View 3 RepliesI have a button inside a movie clip that when pressed it launches another movie clip. That part works great. The problem I'm having now is either removing the original movie clip or at the very least making it invisible when the next movie launches. So far for my button script this is what I have:
onRollOver=function(){
this.gotoAndPlay("_over");
};
onRollOut=function(){
[code]...
I have a movie into which I am loading external swfs. this all works fine but some of the content is duplicated and where there is slimline text it shows that there are two layers. see the header on white here:
how can i set the alpha to 0 or remove the host movieclip, from the externally loaded swf. does that make sense? so once the external swf has loaded into the empty movieclip then the parent movie disappears.
Does any one know how to make a movieclip invisible so I can use it as an invisible button?
View 3 Repliesi have an issue with a flash tweening project i am working on..I am using flash tweening and i have an invisible button inside a movie clip, and i have actionscript for the invisible button.. but when i click on the button, nothing happens..
View 1 RepliesI've got a basic little slide show player which is timeline-based, rolling through 5 images with alpha transitions, and on the topmost layer, I have 5 invisible movie clips which have actions applied to them as follows:
on (press) { gotoAndPlay(21);}
This action should allow for the on click button to navigate to that specific frame, or image, but for some reason it is not working.
What action script would i need to make a button in one movie clip goto and play a frame in another movie clip? Im not very good at flash but i've been trying my usual codes but it dont work..
View 2 RepliesI have one button instance that stretches across many frames, and I would like to make it invisible in some of the frames and visible in others. How do I do this with ActionScript 3?
View 1 RepliesIm a bit a of a noob when it comes to AS. I have a problem that I think should be very easy to solve.
I have a shape that I turned into a button and gave it an instance name of "CA" I also have an array that has a string item called "CA"
I want to be able to make the button invisible by using the array instead of just writing the instance name. I have the following code but it just doesnt work.

I've built an image scroller but I'd like to make the 'next' and 'previous' buttons invisible at the first and last frames frames respectively. The code I'm using for the scroll is below. I think the code I'm after should be something like this:
HTML Code:
if (targetX<720) {
btn_Previous.visible = false;
}
But I can't work out where I should put it (or even if it's correct) within the scroller code.

I am making a movie clip that acts a button. I am pretty much using the good old on{rollover} gotoandStop(2)Well is there any way i can make it so my onRollOver effect finishes before my onRollOut effect occurs (like if a ball bounces when I roll over it, can I make it so it finishes bouncing even though i rolloff before the animation ends, and then triggers the onRollOut effect?)
View 2 RepliesI am just trying to make a button disappear using a variable set to it's instance name. When I say invisible I also mean deactivated. The code I've got is this..
Code:
[test]_visible = false;
but it doesn't work - any offers?
Is it possible to tween the up and over state of a button without making it a movie clip? I just have a button that inverts its bg and text color on over, and I'd like to tween that in the simplest way possible.
View 0 RepliesI have a button, labeled "Main1," in a scene, "Main." When I click said button, I want an animation to start. Said animation is a movie clip named "ArrowAnim."Now, I have done something similar before in another project, using a code which I thought would have worked with this movie clip as well. The code I used before (and which worked flawlessly) was:
Code:
on(release)
{
[code]......
created a scene with randomly moving movie clips using:
onClipEvent (load) {
//data you may want to change
xstart = 0;
[Code]....
Inside these movie clips I have a button that I would like to make open a pop-up window. I have tried using the code from tutorial [URL]
i have a few buttons that use loadmovienum to load a few clips into levels. The code on each button is something similar to:
on(release){ loadMovieNum("print_index.swf",1);printbutton._visible = false;webbutton._visible = false;illusbutton._visible = false;threedbutton._visible = false;retouchbutton._visible = false;}
But because the print_index movie slowly scrolls across the stage rather than immediately replace it, there is a moment where the button turns completely invisible after the click. Perhaps the bigger problem is that it doesnt make any of the accompanying buttons invisible like it is supposed to- only the one that is clicked.
I know this sounds stupid, but I've worked like all the time with Flash 2004 and Flash MX. Now I got CS3, and I want to do the following. I made a MP3 player, but I want to make a 'play' icon visible when the music plays and the 'pause' icon visible when it's paused. Therefor the 'play' icon needs to be invisible,

Since I animated the movie clip(mc), I no longer see each MC and there are multiple of them. How do I select one MC and drill down to modify some animation?
View 5 RepliesI have a moviclip thats visibility is controlled by a button, but I need the mc to start invisible instead of visible.
View 3 RepliesI am looking for ActionScript 2 code that makes a movie clip disappear when a user moves their mouse over a particular area and then have the movie clip reappear when the mouse leaves that area.
ie. if the mouse is within _x.50 , _x.200, _y.50 , and _y.200 the mc is invisible, else its visible.
I think it would be some kind of "if" statement but I don't know syntax on how to code this.
I have two movie clips on top of each other. The one underneath is a button and the first movieclip is not always no top of it so everything is fine, the bottom one listens for Clicks and Mouse.ROLL_OVER just fine. However whenever the first movie clip moves and happens to stop overtop the button, that is where the problems begin.
Is there any way for me to make the movie clip on top somehow cause the ROLL_OVER to get through to the underlying movie clip as well as the clicks?
This is a very simple thing I want to do: show informational popups when an area of the screen is rolled over. I was able to get this working in action script 3 with MouseEventListener and the visible =true/false property but can't seem to get it working correctly in AS2.
View 2 RepliesCan we make something, ie a close button, that onRelease will close the parent Movieclip, regardless of the name of that parent? I'm going to need a lot of close buttons, and I don't like the idea of coding each to close the relevant MC. I've done a bit of experimenting, but not had any luck yet.
View 2 RepliesI have an image of a target on stage, that moves left and right. In the center of the image is an invisible button, occupying the centre circle of the target. The idea is you click the invisible button on the moving target and this starts another movie playing. Seems to me the action script should reside in the button, and be something like this:
on(release){
targetPath(this.movie2);
play();
}
I have created a flash website, each button is a movie clip with an invisible button over it containing the following script
on (rollOver) {
_root.mouse_over_profile_btn = true;
}
on (rollOut) {
[Code]....
each page is also a movie clip and on release of a button its played. the problem is that when i press another button to play another movie clip 'page' the old content is still there.
Is there a way of reversing the page transition i have used to bring out the movie clip and then bring in the next movie clip.
Making a Comic book/Video game with Flash Action Script 2.0. Check out my blog ive uploaded a couple of demos on it.Anyways i want to make a movie clip appear on stage when the user finds a key. The movie clip would be used as a trigger to send the player into an other version of the second level where a door would now be unlockable (only if he has the key).I know how to make the hittest work its making the movie clip appear on stage with an action that is giving me problemes.
View 2 RepliesI have several different movie clip components in a flash file that I need to hyperlink to different addresses. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to add a url to these objects.
edit: I should add that I see an invisible button as being one solution.
I created a simple slideshow type thing that involves two buttons that allow a user to go left or right to view additional pictures. All of the pictures are stored in a single movieclip.When the buttons are clicked it just changes the x value of the movie clip.Everything works perfectly.Currently when it reaches the last picture (the very end of the movie clip) it scrolls back to the beginning. But I have to change it so that it appears to loop... Basically creating another instance of the movie clip on the fly.how to do it?And here's a snippet of the code to give you an idea:A few notes... photo_mc is the movie clip that moves around (and stores all the pics)All the actionscript is in the first frame.btn_left & btn_right are the buttons
Code:
final_x=225 ;
speed =3.5;

View 3 RepliesMaking a movieclip move to a frame label.
Ok, I have my main movie, with a movieclip on layer2. The movieclip is named slideclip.
In slideclip I have two frame labels (open, and slide).
When I click on a button in scene1 ( My main movie) I want Movieclip Slide to move to frame label "slide".
How can I make a movie clip move to a certain frame?
