how to make a button stay in the down position in CS3, Actionscript 3.0?
I have 3 buttons, each with the same roll over state. What I'd like to do is when the button is clicked, it remains in the roll over state until something else happens.
i am working on a flash project i want to make the clicked button stay on the rollover state in the movie
see the fla file, i am using flash 8 pro
i was thinking to make frame by frame but i have many many buttons
I have a menu with button objects in As3. I want to display the page where user is and for this I must show buttons' over state (which is mc) when flash loads. I'm sending the page parameter to flash. I just need to play the movie clip inside the specific button. Looking for something like:
btn1.m1.gotoAndPlay(1); or btn1.m1.play();
I'm working on a Flash project using ActionScript 3.
Our interface switches between different modes by adding and removing the direct children of the main stage--we call these scenes.
The problem I've encountered is this: One of these scenes has a SimpleButton (flash.display.SimpleButton) with distinct up and over states. When I mouseover a button, it goes to the over state as expected. But if the application automatically switches to a new scene (in this case, a video finishes and the app moves on) and then the user navigates back (causing the original scene to be re-added), the button stays in the over state until I mouse back in and then out again. I'd like to be able to force that button back into its up state.
I've tried setting b.overState = b.upState, but then there's no appearance change on subsequent rollovers. I've also tried dispatching a ROLL_OUT event to the button object, but that doesn't do anything either.
other than implementing something from scratch that exposes a way to force a state change?
I am looking for a way to trigger the downState of my SimpleButton using my KEY_DOWN event. I am hoping there is a way to do this without having to switch this to a MovieClip custom button.

The actionButton is my SimpleButton. I have tried dispatcing the CLICK event and MOUSE_DOWN event but neither has worked.
I am a beginner, using flash cs4. I am trying to work with my elder brother in his project, he is developing a website. Actually I want to make a button that stays in down state when released.
View 5 RepliesI have a flash map that contains 51 movieClips, one for each state.Sample instanceName for a state (Alabama) would be: S_01
I have a XML record that contains specific info for each state.<stateID>01</stateID
I am trying to link the stateID's in the XML record to the state movieClips that make up the map.var stateInstanceName = 'S_' + stateID;
I was just trying to do a simple trace command to see if I could pull the _width of each state clip to see if I was linked up:
trace(mapInstance.stateInstanceName._width)
I am trying to get converted to Actionscript 3 from AS2.In old versions of flash, you simply placed the sound in a keyframe inside the button on the over or down state. Worked fine, but not anymore.I guess the sound must be set up with actionscript and a listener.I understand linkage. how to make one sound on the over state and a different one on the down state?
View 4 Replieshow to keep a Movieclip Btn 'Over State' to stay in the over position until another button is clicked?
View 1 RepliesI have this Movie Clip Drop-Down Menu, which has a button inside (Overview) that turns red when you roll over it ... When the Drop-Down Menus sub-buttons are clicked, the movie jumps to a frame labeled "WhoWeAre" or "OurMission"... When it lands on either frame, I want the word "Overview" to remain red, indicating that you are now in that section.
Can actionscript be written so that the "Over" state inside a button remains on once it reaches a new frame? I currently achieved this with a dirty hack, creating an ADDITIONAL menu with just the word "Overview" in red on the "Up" state, but it screws things up and the sub-buttons don't work once I reach either of the new frames for some reason.

Here is my page: [URL] I want to be able to click the top pulldown and have it stay until i click anywhere again. Currently it is just a mouseover. I can't seem to figure out how to make this happen. I've tried the different states but no luck. If i wanted to make the moviego back up when clicked again, do i need to make a separate movieclip with the reverse animation and another layer in my button?
View 6 RepliesI have a menu with five nav buttons (atcually MovieClips). Each has three frame labels: "on", "stay", and "off". The rollover and rollout animations play flawlessly, but I'm at a loss as to how to give each button a sticky "active" state. I'd like the button to stay in it's active state until another button is clicked, then I would like it to play it's "off" animation. Each MC has this code:
[Code]...
I have two buttons assigned like this:
buttonprev.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, image_previous);
buttonnext.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, image_next);
These events fire a function which looks like this: loader.load(new URLRequest(getPath()));
My other code is:
loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT,initHandler);

If my picture takes up the area where the buttons are, the buttons slip underneath the image. How can I make the buttons stay on top all the time? My movie works fine as long as the picture that I load from a nearby directory does not cover the buttons..
I am working on an interactive site to design necklaces. I have hit areas where the jewels (they are movie clips) can be placed. How do I get the movie clips (jewels) that are in the hit areas to stay and the ones that are still in "drawer" to choose from to disappear when I go on to the next step?
View 3 RepliesThis is hard to explain. Basically the user needs to choose their sex and type in their name then press the continue button. The gender selection is a bathroom identificationesque picture of a girl and boy. The boy is blue and the girl is pink. When you roll over the boy, it becomes a lighter blue and when you roll over the girl it becomes a lighter boy.
What I don't know how to do is that when you click on the boy, it stays a lighter blue, and lighter pink for the girl. That way they can see what selection they made. Also, when you click the boy then click the girl, the girl will become highlighted and the boy no longer will be (so you can only choose one gender). How do I do this? And how do I tell the program to store the info for later use? (when gender is important). I know that this type of action is used often in games so hopefully someone can help me.
how to make the button stay in different color after it view the image on the stage? I know how to create a button but it just only change the color when I move my mouse over but after I move out then it will change back into the previous color...
View 4 RepliesSomeone has created a map where there are little colored buttons over building locationsThe buttons were made so that when you hover your cursor over them, they will bring up a little chat bubble (like the ones you see in comics) with the appropriate street address text. What I cannot figure out is how to, after removing the cursor from over a button, make the text bubble stay put so that those who see the map can highlight then copy and paste the street address from it.
View 4 RepliesI'm using a really simple bit of code on some fading in/out buttons which overlap each other slightly to ensure that the one with the cursor resting over it sits in front of the others:[code]problem being that this brings the button in front of everything across all layers. How do I change my swapdepths to make sure the layers above the buttons STAY above? - or do I need to add something to the other layers to give them a fixed 'depth'?

View 1 RepliesI'm currently working on a game that has multiple 'scenes' located on each frame. In one scene, if you click on an object it disappears. I did this using the visible = false method. However, anytime you return the scene after, the object is visible again. How would I write the code so that it stays invisible permanently when you click it, regardless of whether or not you leave and later return to the scene?
