ActionScript 3.0 :: Get Link Command To Correct Button?
Jan 20, 2010
I have a total of 11 buttons each named b1, b2, b3 etc. I used to have it so when the a button is clicked, the button was recognized as to which one it was through an array and string and switch statement (I will show you below). But now I have to introduce something in the middle and so I am not sure how to make it work any more.
Code:
public function addButtonEffects():void {
//the buttons used to lead to onButtonClick as you can see here
//but now I need them to lead to closeShutters and from there go to onButtonClick
b1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onButtonClick);
I need to take a user from a html link to a specific anchor point in the Flash website... that's easy enough. But the problem then is that the site is blank until it has loaded the relevant section. There's a preloader at the start of the whole site, but if a person jumps right in, it appears that nothing's happening for a while -which doesn't look very good- then the page appears. Is there a way to take the user to the first frame so that the preloader does it's bit, and then use the flash vars command to check the link they had come from, and jump then to the relevant section?
There is a webpage based on PHP which use a swf flash file. inside .swf flash file there is a link connection to a website like [URL] How can i write a code for preventing it to connect to something.com from inside PHP file?
i created my subMenu buttons fine, however i only know how to link them to a picture/url address, my goal is to have the user click the subMenu button and open the image or page right below the menu bar in the "stage" area of flash. I read about IFrames but i'd rather create the whole site in flash .Here is the code for my subMenu...
btn_34th.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler); function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { navigateToURL(new URLRequest("images/34th.jpg")); trace("I'm Clicked!");
Again, this works fine, i just want to have the image take up the "white" space on the stage area, very similar to an IFrame.
I've trawled the web, everyone with different ideas on how to call up a mailto link in AS3. What I'm looking for is this: I have a box, that is coverted to a button symbol given the name 'mailto'I have another layer for the actionscript I have imported 'flash.net.navigateToURL' and 'flash.net.URLRequest' I know I need to create a function or a variable to link in the already created button. Do I also need to import the MouseEvents?
I created this FLA to get used to CS4 (i was previously using8)Everything works wonderfully, I would just like to know how to use AS3 properly, without having to call defeat and create the FLA again using AS2.
I'm trying to get the depths of all the blocks to be at the correct levels at the correct times so that the 3d effect is maintained. I've tried many things, but have had little success. All the instances of the blocks are stored in an array, but since it's adding them in accordance with when they're added to the stage, it doesn't help me locate them to swap depths. Is there a way to arrange them by location on the board?
I'm using a loop to generate and position a bunch of movieclips on my stage and another to add mouse eventlisteners to them, turning them into buttons.
All this works fine however when i attempt to trace the instance name of the button pressed, output is firing "instance40" or "instance41" etc.
how do i get the correct instance name? I'm attempting to get at the value of the textfield held within the movieclip i.e. trace(evt.target.value_txt.text); however this is resulting in errors.
Is there a standard procedure for generating buttons in a loop? I'm not understanding why my buttons aren't tracing the correct instance names or why i can't access the movieclips contents, specifically the value of the dynamic text field?
Code's below, if anyone wants to see the whole code, or FLA, give me a shout.
ActionScript Code: var eggs:Array = []; for(var i:uint = 0; i < 24; i++){
I signed on to this adobe forum hoping some one can help me. Ive created a navigation bar in Flash CS5.
Ive got my up, down, hover states to work perfectly but the state hit i just cant seem to figure out what it does. What im looking for, is for someone to help me with, when a user lets say clicks on 'Home', i want that link to stay 'red' so that user knows its on 'Home Webpage'.
I dont know if i have to add code in flash for it to do that or if its done by the hit function. Because ive set which colour hit should be, but when i hit/activate the 'Home Webpage', it wont stay a solid colour, to show its active. It just goes back to its original colour after doing hover/down/hit.
I have 4 mc's that are acting as btns inside an mc on the main timeline...[code]there are 3 other mc/btns and all come up at different frames in mainbranch_mc (mainbranch_mc is on the main timeline)
first question, if I add the above codes to each mc at the beginning or end of mainbranch_mc I get a null error, so the only way I do not is if I add actions to the frames the buttons start in. (is this correct?)
second question, since btn mode is true I do not need to change the mc properties from mc to button correct?
last question, since newolivefour_mc and the 3 other btns (which I did not list are all inside the branch_mc timeline) how and where do I code so the btns when released to getURL's.
I used as usual: this.menu_buttons_mc.menu_01_mc.menu_01_btn.onRele ase = function () { trace ("this.menu_buttons_mc.menu_01_mc.menu_01_btn.onRe lease CALLED");}; But problem ist : it works only for one btn. Why? Try click the second flake from above and see AS layer please. I think it would be easy for you but diffic. for me.
Well i have an adobe air which runs vlc-player at background as service. i check that in Windows Task Manager , the service runs when air application launches. here is the code
processArgs.push("--extraintf"); processArgs.push("rc"); //Remote control processArgs.push("--rc-fake-tty"); //Use terminal as output

My buttons are not being placed in the same position as my other buttons are on another page? I copied the same x and y cordinates as the other page..but they are still not being placed in the same position..why is this?
I have a project that includes 22 buttons that appear and disappear from the stage depending what the user is doing. These 22 buttons are text converted to movie clips. They are all rotated slightly (between 5 and 30 degrees depending where they are on the stage). BUT...hen you ROLL OVER them the mouse thinks the button is in a different location to where you see it. I realized the cursor reacts as if the button is no rotated at all; so the cursor changes to the hand, and the buttons change colour when you are near but not over the button and then you move over it and the cursor returns to an arrow thinking its rolled out.
I was wondering if anybody would have some input on this. I have three paths in my movie, p0, p1 and p2 (instance names). These paths are buttons and when I click on the right button I will get a message saying congratulations, if I click on the wrong button I will get a message saying wrong path. The catch is, a text file will contain the info on which button(path) is the correct one. The text file will contain, p1=true&, nothing else.
I want it so that when you click a button, it will run a multiplayer game and connect to a server, WITHOUT having any .bat or .exe files beforehand. So any new guy can rock up and connect, just as long as he has the game.
It will run the game and connect to a certain server. The problem is, how do I get Flash to do that without any premade .exes with command lines?
The only other problem I can think of is, is it possible to run the game without knowing the directory the exe is in? In other words, could Flash find the game .exe if it was just given a name?
good tutorial for drag and drop quiz style? I have managed to actually create the drag and drop but I need it for a quiz (as quiz templates are no longer available past CS3) so need it to tell the user if they are correct or not i.e. drag a word onto a picture and then hit a button that says if its correct or not or something similar.
There is a div in my project, and this project is on-line. Inside this div there is a space that is made in flash (actionscript 3), inside this space we have to sign a contract with the mouse. How can I save this signature without an options window to choose where I want to save this signature?
(The button to save the signature is made in flash too).
I have created an interface that uses a lot of the loadMovie command using levels. Once I have loaded a movie on say level 3...in that level 3 movieclip I will have another navigation that will load and then use the loadMovie command to load movie on level 3 as well. It loads it correctly but the back button that would contain the unloadMovie(3) command isn't unloading, say if the user wants to go back.
I have a photographer's portfolio site in the works. I'm using loadMovie connected to thumbail buttons of each photo to show a larger version of the photo. Here is the script[code]...
Now the photographer would also like to have a next/previous arrow buttons so the user can click through like a slide show. Is there a way to have Flash know what movie is currently loaded and based on that information go to the next or previous?
I have a game with two joysticks and I use the dispatchEvent command to send the fire button event. What would be a good way to send the number of the joystick to check who pressed the fire button. A bit dirty way would be to save just the number in root or in my main class.
Within that same MC is a button that tells it to close. However, I run a trace command to it and nothing happens. It seems like the onPress nested in the onEnterFrame is over-riding my button on(press).
I have an an array of objects. I populate the datagrid from the array. The nmber of columns in the datagrid is fix i.e.5 and the first column always shows serial number (0,1,2,3,4). I have a link button called 'CLEAR' in the last column of the datagrid.
1> How do I make the clear button visible only when the row is particularly clicked 2> When the clear button is clicked, how do I make the contents of that particular row cleared. Not deleted, only cleared to insert data again. Also, the serial number (0,1,2,3,4) should not be cleared, nor deleted. How to do this ?
I'm new to Flash and am looking to use the following tutorial to create an advanced button. I know it is probably a very simple fix, I just cannot figure it out. [URL] In the tutorial the rollover and onrelease has the following script this.onRollOut = function(){ rewind = true;} this.onRelease = function(){getURL [URL]); } I have tried to change the on.Release command to go to and play another frame in to movie instead of opening a new url. But I'm not getting it to work correctly.
I'm using actionscript 1.0 and 2.0 on flash Pro 8 and keep getting an error when I test the movie. Here is the error:
[Code]...
I've tried to create this rollover navigation...starting over 6 times already. Is there different language / coding for 1.0 and 2.0? I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
