i have event listeners on main timeline for some buttons on frame 1 of a nested movie clipand they compile fine and work fine--and then I have event listeners for some buttons on frame 2 of the same mc and they get error 1009 as if the instances do not exist---allinstances are named and spelling has been checked and rechecked--I am doing somthing rong
View 2 RepliesJust finally making the transition from AS2 to AS3.All i need to do at this point is make two buttons which will control the movie to goto next frame and previous frame. I have gotten how to make the buttons go to a specified frame number and also a button to go to a specified external url but no success in making a simple next/previous pair of buttons.

MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,

I've got a movieclip acting as a button. Code on the button itself handles roll-over/-out states, and I define an onRelease function in the main timeline as follows:
[Code]...
This code takes the movie back to the first frame and works on the third frame. For some reason, though, the same code on the fifth frame has no effect. The button doesn't do anything. I have tried using the same button, I tried inserting a new keyframe with a new button, renaming the button, etc. and for some reason I just can't get it to work on the fifth frame. If it helps to visualize, I am essentially making a menu. The first frame contains buttons to take you to submenus, located on following slides. This button to go back to the original menu is on each frame with a submenu, but for some reason only works on one of them.
Where can I find step by step instructions for creating next frame and previous frame buttons with Flash CS4?
View 3 RepliesI need to stop at frame 720 and gotoandplay frame 227 without clicking buttons.
View 2 RepliesI have got a very simple flash timeline, on each frame is a different page of a book. There is four pages alltogether. I am trying to create 'next' buttons so that the user can flick through the book.
This is the code I have used:
stop();
btn_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler1);
function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(2);

so i have a simple project where I have my actions script on each button itself.I'd like to have one actionscript file on the main timeline controlling everything instead of having to drill down to change the AS for a button.I have two scenes. Scene none has a button forcing to scene 2. When i put code on main timeline it broke my button that is on Scene 2 that allows me to jump around in that timeline to different frame labels.[code]
View 3 RepliesI have a button on frame1 that when clicked, takes you to frame2. On that frame 2 there are two more buttons; one takes you back to frame 1 and the other takes you to frame 3. On frame three there is a button that takes you back to frame 1.
If you are on frame 2 and go back to frame 1, one of the buttons on frame one disappears. If you are on frame 3 and go back to frame 1 a different button disappears.[code]...
I have 3 frames and 3 buttons. Each button takes you to their respected frame. However, I noticed that I cannot have 1 key frame of actionsript read the same on those 3 frames. Why? because if I jump from frame 1 to frame 2 or 3, then I cannot jump back. Instead, each frame has to have it's own actionscript. The only thing that would change is the method name. I find it tedious. Is that how it is? This almost felt seem like it would be less tedious but even for 3 frames, I have to change each method name as I build more frames to navigate to. Check my example below:

I have a flash movie with a kind of intro to enter the website. I need a script to navigate to a new url when the animation reach the frame 500. I don't have any buttons. I am saying that cause I already know how to make it work with a button but not with a frame number. What do I need to change in the script? Here's a button script I have;
btn_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,a);
function a(e:Event){
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.website.com");
navigateToURL(request, "_self");
}
So what should I change to make it work when it entered the frame 500 instead of when a button is clicked?

When you click on the movie clip it goes to another frame and an animation plays: THE PROBLEM: When it goes to the animation frame after clicking the button, you are still able to click the button even though the buttons are behind the animation that is playing...how would i go about disabling the buttons while it is on the animation frame but also keep the visited state of the button clicked?
I have my main stage upon which I have 4 movieclips with buttons over the top of them. The movieclips are essentially boxes and are all on the left hand side of the stage. I am making a presentation of various projects I have been working on and the idea is that when I click on a button, the movieclip below moves slightly to the right (clear of the other buttons) and gets larger to fill the rest of the space on the stage. My project is then displayed in that box.
When I click on the button the movieclip underneath it is told to goto frame 2 and play. For this example lets call it MC1. Once the button is clicked it goes to frame 2 of MC1 and plays a shape tween (basically the box moves and gets larger). I disable all other buttons on the page. Once it has finished I have added a button in the top right to basically do the reverse (i.e move the box back to its orginal size and location. I then enable all of the buttons.
This works fine in principal because I can view all of the movieclips individually but just have to close them before I can look at the next one. The only reason I disable all of the buttons is because if I don't do that and happen to click on one of the other buttons they do the same thing as the first MC1, but MC1 stays in place and doesn't return to its original size. Is there actionscript to basically do the following:
1) I click on MC1 - it opens and shows my project.
2) I then happen to click on MC3 and it will close MC1 and then open MC3.
However, the order in which I press the buttons could be completely random so I could go from MC2 to MC4, MC 2 to MC1 etc. I know that I cant just add code that says on(release) of a button gotoAndPlay the frame that makes the Movieclip back to its original size, for all of the movieclips simply because not all of the movieclips are open it is just one of them. Is there some sort of script that remembers the last button or movieclip that was used? I am sure there must be some 'If' ''Then' statements involved but again I am stabbing in the dark.
I have a show I'm trying to create, I need to put the navigation buttons on different places on each frame due to content.
Code:
on (release) {
prevFrame();
}
or
Code:
on (release) {
nextFrame();
}
and
Code:
on (release){
gotoAndplay("Scene1")}
I can get the symbols that I'm using as buttons to work in the first and second frame, but they will not work after that. Each frame has a
Code:
stop ();
Action applied to it.
I have tried: copy and pasting the same symbol into multiple frames, dragging new symbols into multiple frames, creating folders for each frame and dragging new symbols into those folders then onto a frame, and I'm still not having luck. This presentation is set up to run in Flash 9 with Bottom up loading order and ASP2

Is there a way to have a button click change the main time line frame rate?

View 3 Repliesi have all my buttons on frame 2. im creating a real estate site and i have to have a couple links like HOME ABOUT BUYING SELLING CONTACT, the thing though is that in the BUYING and SELLING frames i want to add more sections and links but only on these 2 other parts of my site. when i code it and add new buttons to these sections though my movie plays over and over and over non stop. heres my coding...
FRAME 1 preloader
Frame 2 has a frame label of home and all the buttons on a diff layer, and AS3 on a different layer
Frame 3 has a frame label for about section
Frame 4 is my contact for example
so if i create a new button in the about frame label and just add the code to the working as3 code on frame 2 my movie just plays over and over and over again, and all i want it do do is act like the other buttons and go to a different frame label down in the time line. the only way i get it to work is if i have ALL my buttons on frame 2.
frame 1
my preloader
frame2
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onHome)
function onHome(event.MouseEvent):void
[Code]....
i enter my btn code just like this and the buttons on frame 2 work but any new buttons i try and creat and put into different frames othere then frame label "home" aka frame 2 wont work
I have a SWF with two buttons that both direct users to new URLs. The first frame contains an FLV. During the playing of the FLV, the buttons work fine. When the FLV is complete, the SWF plays, resizing and moving the buttons. During the movement of the buttons I can click them and they work--while moving. But they don't work once the SWF reaches the last frame and stops. I need the buttons to work the whole time, especially at the end. [URL]
View 3 RepliesI've been looking everywhere but not solved my problem:In frame "2" I've got a ScrollPane with a long external sfw text scrolling. At his side I have buttons that links to a certain position of the scroll so they have:
on(release) {
ScrollPanename.vPosition=200;
}
(where 200 is n°of pixel down from the top)My problem is that I'd also like to have those shortcuts buttons on frame "1" (main menu) so they can jump directly to the ScrollPane position in frame "2" by press.
I have 10 buttons on my homepage and I want to play the same movieclip when you click on a button and after that move to a specific frame for each different button.
Someone know an easy to make this without having to create 10 differents movieclips just to change the action at the end of the movieclip?

I have a menu on the right side of an app I'm building with five buttons in the menu. Each button is a long rectangle with a symbol on one end and the label for the symbol on the other. On mouse over the rest of the button tweens out from behind the frame of the app so you can see the label and click the button. This all works just fine. My problem is when I mouse over the frame directly over one of the buttons, it activates the button. The frame and the buttons are on separate layers with the fame layer on top. The frame is just a graphic I built in Illustrator.

View 1 RepliesI'm working on putting together a portfolio website in Actionscript 3.0, and here's my situation: I have four main sections (Home, Works, Reel and Contact). When you first enter the website, it directs you to the Home content, which is on Frame 1. When you click on Works, it is intended to take you to Frame 2 - which it does just fine. On the works page, however, there is a frame to display large versions of the row of thumbnails along the bottom. Frame 2 automatically displays the large image of the first thumbnail, but the second thumbnail redirects you to Frame 3, which is identical, except it replaces the large image of the first thumbnail with the large image of the second thumbnail - and so on and so forth.
The thing is, when I get to Frame 2, my thumbnail buttons aren't working and I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at Portfolio_Site_03_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
What I'm getting from this error is that it essentially doesn't recognize my thumbnail buttons because they do not exist on frame 1. I even attempted to move the keyframes with the thumbnail buttons on them to frame 1 and everything was working just fine, except for the fact that I had big thumbnail buttons all over my home page which I do not want to be there. For reference, here is my AS code:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
//---Home Button---\
Home_Button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,hClick);
function hClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
[Code] .....
How can I resolve my situation and get my buttons to do what I want them to do? My only guess would be that I'd need to make a new scene, but wasn't that one of the major points of AS 3.0?
I am trying to use buttons to jump to frame labels. They jump to the label just fine, but they won't stop when pressed again. Below is the code I am using to have the button rest when pressed again.
getting_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gettingStarted);
function gettingStarted(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("ipad_in");
[code]...
The objective is when user clicks on any combination of 2 buttons you would then gotoAndPlay a new page based on the two specific buttons you have selected? Ideally user would be able to intermix the button combinations. I've attached a simple diagram that visually explains objective of actionscript.Code below only works for two specific buttons, but doesn't allow to intermix button clicks.[code]
View 0 RepliesI created a picture gallery in it's own file called slide, and i've made an mc in another file so i could embed the gallery in it. The images are enlarged on Scene 1 and the small image icons are in there own mc. The buttons work fine when testing the movie from the picture gallery's own file, each button has the following code.
on (rollOver) {
_root.gotoAndPlay ("framelabelname");
}
But when i test movie in the second file where the photo gallery is embeded, the gallery pops up, the bottom arrow buttons work to toggle between the image icon buttons but when you roll over the image icons to call a certain frame label, nothing happens, it just stays on frame 1. So frustrating because i'm doing this for a client who is paying for it to be done and I don't understand why it doesn't work right when embedded into a different file..
