I wrote this code that loads and unloads object to the screen. But have small issue. When i press the CityButton it loads the object... i dont want the villageButton or anything to be selectable until the CityButton is pressed again which causes the loaded city object to be removed.
/*//this is the button events for each name*/
cityButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
villageButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler2);
i'm currently in the process of making a pageflipper (originally from here) but i seem to not make any progress anymore..i want the flipper to close on a button action and after it's completely closed make it perform another action, namely letting another movieclip gotoAndPlay!...the flipper is loaded into another movieclip...so it's possible the buttons will not work properly.
I opened from my main swf a new one with addChild. Now in the 2nd swf i need a button to close this swf and open another one ... I done this way because the button i puted in the main swf does n´t work (maybe because i´m using in both swf liquid layout with a resize function). How can i do to close the 2nd swf and open another one.
The only way I have found so far to capture the browser window close event from actionscript/flash is actually to capture the event in javascript, and then use a javascript/flash data passing from the javascript callback.
Something around those lines:
window.onbeforeunload = clean_up; function clean_up() { var flex = document.${application} || window.${application};
im having a big problem with my pop ups. at the moment i am using the code form this tutorial [URL]. The windows pop up, the problem lies in that the pop ups wont replace each other. if one pop up is open, trying to open another one just makes the old pop up active, it doesnt open the contents of the new one. this is a big problem since the pop ups are for my portfolio to show the work at larger sizes. is there a way to tell the new pop up to close the old one and then open? would this be some sort of if... else statment? or is there some other code i should use for the pop ups? either way,

I am stumbling across this issue as I open and close a sound stream. This is the code I use, not sure if closing and opening a stream on the same function is a good idea.
I have an HD video that I shot of curtains or drapes opening and closing. I would like to make something in Flash where someone could click one side of the curtain and pull it open. When they release the mouse it should close back. In the video both sides open at the same time so I'm not sure if I can make the sides independent or not. If I can do this I may also want to make a version where the curtain stays where they released it.After I make a web version I am going to try to turn it into an app for a smart phone. The online use with a mouse is way more important at this time.
Relative newb to Flash and not sure what the issue is but I have a shelf opening and closing effect The timeline is 45 frames long and when the shelf is out it has this AS3 code in it:
I have a NetStream publishing properly using multicasting for fp 10.1. My problem is that I can not close the steam and open it back up. I call .close() on the netstream object and receive this message: NetStream.Unpublish.Success I then call .publish("same stream name") and receive this error: Netstream.Publish.Badname
Is there a way to programmatically close an open file dialog?
My current problem is this: I have a small file download program. When the user clicks a button, it will pop-up the Save As dialog. The problem is, if the user closes the Firefox window, the dialog stays open. And when the user wants to close that dialog, he or she can't anymore. It won't respond. The only way is to kill the plugin process (on Linux anyway).
So is there a way to monitor opened file dialogs?
I've tried to get the browser to notify the Flash app that it's closing, which works great. The problem is even if the app knows it should close the file dialog, it can't...I've tried setting the FileReference to null, using delete on it, calling the garbage collector, etc., nothing seems to have any control on that dialog.
I'm making a site where I need the music player to go on and off the screen wehn you hit a close/open button. Click here to view the Radio opens but can't close. This is the code I use:
After working for a prolonged time on a programming problem, I start to get coding tunnel vision. It makes it harder to draw back and look at the problem from farther away. Hence my question: I am using a Drupal 6 site. When a menu option is clicked, the page opens and a Flash SWF file needs to played in a ThickBox. After 8 seconds, that Thickbox closes.
Opening the SWF file in the Thickbox when a link is clicked is no problem, just like closing the Thickbox afterwards; that's basic javascript. For that I use these:
[Code]...
But opening the Thickbox on load? I can add a link for the user to click, but it should open automatically. I figured out the PHP to have it only open on one specific page. From the Thickbox manual, I learned to open links to images - but not how to open it when the page loads.
I'm trying to create a pop up window in Flash which also fades the background window to 75% black. When the user closes the pop up window, I'd like for the parent window to un-fade back to normal. Is this possible? I can do the first half of it and make the background window fade to 75% black. The difficult thing is making it fade back to normal when the user closes the pop up window.My thoughts are that I need to attach some code to the browser's built in close window button. It might require some javascript or a fscommand. I'm not sure.
I have a main website witch has a photo gallery, in an album for example I have 5 photos in thumbnail mode, I created an independent slide show in SWF called genova.swf where I have inside the 5 high res. photos found as thumbnail in the main website, and I used the following script to call it :
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); mcLoader.addListener(this); function onLoadInit(mc:MovieClip) { mc.close_btn.onRelease = function() {
[Code]....
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.
I would like to open a separate swf file from with in flash, but by default, it opens the swf in a browser. I would like this file to open in a stand alone player not in the browser.How can I achive this? Right now I'm using the getURL() action. Is there a separate function for opening a file at a specified filepath?
I am creating a movie, and need to create alink to open a web page. My movie exists in a folder ("Flash") and I need to move up a level(out of that folder), and into another folder, (HTML) where the page I need to open resides. What would the path name need to be ie: ..HTML/default.html?
I'm using Flex's Advanced Datagrid for a project and need inline comments, in a similar style to Excel spreadsheet comments.A little visual indicator should indicate if a field is associated with a comment, and on clicking on the element should open or trigger an action for displaying that particular comment.
I am a super noob at actionscript. And I want my button to open a movieclip and then close the movieclip when clicked on again. I have no idea what to add after that here is the code I have for the button so far.....this button opens it.
on(release){ this.linemc5.gotoAndPlay("ear"); }
and this is another button I made that can close it, but I want it to be in the same button rather than seperate.
I've got a drop down menu. I want to click a tab to make it drop then, if it's open, click it again to close. I've tried a million variations on the script below:
var btn_grp1:String function main1Down(event:MouseEvent):void { if (btn_grp1 != "dwn") {
[Code]....
This works too (once). So the drop down buttons all disapear again, but it won't re-set. The drop down menu stays up from then on.
BTW i'm not set on this method, it just seemed the most obvious i.e. if menu hidden, then show it, set some variable to down (showing), else hide the menu, set var to up (hidden). Not working though.
I have a picture on the stage that has multiple items that have hotspots/links over them that should open a child swf on top of the background and show details about the items. then have a button in the child swf itself that removes the child from over the background so the user can click on another item etc.I found this code in someone's post and I am trying to modify it so that works for multiple swf files...it currently works for a single swf.I wan to pass the name of the button in front of the .swf in the URLRequest to have the same name as the instance name of the referring button. But I can't figure it out. Here is the code I am using on the stage
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 have a slideshow that is looped ... it contains 5 slides.I am using a gotoandPlay action to control the slide show.
on (release) { this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98"); }
There is a fade transition between slides.When a button is released ... I want to gotoandPlay (frame 98) ... and then have it stop 10 frames later on (frame 108). Frame 98 includes the transition ... if I just gotoandStop on frame 108 ... I loose the transition.Is there any way to incorporate a stop action, after a gotoandPlay action on my button ... without naming instances etc.I.E.
on (release) { this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98"); STOP ON FRAME 108 INTEGRATED HERE }
I just want to make a simple button action using actionscript 2 but I can't get it to work! I'm sorry for even asking but I've been at this for too long now for it to not work I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 and I do the following --
File -> New Flash File (ActionScript 2.0) Insert -> New Symbol Name - test Type - button Export for ActionScript Identifier - test
And then draw it in using the keyframes and add the code to 'Actions - Button' for my button
Code: on(release) { trace("trace"); }
I click on the button and it animates but no action event in the trace?
How can I get an action to follow another action when a button is clicked? When a button is clicked, I want the timeline to go to a certain frame and play and when it's done playing, to go to another frame and play. I basically want two actions in one function.
