Is there something that I need to add to the new scene so when I get there that I will have focus of the scene instead of clicking of the stage.

I am no flash expert however I need to edit the source of the flash project here:It's the "Wordpress audio player" I need to remove the skip forward and back buttons when there is more than one audio file.Anyone know how to first of all use this folder structure, I thought it would simply be a .fla file that you edit but it seems to be loads of files. And then how do I compile it?
View 1 RepliesI've been trying to convert and AS2 project to AS3. I've been able to load all the static items from the library and been able to get the buttons to load different text. However when I select a previously clicked button it doesn't remove the old text. here's a section of the code.
ActionScript Code:
//Add the FactFind button
var factFind_btn:factFind = new factFind();
addChild(factFind_btn);
[Code].....
I understand that the major difference between AS2 and AS3 is that in AS3 you have to put all your script in a separate layer, and unlike AS2 you can't add them to buttons or movie clips themselves on their respective layers.
I'm doing a project for school where I'm required to make a flash portfolio.
I have Five buttons, and right now, two of those buttons goes to a frame to display a picture. However, I've made the other buttons dynamic, and they call other swf files to show an image gallery, a game and another image viewer.
What I have a problem with is when I click the first dynamic button, and the swf if added to the parent movie clip, it does not leave the stage when another dynamic button is clicked.
So what I have is all the SWFs loaded on top of each other.
writing a code that will remove child for each button when ANY other button is clicked.
here is the code I have:
stop();
btn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
function buttonClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop(3);
[Code].....
in the first frame, first scene. Shouldn't that be where I but the include? (the buttons do work in scene) The buttons that are defined in external.as work in the first scene, but not in the other scenes. When I do an "include" in every scene, I get errors, no buttons work (makes sense....that should throw errors).

Action Script 2.I have a count function that counts how many times the buttons in my scene are clicked.It counts upwards on each mouse click:root. count+=1.I know this is working because a trace(_root.count) shows appropriately.When count == 6, I need to trigger a sound. My code is as follows;[code]The problem is, it's not triggering the sound as expected, even though the _root.count trace is showing 6.
View 2 RepliesI have two scenes on my flash file viz., Scene 1 and Scene 2.
I have created one nested button i.e., button inside the movieClip and one normal button as in the following code.
ActionScript Code:
jan_btn.onPress = function() {
gotoAndStop("Scene 2", 1);
}
[Code]....
The problem is the first button jan_btn works and it goes to Scene 2 when it is clicked. But the second nested one i.e., button inside the scroll_mc movieClip is not working.
I have kept jan to dec buttons inside scroll_mc movieclip (it will scroll) and kept on stage.
Why nested button i.e., button inside movie clip is not going to Scene 2 when it is clicked?
i want to transfer to another scene when the player hits the enemy...but i can't transfer to that scene unless i use a button to link me to there....you know like in rpg games, when you hit the enemy there will be the fight scene....how can i do that...without using any buttons?
View 10 Replies1-What is the ActionScript command to move to another scene (like for example if I want that when Scene A reaches frame 340 is moves on to frame 1 of Scene B automatically without presing buttons, what ActionScript should I put in frame 340 of Scene A)?
2-What actionscript code should I put on a button so that when I click it it starts playing Scene X?
I know this should be relatively easy to find, and I promise I'll search next time, but I just don't have much time now
I'm just starting to learn as 3.0, and was having problem understanding the scenes, timeline (stage, root) and movieclips.
Basically now I have two scenes: S1, S2
S1 has one mc: round_mc ; S2 has one mc: rect_mc
And I have same set of control buttons: play, stop, prevFrame, nextFrame, prevScene, nextScene, gotoAndStop()
The control buttons worked with the round_mc in S1, but didn't control rect_mc when S2 is playing. Why same set of buttons doesn't work in all scenes. Should I have to assign a variable to detect movieclips on the current scene...
Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
prevS_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, preScene);
nextS_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nexScene);
prev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, preframe);

have been trying to create buttons on planes within a 3d scene using the papervision library. I know that materials are interactivy and that you can have object interactivity, but im still trying to figure out how i can use event listners on individual planes to trigger gotoScene method.I am a bit of a newbie so i am probably missing something simple.If you are familiar with the papervision3d tutorials, the project i am implementing is based on the space box idea or the universe with a free camera
