ActionScript 3.0 :: Buttons Inside Of A Movie Clip - Disabling Button
Jun 15, 2010
I am learning Action Script and have been working on a menu of buttons that will disable when clicked and enable when not clicked. The buttons are nested inside two movie clips called main and menu, whose instance names are main_mc and menu_mc. I have 3 files the fla with actionscript in frame 1, a ButtonSet class file and a DisablingButton file. get this error: 1120: Access of undefined property one_mc.(for each of the seven buttons)
[Code]...

blank_mc.blank2_mc.onRelease = function();
{
_root.gotoAndPlay("frameLabel");

I am trying to place buttons inside a movie clip to control the timeline of the same movie clip. This does not seam to work like buttons on the main timeline. When I play the movie the cursor does not turn into a hand and the rolloever affects only sort of work. I have read about controling the movie clip with buttons on the main timeline, but I need one of the buttons to change halfway through the movieclip. I want to be able to jump to interior shots while in the exterior section and vice versa. It would seem that button would work the same way inside a movie clip as they do on the main timeline, but that does not appear to be the case. I am using CS3. Action scrip 2.0 is selected, but I could change it to 3.0 if it would make a difference.

Having a bit of a problem with a project. At the moment I have a draggable map which is a movieclip, within the movieclip I have added a range of icons for hotels, restaurants, etc.I am having a problem linking these icons so that they will take you to the correct point on my main timeline. I've converted the icons to buttons and added the script below, but it doesn't seem to be picking up that the icon is a button. I think it may have something to do with it having a start/stop drag on it.

basically, i have made my web pages, and converted them into Movie Clips,i load them via actionscript 3.the problem i am gettin is that how do i make the buttons active inside the different pages ( movieclips )... the buttons are not made from buttons, but they are also made from movie clips.i can make the menu bar work fine, to load each page, but cannot get the movieclips(buttons) to become active inside another movie clip.

I am practicing AS3 (after years of AS2) and am having trouble having a button inside a movie clip talk to another movie clip on the main timeline. Here is the code:
OneButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, OneButtonClicked);
function OneButtonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void
{
MovieTarget.gotoAndStop(1);
[Code]....
The code above works, but if I put OneButton and TwoButton inside a movie clip, I know longer can target MovieTarget and MovieDescription. The reason I want to put OneButton and TwoButton inside it's own MC is so I can dim each button after it is clicked by toggling the playhead inside that MC.

ActionScript Code:
for(i = 1; i <= 27; i++){
this["build" + i].onPress = function(){
buildMenu._x += 380;
}
}
I have 27 buttons on a menu generated by a for loop. When the button is clicked it moves the menu +380 pixels. Now to shorten my code I moved the buttons inside the menu movieclip. Intance name: "buildMenu"
This means I only have to move the menu rather than the menu plus each individual button.
The code below works fine but I don't want to have to write this 27 times as each button will be calling much more than just "buildMenu._x += 380;"
ActionScript Code:
buildMenu.build1.onPress = function(){
buildMenu._x += 380;
[Code].....
I'm stuck on combing the this["build" + i]" with the menu movieclip instance "buildMenu"

I recently started working on a project using Adobe Flash Pro cs5, the one thing that i am stuck on though is trying to call a button from inside a movieclip. I have an example of what I'm working in a zip file. Its just a scrolling pane with 10 buttons inside. I just need to know how to call for the buttons to link to other frames in the timeline

Essential what i am trying to do is have a scrollable box with a list of names that the user could click a name and proceed to an info page. Currently i have a movie clip containing all my buttons in a list, and then i am using a scroll pane to scroll up and down my movie clip. The issue is i cannot utilize the buttons i put in the movie clip. I found this process in a different forum on this site but they wouldn't say how to finish it.

I have an mp3 player that sits off stage. There's a tab sticking out for it. When you moust over this tab (which is inside the mp3 player mc) I need the player mc to gotoAndPlay("over"); which is the player animating onto the stage. Then when you rollOut it will gotoAndPlay("out"); Which is the player animating back off stage. Now I can do all of this easy, but then none of the buttons inside the mp3 player mc don't work because flash thinks the whole movieclip is one big button.

so...i've got these buttons in movie clips. the buttons are animated for mouseover and i've also got an action on the first frame of the main timeline to get the buttons to stay active when clicked on, so the view knows where he is.the problem with this is that any time i go to put an action on the button itself to pull up an external .swf or whatever, the buttons stop animating and/or stop staying "depressed" on the active sheet.

is it possible to disable a button behind a movie clip?
i have a page with buttons on the screen, but upon a trigger, a movie clip opens (sort of like a pop up) that covers most of the screen including the buttons. in this opened movie clip, there are more buttons (sort of like a mini game) but the trouble is that the buttons from behind are interfering. Also, when the movie clip/pop up is to be closed, i would like everything from before to be intact as it was before the pop up was opened. i have tried using alpha but am not happy with this approach. are there any other ways?

when I leave a window with flash content, in this case, a scrolling movie clip with buttons inside set to hyperlink popups (only 1 hyperlink is set so far): [URL] the flash content will disappear. So if I go back to the window, I have to reload the page to get the flash to appear again. Same thing happens if I minimize the window, when I bring it back up, no flash, and I have to reload the page. The menubar with the boxes at the top is flash as well (different swf) and that doesn't have this problem.

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.
