im having trouble adding my button images that are in my library to an array.
I have tried the obvious var array:Array = [pluto_btn, mercury_btn, jupter_btn]; but flash isn't adding the buttons to the array.
I want to add a slideshow to a web page. I have made a slide show with flash however I really want to add the play controls. Is this possible using CS4 Flash
View 10 RepliesI am trying to add multiple different versions of the same button to the stage and to be able to access them later on by assigning them an ID. The way I assumed this would be done is to have a class for the button where an internal static variable is defined so that the ID can be found in the next function. This does not seem to be working, as the ID is constantly showing as the last number given, so in this case 6.I assume that I am doing this wrong? Here is my code so you can better understand:
package src {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;

i'm porting an old AS2 project to AS3, And have encounter a problem. I've tried a few different things but had no success.
in AS2 when dynamically attaching a MC from the library i would sometimes use an array. the array would hold linkage reference's, like so;
var mc:String = state_ar[currentState];
this.container.attachMovie(mc,mc,this.getNextHighestDepth());
targetMC = this.container[mc];
How would i do this in AS3?
I recieve the following error..Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Stinger@d8d43a1 to Array.[code]where laser.wielder is an Array that gets declared inside of the StingerLaser Class. As of right now, there is only one type of object I am trying to put into the the array. And that is stingerWhen trying to add an object that is type Stinger to an Array.[code]If no one can figure this issue out, atleast I would like to know how loose is an Array in actionscript? Can it take all types of classes or just classes that are of the same parent class or what?.
View 4 RepliesI have 4 buttons and an empty array. When a button is clicked,I'm adding a element to an array with array.push. However, I want to check the array 1st to see if that element exists. If so, then don't add it. Here's what I have thus far
[Code]...
Now I'm taking it I'd have a conditional statement to see if the element already exists. Unfortunatly I cannot just disable the button. I searched the AS dictionary but oddly enough it doesn't have an easy way to search an array. And IndexOf seems to only work for a string.
This is my first real programming endeavor and this is the last thing holding my little project back from being a success.
My goal with this code is to add event listeners to an array of Movie Clips that will drag and drop them on the stage.
Here is the code:
var itemBank:Array = new Array(d1_anim.drawer1.test01.movieClip_1, d1_anim.drawer1.test01.movieClip_2);
for(var i:int = 0; i < itemBank.length; i++) {

I'm new to AS3, but our teacher thinks we're all amazing geniuses and assigned us this project which was due last class. Great, I know, I have to do it even if it's late. Only 5 students out of 28 were able to finish the assignment.[code]Those are all the assignment details he gave us.All I have so far. What I have only adds the array to the list. Nothing much else.[code]Also, when the array prints on a new line, the prior item on the array must not print as show above.
View 6 RepliesHow to use array to do 3 flash buttons with onclick function?
View 1 Repliesim learning as3 and am trying to understand arrays so could an array be used in this situation i have 5 buttons which all need a ROLL_OVER, ROLL_OUT and CLICK mouse event is it easier to put all the buttons in an array and then use the array identifier to add the even listeners? or is there another way to do this? p.s if anyone can give me a few basic usages of arrays that you use in your experience. where to use arrays too
View 5 RepliesI have a number of buttons (that are in an array), I want to add a function that basically says:
If the name of the button that you have just clicked on == (is the same as the name of the scene label) then go to that scene: Now I have used this handler function which seems to work O.K, except for the fact that it keeps trying to goto the FRAME label instead of SCENE label.
I keep getting the error message when i click on a button saying:
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label mars not found in scene home.
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop()
function autoGoTohandle(event:MouseEvent):void {
for (var i:int = 0; i < arrayItem.length; i++) {
if (event.currentTarget == arrayItem[i]) {
gotoAndStop((destArray)[i]);
}}}
I figured it must be this line of code at the end: gotoAndStop(+(destArray)[i]);
But how do I change it so it goes to the scene label name and not the frame label name? I Tried adding quote marks like
gotoAndStop(("destArray)[i]");
But I am getting errors.
I am trying to use two buttons in an array that use the same information in that array, so I'm trying to lump them together so I don't have to write them separately. This is what I've come up with, which doesn't work. One of the buttons works, but the other one doesn't:
var arrNavigation:Array = [{button:(n1_mcButton, n2_mcButton), page:bucktown, popup:popUp1, imgNumber:9},
n1_McButton and n2_McButton are two different buttons, but all the other information is the same.Is it possible to write this more efficiently than listing the buttons out separately?]
I am running into some trouble adding an array into another array to create a multi-dimensional array.The code appears as below:
var slideDataArray:Array = new Array();
var slideShowDataArray:Array = new Array();
slideDataArray[0] = xmlData.SlideShowParameters.SlideShowImagesDirectory;[code]........
I am looking for a means of placing the slideDataArray into a 'slot' or value of slideShowDataArray so that I can in the end pass the slideShowDataArray as a parameter to another function.As of now, the last slideDataArray appears 11 times (the loop runs 11 times) in slideShowDataArray and the way the code is written the slideDataArray is unique every iteration of the loop.
How do I add a label to a button? Using a component button, in CS3 it seemed quite straightforward however CS4 has me stumped. I am trying to make up a website with a row of buttons across the top to appear in all the pages. I have a controling page names portfolio.fla and several other pages to link in with this one. I have placed a button in the library from the components tab in the windows tab. Then dragged out 5 buttons and have them all working properly and linking up to the other pages, but when I went to place labels on them found myself having problems. Clearly not a good day for me.
View 5 RepliesHaving got my AS to work nicely - I was happy as the everything fitted into to place - so I moved onto adding a few more buttons placed in some new MCs. problem: When I press buttons that having nothing to do with the main script a dynamic border ,that changes size to reveal a new picture when it is loaded after a preload, decides to do a loop. Even the main picture flickers as if it has also been reloaded even though that script is executed by a button with an instance name.
The border MC uses a onClipEvent (enterframe) command to initiate the script - does this mean it reponds everytime any MC has something happen to it? If so, can I somehow write the AS so that the onClipEvent refers to the event of a specific MC so it does not respond to all MC events?
Ive been making some advanced buttons with some trendy transitions using Lostinbeta's onEnterFrame/ hitTest method below:
Code:
//this script is on my mc (which is the button)
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)){

My flash files is designed like this:
Layer 1 Pages with labels and actionscript for that specific layer (stop, gotoandplay, and Uiloader source)
Layer 2 is a Movieclip with a navbar
Layer 3 Dropdown menu where buttons are placed inside a movieclip
Layer 4 Actionscript
My problem is finding the correct way to link from a button inside a movieclip to a label inside another movieclip.
I have three links
Link1, Link 3, and Link 4
The current code I am using is
import flash.net.navigateToURL;

I am working on the tutorial [URL]
The tutorial uses a multiline textbox to display data from MySQL but I wanted to know how I would code if I used a SINGLE LINE textbox and added a BACK AND NEXT BUTTONS to show one record at a time.
I saw on a website once (I wish I could remember which site it was), flash buttons that were creatively animated. The button would appear just as text, but when you hovered over it, an image would rise from behind it, then, when you moused off, the image would go back down. It did this for each of the buttons and I cannot figure out how to get that to work, especially since in CS4 with AS3 you cannot use AS on a button. It's also really difficult to add a motion preset to a button....

I have an MC that has a graphic. I have faked buttons for just the over state, so it shows a border around a portion of the graphic. That works fine until I added this to the MC:
this.onPress = function(){ if (this._currentframe != 1) {
rewind = true;
}}
The onPress function does what it should do, but the buttons no longer show their over state when I hover over them.
I followed a tutorial to build a click-thru photo gallery that is linked to an XML file. The tutorial set up the navigation as being controlled by clicking the images, but I wanted to add some more obvious navigation prompts for viewers on my website. The "next" button was easy to do as I just copied the actions for clicking the images on the main section of the stage, but when it came to building the "previous" button, the code was not working. I want the button to take the audience to the image before the image they are on when clicked.
I've pasted what I have below and highlighted the sections that I have altered. If you could please tell me what I'm doing wrong, that would be great.

In CS5, I want to create a series of buttons that when clicked will linked to other frames in the same timeline. So one button will link to frame 5, one will link to frame 10, one will link to 15, etc. All the buttons will appear across the top of the stage on a layer, and I want them to appear on all of the frames so the user can click back-and-forth to the different frames/screens.
1. Is the best way to do this to just add the buttons to frame 1 and add a keyframe to the last frame in the timeline, frame 15, so they are copied to all the frames in between?
