ActionScript 3.0 :: One Button To Do Two Functions?
Jul 14, 2009
How could I code one button to do this
var showpage:Loader = new Loader();
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("fade.swf");
on1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showPage);
[code]....
And the Very Same button when clicked again to do this removeChild(showpage);Pretty much, What I have is a lightswitch, and when you click it, A black Fade appears arounf my FLVplayback.. And I want it, to where you click it again, the Black fade goes away..I can do this with two different buttons.. But was wondering if at all possible with one button.
I have one function that puts text in a text field and makes a button goto a url onRelease.The code is like this:
Code: item.onRelease = function() { myButton.onRelease = function() { getURL("http://google.com", "_blank"); } talk = this.txt; } the only problem is that the button doesn't work onRelease. i think that it is because there are too many functions there, but at the same time,
I'm designing an interface for a class, and the buttons that I am using all have multiple functions.For example, when the story button is clicked, I need the mc to stop playing and change to text (in the same window/screen, just no mc playing). The mc is 31 frames long, but if there's a way to just make it loop continuously until told not to, Currently, my code looks like this:
stop(); story_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,story); function story(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop(32);}credits_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,credits);[code]...
When I click the button, the mc does not stop playing and the text does not show up.
Let's say I have 3 buttons (movieclips) and, using AS2, I want that when mouse is over a button, that button changes its state, something like
[Code]...
so that the same thing happens for each button when the mouse is rolled over it, by simply calling for each button a function inside which I refer to the button by using "this". And the problem is I cannot (don't know) how to do this in AS3. I mean if I use "this" inside a function, this refers to the main timeline. So is there a possibility to write a function like
so as you see, I want both functions to execute on the same button but it only does 1. how can i fix this? so that both functions execute on the same button/movieclip
I have a button which should generate a salt mc and statin mc, but when i put the generating loop on the main timeline and run the function from the button it doesnt work. PS. i need the generating funcion on the maintime line as I need to remove the mc when I click the 'reset' button and also do hittests with the mcs
This time I am trying to use button functions with in IF statements. However I am having trouble with the if statements regonizing the currentFrame(); or currentFrameLabel();. I want diffrent button functions depending on what frame the playhead is in. But the frames are in diffrent movieclips and what not.The next problem is that I do not full understand the way to do frame paths (IE Root.Movieclip.Movieclip) in AS3. series of tutorials that I could read and follow,
I'm making a menu in flash and I want that when I CLICK the button/movieclip moves up and when I CLICK again it moves down again. I allready did it with MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT but that gave me problems.
I have used the loader script to load an external swf into current project. I have added a button to unload the external file when wanted, and was wondering if you could have multiple functions for that button, so that when you click it to unload it works as a 'home' button as well, and takes the user back to the mainpage again?Might be wise to mention that im kinda new to adobe flash and as3, and not sure if the way i have used to load the external swf was the easiest. Seems like a few have had some issues with this subject before me as well.
How would I manage to enable a button to perform several operations? I want a button to do the following.
I want it to change colour etc, when it is hovered over, I also want it to activate anther flash file on the page via local connection on release. How do I allow the button to set up different actions? Do I need to make 2 separate invisible buttons? And have action script applied to both of them for the 2 commands? How for example would I be able to extend this so that I can have the button doing several things? Say:
1) On rollover it changes colour 2) On rollover it activates a flash mc on the page 3) On Click it changes colour 4) On release it takes the user to another page
I have written two arrays for two separate functions and trying to have a button call both. How is this done properly? The function calls, collection() and left() are conflicting.[code]...
i have a button which should generate two different variables, but it only carries out 1 function and not the other. If i put another button calling the second function it just overwrites the mc generated from the first function.
Also, I need the functions to be on the main timeline as i also need to remove the mcs when needed.
I am having trouble with defining buttons I have on a separate frame. I define the buttons in my main class on my first frame fine, I have a mc called buttons and then on frame 1 I have some buttons and on frame 2 I have a button called btspin.
so when I have the following:
buttons.btspin.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, spinmouseclick); function spinmouseclick()...
in the class it doesn't work. And that makes complete sense to me.
So what I did instead was keep those functions still there, but I moved the listener into a function that is called once you get to the second frame. The function is called fine but when referencing the button inside that function I have a problem:
function spinmouseout(e:MouseEvent):void { //Change BT Color buttons.btspin.buttoncolor.transform.colorTransform = new ColorTransform(); }
when called mc-buttons is on the right frame it gives the error:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at MethodInfo-11()
how to make button do multiple things at the same time. i.e when button is pressed it animates object1 and object2 i have a buttons that opens a sliding door (code is:
on (release) { control.gotoAndStop(2); }
so it opens a door where sound control is and i want for the same button at the same time to open lets say another door somewhere in the same stage with a music tracks in ther
I have attached a sample fla file of what i am talking about. I am trying to get a button to do two different functions with one CLICK event. depending were you are on the time line a window should open on close when button is clicked. The problem is it dose it once, opens then closes. I would like it to work every time the button is clicked either open or close depending on the state.
Im doing something wrong.I have written two arrays for two separate functions and trying to have a button call both. How is this done properly? The function calls, collection() and left() are conflicting.Currently left() isnt working, but with collection() commented out it does.
I'm working on a gallery. In the "Picture.as" class I load the picture and there is also a function with an animation to make the picture disappear. In the main class the pictures are put to stage by putting instances of the Picture class.All I need to do now is to adress the function in the according Picture instance. It works fine as long as I use the direct link, but when I use a variable it does not work anymore.Here's my code:
I'm putting together a pretty basic website/portfolio. The buttons/code that go from page to page work great. The code I'm using to access larger images from thumbnails is basically the same, however it's not working.I have the site setup so that each larger image is it's own separate page, so basically the thumbnails act as buttons to access a specifically labeled page. Ex- Thumbnail/button "Character1_btn" goes to the page labeled as "Character1" to display the larger image. I hope this makes sense.Below is the code I'm using. As I said- all functions but the character1 function are working properly.. I really need the character 1 function to work.Quote:
stop (); home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playhom e); function playhome(event:MouseEvent):void{
how I can control two events on one (the same) button click. On click, the first function must jump the user to a particular frame label and at the same time trigger a second function which is a movie clip on that particular frame. I must note that the event listener is attached to an actual Button and not a movie clip.
I'm almost 100% sure that I have to write an if, else statement for this. Below is the code I have for a button(movieclip) I created. It is suppose to play an animation when you click on it. Then when you click it again it's suppose to play a second animation that will take it back to the original state. What is happening is, it goes straight to the clicked state without playing the animation. However when you click the second time it plays the animation that takes you back to the original state. Am I correct in believing the only way to get the animation to play on both clicks is to use an if, else statement.
function clickPlus(event:MouseEvent):void {btn1.gotoAndPlay("clickOpen"); }btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickPlus); function clickX(event:MouseEvent):void {btn1.gotoAndPlay("clickClose"); }btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickX); btn1.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickPlus);
This has served me well, but I've been designing a new sight and wanted to get more into Action Script to control functions to help improve both my programming and keep my file size down.
So I decided to create an instance of a block (rectangle shape as another movieclip) and have multiple layers. One which controls the actions of two other blocks. The upper most block would not be visable until I ran the cursor over it (increase its Alpha property from 0 to 100 one step at a time in a loop). This would reverse when the cursor ran off (reduce Alpha property from 100 [or less] back to 0 in a loop).
I've read and re-read every flash book I own on the subject and cannot understand why I can't control another instance of a different movieclip.
can you make a button have multiple functions? as in if i click a button one and imahe will pop up and then click that same button and another different image will pop up??
I am using prototype.js to make AJAX calls. I need to do this in a flash document to replace the contents of a <div> which contain a Flash movie, to be replaced by HTML.
I'm trying to get a button to generate 2 functions at the same time. Function 1. to fade in and out of the background on rollover of buttons Function 2. to generate displayed text on rollover of same buttons
Here is my code: stop(); import mx.transitions.Tween; import mx.transitions.easing.*; // - FUNCTIONS - // MC_BACKGROUND Fade In Fade Out Function function turnOff() { [Code] .....
When trying to call this function whilst at the same time generating the fade in fade out sequence of the background nothing happens.
