ActionScript 3.0 :: Create Buttons States For MCs?
Nov 25, 2009
I am creating a generic website that would have abstract MCs that would load jpg or TXT fields for the user interface to allow for fast updates to the site. The MCs that would make up the user interface would be empty and load things into it using XML or PHP later on. How would I create button states for the user interface MCs. I started creating a function for every MC button state but I thought there might be a more efficient way.
and is using URLRequest the way to link to pages with in a movie well the flash movie that is the site it's self?

var waywardLogo_mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip;
var theCollection_mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip;

I am having trouble with a job I am doing at the moment which has an mc with buttons within it. I want it so that when I roll over the mc it tweens from a small version to a larger version, and on this mc there are some buttons. At the moment I can get the mc to move but the buttons remain inactive and also the rollover states on the buttons don't work. I have attached a simpler version of what I am trying to do to this post.

As I am finally dipping my toe's into AS3 from years of AS2, I am having an issue for my menu buttons (which are within a movie clip) effecting the activation of movie clips that are featured on the main timeline.
I can get this to run how i want it when each menu button is on the main timeline (by using the 'the click to go to Frame and Play' code snippet)...but when these button are within a movie clip, I can't figure out where in the code i have to add the _parent. command ?
I have attached the .fla to see what I have done. I am keen to keep using the code snippets scripts.

Below is the code I have for my buttons.I have 3 different swfs loading in once each corresponding button is selected (CLICK). I also have rollover and rollout or idle states. Now the dilemma: Once a button (mc) is selected (CLICK) I need it to remain in its rollover state. Once another button is selected I need the previously highlighted button to switch to idle state and the new button to be highlighted... Sounds like the most basic, simple, AS3 101 question, but alas I am hitting a wall. Based on my provided code what is the best option for this, an array with an active state on the timeline, a toggle with Boolean ect, ect...?
Code:
var Hotspots:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(Hotspots);
moreInfo_btn.alpha = .5;
moreInfo_btn.buttonMode=true;

Lets say I have a nav with 4 items that are blue. If I click on one, I want it to turn red and stay red to reflect that Im looking at content in that area. If I click another nav item, the previous turns back to blue while the newly selected one turns red. I started to write a function and define a variable but I would like to see an example.

I'm trying to make buttons for my website that have sounds playing on them during the over states. But when you move the mouse off the button, the sound keeps playing. Run that mouse everywhere, the sounds are all playing, it's chaos. How do I fix a button so that the sound stops playing when the mouse moves off?

I have 5 buttons. Each of which have different movie clips in the up, over and roll out state. To be more specific, each button looks like a window. on the up state curtains cover the windows. on roll over the windows open. on roll out they close again.
What I want to do is ON PRESS force the button to go to its roll out state and then cut off all user activity from all the buttons until the transition to the next page takes place.

I have the following code to control the rollOver, rollOut and release states from my buttons (btn_company, btn_products, btn_services and btn_enquiry):
Code:
for (var i in this) {
if (this[i]._name.substr(0, 4) == "btn_") {[code]...
I also have 4 movieclips (title_company, title_products, title_services and title_enquiry) which I also want to control with those buttons. When btn_company is pressed, title_company should go to frame 2, When after that btn_products is pressed title-products should go to frame 2 and title-company should go back to frame one.

I wanna add dynamically (at runtime) new states to a container and, to this states, add different elements (like TextInput, Label etc.). This must be done from actionscript, I don't use any mxml file. I can add states and change properties or styles for different elements, but I didn't figured out how to add child elements for different states.

I am trying to create a simple pie chart that has rollover states, and when clicked brings up a first column of text, then when a field is clicked brings up a second column and then a third. There will be around 100 different text fields show up. Now at this stage I have about 40 functions setup and about 25 event listeners and I havent even started on the text fields yet.
My question is do I need to continually write new functions for text to appear, then a second to disappear and trigger the next filed OR is this what Variables are for?
I think this sounds very confusing so I have attached the file. Please help as I have a crazy deadline on this and simply can't work it out, unless I continue on my road of endless functions.

I was wondering what would be the most optimal way of coding something that work this way: There's 10 buttons, you click button 5 (for example) which causes button 5 to gotoAndStop(2) while at the same time it tells all the buttons which aren't button 5 to gotoAndStop(1)

I want to create a loop for 20 buttons:
[code]....
the code within the rollover/rollout function doesn't work. It does work when outside of the function or when the code doesnt use "g".Is this because once inside the rollover/out function it always brings back the last value of "g" ... in this case 20?[URL]

here is my contribution with this script you can create buttons dynamically and remove them (howmany) is the variable of the number of the buttons to create.
Code:
function makebuttons(){
// if we have buttons created at first time we remove them to recreate others ones
if(_global.createdClips.length>0){

I'm aiming to create a website that works just like this one[url]...
I want similar features, ie; rotating and expanding text controlled by mouse events and drop downs.
I'm not concerned about the drop downs currently, but for all I can think of right now, I am trying to figure out the best way to complete this task, and the code (AS3) that would be needed.
I've come up with a few thoughts (forgive me as I'm only moderate at Flash- can code, remember most of it, understand it, but can't always come up with the solution off the top of my head)
