I have this code: btn_nav.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, navPop);function navPop (e:MouseEvent):void{themIn = new Tween (btn_them,"alpha" ,None.easeOut,0,1,10,false);}I need to set up a conditional adding / removing this btn alternately on click - just not really sure how to approach that.
View 3 RepliesI am working on someones as2 file and I noticed that they had an onEnterFrame running non stop in the movie. I don't use onEnterFrame personally. So I tried to create a conditional to stop it. While the conditional worked its stopped the fluid animation they had used. So I need to figure out some other way to get rid of the onEnterFrame. Anyone have any ideas here? The AS basically resizes a box on stage when certain movies are loaded.[code]

The last big hurdle I have, is the following, and I hope someone can just throw me a bit of guidance on this.I am looking for a way to write a function, that on click of my "next" button in the main timeline, will refer to my loaded swf MovieClip(imageLoader.content) telling it to go to the next frame label, so really a compound if/then situation - just referring to the loaded file throws me.So, my next button is "pNext," and what I am looking for is something along the lines of:[code]
-if (loaded movie) is on frames 12-144, then go here (on click),
-if (loaded movie) is on frames 144-155, then go here (on click)
I have a button hit state called btnWorkH, below is the start of my code to make it functional. The idea being, that when someone clicks the button, I add a child to the top, to make it look like it has been clicked and is maintaining an alternate color. How would I code this so that it becomes a toggle? As, I need a click (once this action has been performed) that removes the child... just not sure how to write the condition for this.
btnWorkH.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, workClick);
function workClick (e:MouseEvent):void{
addChild (workO);
workO.x = 62.5;
workO.y = 109.3;
addChild (txtAmy);
txtAmy.x = 105.1;
txtAmy.y = 109.3;
}
I've successfully (finally) been able to pull imagery from an external XML list and display it on stage and even add it to be pulled randomly. What I'm hoping to be able to do, is after the first image comes in, using a mask bring another on top of it with a vertical blinds effect.And alternate back and forth with this technique. My thought process is two XML lists being pulled alternately? (I'm probably WAY off.) I've seen a couple templates out there, but 1. I'm a financially strapped programmer and 2. I wouldn't learn anything that way anyways.
ps. I might include the code that I have thus far in a little bit.It's nothing more than a modified version of an XML slideshow from another tutorial site.
On my website, I want my user to be able to launch video 2 at any point in the middle of video 1 without waiting or refreshing the window. How can I buffer the two videos such that I buffer video 1 enough to let it start playing, and then buffer just enough of video 2 that if the user launches it at any point, he does not have to wait to view its first few seconds, and then I can come back and buffer the rest of video 1? If this is not possible, I could also look at buffering video 1 and 2 in parallel while playing only video 1.
View 1 RepliesI have a list of buttons that each load an external SWF when pressed. When a button is pressed, the SWF loads into a movieclip on the main timeline, and the list dissappears (so only one is loaded at a time). The main timeline moves to a frame with a back button. When the back button is pressed, I'm trying to remove the loaded SWF and make the menu visible again to load another SWF.This all works, but when I get back to the menu and try to load a new SWF, I get the error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at CrystalBall/PL_LOADING()rystalBall being the first SWF I tried to load. The error fires like, four or five times too. I know it has something to do with the code trying to remove the loader before it loads it again, but I'm not sure how to fix it

I am pretty new to actionscript 3. I want to remove the movieclip on the stage and add a new movieclip but the button is within the currently running movieclip that I want removed. I am trying this function
homeArtist_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, newArtist);
function newArtist(e:MouseEvent):void{ removeChild(homeAni_mc); addChild(artistAni_mc);}
I get these errors
[code]........
the problem occurs when I remove the button, the button has been exported for actionscript, when I remove the button to change the page/page layout, when I return to the page, the button remains in its "over" state.so im wondering if there is a way to reset it either before its removed or when its added.I cannot use gotoAndStop(1);because I am working in a package file.
View 1 RepliesI have a bunch of movieclips called firstNameBtn_mc, lastNameBtn_mc and many others. I also have a bunch of movieclips whose names start with the same but instead of "Btn" they have "Arrow", like firstNameArrow_mc, lastNameArrow_mc etc.
What I want is when I click on firstNameBtn_mc it does somthing to firstNameArrow_mc, but there are so many buttons I would like to do it in the following way.
1. get the movie clip's name...something with e.currentTarget.name for example
2. remove the Btn_mc part
3. add the Arrow_mc part
4. do something to the movieclip of that name

I have 4 separate photogalleries, they are all swfs called by buttons with UI loaders attached. The problem is when one is called the loader remains on the stage I need to be able to remove any loader on stage BEFORE calling another page weather its a photogallery or not.Easiest explanation is how I used to do it in AS2 example 2 btns /2 load separate swfs into level1 on each btn I would have
unLoadMovie(1)
LoadMovie (xxx.swf) 1
I need to do the same thing in AS3 Also, do I need to use separate loaders or can I use one loader and instance names? Below is the code I have now (btns are in two areas)
main timeline btns (all btns except photogallaries)
stop();
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onHomeClick);

I've spent hours, and for all my self taught newbie-ness, I can't crack this: I have a navigation panel with several buttons. Lets call it mainNav. The mainNav buttons each add to the stage their corresponding MCs. They also remove any MCs from previous buttons currently on the stage. This is done by creating the MCs as variables, pushing those variables into an Array, and, when the mainNav button is pressed, calling the following function to remove the old (provided with assistance of the nice folks here), and then addChild(correspondingChild)

I want to make a button with the function, adding and removing display objects. I have a button named solutions. I wrote the basic code for adding the external swf file and test the movie. When I click the button at first time, it loads the external swf file. However, when I click the button at 2nd time, it runs the external swf file again. I can't figure out how to write the code to tell the button not to load the file again when the file is already loaded.
View 2 RepliesI thought i'd start this thread to uncover peoples habits and practices when it comes to the simple operation of adding and removing elements on stage. I ask because there are so many alternatives, and I keep wondering what might be the best/most eficcient way of doing it. Let me explain by giving an example:
Your user has chosen to click that flashing button that says "Sign up for our mailing list" and you need to prompt the user for a valid e-mail address by presenting him/her with an alert box on top of everything else. Do you.[code]....
I have two clips on the stage with mouseover and mouseout actions. When you roll over a clip, a new clip is created and added to the stage. I then use the drawing methods to draw a callout.It works fine the first time, but when you roll over the second clip, the drawing for the previous object is not erased and it adds to the drawing with the information from the second rollover.
Code:
node1.buttonMode = true;

i am currently trying to write code, so if i enter a value into a textbox it will move a symbol up and down the screen according to the value. I was using the method of removing the child at for example removeChildAt(1) then deleting it and re adding it in a different place. But for some reason as i have 10 symbols and textboxes it kept deleting random things. So i decided to try remove child by name, but this still hasn't worked.[code]

I am using Adobe Flash Builder 4 Premium. I have a mx:DataGrid and a s:TextInput, and I am trying to set up a search box that filters the DataGrid on each key press.his page shows a nearly perfect example of what I'm trying to do, except that I'm setting this up in a s:TitleWindow, which is brought up as a popup using the PopUpManager. The list I'm trying to filter can be very large. It is a list of usernames, fetched from a MySQL database via PHP. Since it can be so large, I want the list to be populated once in the main application and then referenced in the popup window so that it doesn't have to fetch all the usernames each time the user opens the popup.I have all of this working fine for the first time you bring up the popup, but if you close it and bring it up again, I get this runtime error:I also get this error if I attempt to set the filterFunction back to null just before closing the popup.See sample code below:

I'm adding and removing stage event listeners I am relatively new to AS 3 and have been building a liquid layout site unfortunately I do not have a strong grasp of classes and have been doing all of my scripting on the main timeline with encapsulated script within MC's.
basically I am calling on the same functions over and over and those are mostly resize functions which I have added StageEventListeners on the appropriate frames to listen for resize events on that stage now as of now I have literally dozens of these scattered about the site. when testing my site things are running fairly smoothly however I keep getting error messages in my output window that go a little something like this.

My favorite error:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.at flash.display:isplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
What I am trying to do is basically get my navigation working correctly. I had it working by altering the alphas of movieClips, but they just end up overlapping each other even if they are invisible so that's not working out. I have 5 navigation pages. And thus, 5 nav buttons, and 5 movieClips (content for each page -- Home, Location, Tenants, Design, Contact). I want to simply show the home movieclip when on the home page and remove the movieclips from the stage for the other 4 pages.
Then, logically, I want to click the Tenants page, which removes the home page, location, design, and contact movieclips. Very straightforward show only one and remove the rest from the stage, but every combination of add/removeChild and parent and stage etc. is giving me that error above. What's confusing me the most is that the add and removeChild works for the location page, but none of the others. The location movieClip is no different than the others, and I made the code the same but it's the only one that works.
//START Initial page load settings
homestuff.alpha = 0;
TweenLite.to(homestuff, 1, {alpha:1});
removeChild(locationstuff);
//removeChild(tenantsstuff);

When + button is clicked, a new circle is added on the circumference which makes thar circle X expand. When a circle 'a' is drag and dropped to a garbage image, circle 'a' gets deleted making the circle X shrink in size.
why I cant kill a child in my display list. So I'm working on an ad that is going to load in different swfs depending on the link you click. What I wanted to happen is when the ad loads the first swf is auto loaded in to my container. Then when you click on the next link the new swf would cancel out the last one. What I am getting is an overlap of the swfs and I understand that. I can't figure out how to kill the other children. I tried unload and remove child but have been unsuccessful.
