ActionScript 3.0 :: Show / Hide Window On Button Click?
Dec 23, 2011
make an graphic (just a box with text in it) be shown as default, then when the user clicks (either clicks the box or anywhere or a cross - anything!) the window is hidden, then if the user wants to see the box again, they can click a button saying 'show info'.
And I looked on the forums and found ( showthread.php3?t=66284" ) << I can't post links because my post count is too low .
But I tried that (both methods mentioned) and i can't seem to get them to do anything?

I am working on a display that starts with a centered logo and menu. When one of the menu items is clicked I move the logo and menu to the left side and show a datagrid on the right. Is there a way to use an easing function to make this change look better?

I have a movieClip that a user can click on to hide/show a different movieClip (for this example, lets say its a circle). I have an 'onPress' on that movieClip that tells it go and play the next frame inside itself movieclip (there are two frames which just have different graphics to represent off/on) and also the line of code to hide the other movieClip.
The problem is that if a user clicks on the movieClip to hide the circle and then keeps their mouse in the exact same position and tries to click again to show the circle, nothing happens... they have to move the mouse at least a little bit before it will recognize it is being clicked again. The same thing happens with buttons I have that scroll the page... which is extremely annoying since you can't just click the same spot multiple times, you have to move your mouse a bit and then click again.

I need to progress. [URL] The Adobe documentation assumes you are an expert with Flash and there are no clear cut examples of how to even show and hide a darned button, well, I can't find any referrences. I can imagine what I want to do with flash, but getting anything out of it cracks open my brain. Programming is not fair!!! for us graphic artists. Examples of things I want to study are loading images to the stage on a specific event such as "if(enterFrame == x)" ideally I would like the images to load from a directory on the server and ease in the image.
Basically I want to keep it simple yet effective. Alot of the code I see out there is double dutch to me and appears to go in the wrong direction of simplifying things. I can understand the basic fundamentals, but I wish when people post examples like myMC1.visible = true; that they explain that myMC1 is just a name chosen by the writer to look for an item called myMC1 or go the extra step and color code the code BLUE for actual code, RED for names of items given by the writer that exist on the stage etc etc...

I want to show/hide a symbol (movie clip) when i mouse over/out another symbol (button) and also want to move the movie clip as motion of mouse by attaching to the mouse... for this.. i think i have to use startDrag action but i am confused how.
if i use action on button like:
on (rollOver) {
startDrag("abc");
}
on (rollOut) {
stop();
}
where "abc" is instance name of movie clip it will do the work but it doesnt give effect of appearing and dissapearing the movie clip when i mouse over the button.

I've been looking on google, but I have found nothing at all on this, which is surprising as it is very simple to make (I have done it in AS2).I was to have a button that can hide a movieclip. Then another button which will show it again.

I have been tasked with adding button functionality for a fence companies flash application. Specifically, the buttons will be in a drop down horizontal menu. They will have to display (and hide) certain accessories that will be placed on the fence or are a part of the fence itself. For an example of something similar, please check out the design studio at this site -[URL]. It is the application about halfway down the page and after hitting the APP MENU button, it is the top most option.note that as the fence moves (by scrollers) the accessories always stay with the fence. So, I am guessing that the whole thing is a movieclip and that the buttons are referencing?, showing?, hiding? certain aspects of the movieclip.

I have an animation that shows items highlighted in a diagram. As the items are highlighted, the audio will play (to explain the animation). because we are creating this for people with possible disabilities, we also created captions with text for the audio. So, in separate layers, we created speech bubbles and text that is synchronized to the animated actions on the screen. this will also be synchronized with the audio. We want to have a button (close captioning button) that when users press it, they see the text captions and if they press it again, they don't see the text captions. my questions are
1) what will be the easiest way to create the effect i am looking for?
2) what actionscript command will i need for the button's actions?

Basically, I have a button and on click it displays a menu. I want to click that menu a second time and the menu closes. Currently, every time you click the button, the menu reopens. I pasted the Flex livedoc example below. If you click the button, the menu keeps reopening.Now, I rigged it up by setting a var to open and closed, so when clicking the button it does a check. However, if you click away from the screen, the HIDE event gets dispatched, and the menu closes. This messed up the open close var being set.
How could I make this Flex example below show the menu on button click, and then on a second button click, it closes the menu? Take into affect that if you click away from the menu, it closes it.Also, I played around with the MOUSE_DOWN_OUTSIDE event for the button and set the preventDefault, and the FlexMouseEvent event.cancelable is set to false.Changing to a PopUpMenuButton is not an option. I have to much skinning involved.Here is the Flex example:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
// Import the Menu control.
import mx.controls.Menu;

In my scene, I have five buttons and each one will start a movie clip within the scene.o, I have only one frame for the entire scene( but four layers: button,background(with music), action and my last one is animation.Each time a click a button( with onPress or onRelease actionscript 2.0.), a movie clip starts(that's ok..)But, when I click an another button, I want the previous movieclip to stop and disappear. In my case, the new movieclip starts but over the last one who is still there.Furthermore, when I want to click on a button that had already been pressed, I want him to start over his movieclip. For now, I need to press it once again to cancel his movieclip and then press it again to start his clip.In resumé, all I want is that each time I press a button, the last movie clip disappear because the new one starts and an already been pushed button, when pushed again, starts his movie clip without the need of pushing it to cancel his first operation and then pushed it again.

Basic problem here. I'm adding a bunch of movieclips using the addChild method. I simply want to remove/hide/fade them after a button click, but I am unsure of how to refer to the movieclips which I've just added.
Here is the code as it stands:
Code: Select allimport gs.TweenLite;
import gs.easing.*;
var strip:Bgstrip;
var contentBg:ContentBg = new ContentBg();
contentBg.x = 440;
contentBg.y = 166;
addChild(contentBg);

I'm designing an interface for a class, and the buttons that I am using all have multiple functions.For example, when the story button is clicked, I need the mc to stop playing and change to text (in the same window/screen, just no mc playing). The mc is 31 frames long, but if there's a way to just make it loop continuously until told not to, Currently, my code looks like this:
stop();
story_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,story);
function story(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop(32);}credits_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,credits);[code]...
When I click the button, the mc does not stop playing and the text does not show up.

I am building a navigation menu with buttons that call and show a movieclip just below the button. I have no more compiler or output errors. Despite this, I still dont have a working navigation menu.The movieclips are only found in the library and are being called by buttons on the timeline. I currently have all the actionscript on frame 1 on a separate layer of the main timeline. None of the buttons or movieclips have code associated with them individually.The code I have created is as follows (I omited some bc the functions get repetitious).
Code:
stop()
va html_con_mc = new MovieClip

I am trying find the correct as3 code to make a button on Click, open a pdf in a new window. I have tried different ways, but when I add the code not only does it give me errors, but it makes my swf flip through all the pages instead of stopping on load. It is fine before I enter the code for this button. Just to let you know, this button is within a movie clip on the main stage. I really wanted it in a MC within another MC, but can't figure out where to put the code.
Should it go on the main timeline, where all the rest of the code is, or should it go within the MC?
