View 6 RepliesI've got about 6 buttons laid out, one on top of the other in a list format. In their normal state the buttons are grey in colour, when I rollover them, the buttons flash and turn to orange. Now, what I need to happen is this: I want the buttons to stay orange once clicked and only roll out back to grey when the user has clicked on another button in the list. I've been told that the best way to do this is via adding a listener, however I am a little unsure as to how to go about this. I've checked the flash help file and have a basic understanding of how listeners work...but can't really wrap my head around applying it to this situation. Perhaps I will need to have all the buttons as separate broadcasters?

View 5 RepliesI've got my flash application loading all the images found in an XML file (under <file>image</file> and i want to use the url found in the same node of each image <eventurl>url</eventurl> but I can't seem to target only the image I'm clicking.
If I click an image (and say there's 20 on stage all loaded dynamically) the button will try and take you to ALL the <eventurl>(s) found in the XML document.

<pictures>

When you rollover the images they scale perfectly and it correctly only scales the SPECIFIC image you are rolling over. However when I try and do this for the click and try and make it target the corresponding images URL it tries to take you to ALL the urls.
I 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:

View 1 Replieshow to write a actionscript code for a button when the button is clicked it should move to the nextframe.
// About and smile1 button scripts
stop();
_root.smile1.onPress = function() {
if (mouse_over_smile1) {
[code]....
i have given 3 functions as onEnterFrame,onPress,onRelease. i tried all these but didnt get the result.smile1,smile2,smile3 are button instances which are declared on the monie clip.my main thing is i hav a button, when i click on that button it should go the next frame which i have declared in "gotoAndPlay(6)" method.
Anyway what I need to do is have a movie clip finish playing when a button is clicked and then go to the frame label associated with the button. I hope I'm explaining myself ok. So if I had say 4 buttons Home Gallery About Contact If Contact is clicked then I want the Home page to play (Which is a fade out) and then go to Contact Page (which will fade in). Then If Gallery is clicked then I want Contact to fade out and then go to Gallery page and fade in.

I want to make a button (or graphic) active and visible if another button is clicked. But it must be invisible and unclickable before the other button is clicked. (this is a "find the differences between the 2 pictures game" and I want circles to appear over the differences that the user finds but only after he clicks it)
The button (or graphic) I want to become active has instance name of "sockcircle_btn" The button you click to make it appear is called "sock_btn"
In the first frame of the sockcircle_btn layer, this is my code
sockcircle_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,sockcircledisable);
function sockcircledisable(evt:MouseEvent):void{
sockcircle_btn.mouseEnabled = false;
}
In the sock_btn frame (frame 3) this is my code
sock_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,sockcircleenable);
function sockcircleenable(evt:MouseEvent):void{
sockcircle_btn.mouseEnabled = true;
}
The file is setup to loop between frames 2-3. But the sockcircle_btn never enables even when sock_btn is clicked.
Pretend a button is selected - when that button is selected it goes to the active frame which shows that the button is selected. When you click another button it currently resets itself - BUT - I want it to go to and play frame "mouse_out" and than reset itself. Below is the code I am currently working wtih:

View 8 Repliesim working on a new project, and its finished - but there is one issue.... to travel to the next page, you must click the button 2 times ( even if the clicks are 30 seconds apart )....what would cause this? the method we were asked to do was to base the page transition on the timeline rather than embeded in its own MC like previously. that is easy, and here is my set up ( frame and actions ):

and on frame 132 is the frame label "start" and this code:engage.play(); the buttons are in their own MC on frame 125 and are coded correctly ( here is an example of btn 1 ): function btn1Click(event:MouseEvent):void{ MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay("trans"); MovieClip(root).page=1;} btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1Click); btns 2, 3 and so on are written the same.... now, i get no errors, but you must click each button twice ( and if its in the middle of the transition sometimes 3 times

I'm making a page with multiple soundclips - each one launched by a separate Flash button.
Problem: If someone clicks a button and then clicks another button without first stopping or pausing the original soundclip, the two play at the same time. Press another and three clips play at once.
How do I make it so that when you push the next button it stops the first clip and then plays the second one?

I don't have much experience with buttons and barely any with action script. I am trying to make a button that is a non-animated symbol on up, a glowing version of the symbol on over, and on down the symbol swaps to an animated symbol that moves across the screen.
But, on the down state, the symbol does not animate like it is supposed to. When I hold the mouse button down, the glow goes away, but the symbol just does not animate as specified in the symbol that appears during the down state.
I tried experimenting with making the button move on the main timeline, adding a stop() command in one of the layers of the up-state symbol, and then adding a play() command to one of the layers of the down state symbol, but nothing seems to work.[code]...
