ActionScript 3.0 :: Opens Up An Jquerry Thickbox With Php Tabel - Buttons In Flash Stop Working?
Feb 25, 2010
I run an external script from flash(as3) that opens up an Jquerry thickbox with php tabel (it gets results from mysql db). But when i include some other css for centering my .swf in the middle(both x/y), my jquerry buttons in flash stop working.this is the css code:
div.ex
{
height:600px;
width:930px;[code].....
and the webpage: [url].....(php/mysql in jquerry not yet included, but i tested before)
Here are two examples I did the shadowbox and someone else did the thickbox sorry i forgot source - if it is yours please let me know and I will acknowledge From my experience on using both of them, i found that a shadowbox is a much better option.
Shadowbox uses javascript to hide the swf object when shadowbox is open - can display flash movies in shadowbox itself. Thickbox relies on wmode = 'transparent' to show the thickbox on top of the flash - very crude solution which slows your framerate down alot and doesnt work in all browsers.
I'm making a website using flash,And on my movie it says Welcome to Blah Blah Blah,And then a button appears, To make sure my button works,The writing turns to bold and goes bigger,When the button appears it works and goes bigger, Until it reaches the point in the timeline where it has stop();It stops my movie from looping or restarting which is what i want, But it stops my buttons from working aswell, How to keep my button working but movie stops,If you want me to explain more just ask
i'm a flash newb, wrestling with actionscript 3 and ran into a problem with a drop down menu.the menu is composed of nested movie clips that open and close, and contain buttons that control a ui loader in scene 1. it seemed to be working all right until i realized that after opening and closing and reopening a submenu, the buttons that worked the first time stopped controlling the ui loader. since there aren't any error messages i'm kind of at a loss as to what needs fixing.
I have three buttons and when I click the second one, the first stops working (e.g. no trace event and it won't go back to the frame "tab1") but the third still works. Then when I press the third button both the first and second no longer work. If I take out the gotoAndStop lines, the buttons work fine. The subsequent frames simply have stops on them.
b1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,b1Pressed);b2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,b2Pressed);b3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,b3Pressed); function b1Pressed(event:MouseEvent){ trace("b1 pressed");
I have a .swf I'm inserting at the top of a page in DW. I have a button named "aboutUs_btn" which when pressed needs to load "aboutUs.html. That part works fine, but it always loads the page into a new window. How do I make it load into the same window? I could do this in AS2 with getURL and using _self. Here is what I have:
var aboutUsLink:URLRequest = new URLRequest("aboutUs.html"); aboutUs_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,aboutUsClick); function aboutUsClick(event:MouseEvent):void{navigateToURL(aboutUsLink);}
I have 2 main movie clips, one for the menu bar and one for the content, there is then a movie clip within each one of those, one to hold the set of buttons, and one to hold the content movie clips. The menu bar has a control to flip between 2 sets of buttons. the viva content button works fine to begin with, but after the menu bar control is clicked, the content buttons stops working. Code is as Follows: All of the code (bar a few stop() flags on cirtain frames) is located on frame 1 of the root, which is the only frame on the root.

So i'm making this site where there are bottles floating in the ocean that are nested buttons so i can have them sway as well as have a mask on the bottoms.When u click a button all bottles should move to the left side and eventually the content will appear.I've added a trace for debugging purposes ... for some reason the buttons only work a few times.[code]
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]
My site has a thumbnail gallery that loads larger images that then jump to sections containing flash video. Everything works great when I test my movie and all buttons work. But after clicking on one certain button (my "about" button in the header), all of a sudden the large image buttons stop working and won't jump to the sections. Although they do still display correctly when over, down,ect.
I used kirupas tutorial 'Complex Button RollOver/Rollout Effects' to make a menu that slides down when you roll over it. I have buttons inside that menu_mc - but they dont work.
My question is - does the on enter frame function prevent buttons from working?
Now I'm working on a Website which contains a XML Carousel Gallery, with the coding below.Now this all happens on the homepage. I would like to stop the xml on other frames though. Is there any coding I can use on my Buttons, to stop the XML working while going to another frame?
stop(); var folder:String = "thumbnails/";// a folder for thumbnail files + an XML file var total:Number; var radiusX:Number =180; var radiusY:Number = 10;
I have a "website" in flash thats for a project @ school and everything works fine apart from one problem.When I click on "what", "positives" or "negatives" and then click on "Home", "Security", " Conclusion" or "Sources", the screen freezes and just wont do anything. I am at a loss as to why this does this as the coding seems finethe the .flaYeah, I'm sure the way I have done it isn't the best way of creating a site but I'm still developing and havent got the time to restart it
I have a .fla file that consists of four images that appear, pause a few seconds, and disappear in sequence. Each image has an associated button that links to a different url. There are also four navigation buttons, should someone want to jump to a particular one of the images. My problem is, the navigation buttons use a gotoAndStop action to take the user to a specific frame. After one of those buttons is clicked, the buttons that link to the urls no longer work. They all work fine until a gotoAndStop action is called. The navigation buttons continue to work.
The problem is my buttons stop working after a certain point. Now I think it's because I need some kind of loop somewhere, but I'm not too sure. I've included a trace in the code so I know the button is not working anymore. (At least the function of what I want it to do).
I'm using the action script 3 code below to run my main menu buttons, there are 7 in total. The trouble I have is when a video is playing, the user might not stop a video playing before clicking on another main menu button. So the user could go to a different section with video still playing with the audio etc.
// News content_mc.news_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, link1); function link1(Event:MouseEvent):void { content_mc.gotoAndPlay("news"); }
So I thought I'd write an if statement, that asks if video video is playing then stop(). Trouble is can't get one to work.
I have been working on this photography website, N its a full screen flash website showcasing photography. At large screen resolutions the buttons work fine, but when the resolution is lowered to a 1024 * 768 or something similar some buttons work and others don't.
when the user clicks on a thumbnail the user can close the lightbox by clicking on a button like this
Code: this.removeChild(lightBoxCont);
This all works (or seems to). If the user then clicks on another thumbnail the light box appears again, but the buttons don't work. These were added in the class lightbox.
Interestingly if I trace teh number of children that lbx has I find that each time the user presses on a thumbnail it goes up. First time its about 30, next time its about 60, next time its 90 and so on.I think this is causing the problem with the buttons not working.
I created a basic slideshow with a Next and Previous button. I attach this code in the first frame of the main timeline: Code: stop(); next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, moveNext, false, 0, true); function moveNext(e:MouseEvent):void {nextFrame();} prev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, movePrev, false, 0, true); function movePrev(e:MouseEvent):void {prevFrame();} It works fine, until I get to the last frame of the timeline (10th frame in this case). Then both buttons cease functioning. Why? The listeners should still be working.
I really need to make this work [URL]. My problem is that when I add an animation to the mask, the buttons that I have inside a movieclip, they stop working as a button.
I have 3 buttons and 3 MC's .each button tells it's MC to play and then stop at frame 15 and then tells the other two MC's to play if they are already at frame 15 and if not do nothing.i have it working to a point but after pressing each button a few times the script see's to stop working.
I am a n00b and was wondering if there was way to trigger the popularly useful thickbox (javascript to display a lightbox-style HTML page) from a link embedded in a Flash movie? I have a website that is all Flash and want to display thickbox formatted HTML content from a text hyperlink in the movie using actionscript.
Here's an example of how the hyperlink is formatted in HTML:
The swf buttons on my website open double browser windows in Safari - it's fine in IE and FF, just have this problem in Safari.So, why Safari opens the same window twice?
I am trying to have a video (New CLip.flv) start when the swf file opens and when it finsihes an image appears with some buttons on it (AS on frame 2). However I keep getting the following error:
After working for a prolonged time on a programming problem, I start to get coding tunnel vision. It makes it harder to draw back and look at the problem from farther away. Hence my question: I am using a Drupal 6 site. When a menu option is clicked, the page opens and a Flash SWF file needs to played in a ThickBox. After 8 seconds, that Thickbox closes.
Opening the SWF file in the Thickbox when a link is clicked is no problem, just like closing the Thickbox afterwards; that's basic javascript. For that I use these:
[Code]...
But opening the Thickbox on load? I can add a link for the user to click, but it should open automatically. I figured out the PHP to have it only open on one specific page. From the Thickbox manual, I learned to open links to images - but not how to open it when the page loads.
I do not uderstand why the stop on the attached file does not work. If I change the profile to AS 2.0. it works but not using in AS 3.0. See attached file. Attachments: Stoptest.zip (6.7 K)
I use Flash 8.I'm making this very simple Nav Box where on certain links open in a new window/tab. Those links work great.But most of the links are set to open in the same window that the Nav Box is on. When saving the SWF and HTML, the links work great. The problem comes when I place it on other pages/sites. The "Self" links never work. Here are samples.

Neither page nor link in the Nav Box requires a Iframe nor anything "special" to work.Here are to version of the AS2 code I've tried (Using the Day Of Victory Ministries link as a sample)
#1 on (release) {getURL("http://www.dovm.org/DOVM_AVP.html"); } ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- #2

Unless I'm mistaken, the way flash works, it matters not which server it is on so long as it's directory is public. This enables the flash to be placed on any page (via it's root link / Embedding code) and still have it's buttons work.
