I am working on creating a photo gallery and I am having an issue trying to figure out how to add AS3 code to link buttons to a point in a timeline. I have 5 buttons each with an alpha transparency change that works fine and now I want to establish an action on each button that on CLICK will bring up a particular photo in my timeline.
View 1 RepliesI have a scrollPane on my Stage and I have it linked to a movieClip containing a series of images that have been converted to buttons. Everything works fine, except I can't seem to figure out how to get the buttons to link to the main timeline. All I want is them to gotoAndPlay ("frameLableOnTheMainTimeline"). (I am using AS3)I tried a standard on Click eventListener, but am unsure of the syntax to make it go back to a specific frame on the main timeline.

I am very much new to AS3 and Flash and had a problem trying to get my Flash timeline to pause at a specific point if the mouse was over any part of the stage. If the mouse was not or no longer over the stage I wanted the timeline to continue playing where it had left off.
I managed to solve the problem after a few hours and would like to share my first piece of AS3 - it might help someone else who has a similar problem, or you might be able to improve it.
One of may main objectives was to make sure the code cleaned up after itself and left no listeners or timers running.

View 1 RepliesI'm working through Dreamweaver fairly well, and I'm now wanted to import Flash buttons I've created myself into Dreamweaver for a website I'm currently building, and it's here that I'm finding the problem. I have been to the 'get URL Function', but it says something about needing to link to a web page? But my problem is how can I link Flash Buttons to a web page, when my site is still being developed and not published? Do I have to publish first?
View 3 RepliesI have recently followed a tutorial to make a movieclip in flash that makes buttons spin around a point depending on the mouse position. I have made my own version off this and would like to use it in a full flash website that i am making at the moment.
The only problem that i am having is with aligning this clip and as it is made up of script i cant physicly drag it to were i want it. I understand how to alighn this with x/y positioning but when i preview the flash in a web browser it is positioned correctly but then when i 'full screen' the browser this clip jumps about 4 inches down the page.

How to notepad text url Link in Flash buttons! flash action script with notepad text linking go to url?
View 1 RepliesI have created a basic flash navigation menu bar for my website. I have added the bar into a frame on my dreamweaver page. I was just wondering if it was possible to link the buttons on my flash bar to open the pages into the main frame below my navigation bar? The code I have at the moment for my "home" button is the following:
master_mc.home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLI CK, homeF);
function homeF(e:MouseEvent):void{
var homeL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("C:UsersSalisburyDocumentsProjecti ndex.html");
navigateToURL(homeL,"_blank");
and this is opening the "home" page in a new window. Is it possible to make it open it in my main frame (called mainFrame)?

View 1 RepliesI have a timeline with 100 frames. It is basically one long animation. I have keyframes on frames 1, 25, 50, and 75.I have 4 different buttons. If the user clicks one, it will go to a specific keyframe. For example, if somebody is on the frame 50 keyframe, and they click on the button that sends them to the keyframe on frame 25, instead of just jumping to frame 25, the animations plays from 50 all they way to the end of the timeline, starts over and stops at 25. ( The animation is a spinning wheel that always spins the same direction if that helps visualize)
They could click on any button, from wherever they are, and the animation will play to the specific keyframe.So, basically a script that says, "play until the playhead reaches a certain frame (or label) then stop. I obviously cannot use a simple 'play', and have a 'stop' at the frame I want, because where the animation needs to stop will always be different.
I have a three masked pictures all are movie clips on the main timeline and the mask works ok. The problem I am having is a set of buttons on the main timeline which allow you to move between the frames the three pictures are on. They allow me to do this ok but when the movie is started the first time one of the buttons is pressed the masked pictures can be seen on screen briefly before the screen displays the material properly.
This is the script I am currently using:
room_pic.setMask("mc_mask");
mc_mask.onEnterFrame=function(){
this._x=this._x+this._xmouse*0.300000;
this._y=this._y+this._ymouse*0.500000;}
I have three layers the main picture which is a bitmap; the three masked pictures are in the layer above this; and the mask object is in a layer above this and is a movieclip.
how do you link(code) your swf pages to each other (through buttons) when making a flash site or portfolio?

View 0 RepliesI am trying to use a sound controller in a flash movie to play music and I am using loadMovieNum to load the sound controller movie at a particular point in the main timeline. I get the sound player to load up fine and the sound loads fine when a user presses play, but about a minute through the song the sound starts to play again, overlapping the song that is already playing. This happens with no user interaction...it just takes about a minute. I also noticed that it is only when the sound player is within one of the movies. It doesnt happen when the sound player is all by itself. Is there something in my movie that is making it loop over? What happen to the search that used to be at the bottom of the page?

So i can assign one button to load news1.swf and another load news2.swf.

I am creating my first flash website and have hit a wall, i have four buttons"HOME, ABOUT, PORTFOLIO, CONTACT" and each button plays through the same movie clip from different points. ie the labels.
"HOME" being the first part of the movie and "CONTACT" being the last section with "ABOUT & PORTFOLIO" playing the sections inbetween.
but what i am trying to do is make it so that when i am at the home section and click "CONTACT..etc." i want the movie clip to play all the way through the about & portfolio sections to get there, and back again if i click one of the others*(from contact to the about, home or portfolio section)
I just imported a video file with 2 sections titled:
music
light
This should help:
So this code works perfect with a componant button but I can't make it work with a normal one. Why? What is so different about them. Why can't I make a normal button and give it the same name "my_button"
For some reason even if I name the button the same thing as the component button it no longer works
I have an animation that loops and has different images come up with certain elements on the screen that remain the same throughout the movie. Depending on the image that is being displayed, the url of the link assigned to one of the constant elements changes with the code that I posted below.
The problem occurs when the movie loops because the URL of the constant is supposed to go back to the first link (just like everything else loops and starts at the beginning) but it remains as the last url that was declared.
Here are the three blocks of code I am using for the links, truth is the instance name of the button. These code snippets are arranged in their own "actions" layer on my timeline
First URL
truth.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http:../pages/calculate.html");
[Code].....
Lets say I have two objects, and I want to use action script to draw a line connecting them, which will update automatically as they are moved/ dragged.Can anyone show me how to do that, and also how to control line's parameters like colour, weight etc?
