how to link the buttons in drop down menu to the content(scenes) within the flash file? The drop down menu has been made using the masks. Those buttons, which are not drop down/masked, work properly. Those which are drop down/masked, do not work. The content appears after clicking on them, then disappears when other (drop down) button is rolled over.
View 0 RepliesI have a drop down menu in AS2 Flash. I want to be able to link to any scene, any frame from this one menu.All I want to do is to go back to the root and then to go to the relevant scene/frame. Inside my menu (a series of buttons inside a movieclip), the code on one particular button is:

I'm having problems with drop down menus.I have created one, using a variety of online tutorials, and the animation works, i.e you hover the mouse over a button, and subsets of buttons pop up. They all work nicely, and change colour on the 'over' state. The problem is, I want these new buttons to move to a new scene (well, I want them to do something, because they don't do anything at the moment.so I put the standard
on (release) {
gotoAndStop("Scene 2", 1);
}
on the buttons......................but nothing happens.
- I have a Flash page with 3 buttons that are ALWAYS UP TOP.- I need each button to jump to a different scene.I got it to work on one but when I add the Actionscript for another button I get a 'duplicate function definition error'.Here is my Actionscript (movie and gallery are my button names):
movie.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(1, "Scene 5");
[code].....
stop();
brain_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickFunction);
function clickFunction(evt:MouseEvent):void {

im making a quick flash cd rom for my digital music label and i wanted to have buttons (leading to the different content scenes) that were moving around constantly (kinda flying around the screen) thing is im not sure what im doing wrong ive tried using an animated movieclip as a button but the button functions dont seem to work...the reason ive done this is because ive used a stop action on scene one frame 1 (so the buttons display properly) but i want the buttons to move around constantly the only option i know would work would be to create tweens moving the buttons around on screen one but it would eventually stop unless i can somehow loop back to frame one.
View 6 RepliesI have an iframe to a page where a Flash swf file is running; does anybody have an idea how to make it transparent so that my drop-down menu should be shown perfectly? Kindly be informed I can't edit the source page (add param = wmode, value = transparent to the Flash object), only if there is any chance to make it possible in iframe or some JavaScript on my page, I have already tried allowtransparency="true" and background-color="transparent".

View 2 RepliesI have followed a video guide on how to make a drop down menu in Flash CS4 ( AS3) with a few modifications. Instead of dropping down, it appears to the left of the "button" and it's a fade in fade out effect.And instead of text in the buttons, I've put in .png's. One png for normal button, another png for mouseover.The problem is that when I put the mouse on the original button ( the one meant to activate the menu) it activates the menu, but when I try to put the mouse on the menu, the menu dissapears.I've tried putting the layers in different orders but it didn't work.[code]
View 2 Replies I am attempting to revamp a website. The buttons that are currently being used are only gifs that are hyperlinked and there are almost 12 buttons... I think that this is a ridiculous amount of buttons to have. It looks very cluttered. So, I figured I should make 6 buttons and just fit the rest of the buttons into subcategorized buttons. And the way to do this is to create flash buttons with drop down menus. To see what I mean, go to this link and look at their buttons:
[URL]
Their buttons drop down into menus with sub-categories. I want to do this.
So far, I have gone into flash, created buttons and made graphics for the "Up" "Over" "Down" and "Hit". I have also added the menu buttons and graphics for the "Over" of each drop-down button-menu.
I have even provided the action script to link each button to where I need it to go.
HOWEVER, here is where the problem is. When I roll the mouse over the button, and then move the mouse down to click on one of the buttons in the drop down menu, the menu disappears, OF COURSE, because the mouse goes off the hit. I can't make the hit bigger, because the menu shouldn't open unless it's on the main button. But without the hit being bigger, the menu will always disappear.
IN ADDITION, I've never used flash buttons on a website before. I'm just using HTML. How do I link the button to the page? Do I save the file as a .swf flash file? And link to 6 different files? Or do I save the buttons in a line, and just use one link?
I am having an amazingly frustrating problem here, I created a drop down menu with different buttons and I want these buttons to send me to a different scene in the flash document, again, Working with AS2.When I click the button in the movie clip, all it does is it closes the menu and doesn't direct me to the frame I need, but If I copy the button, and paste it outside the movieClip, it works just fine.[code]

I'm having a bit of trouble getting a button in a hoover over drop down menu to link to another scene in the .swf movie. I just doing a basic drop down menu (example here: [URL] with a couple of buttons with in a movie clip, the movie clip being the "button" someone hoovers over. The buttons however are not going to the corrisponding scene I have them set up to. What's strange is that if I set in the buttons action panel to go to an url instead of a scene, in the .swf movie the button works when I click it...it wants to go the specificed url. Nothing happens when it's set to go to a scene.

I'm trying to create a horizontal drop-down (well, sliding in actually) menu bar that expands to stage when rolling over it, and collapsing in when rolling-out.

View 4 RepliesI've been asked to make a simple game and have very basic flash knowledge, I was approaching it as an "interactive comic" kind of way to make things easier for myself. However it's become very cluttered and I'm trying to figure out how to link scenes to keep things a little more organized so I don't make things harder than they need to be. I've looked online and followed the instructions to a tee, however when I try to impliment them into the game, nothing happens, no error code, just nothing happens. The .fla is too big to attach, so I've attached a brand new .fla using the same codes.
I've tried the following codes:
on(release){
gotoAndStop("Scene 1", 1);
}
That didn't seem to work, so I tried naming the scene as you'll see and tried that, still nothing, I'm sure I'm missing something really simple but having very minor flash knowledge I can't see what that is.
having previously made webpages just in html.I have a flash movie and wanted to add a series of links.I've made some buttons, but when I rightclick on them and go to actions, I don't get the 'basic actions>geturl' command that the help screens tell me I should have. I get some other crazy menu with options like 'Global Functions', 'Actionscript 2.0 Classes' etc.how I can bring up the actions menu that will allow me to create a link from my buttons?

View 1 Replies1. Need it to do: when the correct word is placed in the box, it stays there. Currently it disappears. I think this is because we are removing the child, but if we don't remove the child - it stays in all scenes and frames and interferes with being able to drop more words in the target box.
2. If you incorrectly guess, then correctly guess.. the incorrect guess is visible throughout the rest of the scenes and frames (this is a big one, i need this fixed somehow).
3. Not as important, but in order to make this work, I had to go into each scene and make sure all my variables were named differently then the other scenes. There must be a way around this.
