I'm using addchild to load an external swf into a swfContainer, but i realize that all the buttons and text links doesnt seem to be working anymore....
///////////////////////
swfContainer.addChild(loader);

I try not loading it into a movieclip instead i load in on stage addChild(loader); and everything works fine and why is that happening?
I'm obviously a Flash novice. I have a simple movie that I need to modify. On click (or double click) I need to have a web site open in a new window. I am using CS4. I have tried adding a button and associating action script with it. I usually get a message saying that action script cannot be applied to the highlighted object.

Another thing this lightbox doesn't work in IE 8.
My Error was:
1120: Access of undefined property adclicker.
After I was creating a symbol and writing the following code on to the frame:
Code:
adclicker.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, callLink);
function callLink(event:MouseEvent):void
{
[Code]...
Solution:
I had to change the INSTANCE name to "adclicker" and not only have the symbol with that name!!!
- Choose the button -> Properties -> Instance name: "adclicker".
I have a MC with a hole in it, graphically speaking. I need something behind it to show through the hole. The MC has a button embedded in it, so its clickable. But where the hole is I am not getting the button finger when I play it.My button hit area covers the hole, but it won't recognize it apparently.URL...Its the 2 bluish polygons on the map.
View 1 RepliesI am having some difficulty creating a SWF file that had a FLV embedded that is completely clickable at any point during the video. Created a new Flash document and imported the video, using the "Progressive download" option. I have tried everything from adding layers with click instances (http://forums.adobe.com/message/256259#256259) to making a button the size of the video that is set at 0% alpha.Every time I either get the video playing that is not clickable or i get the flv icon flashing (no video) that is clickable, or I get the flv icon flashing and it is not clickable at all.I am using CS3 and just looking for a video banner ad.

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to load a SWF into another blank SWF file and make it clickable? I have a (parent) flash which has a clickable transparent button on it and i am trying to load another external flash into this to make as clickable.
The external loading is working, but its not clickable. Without the external flash, the parent is clickable.
I was sent an swf ad for my website and when I mouseover it I get the click hand symbol but when I click a page loads with an error saying that the page cannot be found.
I tried to place an a href tag around the entire swf file but I get the same error. Is there a way to fix this without having the flash file?
The PHP script below basically returns variables myImage0, myImage1, and so on. I know how to get the variables (URL's) into flash, and I know how to load the jpegs associated with each URL. What I don't know how to do is make each movie clip clickable, and be able to use geturl so that when they are clicked they can go to whatever.

I have a movieclip that sits underneath a mask. I have set up an event listener to listen out for the MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN on the movicelip in question but the handler doesn't fire whilst the MC is under the mask.. When I remove the mask everything works fine. So my question is this: Is a MovieClip clickable under a mask? If so - how do you do this?

View 3 RepliesI'm creating an xml generated gallery/menu, I have the gallery and menu populating fine but my issue arises when I try to make the menu items clickable.
This is inside my populate menu function
_root["mainMenu"+[i]].onRelease = function() {
trace(this);
var splitThis:String = this
var splitThisArray:Array = splitThis.split("Menu");
trace(splitThis)
trace(splitThisArray[1])
};
Now the trace output I get is
_level0.mainMenu1
_level0.mainMenu1
undefined
Although when I set splitThis to "_level0.mainMenu1" manually I get "1" or whatever number comes after "Menu".
So 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 created 3 buttons in flash (biography, music, contact). Whenever you hover over them,they animate. Is there a way to make these clickable objects in Dreamweaver? I've searched and found out about the 'invisible button', but this doesn't work for me because it takes away the animation I created.

View 1 Repliestrying to bring in a list of people from an XMLdocument when a button is pressed, and once that list is broughtin, I want to make each name clickable so that a reader can findout more information about that person (the text of which wouldalso be from an XML document). The first part seems fairlystraightforward (see coding below; Im not sure if this isthe best way to do it, but it seems to work). Im stumped,though, about how to do the second part (make the names clickable).
View 5 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.

View 2 RepliesI have added an on click event to a child object which is not always displayed Its pearent object also has on click events. There are two problems.
1) Whenever I click on the child object the pearents onclick behavior also runs. I do not want this to happen.
2)The child object can be clicked on even if i set its alpha to 0, or set its display property to false or send it to the back of the stage. This means its behavior can be invoked by the user even if it is not visiable I dont want the child object to be clickable when it is not dispayedI dont want the pearent object to be clickable through the child object

I have a program where I have several different movie clips, some on top of one another. And when I click I want the one I clicked and two or three others to switch places so the others underneath show. I can do this, but only for one movie clip. I can't make any other movie clip clickable without having an error saying I am redefining function clickListener.
View 1 RepliesI'm building a specialized viewer application which loads external SWFs.
var content:Sprite = ...
content.addChild(loader);
I listen to my top level content Sprite MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT events.The over handler hides default cursor and displays a custom (zoom) cursor.Out handler changes cursor back to default.What I want to achieve is NOT showing the zoom cursor when the mouse is over a clickable item in the externally loaded SWF like a button or textlink.The current code works perfectly for AVM1 swfs.The problem lies with loaded swfs using AS3.For these the content MOUSE_OUT is fired and instantly MOUSE_OVER is fired as well, so the cursor remains wrong.What this probably boils down to is: How to check the mouse is over a clickable child of content?
