I need something like this (not correct code!)
if (MovieClip(this.root).myimage.x -= 100{
MovieClip(this.root).mybutton.visible = false;
} else {
MovieClip(this.root).mybutton.visible = true;
}
So I'm saying if myimage x position in less than 100 hide mybutton.
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.
View 8 Repliesi wanna do a flash that reads an xml, in which the xml tells my flash to show or hide movie clips (they have instance names).
Code:
//added in the frame
var elights = _root.mc_elights ;
var logo = _root.mc_logo ;
var croom = _root.mc_croom ;
[code]....
i however, want to do this via xml, so that i could have my programmer colleague create a php to call for this database.
I am trying to make, it involves someone pressing a button which generates a random number between 1 and 2, and depending on which number two images are displayed, "heads" and "tails".This is what I have so far on the button

I would like to create a website 'banner' application in flash that uses action script to show or hide different movie clips based on a start and end date.
Originally I would have to manually upload new banners to a website one at a time. But if I had one file that could contain multiple banners I could have them turn on and off based on what day it was. Is there a way to do this with action script?
I am using a magnifying glass animation for my portfolio and I want he mouse cursor to hide, which I can work out with: Mouse.hide()
But when someone clicks on a section it then loads a swf file above the original movie so I then want the mouse cursor to show but i'm not sure what the code would be for this? Also then once they press on the close button of this swf file with: on (release) unloadMovieNum(1); _level0.enableBtns();}
I want the mouse cursor to hide again becuase they are on the main movie again.
I need to show and hide multiple DIV layers by clicking on buttons inside an embedded flash movie. I looked around and the closest I got was this tutorial here:
[URL]
but the problem is I need 10 buttons to each show one layer while hiding the other ones. For example, I click button 1, layer 1 shows, then I click on button 5, layer 1 is hidden and layer 5 shows etc.
How can the above code be split so instead of showing all DIV layers at once, it shows one and hides the rest??
I have a movie clip that displays an embedded html with a bunch of divs that are expected to hide and show other divs when the users click them. i.e. imagine that you have a span with an instruction in javascript to show a div when you click it. I already made the html file, the external css and the external js. The movieclip (in actionscript 3.0) loads and displays the html content and also the css, but i haven't managed to figure out how am i supposed to link or use the javascript to do the trick. I've tried so far doing an exhausting research over the internet for the past few days and the only infromation i've got is that web developers use externalInterface to access javascript functions, but they use flash buttons to execute the js code, and it appears to me that i cannot use or embed flash btns in my site. I don't know, I'm kinda new to flash and this is the first time I work with actionscript 3.[code]or how do I achieve de hide/show thing with another method? I'll be wandering around the site in case you have any extra doubts about this subject.
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to hide XMl content using an if statement? If on frame 15 hide XML content? I'm not sure what the code would be?
View 3 RepliesI am attempting to create one function to respond to multiple button clicks. I have a simple if statement in my onBtnClick function that does not work. Just need the button that is in that variable to go to frame 1. Trace statements are working inside the statement so I the if statement runs correctly?
[Code]...
I am using Flash 8, and for some reason, my if statement won't work. I have a scrollbar which scrolls a movieclip (that contains AS loaded material (eg. attachmovie). I want it so that only when the material is longer than the scrollbar do I see the scroll bar.For some reason, it doesn't work. The traces don't even work!
if (scrollbar._height < menu_mc._height) {
scrollbar._alpha = 100;
trace("works");[code].....
I'm trying to check to see if an object exists by using a simple if statement.
if (object.name) {
//Do this
}
However, if the object doesn't exist, I get this error, "Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties" - which I understand is because the object doesn't exist. Is there a better way to check to see if an object exists?
i cant seem to get a simple if/then statement working with an input text. Here is my AS
[AS]
on (release) {

I'm building a continous move in flash, and I'm displaying some text and images and want to hold the timeline for about 20 seconds and then resume play again. I'm trying to write a simple timer in AS to keep from having to create 10000 frame long movie clips. Here's what I have so far:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame {
time = getTimer();
if (time == 20) {
play();
}}
Unfortunately, this isn't working for me, and 'm unsure why. I suspect two things,
A: my "time" var takes only a snapshot value of the timer and not a continuous value, so the timer never reaches the value of 20. Or,
B: I have somesort of syntax wrong and the if never gets a chance to load.
Several arrays are created by passing a number (k) from a different array,for every item in the array I need to have a little dot.I have a movieclip on the timeline with a maximum of 15 dots.So if the array has only 6 items, the last 9 dots should dissapear.
PHP Code:
function fill_items(k:Number) {
var item = josXML.firstChild.childNodes[2].childNodes[k];
[code].........
But the dots_total[t]._visible = false; part isn't working...Maybe it's the wrong way to achive this, but i can't seem to figure out why it's not working.

View 1 RepliesI have a flash map. There are 6 clickable countries on the map. When one clicks on a country I want html content to appear under the flash movie. As far as I can see the best way to accomplish this is to have all the content already under the flash movie each in a separate div, with display set to hidden. Then action script inside the country buttons calls a javascript function on the html when that button is clicked, to set display:block for corresponding content filled div. I've tried a few scripts but couldn't get it working.
<code>button_kenya.onRelease = function ()
{
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("kenya");
};</code>
Is there anything else i should do when imbedding flash into my page so that the flash can talk to the html and call the javascript?
I'd like to be able to have an array of movieclips where i'm able to toggle their visibility depending on what button has been pressed. I would need to have a default movieclip that is visible and all the others are hidden, but then when I click a button to make one of the other movieclips visible the default one is hidden etc.You can see an example of what i'm trying to achieve at http:[url]........I'm experienced in PHP and HTML but have not used flash for several years so i'm pretty rusty. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
View 5 RepliesFlash in general so this is probably above my skill level. Basically I have 3 movieclips, called random1, random2 and random3 for the sake of this.I want, at the start of the frame to pick one of the three objects at random, keep that object visible, and hide the other 2
View 2 RepliesI 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...

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to show and hide a sub menu. So what I want to do is for the sub menu to show up and stay up if certain buttons are clicked, but disappear if other buttons are clicked. I've got an array of the sub menu. If any of the buttons are clicked from the sub menu array, it should stay.
var subMenu:Boolean=false;
This is my sub menu array:
var arrSub:Array=[m8_mcButton,m9_mcButton,m10_mcButton,m11_mcButton,m12_m cButton,m13_mcButton,m14_mcButton];
When a button is clicked, I want to check to see if the sub menu is showing and to check which button has been clicked. This is the code I came up with, but unfortunately, doesn't work...
function onButtonClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
for (i=0; i<arrSub.length; i++) {
if (subMenu && e.currentTarget!=arrSub[i]) {
arrSub[i].y=-130;
subMenu=false;
