ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding Stop() At Frame 1 Make Buttons Not Work?
Jan 19, 2011
I just started using flash and Im hoping someone with more experience can help me out. When I add the stop code to frame one to stop the timeline on my homepage, the buttons Ive set up in my navigation bar do not work. But, if I do not have the stop code in the timeline, the buttons will work correctly. Without the stop code, though, obviously the whole timeline plays through and doesn't stop on the homepage, which is not desirable. So how do I stop the timeline on the homepage and still have my buttons work?

I have a container mc called lightBoxCont that I load a class into
Code:
lbx.initLightBox(12, Number(slideIndex), urls, titleText);
lightBoxCont.addChild(lbx);
when the user clicks on a thumbnail the user can close the lightbox by clicking on a button like this
Code:
this.removeChild(lightBoxCont);
This all works (or seems to). If the user then clicks on another thumbnail the light box appears again, but the buttons don't work. These were added in the class lightbox.
Interestingly if I trace teh number of children that lbx has I find that each time the user presses on a thumbnail it goes up. First time its about 30, next time its about 60, next time its 90 and so on.I think this is causing the problem with the buttons not working.

I have an MC that has a graphic. I have faked buttons for just the over state, so it shows a border around a portion of the graphic. That works fine until I added this to the MC:
this.onPress = function(){ if (this._currentframe != 1) {
rewind = true;
}}
The onPress function does what it should do, but the buttons no longer show their over state when I hover over them.

I have a movie clip with 15 frames. Each frame has buttons on it (mc's)... I was going to put the actions on the main timeline/stage and navigate within the MC from the main timeline. Is that possible? I can get the buttons on the first frame of the MC to work, but I can't seem to figure out how to target/make the buttons on the other frames work? I was thinking I could identify the path of the MC with the frame labels, but that doesn't seem to work. like: _root.RMChanger.(frame label).buttonOnFrame = function
I have to move a text box in and out over the MC backgrounds on the main stage... which is why I was thinking to do it this way? I've been switching back and forth bwtween AS2.0 and 3.0

Buttons after stop code (vidPlayer.stop();) wont work.
I figured out the stop code needed to stop my videos from playing when you click another button, but with my stop code being on top of my "gotandStop ("label")" my buttons doesn't perform that function. I take the vidPlayer.stop(); off the buttons the buttons work fine, but then my videos wont stop playing when I click another button. Help, how I can get my buttons back working and still stop my videos from continuely playing when another button is clicked.
[Code]...
With the code exactly the way it is; when I like on the services button it wont work (unles I start from the about btn, which houses the vidPlayer) I want to beable to go into my website and click any button and it work, not go to the about button first an then to any other button.

My site has a thumbnail gallery that loads larger images that then jump to sections containing flash video. Everything works great when I test my movie and all buttons work. But after clicking on one certain button (my "about" button in the header), all of a sudden the large image buttons stop working and won't jump to the sections. Although they do still display correctly when over, down,ect.

I'm making a main page for my website in Flash 8, and I need to know how to stop the animation on my web page from looping, but not have the stop command affect the ability to use the buttons.
The web page: [URL]
The stop command hits after the flower-links finish blooming, but the same stop command also nullifies the ability to click on the flowers. While some of the stuff is running from movie clips, the animation on the flowers and title are in the main movie, and it would be too complicated and out of the question to make them all into movie clips..

I use eventListeners to jump between frames.One of my frames displays a video. I imported the video as a component using the 'import video' function.It plays fine.When navigating away from the video I use the myVideo.stop(); command in AS3 to stop the video from continuing to play.or some reason, when I do this the buttons on my main page stop working.The code I use on the movie frame is:
cr_back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onCRBackClick);
function onCRBackClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{

I have a SWF with two buttons that both direct users to new URLs. The first frame contains an FLV. During the playing of the FLV, the buttons work fine. When the FLV is complete, the SWF plays, resizing and moving the buttons. During the movement of the buttons I can click them and they work--while moving. But they don't work once the SWF reaches the last frame and stops. I need the buttons to work the whole time, especially at the end. [URL]

The buttons are used to jump to a specific (root-)frame (based on a variable); they're all nested inside a moviclip, each on its own layer, and for every frame there's one button more showing (imagine a staircase). Now, is there a way for a script that works for all buttons without adding the specific frame number every time? I started working with
ActionScript Code: on (release) {_root.gotoAndStop(_root.VAR+3);} where VAR also defines, how many buttons are shown (eg. frame number of the button-MC). +3 is just for the frame number on root. That way, of course, all buttons eventually lead to the same frame, or more precise: only the last button shown will lead to the correct frame.

I have some simple buttons that work fine until I leave the frame the buttons are on a go to another frame. When I return the buttons are dead. This is how aI set up listeners and handlers:
Event listeners for tour screen buttons
detailsMovieClip_mc.tour0.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, tour0_click);
detailsMovieClip_mc.tour0.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, tour0_over);
detailsMovieClip_mc.tour0.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, tour0_out);
function tour0_click(Event:MouseEvent):void {

I have 5 overlapping tab buttons and when each is clicked, it calls to a specific frame. The tabs are assigned to a specific frame so that when the timeline jumps to the assigned frame, the tab clicked appears on top of the other tabs. My code below works, but only once. If I click a tab and then try to click a previous tab, nothing happens.
FYI: My 5 tab names are: rotating_globe, company_tab_mc, newproducts_tab_mc, applications_tab_mc and tradeshows_tab_mc
There's also a 'back_home_btn' that appears on the stage when user is not clicked on the 'rotating_globe' tab (the 'rotating_globe' tab is my default home button)
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
rotating_globe.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rotatingGlobeBtnHandler2);
company_tab_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, companyBtnHandler2);
newproducts_tab_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLI CK, newproductsBtnHandler2);

I have a 3 screen project and there are two buttons on each screen that have to be able to enable the user to jump to the appropriate screens when clicked on. I am totally new to flash and I have tried off and on for a couple weeks to figure this out in various books and online. I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

how to make some scroll buttons. Not like a regular scrollbar button, but just two graphics that have a rollover function. I got the buttons to work except that I can't get it to stop. Here is the code I wrote:
[Code].....
Once I rollover, it keeps going forever unless I rollout, but it doesn't stop at 43 or -167. It only checks the boundaries at the start of a rollover, but I thought it would run the function every 10 milliseconds to see if I had passed the boundary.

I have a flash site that has a presentation page it has a menu of two buttons (1) to take you to a slide show and (2) that takes you to the gallery. These are the only two buttons that seem to work in control test movie, I get no errors. The only button that is connected is the slideshow button (I haven't done the gallery yet). This button takes you to frame two. Where I have the main website. It has its own menu that spans across the entire website which is 25 frames.
Each frame represents a new page. I have mini menus at frames 3, 5, and ten. That are supposed to just advance the user to correct frame labels and stop. The only buttons that work are the ones in the first frames. The rollovers appear to work on all the pages when I advance the movie using the [ . ] key but I get no trace statement which means that it is not being acknowledged, all my buttons are named properly I believe so here is the code as well, all is in frame one:
stop();
//handle events for buttons...
Gallery.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
Home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
Location.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
Guest.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
Lodging.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);

One of my school projects require that we make use of button in a small flash animation but the teacher has only taught us how to create buttons but not add script to them. My question is how can I make the animation stop on frame 1 as soon as it loads up and how can I add code to my play button so I can play from frame 2. Most of the code I found end up being in Actionscript 2 or something or just didn't seem to work at all.

I have the following problem / bug:
I made a custom button-class (called CustomBlitButton) where a button is defined. The roll over-states of the button are defined inside of the class CustomScreen. That's because a custom screen holds one or more buttons. I can create a button when using the createButton-function of the CustomScreen-class.
So if I want to make a screen with a menu, i.e. several buttons I do this like that (this is just an excerpt):

I have buttons inside/on window01/mc that are still active/clickable when the opacity is 0, I basically have a area on my website that if you click it opens the window corresponding to the button. how do I stop this? I only want the buttons to work when window01 is opacity 100.
[URL]
just click in the blank black area below the nav bar and the window will appear. The normal way to get to this window is click products than the buttons.
Code:
import gs.TweenLite;
btn06.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,f2);
function f2(e:Event){
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.jmoneyaudio.com/"), "_self");

I currently got a movieclip. On the timeline of the movieclip i've put a keyframe on frame 100, so that my movieclip is 100 frames long.On the stage I got a 100px wide red square as BG and on top of that a copy of the 100px square just in blue (my shape tween).What im basically trying to do is having the 100px blue square act as a percentagebar. So when I do something like:
ActionScript Code:
percentagebar.gotoAndStop(50);
The shape tweener should tween from frame 1 to frame 50 (with 50 representing 50%).
