ActionScript 3.0 :: Multi-clickable Button - Goto A Specific Shape Tween Each Time It Is Clicked
Nov 18, 2009
I'm working on making a nitrogen tank that inflates a balloon a little bit more every time you click the tank. How do you set it up to go to a specific shape tween each time it is clicked, and then have it stop and make a reset button appear?
my movieclip button was working perfectly as a motion tween. Can you use shape tweens as movie clip buttons? I just made that change, and kept my code:
i need to know if there's a way to lock button symbols in a specific state once users click them? i have a series of 34 buttons, and they all contain an animated movieclip in their "over" state. problem is when i click on one, they play the "over" state very briefly again before my event happens, and it looks funky. any way to make it so once u click it, it stays in "down" state? i know using movieclips instead of buttons will resolve the problem but i'd like to know if there's a way to do it without converting them all to movieclips,
How would I do this in AS3? I want to call a function and run it with specific properties depending on which button is clicked.So how do the "_this" statement work in as3? in as2 I would write something like this and "this" would stand for the instance name:
I have many buttons in a few movie files, i need to select a few of these buttons and store them in an array so i use....
var twocolourbuttons:Array = ["mybutton1", "mybutton23", "mybutton34"];
I then need to show a movie file if the button that has been clicked on is in the array. so something like...
if e.target.name is in the array show the movie twocolor.visible = true;
i then need to go to a certain frame of the movie, depending upon where the button is found in the array. So if the button is at position three of the array, i need to jump to keyframe 3 of my movie.
I'm trying to create a simple game. Right now I have one button that when clicked moves the character across the screen. My issue is trying to make the player stop looping after I click the button. If I just insert stop for the last frame it will only loop once and stop, but it will not play again after the button is clicked. I've tried using players_turn boolean but couldn't get that to work.
I'm creating a game where certain movie clips execute a motion tween when a button is clicked, and stay still when not clicked. I know that this sequence would probably use coding such as if...button pressed execute movie clip/else...
But I'm not sure how to code it. Also is it better to have the motion tweens as a nested animation in each movie clip, or should I just create the tweens on the main stage. And if I make them nexted animations how do you say in a function to play the nested animation?
ActionScript Code: package { import flash.display.MovieClip; public class Base extends MovieClip { public var baseHP:int = 50; var newRect:Shape = new Shape();
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Shape. 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Shape. What does it mean by "undefined method"? I am somewhat of a newby, so sorry if there are any stupid errors
I want to pause my timeline until a button is pressed on the mouse. i want it to work like a powerpoint presentation would. i know how to pause the timeline for x amount of seconds but i want to be able to pause the timeline until the user is ready to continue with the next section.
the application i am building is for kids to teach them about writing skills and the section i want to pause it on is where the kids will be asked to complete a task before the next section is played. the next section will be how they should have answered the last section.
I have a mc inside a frame on the main time line. a button on the main time line. i want to play the movie each time the button is clicked. another situation is i hv loaded a movie using loadMovie command. i want to play it again. currently i m using unloadMovie & loadMovie in succession. is there any other way of doing it...
Normally, I want the movie to play the tween that spans from 25 to 35, then stop UNLESS a button has been clicked back on frame 24 - then I want the tween played from 25 to 35 then jump to 46.Problem is, in the button function code, if I have...gotoAndPlay(25); gotoAndPlay(46);the timeline jumps straight to 46 - it doesn't play 25-35. Why?I tried putting a timer in between the two gotoAndPlays, but itignored that too and jumped to 46.o how do I tell it - 'play from 25-35 and stop, unless but_a was pressed back on Frame 24 - then play 25-35, and then play 46' ?
I am looking for a quick and easy way to store variables in a text file, rather than use amfphp to connect to a database all I need to do is increment values every time a button is clicked. Would be better if all the vars were in the same text file but if I have to have one per var that would be ok.
I will have three seperate pages for the motion tween, mask effect and shape tween... would you make the seperately, in a different scene, as a symbol or on the same scene with the website.
I am facing a problem in one of my animation with flash CS4 - I have nested a Shape Tween in a Motion tween to get more control over the easers and effects, unfortunately I am not able to view on the timeline of my Motion Tween the action of the Shape tween nested inside.
It only show the first shape of the Shape Tween during the entire Motion Tween and that is really a problem for me because I need to see the final frame result of that Shape tween to be able to position it in a precise way on my scene according to other instances.
how do i make a button trigger a movie clip that targets specific coords? I'm building a map and when a button is click it goes to a defined point. right now it jumps to the coords, but i'd much rather it smoothly move instead. the other thing is that i would like it to move from whatever point it is currently at.
Baisically I've created a button using symbol and I want the button to move a movie clip up the y axis by 4 every time it is clicked (move the movie.) I really don't know how to do this. This is what I currently have but its not ActionScript:
I am trying to create a jeopardy like game for my classroom. I have each of the questions on the stage with an eventListener on each one. This eventListener listener calls a function. My problem is trying to have the function go to a different frame according to which question is clicked.
I am getting better at Flash 8, but I have a problem. I am in a Movie Clip, and when you press 'g' it returns you to the first scene, and I want it to go to the second scene. on(keyPress "g"){ _parent.gotoAndStop("Scene 2",7); } Is there a way you can do that?
i have, i have a problem with my code.i have a mc (button) that when you click on it should go to a specific frame (the option clicked) and then charge a movie.the button (mc) ist created by a duplicatemoviehere is the code
I have an intropage with two mc buttons that resides in another mc. They are for an English and a Dutch part. So when I click on either one of them, they go to the "Home" label (frame 2). But now at the same time when the main timeline goes to "Home" I want the movieclip container that contains 6 buttons (The English or Dutch ones) to be visible false or true when I click on one or the other. As a part of the code will show some of you there must be an 1119 error that I can't figure out. It has to do with the FrameLabel that is supposedly undifined. [code]If i remove the if statement and just put the visible statement that also gives an error.But maybe the conflict could be that btnTxtFrameN_mc nor btnTxtFrameE_mc exist on the first frame where I wrote the code and only appear as from label "Home" (second frame)
I need some actionscript which I can put into a movie and when that movie gets to a certain date i.e. my birthday the file redirects to my website. I would like the movie to always redirect to my site, even when that date has passed.
I have a time line with 2 frames only. On frame 1 I have a Movie Clip that contains a gallery and its called "gal1" on frame 2 I have another Movie clip called "gal2". Now I have 2 buttons to call each of these galleries which this code in them[code]...
But when I am in gal1 and I want to click on the second botton to call gal2 with the same exact code attached to button2, it doesn't work!
I'm making a training video and right now I have a container swf that loads external swf's In the container swf there is about 3 frames in the beginning and on the fourth frame you choose the section you want to go to next. The sections are just external swf's. To load the section / external swf I'm using:
I need to make a function (inside Flash) that will let a swf find out what date it is (each time it is loaded from a server) and then - according to the date - display a frame designated to that date. Optionally, I could have the swf load another swf based on the date.Originally I had planned to make some php wrap-around that would do the loading of different swf's for me - but this is not an option since the swf may soon be uploaded to a server that I cannot feed with php-documents (I don't get access for that - swf only!)So now I must find a way to do this within the swf. But as of right now I am clueless.
One thing I did learn during my googling the past many hours is that the "Date class" in Actionscript is risky - in that it 'reads' what date the end user has on his/her machine. So in the event that some user has the date misconfigured that will screw up what my swf will display.Therefore I am hoping that I could somehow do a variation of php's "echo date" and get the date from the server - but inside Flash. And then have that bit of data call for a certain frame/scene/loaded swf.
