ActionScript 3.0 :: Add Actionscript To Flash Buttons Movie Clips Loop?
Nov 13, 2009
I'm pretty sure this is probably a really stupid question. I have about four separate movieclips in my main time line. Each movieclip has its own animation and its own stop function. When I preview it it works fine.However when I try and add actionscript to my buttons everything else starts to loop. What am I doing wrong and how can I get around this?
I just tried putting the buttons in a separate movieclip and doing the actionscript in that instead of the main timeline but it still didn't work.

I have five movie clips in my library. I want to load each to the stage with a fade in and fade out. I thought I could just call them into an array, but I can't find how to reference them. I have other clips in the library too so I can't just grab them all.

I have multiple movie clips on stage (all in separate layers, of course) as well as buttons on stage to play each movie clip. There are buttons inside each movie clip. The problem is that the buttons inside the top layered movie clip work, but the others in the movie clips below don't.

How would I go about using a timer to initiate multiple movie clips at once, and then loop them if they are all different lengths so that they restart in sync once more?
For example, say at t=0, 3 movie clips are started. Movie clip 1 is 3 seconds long. Movie clip 2 is 6 seconds long. Movie clip 3 is 10 seconds long. Movie clip 1 would end before movie clip 2 and 3, but I don't want it to restart until the others are both finished.
Furthermore, is it possible to set a countdown so that the the movie clips are initiated not after a duration, but after a specific time? For example, instead of having a timer countdown from 10 seconds and then playing, it instead countdowns until say 12:00 PM and then plays the movie clip.

I'm working on an educational Flash animation. In one scene I have 4 buttons which need to show different movieclips. I have created all 4 movie clips and inserted into one layer in 4 frames, one after another one. I also gave the frames specific names. Then the buttons are all in one frame with a name so I could call it when we're on "rollout" mode. Now, when I go over the first button it shows its movieclip perfectly but the second one show two, overlapping, with the previous frame! I did also deleted the previous movie clip but still get the same error!!!
Here is the code that I use:
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("lobes", "think");
} on (rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay("lobes", "lobes-button");
stop();
}
lobes is the name of the scene, think is the name of the frame which has the movie clip and "lobes-button" is the name of the frame which has all the buttons without any movie clips.

I am using Flash CS4 with ActionScript 3 and I am fairly new at it. I am struggling with two things.
1. How can I start a movie clip while scrolling over a button? I know how to start a movie clip when a button is clicked.
2. How can I use multiple movie clips for seperate buttons?

I am in the middle of creating a website using Flash CS5. I opened up my .Fla file one day to continue my work but I am no unable to access buttons and movie clips. When creating movie clips or buttons I am unable to get inside them, when I hover my mouse over them there is a white hand icon which never used to be there it was always just a normal mouse icon. I double click to enter inside the buttons/movie clips but nothing happens. This happens to existing movie clips and buttons on the page and even when I create new ones. I really don't wanna have to start this website again.

I am trying to make an interactive flash application that works by detecting mouse overs and clicks on various buttons/movie clips and then moves to the appropriate part of the time line. But I am having an issue when I use more than one addEventListener in any one frame. I have attached the code for one such frame below. When I comment out the addEventListner and the other code relating to the followBall function this works fine and directs the user to frame Inlet_Valve_Open_Frame but now only the followBall function is working and when i try to click on the Inlet_Valve_Button movie clip nothing happens.
I have never read all the help files on the adobe flash CS3 as i don't have time and i have built this code up based on examples i have found online. I wanted to include my fla file but it's to big 6Mb. But i have attached the swf so you have an idea what i am doing.
Code: Select allstop();
//1.
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,followBall);

All I am trying to do is display a movieclip (just a small rectangle) and have it repeat along the x-axis, adding one to it's instance name each time. It seems to work according to the trace statements but it only displays the last movieclip.
Here is the code:
var transition:mcTransition = new mcTransition();
for(var i:int = 1; i < 10; i++){ trace(i); addChild(transition); transition.x = i * 10; transition.name = "transition_mc" + i; trace(transition.name); trace(transition.x);}

So basically, this is how I'm adding one movie clip to the stage. var balloon_mc1 = new balloon(); this.addChild(balloon_mc1); How do I do this for 100 of these movie clips, without typing var balloon_mc1 = new balloon(); this.addChild(balloon_mc1);
var balloon_mc2 = new balloon(); this.addChild(balloon_mc2);
var balloon_mc3 = new balloon(); this.addChild(balloon_mc3);

I'm trying to make a portfolio page where each of my thumbnails loads with the 'fading grid' effect. I've made all the thumbnails movie clips with the appropriate script, and they all work fine. I've also set them to be exported for actionscript, each with a number as their name, i.e. "1" "2" and so on.
I was then planning on using the following bit of code to load these movies into my portfolio clip, to save me having to do it at author-time.
[Code]....
But for some reason, instead of loading two movies, each one 10 to the right of the previous movie, it just loads them on top of each other. Is it something to do with the stage not updating?

i just started tackling Flash and Actionscript 3.I know how to have a button react to a click by going to and playing (gotoAndPlay) a certain set of frames within the same scene [code].themselves are in a movie clip, and the "aboutpage" frames are in another movie clip back outside in the main timeline... How do I tell it to target that other Movieclip thats on the main timeline and contains the frames called "aboutpage"?Ive seen somethign like: currentTarget.gotoAndPlay ("aboutpage");But currenttarget i think looks for stuff within the target/Movieclip it lies in.. what is the code to do this:

All i really want to do is be able to affect multiple movieclips at once with event listeners and greensock tweens.
The first snag I hit was that I couldn't create references to movie clips using the old [] Associative array referencing method. Maybe I still can with AS3, but I couldn't get it to work...
So I found another technique using getChildByName that returns a reference to a movie clips and allows me to store that reference in a variable.
However, the movie clip I'm trying to affect with an event listener resides inside of another movie clips, so to build the address (aka, root.mc1.m2.mc3) to the mc I want to get to is proving to be difficult. (I'm very new to AS3...)
I thought the trace(target1_mc.target2_mc.name); at the bottom of the following code would output the name of target2_mc but it doesn't.[code]...

I've been staring at the screen too long and I'm sure the answer is simple but this has been bugging me for a bit now. I've created a grid with over 200 movie clips dynamically using a for loop. I was wondering if there was a way to assign rollovers and such to each new clip using the same loop.
I've been poking around with it a bit but can't seem to get it working and sure don't want to write over 200 rollover functions so any help would be great.

I have connected 2 pages to the index page with movieclips and buttons. I have used this action script on the button "fotoalbum"; [code]This takes me to the page called "bilder".My question is: how do i get from the flashpage "bilder" directly to the other page called " tekst" using the button "om meg"? As it is now i have to use the Home button to go back to the index page...and from there to the other pages.I have attached some test files as im sure my explanation is a bit akward.

I'm creating a timeline of events with about 50 different points to click on. When each event is clicked on, a movie clip needs to appear (or tween onto) the screen. Then, when another event is clicked on, the previous content needs to go away so that the new content can appear.
A prefect example of what I'm talking about can be seen here:

I've created a custom class of "TimePoint" that has a public property of date, so that I can assign a date to each individual instance of my TimePoint class.
In my fla, he timeline itself is a movie clip that needs to scroll back and forth as the mouse is moved. It contains the nested instances of my TimePoint class. I already have the scrolling movement taken care of, and I also have a tooltip date appearing over each point in time. Now I just need to figure out how to manage 50 different movie clips, each with and without graphics, bitmaps, etc.
I'm just wondering if there is any way to do this without having to create 50 different event listeners and 50 different classes just so that I can add/remove children. I'm thinking I need to use an array, but I don't know how I would implement it. I'm also not very familiar with XML.
My progress so far can bee seen here:

For my online gallery, I'm using movie clips as buttons to navigate. I was having the movie clip play when you scrolled over it and off of it. Now i have it so when you click on it, it stops at the mid-way point. What on is to get it to go back to its original state when I click on something else. So basically I'm looking for a way to go back to frame 1 when a different movie clip/button is clicked on. I want it to revert back to what it was in an inactive state when I click on a different part, but I don't know how to do that

I'm working on my own personal website for my graphic design work and I'm using flash for the intro movie, which you can either skip or after an elapsed time, sends you directly to the home page. On that intro movie (which ill call animatedface_mc) i've put two other movie clips with the eyes blinking (left and right). The eyes would be constantly blinking, as this page is open. That one is working. Off to the side are buttons of names of famous celebrities and once clicked it adds movie clips to the main animatedface_mc. For example if i clicked on the monroe_mc, it adds that famous Marilyn Monroe mole (using either mask or opacity, depending on the facial feature) on the animatedface_mc. If I clicked on tyson_mc, it adds his face tattoo. I've used the following code for this:
