ActionScript 3.0 :: Rollover Button Won't Play Nested Timeline
Aug 12, 2010
I'm creating a website by splitting up the main timeline into the different pages of the site. I'm trying to make a dropdown menu on the 3rd frame. On a layer called buttons I have a button with the instance name patientnumberbtn. I want that when you roll over this button is tells the menu to drop. The movie clip for the menu is nested on its own layer of the main timeline. I would like to play this nested timeline, (the drop down menu has masks and other animations that are moving around). This movieclip that everything is nested in has an instance name of patientnumbermenu. Here is what I am using for code.
patientnumberbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE _OVER,patientnumber_over);
function patientnumber_over(event:MouseEvent):void
{
patientnumbermenu.play();
}
When I run it there is an output error #1009 but it still lets me proceed. When I roll over patientnumberbtn, nothing happens. Within the patientnumbermenu I have stop commands to prevent it from playing when we first reach frame 3 of the main timeline. I've removed these commands and the patientnumbermenu will play even though the commands used to get to frame 3 is a gotoAndStop(); command.

I have made an entire website in AS2. Now suddenly the Client has decided that he wants to highlight multiple buttons, when the viewer rolls over any one of the buttons in a group. The buttons are all nested within a movieclip, which is within a separate .swf. This swf is loaded into a movieclip in the main file. I entered some code to under on(rollOver){} of the button but it never fired.
After some research I found that perhaps converting buttons into movie clips would solve it. There around 40 buttons in total, and 8 such files ...I decided to try with one first, and then also, the on(rollOver) did not work. I then found out that nested movieclips do not always call on(rollOver) and the only solution might be to convert to AS3. Now this is obviously a nearly impossible thing for me to do at this stage, as
1. I am not that experienced with AS3 and the website is quite extensive
2. I need to send out this website asap...

I have created a world map that has each region of the world as a rollover. When you rollover the US, for example, it turns red and a movieclip pops out to display some info...it's basically a graphic I created in Illustrator that is a rectangle with info written on it.
The rollover works fine and everything pops out, but when you move the cursor close to the popout, it thinks you have rolled off the US. When you hit the edge it pops in and out almost like it is blinking.
How can I make it so that they are one hit area? Here is some of the code:
na_mc.buttonMode=true;
setChildIndex(na_mc,0);
na_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onButtonOver);na_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onButtonOut);

i have some script that i am using to play an mc timeline on rollover and rewind the mc on rollout, but my problem is that i want to add an onRelease action that takes the mc to an specific frame within the mc. thing is that the onRollout action cancels out the onRelease action and rewinds the mc regardless. this is the script that i have on the first frame of the mc

I have a button inside a movieclip. When the button is clicked I want it to make a movieclip in the main timeline go to a specific frame. what's the code I need to use to define that movieclip located on the main timeline? Right now I have my code written inside the movieclip where the button is located because I have multiple buttons on multiple frames, and I don't know the syntax to define a button in a specific frame inside a movieclip.
Here's my current coding...
Code:
Select allfunction bwbtn2(btn:SimpleButton,frame:Number) {
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function() {photobw_img.gotoAndStop(frame);});
}
bwbtn2(bw19_btn,19);

so i have a main timeline and a nested one. the main timeline has a button named "how_btn" that plays the nested mc (named "how"). once i get into playing "how", i have a button named "menu" that i want to bring the user back to the main timeline (where the "how" button is). this is how i scripted:
how_btn.onRelease = function () {
gotoAndStop("how");
}
menu_btn.onRelease = function () {
gotoAndStop("nav");
}
the how button script works, however the menu button does not. is this b/c it's in a nested mc? i tried specifying the root, but that didn't do it either.

I am making a website based in flash actionscript 3.0 i have a button nested in its own movie clip, because I have the button expanding to be able to read it i have figured out the only way to do this is by creating it as a movie clipa nd inside the movie clip creating it as a button. I added an event listener to the blog button by saying[code]...
i have named the symbol blog and have name the frame of where the blog page is going to be "blogframe" this line of code at the bottom is where i run into trouble the output window in Flash is saying "The blog button was clicked" just like i want it to. no errors are accouring why than is the playhead not going to frame "blogframe"? if the button is working when i click it the code is right i belive the problem here is it does not want the playhead to go to the frame i want it to. So i gues my question is, how can i make a button withing a movie clip interact with the main timeline?

I am trying to play a nested movieclip by clicking on a button. I have an instance name for the nested moviclip, and this is the code I atatched to the button:
on (release) {
_root.conference.gotoAndStop(35);
}
Nothing happens when I click the button with that code. However, if I take out the instance name, the button will play the frame specified:
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop(220);
}

The website is going to have two pictures of two guys that I made into a "button". Now, when you hover mouse on picture/button 1, it plays a small clip inline. Basically the clip is going to be text balloons as if guy 1 was talking. And do basically the same thing with guy 2 but with different text balloons.

I'm trying to get a flash menu up for my website but I can't seem to figure out if.else statements to work for me.
Here's the problem. I want the menu to play a video when you rollover a button. After you click the button I want that video to keep playing. If you just roll off of the button without clicking I want it to play a different video.

I have a main.fla which has 3 movieclips inside it. All 3 mc's have timelines that run 40 frames. The main.fla timeline has each mc instance on a frame. mc_1 is on frame 1 mc_2 is on frame 40 mc_3 is on frame 81 as the main timeline plays the clips each one fades to the other. I need to know how to target this scenerio after mc_3 plays I need to have a goToAndplay (20) set up so the animation inside mc_1 starts playing (frame 20) of mc_1.

I am using Flash CS3 and ActionScript 2.0. I have a flash timeline that shows 4 tabs and cycles through them. There is also a play/pause button. My issue is that when you click one of the tabs, you start the timeline up again, but the play/pause button doesn't reset. I have the full Flash file, as well, if needed. [URL]

I have been trying to create a play/pause button for the main timeline in my flash movie. Created a movie clip with 1st frame - a pause graphic, then on 2nd frame - play graphic, labelled the frames 'pause' and 'play' consecutively and put a stop action on the first frame of the movieclip. Then put the following code in the actions layer of the main timeline (and gave instance name of 'ppBtn' to the movieclip):
var pp:Boolean = true;
function ppState(event:MouseEvent) {
if(pp) {
stop();
event.target.gotoAndStop('pause');
[Code] ....
It works in stopping and starting the movie but the actual movieclip doesn't toggle between the pause and the play graphics (just stays on the 'pause' state - 1st frame).

Right I only want to play a certain part of my MovieClips Timeline depending on the button pressed.
ActionScript Code:
stop();
CircleLineMC.KingsCross.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, KingsCrossBtn);
function KingsCrossBtn(event:MouseEvent):void {
BigSquare_MC.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
But I want it to play only up to frame 50 and then stop there and then loop instead of playing the whole timeline, does anyone know How to do that.

I want to rollover a button and have it trigger the rollover state of another button. The buttons overlap. The one on top is transparent and smaller than the bottom button. So far I think I have the AS3 to handle the rollover of the top button, but I don't know how to trigger the other button's rollover state.

I understand that nested rollovers do not work, but let me say first that there is no nested rollover. Although my rollovers are in a nested movie clip, the main movie clip does not have rollovers, so from my understanding of the nested rollover problem, it does not apply to this situation. But, it's not working.

I have two movie clips physically overlapping, one nested inside the other:
green
green.blue
An onRollOver function is included in each movie clip. I can get the onRollOver function to execute for the parent clip (green), but cannot get the function within the nested clip (blue) to work. Attached is an .fla document with an example of my problem.
