I was working on a tutorial from the AS3 cookbook and I made a movie that creates random lines once the move is set in motion by an ENTER_FRAME event. I modified the movie by creating a button to set the movie into action.I am having trouble with a Stop button, I tried a removeEventListener on the makeLines function but it didn't work.[code]
View 2 RepliesI am using Flash CS5 and our professor from school has asked us to do a simple project for this weekend however I have been having so much trouble I have no idea what to do. He want's us to create an animation in flash and to use 2 buttons. One that will stop the animation and another that will play the animation. So this way as the animation is playing I can click stop and then click play at random times and the animation will stop or play.I have a buttons layer with 2 buttons on the same layer. One is called start and the other is called stop. I have a seperate layer with a movie clip I created of a moving polygon that goes from one side of the screen to the other. After creating the movie clip I double clicked on the object and created my animation in the new viewer that popped up. Now I have clicked scene 1 and it took me back to my main timeline.
Lastly I have an actions layer with nothing but code. I have made sure to type all my code by right clicking on this 1st frame and going to click actions. Then I typed in my code. Please note that each layer only has 1 frame as they were all edited individually by me double clicking on the object.After inserting the code I have I go to test the movie but get all these compiler errors. What am I doing wrong? Here is my code and the errors I keep getting.[code]
I'm trying to make a stop button to make it stop playing the sound. But I get an error saying:
TypeError: Error #1006: stop is not a function.
at sound/SoundStop()
Here is the function for my stop button:
function SoundStop(event:MouseEvent):void {
cs.stop();
isPlaying:false
}
I just got Flash CS3. I'm trying to get my main timeline to stop in the begining, on button press to play and at the end stop again. In AS2, you would just put stop(); on the first keyframe and stop(); on the last key frame and program your buttons accordingly.
The stop(); does not work!!!! It's driving me crazy. What am I missing? I've gone through the tutorials in Flash and they don't work either.Also, if you have MovieClip that contains an animation and you don't want the movie clip to be on a continuous loop how do you stop it from playing. In AS2, I would put a stop(); on the last keyframe of the movieclip's animation. This also does not work in AS3.
i have programed a play button using:
[Code]...
now i am trying to program the stop button to allow the user to stop mid song....
What I want to create is a group of 13 images and upon rollover each image would make a different sound. I don't want the sound to stop once you move the mouse though because I want a few different sounds playing at the same time. At this point I don't really care whether they play for their whole duration or just for another 15 seconds! I'm doing this for Uni and the guy said it wasn't that hard.
I have some basic knowledge in HTML code, but I am a complete newbie to flash. I've downloaded Flash C5 and that's about as far as I've got! I'm not entirely sure which template if any I would need to use. I can't pay back in knowledge since I don't know anything, but I could bake you cookies?!
i have to generate a button dynamically... and have to keep a click handler for the same how to write script for clicking buttonim using following code for creating button dynamically
var btn:Button = new Button;
btn.label = "Print";
In the past, we've put a stop() action in the timeline of movieclip symbols so that the timeline would not play and we would control all animations via code. We've also done that to the main timeline as well. Is this still needed for performance reasons? Is this needed for dynamically created movieclips? I know that the Sprite class should be used if there is no timeline associated with it.

View 2 RepliesI'm designing an interface for a class, and the buttons that I am using all have multiple functions.For example, when the story button is clicked, I need the mc to stop playing and change to text (in the same window/screen, just no mc playing). The mc is 31 frames long, but if there's a way to just make it loop continuously until told not to, Currently, my code looks like this:
stop();
story_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,story);
function story(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop(32);}credits_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,credits);[code]...
When I click the button, the mc does not stop playing and the text does not show up.
I want to stop the sound loop from one button by clicking new button. Does anyone know the code that would stop one button's sound from looping by just clicking another button (for another sound)?So you have these buttons:button 1 button 2 button 3 button 4and after clicking "button 1" a sound loops. when i click "button 2" i want the sound from "button 1' to stop.

View 2 Repliesi am trying to create an animated button, using a Movie Clip.
1. I create a Rectangle with a fill.
2. I convert it to a Symbol (Movie)3. Double Click on the graphic to create it's on Timeline.4. Why do i then need to convert to a symbol again?It will not animate unless i convert that timeline button again.
Draw a rectangle using the rectangle tool; select the text tool and create a text box inside of the rectangle, and type in BEGIN; make sure it fits inside the rectangle; select entire image by left clicking then dragging over it; convert to symbol button.
Then, I add in the code of going to keyframe 4 when released (which works fine). But when I test it out and mouse over the button, I can still select the text which gives me like barely any space where I can click the button to go to keyframe 4. This is reeaaallly annoying me. How can I fix this?
I've created a simple animation (falling snowflakes with some text that pops in and out) and I wanted to create a button that would replay it at the user's command. I've searched everywhere for the code or how to do this, but I've found nothing of relevance.

I have created my four layers for the button, but i am new to flash and i am not sure where to go from there.
I thought I had a handle on the timer class (even just a beginners understanding), but I'm having trouble with it.I have an event listener for the timer and it starts fine i get a delay, then a tween,but when I place a myTimer.stop();in the fuction the listener called (to stop it) it dosent stop.it will repeat placing the first image, and then call the first function again
......Wait its placing the first image in (a couple of lines before the start), so Its restarting the whole movie, not just the function?
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, tweenone)
myTimer.start();
function tweenone (event:Event):void[code]...........
I'm trying to make a "next track" button. "T" is meant to be track number, and every time they click this button, I wanted "T" to increase by one until T>4 where I need it to go back to T=1 (I've only got 4 tracks). Then, I want, depending on what "T" equals, for it to start playing Track"T" and stop playing previous track. I also want the track playing to be looping continuously. At the moment, everything is muted, until I press the button; where it then plays all four tracks at once. I also have a problem with the mute button, but I've got a strong feeling both are of the same reason. I think my problem is that it does not know what "T" equals to begin with so it accepts all if statements; playing all tracks. But I'm new to Flash (my second project) so I'm not sure.
on (release){
stopAllSounds();
T =T+1
if (T>4){
T=1
} if (T = 1){
_root.snd1.start(0, 100);

I'm really new to flash, with my background mainly in C++ and Java. But what I'm wanting to do is create a 5x5 button matrix to make a game.I've tried using the visual style of drawing the button and what not, but I really don't like it. I'd like to have like an array of button of object where I can track things like click count for each object. Is this possible with action script?
View 41 RepliesI 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.
I work in Flash CS3, AS3.I've created a button that links to another webpage by using this code (the code is added to a separate layer):
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
steud.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
[code]....
It works just fine, but the problem is that I want to add more buttons (and links) to it, and thats where I get stuck. When I try just adding a new layer and adding the code there, everything stops working. I've also tried copy/pasting the code beneath the first one, with no results.
I don't use Flash that much so the question may sound simple, but how do I pause audio in a timeline? I have added the audio, play and stop button. When I test it works fine, but I can't figure out how to add the pause button, or the play/pause button.

View 5 RepliesI am creating a button component in AS3, the idea of this button is that you can set its parameters to the name of movie clips you want to use as its images (mouse up/over/down etc).So basically it's a button that you can easily change the appearance of, and this would be reflected in the preview on the stage. I made this component in AS2 and it worked very well and was very useful.
However there is a problem with this component in AS3 - When I create an instance of my button component and try to set images for it (remember these are the names of movie clips in the library which have been exported for actionscript), the preview of the button component does not show the images. When I compile the SWF the button component does show the images ok though.
When my button component redraws itself, it looks at it's parameters and calls getDefinitionByName to create an instance of the correct movieclip. I am guessing that the problem occurs because the movieclip I am trying to instantiate is not in the component's library, it is in the library of the project I am using the button in, so maybe the component doesnt know what that movieclip is?
But it's odd because when I compile/publish the SWF it works, like I said, it's just the preview of the component that doesnt work, and that's kind of the point, being able to get a preview of the button so it can be positioned and sized correctly.
I know I could get it to work by putting the movieclips I want to use for the button into the button component's library, but that again defeats the purpose of this component.
I am trying to make an effect on a button that when I mouse over it, it keeps jumping up and down smoothly and when mouse out it stops. I tried this but the result was really bad:

One of my webpages has a scrolling text box. When printing, the print only shows the text visible on the screen at the time of printing, so most of my text is missing from the print.To solve the problem I created a print version of that page, with full text visible. I figure a print button can link to it. This file is called print_bio.swf.Question - what would the script be (in AS3) for a print button (printButton) that when clicked prints my other swf file (print_bio.swf) with full text visible?
