I'm having a little trouble but I think the solution is simple. I have a button in a movie trying to start another movie rooted in scene1. I have some code placed in movie 1 to try and play movie 2, both movies are in a scene1 layer.

I'm working on a project with AS3. On timeline I have a movie clip which contains a timer (only one frame). The timer for testing purposes has been set to six seconds. In timeline are two labels (page1 and page2). Timer is on page1. PROBLEM: I would like timer move to page 2 on scene1 when time is zero (0). how to do that. Here is my script:

I want to use a button symbol that has dynamic text in it that can be edited in actionscript. At first I placed the dynamic text field over the button and made the group into another button, but the text was not getting loaded from the actionscript. I researched and found a suggestion to group them as a movie clip instead of a button as the button won't find the contained text field.
I've changed the button+text to a movie clip symbol and now the text loads fine; however, I have the button set so that on "Down", x and y increase by 2 and the shadow decreases by 2 to give it a "pressed down" effect. However I can't figure out how to get my text to move along with it, other than by creating a function for press down and release for each button, which is really laborious.
This is what I have been doing for each instance of the movie clip to get the text to move with the button:
function moveText() {
getReady_mc.step_txt._x = getReady_mc.step_txt._x+2;
getReady_mc.step_txt._y = getReady_mc.step_txt._y+2;

On the main timeline I have a movie clip called clock_mc and playBtn playBtn is placed in the center of clock_mc When you press playBtn clock_mc starts playing
playBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playClock);
function playClock(event:MouseEvent):void
{
if (event.target == playBtn)
[Code].....
I've tryed to placed the replayBtn on the stage on the main timeline and I've set it up to replayBtn.visible = false; And then I add replayBtn.visible = true; to last AS frame of clock_mc but it wont work Even when I put the button physically to the last frame of clock_mc it will not work either.
I am attempting to have the main timeline move from a stopped position over a movie clip to frame 1, where my start menu is.The code I'm using does move the timeline but in doing so it somehow breaks the 4 buttons I have in frame 1.
My code in the movie clip:
stop()
function replayMovie(event:MouseEvent):void
[code].....
how do we refer the submenubutton which hasbeen masked inside a movie clip.
In my code ,
mainBtn3 is present inside "mm " movie clip . and on click of it I am able to move to another frame using below code . But, if there is a sub menu for the button , and if I am referring it as below [mm.btn3sub1] and trying to move to another frame . I am getting following error
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at sumiyatried12356_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

View 4 RepliesI've created a movieclip button where on release the button moves and grows into the background of my content. The problem is that if the mouse does not hover over the button while it is moving, the movieclip does not play all the way through.
I have come up with two solutions to the problem but i need help developing the coding for them.
The first option being to freeze the the cursor in its position until the clip is fished playing through.
The second option is to come up with a coding that allows the clip to play through independent of the movement of the cursor.[code]...
I am having a movie clip playing on a loop on the ON frame of a button , and something else on the OVER frame, and everytime i move my mouse to the button it resets the movie clips thats playing. heres my file:

It's been a long time since I've done any work with actionscript, and alas I've forgotten nearly everything. I've tried to look for a tutorial that would explain basic animation with actionscript, but the one that I found on Kirupa was no longer there.
Basically I'd like to do this:On the stage I have a movieclip and I'd like the movieclip to move along the x-axis to a certain point and then back to the starting point again. The moving speed of the movieclip should also be adjustable.
I need to find a way to make a movie clip or button click and direct to a movie clip that pops up a window with data and has an x box to exit that movie clip. I also need that box WITH the x to be draggable together.

i have a button inside a movie clip.I want the button, when i click it, to go to a web page in a new window.I have put my script on the top layer of the main timeline, in a layer called 'controls'
Here is the script:
Code:
function openPhotomore(yourEvent:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://anarkiuk.deviantart.com/gallery/#Photograph"),"_blank");
};
photomore_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, openPhotomore);
I have given the button an instance name of 'photomore_btn', but it seems to be inside a tween aswell?When running the swf i get the error:
1120: Access of undefined property photomore_btn. How come it cant find the photomore_btn?
Can anyone explain what are advantages/disadvantages to put the button inside the movie clip vs. to put a button instance directly on the main timeline? My final goal is to have plenty of animation going on inside the button stages.

View 1 RepliesHow do I move / create a button that functions inside a movie clip?I have been creating a quasi-simple website following the tutorial provided by Lynda.com. Using I have created a functional site in which the buttons work so long as they are part of the main timeline. However if I take this functional button and drop it into a movie clip I've created, it ceases to function. Drag it back out of the movie clip and it starts working again. I am sure it's an action script coding problem on my end.[code]
View 2 RepliesI am building a click through presentation that has some small text in it. To maintain the design and allow for readability, I have added a zoom feature.Here is the structure of the movie,Stage - contains pages movie clip and forward/reverse click buttons for changing pagesThere is a button at the _root level that uses a tweener to scale the pages_mc up to 170%. When this is clicked, it allows the pages to be dragged around the screen so you can look at different sections. When you click the button again, it returns the pages back to their original size stops drag.My problem is, on the pages, there are buttons with links to external sites. Once startDrag has been invoked, I cannot touch the buttons inside the movie clip. Is there a way to make these buttons work?
Code below
magUp_btn.onRelease = function() { this._visible = false; TweenLite.to(pages_mc, .25, {_x:-250, _y:-193, _xscale:170, _yscale:170}); TweenLite.to(magUp_mc, .75, {_alpha:0});

I have one button its name a_btn. this button is inside one move clip name a_mc. this button is on first frame. so when write code for that:
function submit(event:MouseEvent):void
{
trace("hii")
}
a_mc.a_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, submit);
its working. but when i keep this button on 2nd frame or any where not in 1st frame inside that movie clip, then i get runtime error like: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at NewFlashDocument_fla::MainTimeline/NewFlashDocument_fla::frame1(). how can i access that button on second frame...
On the about page of my Flash website, I wanted 7 buttons to navigate to various labels. I just finished the first button. I made it while I was inside the about_mc. It worked well but would NOT navigate. I took the button OUT of the Movie clip and made a separate layer on the about page for buttons and pasted it there and it worked perfect. When I made it inside the mc, is there some different code I should have used other than the standard code for making a button navigate to a frame. I built an addeventlistener and a function. BUT they only worked when the button was "ON TOP" of the mc NOT when it was INSIDE the mc. I have a transition tween on the about_mc and therefore the button does not tween when it is on TOP of the mc only when it is inside the mc.
var aboutTween:Tween = new Tween(about_mc, "y", Elastic.easeOut, -200, 146, 3, true);

Trying to target a button inside a mc in order to trigger a swf.the mc is called "nav_btns"the button is called "contact_btn" The swf has the same name as the listener in order to repeat the function with multiple swfs. my problem is, i'm getting an error of an Access of undefined property with my mcI geting an error:"1120: Access of undefined property nav_btns.
my code:
var Xpos:Number = 461;
var Ypos:Number = 294;
[code].....
My problem is I don't know how to call buttons that are located inside the movieclip?
nav_btns is the movie clip on the main tiimeline, contact_btn is the button inside the mc
script example: nav_btns.contact_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.C LICK, btnClick);
everything is labeled correct and i still get a undefined error
but i figured it out "use the Target" in AS3
I have button inside of a movieclip (that acts as a button and this movieclip has these actions)

I have a movie clip button inside another movie clip. I want that movie clip button to take me to the main timeline, frame 1 (or any equivalent that would you restart the .fla).
