I created a class that turns a movieclip into a clickable button. But for some reason it only works on one of my movie clips and not the others, even tho the other movieclips were created as duplicates. It saying that its a null object Below is my code for the class.
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;

Having problems with a buttons which is inside a movieclip and this movieclip is under another button.The buttons is not clickable anymore.I have a panel which is having a button when you rollOver the movieclip will goes up.And I want that the buttons which is under the movieclip is clickable.When I rollOut of the movieclip I want it to go back to its original positional tion.[code]...........
I am making a game in flash cs5 as3 and what I want to happen is for when I click on a button that brings out my movieclip I want to beable to click on another movieclip and have it go to a certain frame, and I want the first movieclip to be deleted. Right now I have it so that if I click any where on the stage then it gets deleted, and thats good, but I want to beable to play a different frame in the movieclip i am clicking on.heres my code so far:
Code:[code].........
I want newketchmc to be able to click on the newmovieclip and newmovieclip goto a certain frame while newketchmc dissapears.I know I need to use an event listener but Im not sure where to put the event listener or how to even begin codeing the function that I want to do.
how do I completely remove a movieclip that is created as a new class.I have an event listener that does a removeChild like this
e.target.parent.removeChild(e.target);
is this enough or do I have to 'null' the object? I can't just do 'e.target = null' because the property is read only. Will the internal garbage collection do the rest for me if I have no references somewhere else?
I know it is possible to attach a class to a movieclip that exists in the library by checking 'Export for ActionScript' and specifying an 'AS 2.0 class' for that symbol.
I would really like to know if it's also possible to attach a class to a movieclip that was created by using the 'createEmptyMovieClip' method.
I have created Movieclip in main actionscript file main.as :
var drawingSign:Movieclip = ne MovieClip();
drawingSign.x = 40;
drawingSign.y = 40;
How could I access it (add listeners etc.) from a class file?

I have this main (document class) in a Flash project:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
[Code]....
Now: if I pass a reference (ref) of the main class to Other and I add clippo as you can see in the first case, I can reference the movieclip clippo from the main (getChildAt(0) is "clippo" from the main). But, is there any way to use the second method (no ref) and do the same from the main class? I can see clippo onstage when Other creates it but I can't understand where clippo "lives" into the DisplayList.
I'm dynamically adding to the stage a series of mc from a MovieClip class contained in the library(instance.name: "btn_1", btn_2", etc..) and trying to call them from a method within my Main.as class. What's the best way to do this. I can't seem to reach these dynamically created MCs.
View 2 RepliesFlash CS4. When I enter a movie clip to edit the timeline the pasteboard turns to the color of the stage. The result: I can't see the edges of my stage. This is only within the MC. And only within one particular MC (I created another one and the pasteboard stayed 4% gray). When I take the content in the bad MC (via copy frames) and move it to the good one, the same thing happens: Pasteboard turns to the color of the stage. I've tried SFT-CTL-ALT double click. No luck. Strangely, this isn't happening in every FLA. I know it must have something to do with the content on that timeline, but what that is I have no idea.
View 3 RepliesI have an ArcGIS map created with Flex. The labels created dynamically are the towns on the map. We have some PDF files that have some information about the towns on the map.
Is there a way to make those town labels clickable so that they can display the PDF information on a new page?
im trying to make a lightsaber that when you push the button, the lightsaber turns on, and then when you push it again, it turns off. There are three frames in this animation. It starts out with just the handle on frame one and by frame 3 the beam gets to its full size. Right now, the light saber will start out with the beam completely out and when you click the button, the beam will go down and then back up and stay there. This is the actionscript i have so far,

In AS2 I could just do onRelease() inside the class, and all the movies would be clickable, if the class extended a MC.
This is my AS3 code, not sure why it won't work. It's like nearly impossible to Google, spent like the last two hours doing it.
Code:
package

import flash.display.MovieClip;

I've got a huge survey I've made with lots and lots of groups of radio buttons. There are maybe 60 questions with 6 buttons each. Of these, I have a couple of groups that are really misbehaving. What's happening is for one question, the first button in the group seems independent of the rest. That is, I can check the first radio button and it never turns off when clicking others in the same group.
All my code is right. I'm using the exact same code with all the other groups and only two groups aren't working right. Ha. That's the funny thing, though, because everything works fine IN Flash, but publishing to a web page, these two groups stop working right.FWIW, I've set the first instance of the radio button with a name like "G10" then all the buttons in the group have the group name "Q10".I've tried several ways of fixing this including deleting the whole group and adding them again, copying a working group and renaming the parts. Nothing. The one thing that has worked (and don't ask me why) but adding a new single radio button with a new instance and group name has fixed other problem groups but not these two.
I am loading movieclips on top of one another, and that part is working just fine. Each movieclip loads another *.swf file that fills the entire stage.
However, the buttons for the previous or "parent" movieclip are still clickable through the "child" movieclip. I still get the hand cursor and complete functionality for buttons that arent visible in the current movieclip...but actually reside on the parent. It is causing me a great deal of problem with event handling as some buttons are directly on top of the buttons for the parent and it's triggering unintended events because I can click "through" the currently visible clip.
I have tried button.enabled = false; but that doesn't seem to do the trick. Is there something I'm missing in the way I'm loading the movieclips? [code]...
I have a menu movieclip that pops out from the right hand side on rollover. On this menu there are four buttons for menu navigation options. However these buttons are not working properly. I feel that the menu movieclip is taking precedence over the buttons because the whole menu is than clickable, while the buttons show up, however are not clickable. Here's what I have so far:

I was wondering if there was a way to stop a button from being clickable. Lets say the user has been idle on a site for 5 minutes. I want to flash movie to through up a translucent cover on the buttons and make the buttons not clickable.
View 3 RepliesSo I got this AS3 game thats completely written in Flex without the .fla file and I want to put a clickable button that links back to a webpage to the mainmenu screen.
In the IDE and AS2(which is what I usually work in), it was just simply:
Drag button onto the screen Convert it into a button symbol and then do this:
Code:
on(release)
{
getURL("http://www.urlhere.com",_blank);
}

I am creating a survey in flash to survey people's opinion about the temperature in a building. What I am hoping to do is have a scale which the surveyee can click on (see attached image) with 5 options from Too warm, warm, just right, cool, and too cold, and record where on the scale they click.
For example, if "Just Right" were correlated to an answer of 3 and "Warm" was correlated to an answer of 2, and a user were to click halfway between the two, I would want the recorded value to be 2.5. If they click closer to "Just Right" I want the recoded answer to be 2.8, etc.
It seems that the quick and dirty way I can think of doing this is to create a serious of invisible buttons over my scale which can then tell me where they click, but then I am limited in the granularity of the answer and it would just be a pain to create that many buttons.
what i am trying to achieve:i need to create a navigation MC that, when rolled over, opens up to reveal a few buttons. (and when rolled off closes the navigation MC - basically a "play backwards" MC)
[Code]...
it is in fact MC created with duplicateMovieClip("ButtonTemplate", "Button1", this.getNextHighestDepth()); and on (press) event on it, so it acts as button. On clicking it, it moves playhead to a frame 10 where it should not exist while template button is placed on layer that has frames only 1-5 and it loads a MC that covers it and even has command
_root.coveringMC.swapDepths(_root.getNextHighestDe pth());
I still get "hand cursor" on hovering covered button and is still clickable?
I've been using this site for a while as I'm taking flash lessons in my college and right now I am building a portfolio website and am in need of help, so I've decided to come to you for some light. My problem is in the portfolio I'm creating in AS2 I have the photo and video galleries in form of a click'n'drag movie clip that slides sideways. So far, so good. However, when I add buttons to my mc (and that includes the ones in all my video players as well), they don't work at all. I think it has something to do with the function I'm using. Is there any solution for allowing buttons to be clickable? This is the code I'm using directly in the mc:

Got a button (imported png defined as a button in the library).The button is dragged onto the stage, given an instance name "btn".Clicking the button fires an eventListener which is doing all the right things, except...
btn.enabled = false;
...only changes the cursor from a pointing finger to an arrow. What?! It is still clickable.My intention is to disable the button so it cannot be clicked. But it can still be clicked. Not good.How do I disable a button and prevent it from being clicked?
I want to add a button with a cross to the header of the accordion which can be clickable. that means i want to display a message when the some one click on that button. i go through many of the samples in the web but couldn't get it done.
I tried with also a CanvasButtonAccordionHeader, it shows the button but when i click it, it didn't give the message although i created the click event handler.
In the first I have a button and if somebody click on that button it goes to the second scene.In the second scene I remove the button with an image so it is not clickable.How to leave this button, but make it not clickable at all?and the second case is what if I am using just one scene in flash and want the button be clickable only once? How the actionscript will look like?

View 4 RepliesHere're my 2 problems: 1-I did a menu moving in 3d following my mouse movement. But i would like it to have a limit of rotation on the left and on the right, cause i don't the user to see the back of the image (the image is rotating 360 right now, i would like it to rotate maybe like 90 or less). Here's the code i am using:

2-My second question is about my menu buttons. I want them to be on lower layer cause it help creating my 3d scene cause sometimes it is a part cover by my image on the top. But the buttons stop to be clickable when they are behind something (even a part behind). I want them to be clickable at all time. The strange thing is i checked out in the forum and a lot of people have the opposite problem... their buttons still work. How can i make mine clickable?
I am trying to do panning of a movieclip I have two movieclips on stage. canvasPanel_mc and mask_mc. The former is the maskee for the mask (mask_mc). Inside mask_mc there is a movieclip dragCanvas_mc. The alpha of dragCanvas_mc is set to zero. This is code that I am using:
mask_mc.dragCanvas_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onStartDrag);
mask_mc.dragCanvas_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,onStopDrag);
mask_mc.dragCanvas_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,onStopDrag);
