1st: main button call a movie clip on click which call my
2nd level menu composed of 3 button fading in (movie clip). Each one then call a different movie clip making appear my 3rd level menu composed of 5 button.Here is my problem, when I want to lauch a movie clip from those 3rd level button, nothing happen.
I have a very simple problem but I can't find the very simple solution to it. I've create an animated menu with animated movie clips inside to work as buttons. All the main buttons work perfectely but I've got just on button with a sub-menu. On this sub-menu I've placed an invisible hitarea button in order to place some gotoAndStop action. The thing is, it seems to me like this submenu hitarea are underneath something else (even though is the seccond layers right about the actions layers). I've placed a simple trace action whenever the mouse rolls over this area but I get nothing... Am I doing something really wrong? I'm losing all my hair already.
View 2 RepliesI need a tutorial for a hierarchical drop down menu system that drops down 3 sub levels. Do I make the items in the sub menus individual buttons and then insert them into a movie clip or make every sub menu item a movie clip and insert them into buttons?

How can I create a context menu for each movie clip in as2
View 2 RepliesI have a horizontal menu bar across the bottom of a site I manage, and I would like to load it as the Moive content loads. I have made the menu bar into it's own movie clip, but I cannot work out the code to relate the Menu bar movieclip to the parent movie clip.[url]...
View 9 RepliesI am trying to build an XML Driven Drop Down Menu similar to the one detailed in the tutorial in The difference is that instead of the menu item taking the user to another website I want it to launch a swf file in a movie clip. Basically, what I'm trying to do is build a training application where the user clicks a button (created from the XML file) and it starts a movie in a movie clip. Seems simple but I haven't been able to find anything on it. All the tutorials involving XML menus have the buttons launching URL's.
View 7 RepliesI need with a menu witch has 5 buttons moving along an ellipse. When I click on a button, I need to call an "arrow" movie clip, locate it BETWEEN the button being pressed AND center stage, and make sure it's pointing toward the middle. Much like the picture below: I've spent the whole week trying to make it work but I guess I don't know enough about AS2, or geometry to succeed on my own.

View 10 RepliesI have a basic XML menu that dynamically attaches the menuItem instances to the stage. They are being attached to the root timeline, but I want to put all of the actionscript inside a movieclip called "menu1_mc". I am having some trouble with the proper syntax, because when I move the code inside of the movieclip, I can't get them to attach to the stage unless I still reference _root. I'd like them to attach at (0,0) of the menu1_mc movieclip.

I have been having some difficulties with custom context menus with CS5.5 and AS3. I have this working in 2 places: - The FLA file which I use to develop this in (I work within an FLA, but distill everything down to an AS3 based Sprite which can be instantiated via code provided the various symbols are in the library) - In an test harness. (I ensure that the Sprite can be instantiated through pure Actionscript)
The custom context menu works perfectly in both the above scenarios. However, in my main application (which is a good deal more complicated than my test harness) I see the default context menu. All other mouse events on my nested clip work perfectly.
Is there some limitation with the Context menu in AS3? My code looks fine. It pretty much corresponds to the vast majority of Context menu implementations - so feel like there is something I am missing from the bigger picture.

The menu will consist of Main headings and Sub headings that will appear when the Main headings are clicked.The Headings are displayed within movie clips that are generated via duplicateMovieClip()I have attached actionscript to the timeline of a movieclip and it loads and displays the Main headings with no problem.On the one movie clip that I am duplicating, I have an on(press) action that is supposed to generate the Sub headings using the same duplicateMovieClip technique. This is where I run into trouble. I cannot get the Sub headings to generate. Can you specify duplicateMovieClip() within the on(press) function of a movieclip that was already duplicated?
View 1 RepliesI followed a tutorial to have a movie clip work as an animated menu for a website. One of the functions is set up as follows:
function do_this() {
this.gotoAndPlay("frame label");
gotoAndPlay("frame label");
}
So the animated menu is going to a specific frame in the movie clip while the site is going to the appropriate page. What I can't figure out is how to freeze the menu in the state that it goes to with this function so that it doesn't revert back once the mouse rolls out of the hit area. Does anyone know how to resolve this?
make dynamic horizontal menu working inside movie clip instead of main timeline just like as it now.
I cant get it to working so i need you if you can assist with little coding.
I'm trying to achieve this kind of menu effect:[URL] I would like to have the menu centered under the main movie clip and follow it as it tweened to its different dimensions. I can get kinda close, but it never works out right.
View 2 RepliesI new to AS3 and Flash and have a question about this code. I can't seem to discern how the Menu is generated. The stage has only 3 object, 3 buttons the menu return buttons. My copy is based on this exact code but I get this error: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method menu. var button:MovieClip = new menu(); The working copy of this .fla file somehow generates a MENU with the names Project 1 - drag and drop

i'm making a rollover menu with AS3, and when the user mouse clicks I want it to go to a certain frame in a movie clip and stop. It does this fine, however I have an animation for it to play on Mouse out. So when user mouse clicks then mouse outs from the button area it plays my mouse out animation and i'm back to square one. How can i tell it to ignore the mouse out animation if the user has clicked the button?

I am attempting to have the main timeline move from a stopped position over a movie clip to frame 1, where my start menu is.The code I'm using does move the timeline but in doing so it somehow breaks the 4 buttons I have in frame 1.
My code in the movie clip:
stop()
function replayMovie(event:MouseEvent):void

I have an .fla created with a single key frame. In the frame I have a button instance (its own layer), a layer called "act" where my actionscript is entered, and an swf FLVPlayback instance (its own layer).
I simply want the button to show when launched, upon being clicked to launch my movie, and the button to disapear. My FLVPlayback points to an rmtp stream that works fine and is setup to autoplay = true.
currently I am using this code but the button doesn't disappear and the movie begins to play before the button is pressed. I have also switched the movie to autoplay = false but pressing the button does not play the movie.
the code on the "act" layer is (my_btn is the button and my_mc is the movie):
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClicked);function btnClicked(e:MouseEvent):void{my_mc.play();}
At the end of my movie I want to launch a URL that loads up another Flash movie. In the past I would use something like getURL("[URL]"); how to perform this task in Actionscript 3?
View 3 RepliesSo I read through Kirupa's XML/Flash thumbnail gallery tutorial and have since modified some of its actionscripting to display my online design portfolio. How do I make it so that 'LAUNCH PROJECT' is a link? Here is the modified Actionscripting (I have one of each for the 3 sections):
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;[code]....
As you can see at the bottom of the actionscript, I added a gotoURL action, hoping that simply by making <launch> read <launch action="gotoURL" variables="http:url...> that it would become a link. I, however, have had no such luck. Perhaps I have to add something more. How do I make it so that <launch></launch> has the ability to link to an URL?
I am creating a navigation bar in Flash (which will then be used in Dreamweaver). When you mouse over each topic in menu (ex. Products), i want it play a movie clip (so it shoots out a sub-menu underneath). so far so good, but the only thing is, the sub-menu won't stay open in order for me to click on buttons in it. For each button, I assigned it the Behavior to go to a url. Also, I tested the buttons within the mc and they don't seem to direct me to url. do you think maybe it's because it's nested within the movie clip?? Is there an easier way to go about this?

View 17 RepliesI am pretty new to ActionScript 3 and Flash. I don't want my movie clip to play unless the person's mouse curser is on the movie clip for more than a second. If the person just runs their curser over the movie clips really quickly, then it should do nothing. It must be more than a second. How do I code that?

I'm creating a small drag & drop activity, and I want to be able to check and see if the dragged movie clip is completely within the bounds of another movie clip (or at least in the bounds of a certain x/y zone on the main stage. I can't use dropTest because it returns true if any tiny bit of the movie clip overlaps with the dropTest movie clip.
I also thought of something that just checks the x/y coordinates of the dragged movie clip, but I'd need this to reflect a range of values rather than one coordinate. For instance, I'd want to return true if the movie clip's x is between 50-60 AND the y is between 50-60. I'm attaching a small graphic to illustrate in case my explanation isn't clear enough [URL]

View 2 RepliesThere is a bad gap in my knowledge with Event Dispatch and Event architecture, and this problem proves it. I've been getting nowhere on this problem for two days, I've posted everything to my Flash site. Go here, please: [URL] Click on "Flash Banners" The two thumbnails represent two different classes. Each class is identical. Both are "extends Movie Clip" classes. Tweeners of various types control the hover and click methods. URL Loaders load the thumnails which I then wrap in MC's and make them buttonMode = true, etc. Hover and click to load the Banners on the thumbnails.
I can't send an event from the Eagle movie clip or the T2D movie clip to tell the other to fade out. Both Banner classes are instantiated through a separate Base class. I'm sure this has to be an Event Dispatch from one MC to another and that it can't be done by the Base class. how I can send an Event or Event Dispatch and what the code structure is so one movie clip can in one class can tell the other movie clip in the other class to disappear while it's neighbour is playing. I'm happy to post code or explain / clarify anything that's not clear.
I've got a main timeline .swf file called "blank.swf" which contains nothing but two blank movie clips one called called "pproduct", the other called "ppalette". In the script frame of this main timeline I use the simple "Loader = new Loader();" method to load a URL of an .swf file into the "ppalette" movie clip. The "ppalette" movie clip contains several color chip buttons, each of which use the same Loader method above to load an external .swf into a clip. Here's what I want to do: let those color chip buttons, when the "blank.swf" file loads, be used to load an .swf movie into the "pproduct" clip on the main timeline. I'm wanting to be able to swap depths with various movie clips which will take out the movie which has the palette, but I want whatever that palette has loaded in the original "pproduct" clip to stay there.

it seems simple enough but i have no idea on how i could get a movie clip to slowly move to the coordinates of another existing movie clip
