I'm working in a photogallery inside a mc (ex. movie>menu>gallery). There are 6 thumbnails in this gallery and I would need this: clicking on a tb i would open the bigger image in a mc in the root with alpha effect (fade in). I started using this code:

I am fairly new to MX 2004, (previously used Adobe LM) but am well under way building a dynamic gallery using PHP and mySQL. So far I am able to load the thumbnails from my database, and create an onPress event for each thumbnail. I can get a static .jpg to load, but I can't get the thumbnial to link with the corresponding fullsize image dynamically.Basically I have loaded the filenames from the database into two arrays: thumbnails[] and fullsize[]. I know the database is working perfectly, I can load the fullsize images or the thumbnails into the thumbnail placeholders. I'm at work so I can't post the .fla until later,
View 3 RepliesI have a Tile List Component full of pictures,when a picture is clicked i want it to gotoandstop at the frame where I made the picture fill the page. How do I do that if I can't insert an addeventlistener for any of my thumbnails in the component? how do I make the thumbnails link to Urls and load UIs? Heres my basic code:
thumbnails_tl.addItem({source:"website-01.png"});
thumbnails_tl.addItem({source:"website-02.png"});
thumbnails_tl.addItem({source:"website-03.png"});

I have got a very simple flash timeline, on each frame is a different page of a book. There is four pages alltogether. I am trying to create 'next' buttons so that the user can flick through the book.
This is the code I have used:
stop();
btn_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler1);
function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(2);

This was created with frames in dreamweaver and the nav bar and index page movie are swf files. When you click on the pages in the nav bar it redirects to the index page. It does this the majority of the time and every now and again when you click it will go to the actual page.The way it is set up in dreamweaver, it has the nav movie in the top frame and the content in the bottom. All I did was change the old i.p address to the domain name because our host changed. I did nothing else and then this started not working correctly.I have checked and double checked all links in flash and they work from the swf but when it is loaded in the browser it does that weird linking to the index again. This is the code in flash to link to the pages:
on(release) {
getURL("http://www.fostersfreeze.com/Food.html","_top");
}
[code]....
Is there a way to link a button to a .SWF file and if not is there a way to import an .fla file into a new scene of a different .fla file and then link the button to that scene? I am kind of a beginner to actionscript but I know some basics and am willing to learn.
View 1 RepliesI'm having trouble figuring how to get the buttons to reference the correct imageBox and position the imageHolder. The imageHolder is a movieclip on the main stage and inside of that are a series of imageBoxes attached for each image. You can click on each image and the imageHolder will move and the images will enable and disable. If you click on a button the current image will fade but then return to 100% alpha. It's not completing the disableImages function.
You can view a swf of it HERE. Probably viewing it will be better than anything I can describe.
This is the actionscript for enabling and disabling images and for positioning the imageHolder: ActionScript Code:
function disableImages() {
for (i=0; i<imageTotal; i++) {
imageHolder["imageBox"+i].enabled = false;

This seems like it should be easy, but I cannot figure out how to do this in AS3. And after pouring through several books and lots of sample projects, no one quite seems to be using this method to create galleries.The goal: A gallery with circles for buttons that, when clicked, move already loaded images into view.
I have built a widget that creates the buttons and loads the images, but how do I make a connection between one dynamically created sprite(the button) and another (the corresponding image)?When adding children, is there a way to find its reference in the display object list? The buttons are named and will trace their names when clicked, but I don't see this when I'm listing the display objects.And I'm not sure how I can use these names or provide similar names for my loaded images. (My confusion is becoming evident here --or at least clouding my mind -- so I'll just leave it at that.)BTW, I have come across several tools/players that do something similar to what I want, but I'd prefer not to use someone else's controller. (It seems like the time to code this should be less than the time to skin/understand/customize someone else's FLA/SWF.)
I have created 3 invisible buttons over a graphic. Each has its own button layer and action layer. For each action layer I have used:
my_button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickHandler1);
function clickHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("
[code]....
When I test the movie I see the hand icon so I know it's an invisible button, but when I click on it, it goes out of the flash play like it wants to go to a browser, but nothing happens. When I upload the files I can see the hand icon again, but nothing happens when I click on the link. I tried the changing the .html file that it is housed in to an .htm file, but that didn't work either.
I am new to this. I have followed several tutorials with noluck. I am using action code 3. I want to link an invisible buttonto an url. I placed the code in the layer with the button.Thefollowing code I have used, but then follows the error message. Ican't figure it out.1180: Call to a possibly undefined method on.1120: Access of undefined property release1180: Call to a possibly undefined method getURL.
View 2 RepliesI am currently working on an outdoors project. You can view the website here to see what I mention below.
The problem I am running into is that I want the Yahoo, Camospace, and Myspace logos to link to their respective websites when clicked.
All of the current action scripts I have found do not work for me at all.
I am using Flash CS4 v10, action script 3.0
Im making a flash program about pancakes (random I know). I have a "Mainmenu" scene and then a "Recipe" scene. I have a button on my mainmenu which takes me to the recipe page when I click it, the code behind the button is
"stop();btn_recipe.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop(1, "Recipe"); }"
Then when I arrive at my recipe page I have a button which will take me back to my MainMenu, the code behind that button is:
"stop();btn_home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouse5DownHandler);function mouse5DownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(1, "MainMenu"); }"
So I run my program and the first button works and takes me to recipe page but the button to get to the main menu does nothing, click it and no response or anything
I have laid out the four pages that I wish and have created a button for each page on each page.I was told a simple stop script would stop the pages acting like a movie.I entered:
14:00PM
stop();
function button1_clicked(e:MouseEvent) :void{ gotoAndStop("home");}
function button2_clicked(e:MouseEvent) :void{ gotoAndStop("about");
[code]....
which I was told would accomplish this and link the buttons to the relevant pages. When I test the movie the buttons start flickering as well as the images.....
how to link moviclip to rotating buttons. the experiment button is working but do not know how to link the others.
View 1 RepliesSo I have 3 buttons. One button links to an animation, the second button links to a different animation, and the third one shows the links. The first button works properly, but when I click on the second button, it goes back to the animation that is shown at the first button. How do I fix this? Here is my code for the first button:
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,mou seDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(1, "random");
}
I have made sure that the button's instance name is button2, and that the scene name is "random".
Here is my code for the second button:
button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,mou seDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler2(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(1, "random1");
}
basically I had a situation arranged where when a button was clicked and flash would then display a certain image by jumping to a label on the timeline, and by clicking a different button a different image would be shown. this was working pretty well but for layout reasons I had to split these buttons and the timeline that they relate to up into separate movie clips. obviously the buttons dont do anything now, but what i'm hoping to find out is how I can link these items back up despite them being in separate movie clips. is this possible?
View 0 Replies1. I have very little flash experience, but have been tasked with creating a presentation.
2. I have decided that if each slide was a movie clip, it would keep my timeline tidy.
3. In the attached fla, you will see there are 2 slides, with (green squares) for buttons. The purpose of the button in the first slide is to advance to the second movieclip in the timeline and the purpose of the button in the slide2 movie clip is to go to and play the label "start" from the first movie.
However, nothing I do seemed to work. I'm hoping someone can talk me through it so I can replicate the button functions throughout the file for multiple movieclips / 'slides'
I've attached a txt file with the URL to where the .fla can be downloaded
I have made some advanced buttons and want to use then to navigate to a different frame in the site this is what have
b1.onRelease = function() {
this.gotoAndStop(10);
why my 3 pages are not being brought up when i 'ctrl enter'. I am making an online game with 3 pages - an instructions page, game screen and end game screen and do not know why my initial page is not opening.It is sending me the error message:Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.at MainClass$iinit()[code]
View 1 RepliesI am relatively new to Flash development. I have a scene that contains 3 buttons that are movie clips. I am trying to link each button to a seperate scene but no matter what script i use the buttons do not click through to the new scene.
Each scene consists of 20 frames that need to play when each button is clicked on, so rather than using gotoandstop i am trying to use gotoandplay to a specific frame within each of these scenes.
i have a movie in which i have 3 movieclips..lets call them MC1, MC2, MC3.In this movie i have 3 buttons linking to respective movieclips.but the button does not show any actionso far i have the actionscript on the button is:
on (press)

I still can not get a basic slideshow with the either thumbnails or prev/next buttons to work. It seems that every tutorial either assumes I downloaded the correct libraries or understand when they are using AS2 or AS3.point me to a "FOOL" proof tutorial or template..I understand the basic part of what is going on but do not know enough AS yet to hammer out the actions myself.
View 1 RepliesI need to make a XML Driven Photo slide in Flash CS5.It needs to have a Box that contains 5 Thumbnails(by XML) act as buttons.The Box sits on top of the Main photo area and shrinks (or close out) when user click its close button. And it opens out by clicking on a open button.I'm sure it can be done by using timeline, Tweening or you name it..But what about the Thumbnails that run from the XML file?Can they disappear with the Box and retrieve when it opens? is it possible?

View 1 RepliesIt seems that my 4 buttons aren't linking correctly or something.I'm linking with labels, like this:
Code:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("intro");
}
The links go like this: Home, Photos, About Us, Contact Us.Here's what's wrong:
1.) If I click on About Us from the homepage, it goes to Photos instead.
2.) If I click on Photos while I'm on the Photos page, it goes to some unknown frame before the photos label, and stops where I don't even have a stop placed.
I made a drop down menu following the tutorial here. My problem is that the drop down buttons don't link to the respective scenes. Their rollover states work.
When I work on the drop down menu movie clip directly from the library, the button links work.[code]...
I'm currently attempting to link buttons to other frames in the movie. I've tried tutorials and just can't seem to get my code to do what I want. The issue is that the buttons are inside a movieclip, and I'm trying to link them to frames in the main movie (Scene 1).
View 6 RepliesThe buttons in the flash movie also link to movie frames in the flash and external html pages. Once movie plays and stops, all links work fine, the links to the anchors and the links to the other html pages, however when I try and link back to the flash movie from an external html page, to specific frames in the flash movie, the html link will link back to flash movie frame fine, however once your back in the flash movie, none of the buttons in the movie work anymore.I have embedded the flash movie in an HTML and published it with anchors,"home, about, events etc.used this code for several buttons in the flash linking to frame anchors in the movie:
