i am working on a flash website with actionscript 3.0. i am using a scroll pane to view a external swf file that has buttons that move forwards and backwards through the swf. my problem is that when the naviagtion buttons are clicked the page changes but is at the bottom of the scrollpane. i want the verticalPostion = 0 so it starts at the top of the next page but don't know how to do this. this is the code for my

I have a Scrollpane with a movie clip inside of it and am trying to link to a frame in a parent movie clip and keep getting an error. I am linking it the same way I do any other links. I was using this code.
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
//-------------Home Button
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, homeClick);
function homeClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
MovieClip(parent).gotoAndStop("home");
}
Is there something special I have to do because its linking to a frame FROM a scrollpane? Never done this one before.
I have a scrollpane where I have loaded a swf of many small images that are set up as buttons.How do I create the link between this swf/actionscript to the main fla/timeline that the scrollpane is contained in?
View 1 RepliesI'm sure I am missing something. I have created a scrollpane instance "Buttons_sp" and set the source in the properties panel to "SantaThumbs_mc" Set the symbol linkage property to Export for Actionscript and used the default assigned class name for the SantaThumbs_mc. On my main timeline I have another clip LargeSantas_mc that I want to access specific frames on when a button in the scrollpane is clicked.
The button listeners are on an actions layer in the SantasThumbs_mc and at this point I have only one button with active code so I know that the code is being seen when I test the movie, which it seems to be.
My button code is:

View 1 RepliesI am developping a player with Articulate Presenter and Flash. I would like to put thumbnails that are in a special folder in swf, into a scrollPane. The scrollPane itself is in a clip loaded when I click on the Thumbnails Tab.
Here is my simplified code :
ActionScript Code:
// I first preload the thumbnailsPanel containing the scrollPane
var thumbnailsPanelClip:MovieClip = completeMenu.attachMovie("thumbnailsPanel","thumbnailsPanel",completeMenu.getNextHighestDepth());
thumbnailsPanelClip._y = 35;
[code]....
Well, my problem is that the ScrollPane is not scrolling until the end of the thumbnails, so I don't know if all the thumbnails are loaded. And even worse, exactly one time on two, the Scroll Bar is not showing at all ... !is it a scrollPane pb ? I use it many times in other parts of my project without any problem ... or is it because there are too many thumbnails ? I have around 30 - 40 to load ..
I have two movies, home.swf and scrollpane.swf On home.swf i have an empty MC that holds scrollpane.swf.On scrollpane.swf I have a UIScrollPane component called scrollPane4 that holds a MC called "symbol 1" on this MC I have buttons that make the scrollpane scroll down ...
on (release) {
_root.scrollPane4.vPosition = 225;
}
This all works fine untill I load scrollpane.swf into home.swf, now the scroll buttons don't work.
I have a MovieClip inside a ScrollPane. Inside this MovieClip i have buttons. What i want to know is: how to click a button inside a Movie Clip, that is inside a scrollpane, and make it load a swf outside the scrollpane?
View 2 RepliesThe accordion i created works by recreating a single movie clip as the frame/holder for each and every 'tab' the accordion has.Now I want to have seperate links for each 'tab'. which means, at the 1st tab for example, if you click anywhere on the content area, it will take u to page #a.If you go to the 2nd tab, click, it will take u to page #b.
the current flash file has holders in it in order to let it load the xml data. such as the tab titles, content etc. they are also reproduced in AS hence there is only one instance of each in the FLA.I have created an area which is TO BE the "clickable" area on each page. But i do not know what else to do from here...
Website.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,website);
function website(e:MouseEvent):void
{[code].........
This is what I have so far.It should go to "mysite.com",however when you click the button,it doesn't do anything.I get no syntax errors,
import fl.containers.ScrollPane;
recentMsg_bt.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK,resentMsgClick);
var sp:ScrollPane = new ScrollPane();[code].......
Everything works just fine, except for the last msg gets only half displayed as if the scrollpane wouldn't scroll to the end.

View 1 RepliesI want my movie to go to a specific location on the basis of whether or not a variable is attached to the swf reference. Kind of trying to control it from the outside...so I've written this in my embed code:

if (reset=1) {
gotoAndStop(3);

View 9 RepliesI googled it and found that in 2006 someone was trying to do the same exact thing I am and suceeded, but didn't give much detail for a beginner like me to figure out. . I am using xml to call different swf files. What i want to do is create a link in my fla file. Or my xml to call a different swf file into the same page. Pretty much like the main menus do, but I want to create a link to it inside of the text. For instance I have an swf file called members. You click on members on the left it directs you to the members swf file switch on the right. Now that swf page is reading from my xml. At the end of everyone's brief profiles i want to put a link that says more info and it directs to a different swf that has a more indepth profile of that person, but loading in the same window as all my other swf pages of course. The person that did it before said he used actionscript to do this.
View 0 RepliesI have solved my remote linking from an external html, to specific swf frame problem. But now, as usual another problem has reared its ugly head. I have a button(s) with a spotlight animation effect in the "over state". It works fine on the "home" page, smooth and clean, but when you link to a frame in the timeline, once in that frame the spotlight effect stills shows up when mouseover, but becomes erratic and very jittery.[URL].. Once there, if you click on about, events, or news, and load any of those pages/frames, you should see the spotlight flicker on mouseover on all buttons

I am trying to make this website, which has separate files for different screen resolutions. I am using a first.swf file to load the right file, depending on the screen resolution, it goes to a different frame for diff resolutions. There I have placed a loadMovie function.The code for the loader follows the loadMovie call. loadingbar is a movieclip on screen, which presently does nothing.[code]This was displaying nothing, so I replaced the _root.loadMovie with mcholder.loadMovie("filename.swf"). This is not working either, the screen flashes for one second and then disappears. I put a stop(); before the code, and the screen remained, but the movie still did not load.I txt1.text shows 100. meaning percentage did reach hundred, but I am guessing that is for first.swf, and not for the file which is being loaded.

I haven't been able to find a non-hack way to use Drag and Drop with the AS3 ScrollPane component.
Here's what I'm doing:
I create a container mc, which I then add a bunch of children to. The children are what I want to drag.
However, dragging is constrained to the boundaries of the ScrollPane. This seems to me like a limitation of the ScrollPane component.
I know it can be worked around with attaching a dupe mc to the cursor pos, then manipulating other mcs on mouse up, but..
I'm making a site right now. First there is an intro and then when one clicks on a button (for choosing your language), a new page should open (.html page made in dreamweaver) in the same window, but I don't know how to do this.

I have basic knowledge of Flash and do not know how to link an external image to my Flash document. While flipping through a Flash resource book, my thought is that it's through Actionscript, possibly using URLLoader/URLRequest classes. But I don't understand how to do it. Also, do I use a transparent button as the placeholder for the image/actionscript?

I'm implementing swfaddress in my project, which starts with a main swf with various menus. When a menu item is clicked, it signals a url change, and the url change loads a corresponding external swf. All works swimmingly here. But... what if I wanted to have another menu from within the loaded external swf, and have that have its own loaded external swfs, url change etc, as well? For example, on my home page, there is a menu item called "news".
Once "news" is clicked, the url changes and loads a "news.swf" into a holder on the main swf. Now, in the "news.swf" there is yet another menu, this one with two buttons: one button says "Article 1" and the other "Article 2" and each would signal a URL change and load "article1.swf" and "article2.swf" respectively when clicked. Is there a way to get the menus on the external swf to communicate with the swfaddress that is happening from within the main swf so that every swf has it's own url address and different events triggered by that change? so the url for article 1 would look something like [URL]
