ActionScript 3.0 :: External Class That Controls The Button And Adds Interactivity To It?
Jan 29, 2009
i have an annoying problem. I have a mc that i use as a button. I have an external class that controls the button and adds interactivity to it, here's part of the code:
The problem is, i want the btn that, when clicked, remain inactive.That's why I remove all the listeners in the class. HOWEVER, it still functions as a button, I mean the functions haven't been removed at all after I click it. What's wrong here?? Why are the functions still there, if I have removed them when clicked at the btn?
I am leading a team of developers on a project where we create distance learning classes to be attendedby students on the Internet.We created classes in Flash, ActionScript 3 in but I'm facing a big problem.I had an idea to create a kind of "software" using the flash in which my team could be better organized and where I could put (in the animation swf) what they should do that day(todo list).Until then it was all right, I created this software by loading text from the internet and created some php code inorder to edit them easily, even then no problem.[code]...
I followed this tutorial below: active[dot]tutsplus[dot]com/tutorials/effects/create-an-impressive-magnifying-effect-with-actionscript-30/ to get a magnify lens effect which works wonderfully, unfortunately the problem I'm having is I cannot click on buttons underneath the magnify lens. Is there a work around to this that I can implement? I tried mouseEnabled = false, to no avail. I'm kind of not sure what else to do.
I'm trying to create a button that, when first clicked, will add a MC to the stage. Then, on the second and subsequent clicks will remove the existing MC and replace it with a new one. The code I'm using is:
I can find my way in Actionscript 2.0, but 3.0's hell for me. I've been following a bunch of tutorials and I suppose I understand the 'basics', although I'm beating myself over this 'cause most of you will probably consider this basic aswell.
The problem at hand : I made a few movieclips, that have a transparant button on the first frame inside of them, and on layers below it an animation that starts once you click it, then stops at the last frame.
(Example : You see a snail, you click it(but really click the transparant button that's above it) and the movieclip starts playing, showing a snail that crawls back inside it's shell, then it stops. Pretty simple, but it's a fun and easy way to have multiple interactive graphics on a page.)
The task at hand : Somehow make a score system that allows you to see how many of them you've clicked, meaning everytime you click a snail (for this example, anyway) there's a +1 function somewhere.
Currently, inside the movieclip (the transparant button) I have :
stop(); alpha_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextClick); function nextClick(event:MouseEvent):void{ gotoAndPlay(2); }
Which is pretty straight forward. alpha_btn is the button that makes the animation inside the movieclip play. At frame 30, there's a stop(); function.Then, there's the main timeline.
function scorePoints(myPoints:Number):void { if (Number(scoreBoard.text)) { scoreBoard.text = String(myPoints);
[code]...
It works, but only once. After the snail is clicked, I have it looped (no stop(); at the end of the moveclip, but it moves to the first frame again. Meaning, the button's there again and it's clickable again.) but everytime I click it after that, there's no points added to it.So I'll break it down to this : I need simple button that, when clicked, adds a number of points to the scoreBoard.
I'm trying to set a common task, wich is activate/desactivate interactivity (clickability) of a button. (sometimes clickable, sometimes not). The button is a blue bowl. I use the stopPropagation() of event metod to stop propagation, then my blue bowl is not clickable anymore. (if you erase "stopPropagation()", it becomes clickable) It works.
But I want to change this statut. I've designed a ON/OFF switcher, who set the blue bowl clickability ON/OFF. And it doesn't work. I've tried everything : removeEventListener, an "if" who write "stopPropagation()" or not, but it fails, it stay on the beggining statut. Here's the very simple .fla to show you : [URL] What should be my "ON/OFF switcher" code ?
When a button is pressed it adds another movieclip (from the library) to a movieclip acting as a container at the bottom of the screen. This all works fine, and the movieclip is added to the container (directly in the middle), what i need is it to be positioned to the left. Obviously i could change the .x value, but its a little bit more complicated, because if there is already one movieclip there (in the container at the bottom), the next one that is added needs to be 25 pixels to the right of the movieclip already there.
Code: var bass1:Bass1 = new Bass1(); //navigation help_bt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,help);[code].....
I have an swf with xml and external content for which I need play, stop and sound volume controls at least. The swf doesn't have them and it's action script 3 so I can't even get it opened in flash cs2.
Is it possible to create external controls or do I have to pay someone to create a new swf to go with the xml and css files?
can create a new fla/swf file that I could later edit for size, colors etc in the case where I need to create a new one. and how much... If not I may still need someone to create the controls for me and run me through the process of getting them to work with my current files.
I'm trying out a game from a tutorial for a project, and I'm trying to load the next game from within the first .swf by means of a button, in this case loadButton, when this MC displays on the main swf (this is the GameOver menu screen). The syntax seems fine and there are no errors displaying, but the .swf itself isn't loading.The startLoad function I'm having problems with is at the bottom. I've tried loading external .swfs before but that was without classes... this is my first try with classes so I'm not sure if I named the public functions wrongly or put the wrong codes in the wrong places, screwed up my public vars, etc.
I have tried to add a button a .fla and code it with a packaged class (Main.as).is it possible to use a button from the GUI and code it with a external imported packaged class?
I have this following class attached to some of my buttons to simply control the roll over and out states, as well as the click event. But i want to use the same class on my buttons but would like to control a movieclip outside of the button somewhere else on the stage etc.
put simply: Clicking my button 'moveLeft' will move a movieclip left let say:
Is there a way to conrtol the flash timeline with an external html file? For example, if i loaded in a textfield formatted as html, can i get the <a> tags to , (...say) _root.gotoAndPlay (33)
I have swf with multiple scenes.Controls in each scenes are different. How can I manipulate these controls in different scenes in a single document class for this swf?
I'm creating a photo gallery using pure AS3. Currently I have a Document class that is a Sprite with a timer to switch out images, and I need to add Play/Pause/Stop controls to this class using pure AS3 (no adding buttons/symbols to library or stage).
i have the controls for car number 1 that would be the arrow keys if [code]but how can i make controls for car 2.i wann use wasd but i cant figure out how the key.a doesnt work.
i am wanting to create a button that has the ability to make a movieclip disapear and reapear if there is such a thing, like an on/off switch apposed to 2 single buttons.
Have been trying to get this going for a few weeks. Getting stuck on one area.Have five buttons:
1. Company 2. Service 3. Portfolio 4. Contact 5. Extranet
A. Each time a button (see above) is pressed, movie clip of a drawer opens. B. Once drawer is open then ext. swf file loads. C. When user chooses another button, then drawer closes. Drawer opens again and the next ext. swf file loads.
I can get the drawer to open and load each swf file. I am having is the drawer will not close.
I will try to be as clear as I can. I have an existing swf file that I need to add Play,Pause, FF and Rewind to but I need the controls to be part of the swf file and not as a video player.
I am loading an external swf file that has all of the controls on it via this code:
[Code]...
I am doing this so I can rollover the viewing window and have it appear. I cannot get any code to work to control the timeline (which is broken down into sections with individual MC's in each section.
What I am looking for is the code to apply to the buttons on the external controller to control the playing of the movie.
I must be missing something obvious, but I've done a couple of hours of searching and haven't found the answer. I'm using Flash Pro CS 5.5, and have created a Main class that is set in the Document's class property.
In the ActionScript editor, it lists a whole bunch of ActionScript 3.0 packages and classes. In particular, it has one called fl.controls. When I try to add this to my import, though, the compiler tells me that the definition for fl.controls.Button (for example) cannot be found. Is there some additional steps (libraries to be linked, paths to be set) that would allow me to use these?
i am trying to set up a movie in as3/cs5 that works as follows:on the stage there are 3 (maybe 4) movieclips - that are divided into 6 areas.the movieclips themselves have some parallax effect on them (see attached .zip).what i am trying to do is add some script into the movie to do the follow things - first one is that when the mouse goes to the furthest edge of the browser/movie stage - the movie slides to the next/previous section of the movieclip - or rather moves the movieclips to show that section.the other thing is to add buttons to slide the mc's to the corresponding sections.so on the stage there are 4 mc's (divided into sections) if the mouse goes very far left or very far right - the mc's slide across to the next or last section/s - and if the buttons are clicked the movie will slide to a define position on the stage.does anyone know how this can be done? i've been looking for source or tuts but with no joy!

I've basically got a large background which I want to have buttons that can pan around the image. The code I've got at the moment is:[code]If anyone knows another way of panning using buttons, it would be great.
I'm working (for my sins) on a Flex 3.3 project, which unfortunately cannot be upgraded to a newer SDK version at this stage, and have hit an issue with the custom hierarchical tree class (subclassing mx.controls.Tree) we're using. Excuse the spelling; the previous developer had a fear of dictionaries...
public class HierachyTree extends Tree public function HierachyTree() {[code].....
I'm using a solution somewhere between these two methods (basically, implementing ITreeDataDescriptor) in order to add live text filtering to the component, and it's working so far:
public class HierachyTreeFilteredDataDescriptor implements ITreeDataDescriptor { private var filter:Function[code]..........
The issue is that (with tree:HierachyTree) neither tree.maxVerticalScrollPosition nor the protected property tree.verticalScrollBar .maxScrollPosition updates when the search string is changed.I've tried calling invalidateList() and invalidateDisplayList() on tree — and calling invalidateDisplayList() and invalidateSize() on tree.verticalScrollBar — to no avail.
i'm loading an external swf files in one but the buttons inside the external files wich controls its timeline doesn't work, i'm using AS3 but why it doesn't work.The external file just has some simple actions to move between keyframes in the timeline with buttons goto and some other similar actions
trying to get the swf to load and it was somthing so simple I was missing- if I can avoid the hours of frustration this time that would be great. I'd appreciate it if someone showed me how to create a basic button that will act on the contents of a loaded swf...
I'm doing a school project in flash that basically has to be a movie trailer, just several photos compiled together with some music. I got bored and now am making controls in Actionscript. I'm using CS4, however I have the document based in Actionscript 2.0. Basically, I have created a rewind button that goes backwards, however now I want it to do one of the two things:
If the video was playing when the button was pressed, I want it to go back to playing when released. If the video was paused the the button was pressed, I want it to continue to stay paused when released. I've tried some very basic if statements, trying to assign boolean statements, but I'm stuck. Here's what I have thus far for my rewind button:
This is what I thought would be pretty easy to do:
- I have 1 scene named: "ucScene" - I have a Movie clip on frame 1 with instance name "ucMovie" - Inside this movie clip is a button with instance named "ucButton"
When I click this button I want my "ucScene" to "gotoAndStop" on frame 10
I have a swf that loads external swfs. I am trying to add a mute button to the container swf that controls the volume, so the user can mute and unmute the sound. However, I cannot figure out how to accomplish this. I cant get setVolume from AS2 to do the job. I have also tried SoundTransform.volume=0 and that didnt work.
I have a Main.fla which loads Main.as as its document class. In Main.as I have a public function named "Main" which runs a trace. I also have another .as file called Preloader.as, which also has a public function in it, this one named "Preloader" with simple trace in it. I just cannot figure out how to use Preloader() from the Preloader class in Main() from the Main class. Main.as loads up fine when the SWF loads and traces.
I am trying to add a music track to some of the pages of my flash website, I imported the mp3 file to the library and dragged it on the stage and it plays when I test it. I want to add play/stop music button on the page, I dragged buttons from the video components to use, but I have no idea where to start with the code??
