ActionScript 3.0 :: Making Button Using Labels?
Dec 22, 2010
Still a newbie, I am trying to understand how labels work with buttons. So eventually, I can create a rollover effect and have a button on a menu either glow or have an effect.
So far just testing how labels work, I have made a movieclip with labels in it. Then made a test button to try to trigger movement from label to label. Nothing works. The movie clip simply runs over and over again.I have tried some tutorials, but using their as, still does not work.

I'm using a CartesianChart with a DateTimeAxis to display weekly data in a Flex application.When I set dataUnits="weeks" and labelUnits="weeks" on the DateTimeAxis, it automatically places each major tick on a Sunday. However, I would like to provide users with the option of beginning the week on a Sunday or a Monday. How can I ask the DateTimeAxis to instead place the major ticks on a Monday (or some other day of week)?For example, if the user is looking at total sum of something over the week, and requests that weeks start on a Sunday, the Series data would look like:
x: Date(July 11, 2010) y: 25
x: Date(July 18, 2010) y: 30
x: Date(July 25, 2010) y: 32

I've been looking at this for four days and not getting to a solution. I've got an xml file with patent data, and a .fla that needs to populate a dynamic array of buttons. I've got a trace statement that shows that the xml is loading, and the first button appears, so I know the linkage and naming are correct. But for some reason I don't understand the button labels don't populate with the xml data.

I've taken the "Keyboard Key Button" from the [Common Libraries > Buttons], copied the letter one several times on the stage, and am now trying to relabel the buttons so that they show the right letters via an Array.Here's what I have written thus far:
Code:
keyLabels = [0, "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N", "O", "P", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U", "V", "W", "X", "Y", "Z", "ENTER"];

I would like to create a custom Button component with three labels: left-, center-, and right-justified. I can't just use the label justification property, because I want to use all 3 labels at the same time.
I'm familiar with creating custom components, but I've never tried to build one quite like this before...
Here's what I have so far:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Button
xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
[Code]....
The labels won't change after the button is created, so I'm not worried about the missing [Bindable] metadata.
I'm stuck right now, getting the following compiler error:
Multiple initializer values for default property, 'label', of type 'String'.
...for each of the 3 <s:Label> lines.
Based on this answer to a similar question, I tried adding label="" to my <s:Button> declaration, but that just adds another error.

getting 3 errors on this code. They all are 1119:Access of possibly undefined proper *whatever* through a reference with static type myBtn.The button is the library is called myBtn and it is linked to the myBtn class. I think the problem lies in the textbox label on the button. I am not sure how to access that label with actionscript 3.0 or how to get the label to display a unique label for each of the children.

I am trying to work something out, but I am not really good in scripting so I can't figure out how to write the code properly.The situation is a bit complex:I have one frame labeled "street". From "street" you can enter another page labeled "underground" when you press a button. In "underground" there's a button "exitU_btn" that brings you back to "street".So far this wasn't a problem. Now I have another page labeled "F2016" from which you can enter "underground",too, but this time when pressing "exitU_btn" I don't want it to return to "street" but return to "F2016".Means the button should know the label I am coming from and returning to this one.I started to write a bit code for that with if statements, but don't know how exaxtly to write it.
Code:
var enter2016: Boolean = false;
/*should decide where I am coming from, which label (I guess this is what has to be defined somehow)*/
stop();[code]........
I thought I need a boolean to check if my situation is right, but I don't know how to code it right.

I can run the code below, where the answers are dynamic text boxes hovering over the buttons. However, the user can't click the button where the textbox overlaps it. I need a way to either assign button labels like the 4 text boxes below or make it so the textboxes do not interfere with clicking the button?
var myXML:XML = new XML();
var XML_URL:String = "http://localhost/connect.php";
var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(XML_URL);
[Code]....
Update: I found the following to change the label, however I am confused as how I do this to buttons I have already created, perhaps using the instance name?
var myButton:Button = new Button();
myButton.label = "Click me";

I've got some code that draws a series of buttons. I'd like to label the buttons with an array that's in an external text file. I've got this:
var patNumsArray:Array = new Array();
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.onLoad = function(){

But I can't seem to get it to see the text file with the button names.

I'm trying to do is use the "page up" button to navigate to different labels on the timeline. The problem is that the labels are in different scenes (for example label_5 is in Scene 3). So each time I go to a label outside the scene, I get an error message.
var myLabels:Array = [ "label_1", "label_2", "label_3", "label_4", "label_5"];
var nextLabel:String;
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyPressed);

it seemed like a simple process but I cant seem to get this right... I got a button there, but the URL wont go, ie, the click does nothing.I imported a PSD layered image to Flash CS3, into a new blank layer. I need basically an area of this PSD to be "image mapped" so what I did was create a rectangle with the rect tool, over the area I needed the hot spot.Here I tried to do a transparent box and border (alpha 0) but the outline is still there even though the box is "empty." I did select the transparent box, no color, and tried alpha, both same result)I made that into a symbol, then I double clicked into there to fill in the key pts for the over, hit, etc., states.... I dont have any effects here btw, as simple as we can get.After that I right clicked on the buttonand entered the action script ("reserve" is the name of my button symbol)
reserve.onRelease=function(){
getURL("http://www.redeggnyc.com/menu2.htm");

I have made a button to function like a switch in that it has both an on and off state. However, I can only get it to switch between the on and off state once when it's pressed, with nothing happening after it has been turned off.The code is as follows:
Code:
switch1.onPress = function() {
switch1.gotoAndStop("on");
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
[code]....
is there a way to make it so that the switch works continuously, not just one time?

I'm very new at Flash and while Ive picked up the basics of tweening and creating animations. I'm trying to create an image of a post it note that is revelaed via a mask when a user rolls over a seperate image. I have created the animation of the mask and it revelas the note fine. My question is how do I create an invisible button and code it in action script so when I roll over image 1 my mask tween begins playing to reveal the post it.

I'm currently building a small search banner which comprises of three fields and a search button.
The banner works great and all the fields respond well however if I use the tab key on the keyboard to move from one field to the next the search button becomes highlighted.
At this point my keydown Enter causes the button to not function as a release but instead takes my file to another portion that is reserved for button B rollover functionality.
Is there anyway I can make sure that by hitting the tab key after the last field will take the user back to the first field?

I'm jew to Flash and I'm trying to make an animated button in Flash CS5 that has the ability to turn music on/off. I've followed different tutorials, and right now I'm trying to use an animated movie clip with an "invisible" button over it. I want the animation to swap frames when the button is clicked, and I also want the music to toggle on/off when the button is clicked.For example:When the button is pressed, the animation switches to say "press to turn off music" and the music turns on.But so far, the button isn't working, and the animation won't stop switching frames even when I enter the "stop();" code.Does anyone have any idea how to make it so that the button works together with the animation and music?

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.
