I'm trying to load a movieclip into my scene when the viewer clicks on an invisible_btn the instance name of the btn is "invisible_btn" and the name of the movieclip is "Symbol1."
How can I get my movieclip to run once the invisible_btn is clicked?
So I have an animation I'm working on, its dialog driven and I want a vertical menu of questions the viewer clicks on. When its clicked it plays a specific sequence of animation, that part I have covered. Depending on the question clicked however, I want the menu to update with follow up questions.
-several menu items need to open up new menu items.
-the new menu items appear beneath the previous item.
-each new menu item needs to highlight text.
-each used menu item needs to dim text.
I'm mostly a script kiddy, I find stuff similar to what I need and take it apart and rebuild it to my needs. But I haven't found anything of this sort. The closest thing I have is creating a menu with an array.
I thought to assign the initial array values to questions as they would appear on a complete list. The idea is at the end of a string of dialog to run a check on a specific array value, if it comes up false, create that value and hence the new menu item is in it's proper place on the list (including appropriate highlight/dim text color). The problem is that when I run a trace I get a bunch of undefined values in-between. I don't want a menu with "undefined" text labels/buttons, is there a way to run a check for undefined during the menu loop and tell it to skip to the next value?
is this the best way to handle this project? I'd rather not create a complex movie clip of every possible menu configuration and run a ton of value checks with goto frames.
I am trying to acomplish a very simple task with AS 3 with no results. I have a simple time line with a stop button. All I want to do is to stop the play head wherever the viewer clicks the button, and then to start again from there when the button is clicked again.
View 4 RepliesI wanted to create a portfolio in flash, so I designed the layout in photoshop, with different webpages in different groups. So groups i created: home, about, porfolio, contact, affiliates, topbar, menu.I use Creative Suite 3 or CS3I then imported the groups into flash as movieclips, using the import to stage function. here is the image of the main scene in the flash. (SEE IMAGE 1st thumbnail)I created a new layer on top of all the layers and used labels at equal intervals to differentiate between pages.here's the image depicting the same.(SEE IMAGE 2nd thumbnail)Now in the home movie clip, i made all the text layers as movie clips to make button animations and assigned sounds and actions to them i.e. rollver, rollout andclick events. here's the swf.(PM ME FOR SWF)I want to know the code or method to load the frame labelled ''about'' in the main scene when i click on the movieclip button 'about' which is in the movieclip 'home'. Here's the code i tried for the first 'about' button, but it returns error "1120: Access of undefined property event."
code:

var OverSound:roll_over = new roll_over();

is at all possible to load a movie at a particular scene rather than it launching into the first scene automatically? Or is this impossible?

View 1 RepliesIn Kirupa's tutorial, Adding Thumbnails, when an image is loaded in the thumbnail viewer, you are able to click on it and load an external page. I've been searching for a while, but I am unable to figure out how to accomplish this.
View 3 RepliesI have a movieclip (mstone) depicting a signpost, which is within another movieclip (graphic1). I am trying to scale mstone to increase by about 44%, and it needs to move along the screen in such as manner that it is moving towards the user. Some how the scale and the x,y coordinates I am providing don't seem to reflect the same way as it normally would, when I see the website live.
Is there a smooth way to move the clip, without specifying particular x,y co-ordinates?? I am using the _xscale, _yscale, _x and _y properties. Not producing the desired effect.
what's the actionscript that i could add to my movieclip that will bookmark my site in viewer's favorites?

I am building a flash application using flex. From time to time, I see an issue in IE 7 and 8 where the user logs into the site and the browser content pane is completely grey and the entire page (html, javascript and flash) won't load until the user clicks the X (Stop) button next the address bar. As soon as the X is clicked, the html loads and then the swf file loads immediately.
This doesn't happen for me or any other developers on the project so it is very hard to diagnose. The users are all using the latest flash player. The only difference between our setups that I can think of is that we have the debug version of flash player and they probably do not.
ive made a button in the scene 1 which i have managed to navigate to scene 2 but when i click the button it goes to scene 2 but displays everthing that is in scene 1 in scene 2, how can sort this out so upon the button click in scene 1 it goes to scene 2 and only display content in scene2.

I have a fairly complex form page and there's one MovieClip that's misbehaving. It's quite a bit of code so I'm having trouble locating where it's being generated from because the page is fairly dynamic.I'm looking for a sort of MovieClip.prototype-esque way of trace()ing the name of any clip that's clicked in a global fashion. Thus when I click and the misbehaving movieclip is firing off I can figure out who/what it is.
I find that when I override the prototype of any part of MovieClip that it renders other elements unusable. For example I tried to just override onReleaseOutside temporarily to see if I could get the clips name but it also disabled onPress, onRelease, etc and everything stopped working.

I'm in the process of planning out my web portfolio website. The situation at hand right now is learning how to do a zoom tween via actionscript. I want to learn more actionscript tweens and get away from tweening using keyframes/frames - as this creates Huge file sizes. So I'm trying to be more efficent and keep file sizes down. Basic idea is I have a background image with 3keypoints (movieClips) that the user can click on. Once you click on these the camera will zoom and pin-point whatever movieClip has been selected.
Here's what I've been able to see so far. By applying this script to each separate movieClip it zooms in on the image or particular part of that image correct? How would I modify this so that it zooms when the user clicks the appropriate movieClip. I got this from from here and I have also seen and read the Kirupa Tutorial about the starfield/racecar game etc. But it doesn't sink in without examples right in front of my face. And to reverse the zoom when the user wants to (un)zoom back out would I switch the
_xscale = _yscale += speed;
to
_xscale = _yscale -= speed; ??
onClipEvent (load) {
speed = 2; //speed of the zoom
} onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_xscale = _yscale += speed;
//does the zoom
_x -= 1;
_y += 2.5;
//this moves the movieClip down and to the left so it leaves the screen entirely
}
How can I get a button inside a movieclip link to a frame in another movieclip on the scene? I tried this code:
function gotoCenter(event:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(root).centermc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
skruetest.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoCenter);
..where "skruetest" is the button, "centermc" is the movieclip where I want to go to frame 2. I don�t get errors with this code, but nothing happens when I click the button. What can I do?
I've been working on a mini-mouse maze in as2, placed in a movie clip called "mouse1". On frame one is the start button, and on two is the maze and finish button. So what I'm asking: is there a way to make the movieclip return to frame one when the player right clicks? I know this code, that makes it trace something but I cant use it to navigate.[code]

I am trying to create a flash viewer, which will load various other flash movies. The viewer will be in the root directory, but the flash movies it will load are a few directories deep. Those movies access various sound clips that are in an audio directory relative to each swf I want to load.[code]It seems that when I load one of these movies into my viewer, the loaded movie is looking for the sounds in an audio folder in the root directory, and not relative to the swf I loaded. Is there a way to set this? I would rather not have to make the changes in each of my other movies to use the absolute path.[code]
View 2 RepliesI have a movieClip that a user can click on to hide/show a different movieClip (for this example, lets say its a circle). I have an 'onPress' on that movieClip that tells it go and play the next frame inside itself movieclip (there are two frames which just have different graphics to represent off/on) and also the line of code to hide the other movieClip.
The problem is that if a user clicks on the movieClip to hide the circle and then keeps their mouse in the exact same position and tries to click again to show the circle, nothing happens... they have to move the mouse at least a little bit before it will recognize it is being clicked again. The same thing happens with buttons I have that scroll the page... which is extremely annoying since you can't just click the same spot multiple times, you have to move your mouse a bit and then click again.
I am working with a project that has many scenes. Each scene has a movie clip attached to it. The first scene is simple...just a couple of buttons and that is it. My worry is that when I add all of the videos that correspond with each button and publish the SWF will be a huge file. THE QUESTION: Does flash load ALL scenes of a movie or does it load the first scene and then load the other scenes when the user needs to view them?
My ultimate goal is to just have the first scene load and then when the user clicks on the buttons contained within that scene that only upon release does the corresponding scene load. Maybe I am doing this completely wrong and should look at doing it another way.
I have a button which i'm trying to load a new scene but have no idea how to link it !
