I had this posted in another post I had which was answered and it also had a lame post name so I have reposted it here I can not figure out why my code here is not working.... (i guess that's pretty obvious or I would not be posting it!).

I have a movie clip on stage; instance name: "slide_mc" on the enterFrame of slide_mc, I fill slide_mc by using: this.attachMovie (_global.myNewCip,"newMC",1); // _global.myNewCip holds the linkage identifierThroughout my swf, I use attachMovie to swap out new movie clips in slide_mc like this:this.slide_mc.unloadMovie (); //clear contents of slide_mc slide_mc.attachMovie (_global.myNewCip,"newMC",1);There is a button on the movie clip I just attached to slide_mc. Its instance name is: "pause_btn"From the main timeline I try to detect a mouse click by using this

I have this code working on a button.

Works great, but there's obviously no path recognized when loading this swf with the button on it, to an empty movie clip on another swf. (ie: _root.container.bio ...)
I have created a button for fade-in and fade-out, when cursor goes over that button, one of its element fades-in and when cursor goes out it fades-out. But if I quickly moves the cursor over and out that button, most of the time it gets stuck on fade-in ( it doesn't fade-out as cursor quickly goes out of that movie-clip area).
I am using following AS :
on(mouseOver){
// fade-in element
} on(mouseOut){
// fade-out element
}
Rather than assign to every buttons with MouseEvent, I assign to AIR application with:
private function init():void {
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,mpressKey);
}

I have a problem in the attached files. I've had a fiddle around with the animation of my navigation bar. Now i can't get the buttons to work! Also, you may see what I'm trying to do with the navigation, and do you know a cleaner, better coded way?! i've even posted it! There would be a second movie that gets loaded in, but I can't seem to load that. So, if you know how to trace a button to see if it works, that would be great!
View 2 RepliesI have the below code which attaches a movieclip "btn1" to another movie clip within this loop I wish to setup up different functions for each different button but it only lets me set them up for the last one in the line of buttons. How to I target each button seperatly by using a string and then the value of miniLoop? i.e
subnav.test_mc.item1
subnav.test_mc.item2

How can create target blank (new page open) button click
View 9 RepliesUsing a button to load an external swf into a target? Or even a layer would be fine.
I just need to have code to work with that I can edit.
I'm working on a small project right now, and it consists of three toggle buttons that control various displayed data. I'm trying to make another toggle button, that once selected, will set the three existing toggle buttons to their "on" state. I'm pulling my hair out trying to target these individually through a loop. I'm currently working in the "//Begin Turn All On" section.
Code:
//New Button Collection Embedded in Movie Clip mc"buttonCollection"
var myBtns:Array = [buttonCollection.button1,buttonCollection.button2,buttonCollection.button3]; //Put all your buttons here

I am having trouble trying to get a button to target a frame label. Right now I have the button inside a movie clip and my idea was to have the click event target a frame label that is outside of the button movie clip. The frame label actually lives within the parent movie clip of the movie clip holding the button. I am using Action Script 3.0 so I am not sure what to do. And not sure if I should have the actionscript inside the nested movie clip or in the parent. Here is what I have so far...
/*
The parent movie clip is called "services_mc"
The nested movie clip holding the button is called "brandID_mc"
The button is called "goback_btn"

I attached some movieclips dynamically from the library, and the MC contains a button symbol called "myBtn", I would like to let it load another swf on _level3...below is part of my Actionscript.

How would I go about targeting the button instance and tell it to load an swf?
I used as usual: this.menu_buttons_mc.menu_01_mc.menu_01_btn.onRele ase = function ()
{ trace ("this.menu_buttons_mc.menu_01_mc.menu_01_btn.onRe lease CALLED");}; But problem ist : it works only for one btn. Why? Try click the second flake from above and see AS layer please. I think it would be easy for you but diffic. for me.

This works fine when I test the movie, but when I load this movie into another movie, it does not work.
Trying to target a button inside a mc in order to trigger a swf. 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 mc I geting an error:"

I made a button that navigates to a URL with a _self target. Well, in the script, i have it like this:
Code:
clickhere2Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, myHandler);
function myHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("https://app.playmakercrm.com/register/eNortjK0UjJWsgZcMAkeAcs!"), "_self");
}
the "_self" isn't working on the page, but when i take out the target, it works just find, it opens in a new page which i don't want.You can check it out here
Code:
dev.myhomecaresalescoach.com
and watch that flash header for about 30 seconds, theres a button at the end that reads "Click Here" try clicking on that and it wont take you to the URL.

I have some submenu buttons in a movieclip on the mainline. My first level of navigation in on main timeline. The submenus are grouped in movieclips on the main timeline. I basically used the same code on the main navigation for the sub navigation except the code for the submenus is in that movie clip. My trace statement reads the button is clicked (which was a quantum leap for me) but I know I need some kind of _parent code in there so it knows to go to label back on main timeline. I feel like I am so close.
Also is this an ok way to set this up? I couldn't figure out how to do it in one frame. I didn't realize this basic framework was going to be so difficult.

I'm trying to figure out how to use AS to access frames of a movie clip within a button symbol (using Flash MX 2004), and I seem to be stuck. I drafted a small test version of the FLA I'm working on, and it is attached to this message.
Specifically, my intention is to have a two-state button that goes into "selected mode" after the first mouse click, and then goes back to normal after a 2nd click. I can already handle the functional aspect of this using a global boolean like the one in the attached file. The problem is that I want to represent the current status of the button with a visual change; in the attached example FLA, the intention was to change the color of the text label on this button from grey to red when the button is in its "selected" state.
In this forum I found a similar question where someone had provided a "menu.fla" that had a row of buttons that acted more or less like a radio set, which is somewhat similar to my need. I've been trying to use the same sort of method, having converted the "up" state of the button text into a movie clip symbol with two frames (one for each state), and then trying to use AS to do a "gotoAndStop()" on the desired frame of the up label animation. The problem is that I cannot figure out how to actually make this work ... no matter what sort of path I try to use to get to the movie clip animation within the button, I cannot seem to set the text animation to jump to the "selected" frame (2).
I think my problem is that I've been unable to glean any understanding from the Flash MX docs about the differences between an object name and a symbol name and an identifier and an instance name and a blah blah blah, or about which of them (if any) actually is an ID that can be accessed via ActionScript. Also, MX 2004 seems to provide almost no compile-time error checking on the validity of a target path either, so I've been reduced to just throwing every combination at it that I can think of. None have worked, so I'm at a loss.
If anyone can explain to me why the attached FLA doesn't cause the text to stay red after a mouse click, no matter which of the commented out lines I try, it would undoubtedly be a big help to me.
(Please note that the button in this FLA uses a basic flashing animation for mouseovers ... it was just something quick to implement to emulate the mouseover animation in my full file, so please don't be distracted by it. Also note that I haven't tried to implement any code to return the button to a non-selected status yet. One thing at a time.)
RESOLVED: It was apparently the nesting of a movieclip inside of a button that prevented the original target path from working (and one of the tutorials at this website seems to support that). Once I knew what the proper path syntax was and didn't have to worry about that part anymore, eventually the rest fell into place pretty easily once I started using a movieclip for the button rather than an actual button.
Just started using MX and learning ActionScript. How to make a button rollover/rollout target another movieclip using AS. (Before I was just putting an instance of my _mc on the OVER frame of the button. The problem is, whe I went to the AS menu, I couldn't find tellTarget anywhere. Later I found out its depreciated since v.5. What can I use in MX to substitute for this wonderful function???
View 5 RepliesI started working actionscript 2 yesterday for a uni project. I was wondering if I can target a movie clip on a different frame from the scripted button. For instance would:
//
_root.my_mc._width
//
return defined if my_mc was on a different frame?

In my animation I have a button utilizing the tellTarget command to activate another movieclip (which contains an effect for the button). The button and the "effect movieclip" (each on their own layer) are inside a movieclip called MC_mm_buttons which again is inside the main .swf
When I test my .swf the output window gives me this error message:
Target not found: Target="/test" Base="_level0.mc_mm_buttons"
I isolated the button and its effect movieclip simply by making them again, from scratch, in a new document.. everything works fine, so I've got the tellTarget command and the interaction between the button and its movieclip nailed down. Now, I'm pretty sure that it has something to do with me needing to specify that the effect movieclip (in my real .swf) is inside another movie clip and on a different layer.. My button and movieclip are in the same movieclip but each on a layer of their own, the movieclip has an instance name of "test" and the button has a script like this:
on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("/test") {
gotoAndPlay ("in")
}} on (rollOut) {
tellTarget ("/test") {
gotoAndPlay ("out")
}}
When I roll the mouse over the button, the output window gives me this:
Target not found: Target="/test" Base="_level0.mc_mm_buttons"

View 3 RepliesI have an image of a target on stage, that moves left and right. In the center of the image is an invisible button, occupying the centre circle of the target. The idea is you click the invisible button on the moving target and this starts another movie playing. Seems to me the action script should reside in the button, and be something like this:
on(release){
targetPath(this.movie2);
play();
}
I have a movieclip playing and when I click a certain button I want the movieclip to first play an "outro" animation (which is also inside the movieclip) then go to the real target of the button. For example, I am at the Homepage of my website then I click on the Contact button. The homepage will first go to Homepage's outro animation then go to the Contact page. I need the button to recognize the page/clip being played and the page it will go to.
