I am using action script 3 and need to know how to apply more than 1 action to a frame label, ie; I have 5 pages of images and have actions coded as follows:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,play1);
function play1(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop("1Lrg");
[code].....
how can I apply an action to a button. I am using the Flash CS3 and I know that I can only apply actions to instances but I still can't make it work. It's a very simple file, I have 2 frames and I want a button on the first frame (with the instance name "hdg") that on release goes to frame 2 and stop.
I can't make it work:
my_btn.onRelease = function () {
trace ("onRelease called");
};
I also want the movie to stop on the first frame, so that it does go straight to frame 2 but with the action of the instance there's an error.
I want to apply an action to my button so that it plays a mc on frame 2 of the mc, but in the actions palette in the window to add an action it says: Current selection cannot have actions applied to it. This thing is definitely a button but I will say that I have a mc and text box in each of the 4 frames of the button. But why should that cause an issue? With the button on the stage, I can view the up/over/down states by going: control --> enable simple buttons, so it is acting as a button.

_root.navigationMC.onPress = function() {
startPreload("blue.swf");
}
If I wanted to change an action from a button click to a frame-based action, what do I use instead of onPress? The hints from the AS editor are all click-based.
I'm new to actions script. I creating a presentation in which I'm loading external FLV movie files.

View 4 RepliesI have a show I'm trying to create, I need to put the navigation buttons on different places on each frame due to content.

I can get the symbols that I'm using as buttons to work in the first and second frame, but they will not work after that. Each frame has a
Code:
stop ();
Action applied to it.
I have tried: copy and pasting the same symbol into multiple frames, dragging new symbols into multiple frames, creating folders for each frame and dragging new symbols into those folders then onto a frame, and I'm still not having luck. This presentation is set up to run in Flash 9 with Bottom up loading order and ASP2
I've got various mc's sitting inside my overall site. The FPS of the overall site is 20 but I want to run another mc inside it at 10 and different one at 28.Is this an actionscript task or is there another way of doing it?
View 3 RepliesI'm using this tutorial to create buttons with displacement mapping for my simple game menu. These buttons need to be clickable; i.e. once you click on them you move to a different frame. Everything works fine on the first frame, but when I click to the next frame the displacement map disappears and will not apply to the buttons on that frame. Plus, when I click my "back" button to return to Frame 1, the displacement effect has disappeared entirely.
This is the code which is in the base "Game" class, which links to the main Flash file.
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[Code]....
It calls the JitteryButton class, another external class, which I don't think is the problem, but I can post if if necessary. It's very similar to the one in the tutorial. Also, I need to add different buttons on other frames of the menu, but if I call them in this external class, it doesn't recognise them.
can anyone spot why this might stop working like it does? I was thinking about instead of using "Game" as an external Actionscript file, I could actually write it into Flash as Actionscript on a layer - would this work?
I have three buttons, btn_1,btn_2,btn_3, and two movie clips, image_1,image_2. The names listed btn_1,btn_2,btn_3, image_1,image_2. are all instance names. All buttons and movie clips are on their own layer in a single frame on the main time line. the movie clips have a stop action on the first and last frame, with a frame label, on the first frame in the sub time line. For image_1 the frame label is image_1_1 and for image_2 the frame label is image_2_1.
I would like btn_1 and btn_2 to control the movie clips, image_1,image_2. Either button should be able to close the other buttons movie clip and play it's own movie clip. Also i am trying to make the movie clips themselves have the ability to be closed by clicking on the movie clip image area that is playing. Both movie clips when not playing hide behind the appropriate button with an alfa of 0.
When playing they expand to the middle of the window and are at 100% alfa, using a tween. The third button, btn_3 should only be visible when one or the other movie clisp are playing. btn_3 dose nothing else but this for now. As of now, my movies continuously loop and btn_3 is always visible. I can't seem to figure this out. my code for this action is:

i have a function which when the space bar is pressed it goes to a different frame. However the function can still be performed on different frames, how can i make the code only apply to that frame?

gotoAndStop("start");

code continues like this for all the buttons (84 thumbnail images), so they will open a larger image when clicked. So what I now need to do is connect the side navigation buttons to go to the relevant page (frame) when clicked...the problem I'm having is that it is causing duplications in the code ie; I now have, for instance thumbnail (btn4) calling frame 4, but I also need a side navigation button to call this frame.
Is there some way that I can have a special function for one/selected frame(s) only? Like when you click on a button, the function will only execute if you're in frame 7 (please note that this is only an example, I want to use it in an other way, using the motion-sensor on my phone)... The script/action must be entered in the frame-actions dialogue, and not on a movieclip or something.

View 1 RepliesI have some action on a timeline, on frame 10 (a keyframe). So currently I'm on frame 1, and when I gotoAndPlay frame 10 , the code gets executed.
BUT, when I'm on frame 1, and I gotoandPlay frame 11 , the code does NOT get executed!! It was a shock actually, cuz I never thought flash would behave this way. Or is this something new with Flash/AS3?
If Im jumping to any frame after 10, how can I let that code be executed? Note that im just giving a numbered example, but in reality, I dont know which keyframe has some code.
I would like to use some sort of timed event to choreograph a movie as opposed to extending out the time line "x" number of frames.
In my movie - I would like some sort of pause action which pauses the movie for 5 seconds before proceeding to the next frame of that movie.
It's not a visible timer - just a way of controlling the time line with a frame action.
It is my first time using AS3.The way that is set up us I have a "Main MOvie Clip" and inside the main movie clip I have another movie clip which is the MainMenu.Inside the MainMenu are buttons. The frame label I wanted to go to in outside of the MainMenu but Inside of the MainMovieClip.I am doing a small project that involves gotoAndPlay("frame label")In the action layer at the end of the timeline of the MainMenu Moviclip Here is my code;[code]

var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader.addListener(this);
function onLoadInit(mc:MovieClip) {
mc.close_btn.onRelease = function() {

I would like to have an action script that permits me to click on a thumbnail and to load the genova.swf to a specific frame, that way if the user need to see immediately photo #3 without having to cycle through photo #1 and #2
he would click on the thumbnail photo #3 in the main website and the genova.swf will popup at image 3 from the slideshow.

In one part of the game Ive got some "enemies" constantly dropping from the sky, and a big cloud.mc next to the enemies that move when you press a button to block off the "enemies" from hitting the character.
I was thinking it could be possible for the enemies to have a loop from frame 1 to 10 (as long as it takes to drop from the sky) that repeats itself allthrough the game until... somebody hits the button with coding telling the enemy mc to go to frame 11 where a stop(); demand has been put in.I'm having inserting a stop action on frame eleven is that the enemies are only dropping once..
