I am creating a tab menu interface with 3 buttons. I have got them working to where on the clicked state the button goes the rollover frame in the animation and freezes until the user clicks on another button tab. What I can't figure out is how to get the first button to load in the "rollover" state so it looks like the first tab is selected already. Attached is the fla file. In the main movie as I tried setting btn1 to the stop on frame 25 with:
btn1.gotoAndStop (25);
This works initially but when you click on the other buttons the btn1 stays in the selected state.
Im currently programming a game and having the character animation respond to the spacebar to play a jump animation.
To cut the code down here is the bit that's the problem:
ActionScript Code:
var space:Boolean = false;
if (evt.keyCode == Keyboard.SPACE && space == false)
[Code]....
The script works great, apart from when the animation is over, the variable 'space' is set to true, but I need it to go back to false after the function has been applied.
I've set-up a menu using the actionscript below tracking bt up / down states (credit - thanx Barn:[URL]..
But I'd like to adapt the script to have the home button (mvcBtn0) initially set by default to the down state - and then revert to the up state as soon as another button is pressed.
I've tried various adaptions sending the clip to down state on load and then the up state once another button is clicked - but none are working.

Is there a way in AS2 to control the Accordion component so that the initial state is all children are closed?

View 4 RepliesI have multiple frames with stop-points and labels on my timeline and an action where if the user holds down the button for >1 sec it will go to one frame, if <1 sec it will "gotoAndPlay" a warning animation. after that animation plays i want them to be sent back to the initial frame that they were previously in.
View 3 Repliesi am doing a photo album type site where all photos (which are movie clips) appear small and when clicked they enlarge. when the enlarged photos are clicked the movie clip continues and they go small again.
as you'll see from the code below i am doing this by basically saying if the photo is small, play the movie clip from frame 2 which enlarges it until a stop value at 30, and then change the variable value. if the photo is large and then it is clicked play the movie clip from 31 to a stop action at the end and then change the variable value.
everything is working fine except i am not receiving the initial value of the variable "picbtn_position" which is set on the main timeline to value "mainscreen". can anyone help me as to what is going wrong here? maybe i have to do something else to get a variable value from the main timeline to the mc.
here is the code on my movie clip:
on (release) {
if (picbtn_position == "mainscreen") {
trace(picbtn_position);
gotoAndPlay(2);
[Code]....
and here is the code on my main timeline for the initial variable value:
var picbtn_position:String = "mainscreen";
well i want to make buttons that on rollover move to left, on rollout move back to their initial position, and if clicked, they but stay this time at the final rollover place, and be there until something else is clicked. When something else is clicked, the previous button , returns to its initial place. So i ve got it all figured out except for the freeze and move part when the buttons are clicked. All it does now , is when they are clicked they freeze at the position i want, but i havent got a clue how to update them, after so they start moving back, and reacting on rollover and rollout, when the next button is clicked.

I've created a dynamic text field (named text_txt) on stage - gave it a value of "123";There is 1 keyframe (frame 1) followed by 9 frames.I've added a tiny piece of actionScript:
text_txt.text = "99";
Running it - all works great - I see 99 in that text field.If I add another keyframe (lets say on frame 5) - the text inside text_txt changes back to 123...Instance name there is still text_txt...
I've made a nav bar using buttons, and have them working just fine for Up, Over, Down, and Hit. (okay, so hit isn't a state, but I'll count it is as the fourth one)Problem is, once clicked on and produces a change in the flash, I want the button to not return to the Up state, but to visually be different so you can tell you are in that section.First problem is I can't for the life of me think of what that state is called. (Makes it hard to search for, and my poor little brain is fried right now.)Second problem is, can I force a button to not go back to up state? (either the over or down state would work fine).Or do I have to detect the click and then make a call to swap out the button file for the relevant section?
View 1 RepliesI have 20 buttons (mc's). I want to be able to select one and have it stay in the down state until another is pressed. Frame 1 is "up" frame 2 is "down". I have an array of the buttons(mc's). This piece of code works but doesn't return the button to the up state when another is selected.
function changeButtonState(a){
var i = 0;
for (i=0;i<=19;i++){
if(a=="S"){_level0.sb[b].gotoAndStop(2);isw = 1;}
}}
The array of buttons is called "sb".
I have a Component that has a specific background image. The code looks like:
<mx:backgroundImage>@Embed(source='img1.png')</mx:backgroundImage>
<mx:states>
<mx:State name='state2'>
<mx:SetStyle name="backgroundImage">
[Code]....
But when I change the state to 'state2', it doesn't actually change anything.
I'm learning how to use flash CS5.5 and i'm unable to continue a lesson because my button editing seems to not work properly. -When i double click or right click and click edit on my button I go into the symbol edit screen, where i can see the basic button states "Up, Over, Down, & Hit" but when I try to change the appearence of the button in each state the color and any sort of editing done to it does not happen, it is red in the "up" keyframe and when i try to change it to gray in the "over" keyframe it stays red.
-I found that double clicking the button in the edit screen goes into another edit screen labled "symbol 1" and in there i can change the color of the button, but any edits in that screen remain ineffectuall to the actuall button on the main screen. I don't know what is wrong with it, or if I am missing something, i've tried in both action script 2 and 3 and both have the same results.
I'm trying to stop a toggle button from changing state when clicked, based on some conditions, but I'm not sure how to do it.
I don't want to disable the button, because flex 3 styles don't allow me to get the visual effect I need.
EDIT:
I've tried this but it does not work:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute"
creationComplete="_init()"

I'm using something like this in my MXML file: <s:label id='mxml_label' text.state1='test' text.state2='test 2' /> Now i would like to change the state1 text from as3 on runtime.
View 1 RepliesI have a Flex TileList with an itemRenderer made by me. The list loads the content perfectly and renders it. Renderer is a simple canvas element with a checkbox and another canvas with some labels with data. I implemented a method that, on TileList
itemClick="clickedItemHandler(event)",
Changes the state of the checkbox (if checked -> uncheck, and vice versa).
The method works if I click on any place of the item, EXCEPT the checkbox. When I click the checkbox, it doesn't change state. Maybe I was changing the state of the checkbox, and the event changing it back, but I debugged it and it doesn't look like so..
I am using this collapsible panel - link. Unfortunately, I have a problem using it with application states. I have a state where this panel is visible, when I switch to this state, this panel shows, when I click on it, it opens and its content shows. If I switch to another state (this panel is removed from display), and then switch back to the previous state, the collapsible panel stays open, but its content disappears. In other words, the collapsible panel's content doesn't persist through states. Anyone know what the problem is? Or is there another collapsible panel that can work around this issue?

AS3 page with text links that change to a new color on mouse_over and change back on mouse_out. Sometimes the links do not change back and all remain colored after mouse-out. I have never been able to simulate the problem on my several computers at several locations but have seen it happen on the clients computers. Is there a known issue perhaps with Flash/AS3/Flash Player Version# that might cause this?
View 1 RepliesI've got a couple of MovieClips on my stage that use the onRelease event to run a function, this automatically makes the mouse cursor change to a hand symbol when over the MovieClip. That's all good, but I sometimes want to 'disable' my mouse, and when it's in this state I want to change the cursor back to a pointer. This should be handled in my controller, so having a statement around my onRelease function isn't ideal.
View 1 RepliesThe title pretty much sums up what I am trying to do: I haven't started digging into using script in Flash yet, still being very much a beginner.
I created a simple file using movie clips nested in buttons so that when I mouseover a letter, it bobs up and down, but I can't work out how to make it return to its original "up" state *smoothly* when the mouse is moved away. If it must involve script please be aware I am a total noob!

For some reason when I call the select function the variable flips from false, to true and then back to false again which causes the animation im trying to play to hitch and stop 1/2 way through.
I have used the exact same script on other objects in the file but with different instance names and they ALL work fine, this is the only one I can't get working. I have tried removing all other scripts to isolate this one but it makes no difference.
I've hit a very strange issue in adobe flex and I'm not sure how to solve it. I have a popup box that is called on creationComplete before startup of my main application. The popup simply asks for an email address and then the application is enabled showing the email address in a label component.
However, when I try to access the email address from the label component called UserID.text in the application, it is always null even though it is visually present in the label box...It seems like it loses state somehow...so HOW in earth can I keep it from losing state? I need to access the label or some variable throughout the use of the application and everything I try always ends up in a null variable?The main part of the application that sets the label is here:
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" xmlns:controls="com.iwobanas.controls.*" xmlns:local="*" creationComplete="showWindow(true)">
private function showWindow(modal:Boolean):void

View 1 RepliesSo I've set myself a little project to build a bowman game. Everythings working smashing until the math at the point where the computer needs to figure out the power and angle to shoot the arrow back at you. What I've been working off is my knowledge from applied-math classes in school. I've been using the following formula where g is gravity, t is time (this would be in frames for flash), sx is the distance between the players, u is the initial force of the arrow and a is the angle we need to find. With a bit of moving around to seperate the angle, this becomes For my AS3 this translates to:
[Code]...
What happens is that it always fires the projectile at a very low angle that doesnt change to match the correct circumstances and I can't figure out how to get around this. Changing the force doesnt make any difference and the program will need to get around changing distances between the player so this math is pretty necessary (I think). Any math heads out there know what I should change?
