ActionScript 3.0 :: Get A Loaded Swf To Subscribe To Parent Swf's Button States?
Aug 20, 2009
The parent slide show has audio buttons: mute, volume up, volume down, and replayThe loaded swfs will need to play sound based on user interactions, but how do I make it so the loaded swfs play at the appropriate volume set at the parent level? The parent does not exist at compile time, so a parent method call won't work. Somewhere I though I read I could use dispatchEvent to get the child swf to listen to the parent's button changes and make appropriate changes in its own volume levels.In the main class of the parent swf, I instantiate AudioPanel (as audioPanel) which builds the controls, keeps track of the volume and mute state, and dispatches a custom AudioEvent event when the buttons are clicked.The main class of the parent listens to the events dispatched by AudioPanel with this code:
ActionScript Code:
audioPanel.addEventListener(AudioEvent.VOL_CHANGE, volChangeEventHandler);
audioPanel.addEventListener(AudioEvent.REPLAY, replayHandler);

As I am finally dipping my toe's into AS3 from years of AS2, I am having an issue for my menu buttons (which are within a movie clip) effecting the activation of movie clips that are featured on the main timeline.
I can get this to run how i want it when each menu button is on the main timeline (by using the 'the click to go to Frame and Play' code snippet)...but when these button are within a movie clip, I can't figure out where in the code i have to add the _parent. command ?
I have attached the .fla to see what I have done. I am keen to keep using the code snippets scripts.

how to load an external swf into my main timeline. As far as I understand this main timeline is the "parent". Hence the loaded, external swf should be the "child" (a quiz).Now the child (a quiz) loads into the flash file and is played properly, but I cannot access the button on the parent anymore. Unfortunately, I really need the home button on the parent to exit the quiz and allow for new navigation within the flash document.
my AS3 Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;function onClick611 (event:MouseEvent) :void{ gotoAndPlay("home_einf")}home_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick611);
import flash.net.URLRequest; import flash.display.Loader;import flash.events.Event; import flash.events.ProgressEvent;

I have a menu with five nav buttons (atcually MovieClips). Each has three frame labels: "on", "stay", and "off". The rollover and rollout animations play flawlessly, but I'm at a loss as to how to give each button a sticky "active" state. I'd like the button to stay in it's active state until another button is clicked, then I would like it to play it's "off" animation. Each MC has this code:

I work with Flash all day at work, and I've made a million buttons. But today, I decided to make a few at home for my personal website. I made a rectangle, turned it into a button symbol, and made keyframes on each state. When I tested it, it didn't work. If I go to Control -> enable simple buttons, it works just fine, but either testing it with ctrl-enter or opening up the SWF gives me a dead button with only the up state.
I uploaded the fla. How could something so simple not work?
It was created in flash CS4, but I saved it down to CS3/Flash player 9 for the sake of compatibility.

Well I've got some problems changing the Up, Over, Down and Hit state of my button. For example when I have created 4 of those states, and I just normally save my flash file, the next time I open it my states are gone but when I play my animation the button still works with the correct states (the created Up, Down, etc. states). But then again when I enter my editor to create those Up, Over, Down, and Hit states they're just missing?

Im working on a project that has a main swf file associated with the document class. It loads XML that provides the text content for the project, then it loads a swf that contains a font in its library, then it loads the first of several content module swfs. When the font swf has inited, I'm registering its library font with Font.registerFont(), and using it in a TextFormat object. After everything is done, I can add code to the document class to create a text field on the stage of the main swf and format it successfully with the TextFormat object, but when I try to do the same thing inside the loaded content module swf, the text doesn't show up there at all.

I have a mouseOver and mouseOut stage of a button. Each button has some text in it. When I rollover the button the button does some animation, however, as soon as I rollover the text, which is inside the button, it triggers the rollout event. The text is inside the button and is inside another movie clip with no actionscript applied to it. The text is even non-selectable. What am I doing wrong?
[AS]
for(var i:Number = 1; i<4; i++){
var tmpMC:MovieClip = getChildByName('main_link'+i) as MovieClip;

I am trying to complete my navigation bar. I have the onRollOver / Out and Release states finished, my only problem now is that onRelease is not reversable. Once I click on another button, my previously pressed button is still in its down state. All my buttons have been created dynamically with no timelines involved. He is the button code that is within a for loop:
[code]
navBar["myBtn"+i].onRollOver = function() {
//create pointer mc over button

I came across this piece of code and it intrigued me. I haven't seen skinning like this before. I'd like to know if there are any downsides and alternatives to it. For example, is it cpu intensive like addChild calls are?
<s:Button id="loginoutBtn" right="10" top="10" label="Log out" label.loggedout="Log in" skinClass.loggedin="skins.FBLogoutButtonSkin" skinClass.loggedout="skins.FBLoginButtonSkin" click.loggedin="logout()" click.loggedout="login()"/>

I'm just looking for a simpler way to control button states instead of writing separate onRollOver, onRollOut, onRelease for each button. I tried to control them all through an array. The button Movieclips are nested in two movieclips. main_nav has 5 movieclips and main-nav02 has 2 movieclips. I have a general idea of how an array works, how to set up elements and how to access each node (not sure about that last one).
This is my code so far.
Select all
////////MAIN NAV ROLLOVER CONTROLS
var navArray:Array = new Array("main_nav.one","main_nav.two","main_nav.three","main_nav.four","main_nav.five","main_nav02.one","main_nav02.two");
var indexNav:Number = Math.floor(navArray.length);

I have been working on a button class and ran into a little bit of a snag.
Here is the class I created:
package
{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
[Code]....
Now while this class is working, I can't seem to figure out how to make it so when you click on one button it makes sure all the other buttons are sent back to the offState. I am using _mc's for my buttons. I think I need to put my buttons into an array and keep track of them at way, but I'm not sure about how to do that. Would I be able to get this effect to work in this .as file or would i need to write another one to control the buttons and where they are in there states(up/down/over).

I have a button hit state called btnWorkH, below is the start of my code to make it functional. The idea being, that when someone clicks the button, I add a child to the top, to make it look like it has been clicked and is maintaining an alternate color. How would I code this so that it becomes a toggle? As, I need a click (once this action has been performed) that removes the child... just not sure how to write the condition for this.
btnWorkH.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, workClick);
function workClick (e:MouseEvent):void{
addChild (workO);
workO.x = 62.5;
workO.y = 109.3;
addChild (txtAmy);
txtAmy.x = 105.1;
txtAmy.y = 109.3;

I'm pretty new to this and racking my brains on the following problem: I have a movieclip-button, with 3 states (normal, over and clicked). I want to disable the functions in actionscript 3 that switch between the normal and over-states after the button is clicked, and not enable these functions for this button until another button is clicked. What's the best/ simplest way to do this?

I have 7 buttons on my stage (buttonA, buttonB, etc) all MC's. I would like to control the RollOver, RollOut & CLick with AS3. At first I thought I could just tell my button Listener where to go
i.e. gotoAndStop(2) which is RollOver state.
or gotoAndStop(3) which is Click state.
and gotoAndStop(1) which is RollOut state.
But when I "Click" and then rollout, I need the button to stay "clicked" until some other button is "clicked".

I did a search through the forum and thought I found what I wanted, but in the end couldn't get it to work, so basically all I need is to trigger a sound when the mouse cursor is over the "over" / "out" state. Since I have animations to the buttons, I already have this existing script working fine, just need that extra line of code to add sound to the certain state, but I couldn't think of it off the top of my head:[code]

I have a flash header at the top of an HTML page. Inside the flash header resides the navigation with mouse over buttons. Home | Services | FAQ | Contact Us When a person is on the Home page, I wish for that button to be in the mouse over state, which is 'active' state. The user then goes to the Services page, and there too, when the user gets to this html page I wish for this to go active. And so on and so on. How do I do this without making 4 different flash files? Isn't there a way I can control the movie clip's or button's states from the html page?? I believe I've seen this before but cannot for the life of me find a tutorial.

I'd like to make a button, but also with rollout state, thus I have to make it from MovieClips.All I have done is that incorporated three MC (up_mc, rollover_mc, rollout_mc) into a btn_mc,and applied some AS code to call the different mc-s at different mouse states.I attached an fla made with MX to show how I imagined.. but still does not work.
