ActionScript 3.0 :: Simple Button Event Frame Navigation?
Jan 2, 2010
I am completely new to AS3, and am trying to learn the basics, but have been having issues with what I think should be a simple command. I need to have two frames, the first one with a simple button that when clicked loads frame two and on frame two a seperate button that when clicked loads frame one.
When I try using the following type of event handler, i can link from frame 1 to 2, but not back and get an error message:
(TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I understand how to create simple buttons as reuseable classes, but how could you create a next button that does something similar to the AS2 "goto and stop nextframe", and a back button that does something similar to the AS2 "go to and stop previous frame".On each frame that the user navigates to, is a movie clip, within that movie clip is then another button with a go to and play "Frame Label" action required, that navigates within the movieclip to a specific frame.

OK so I have a flash project consisting of four keyframes with "stop()" on the first frame so that it doesn't play through.I have "next" and "back" buttons on each keyframe so that you can navigate between the frames.However, I have a problem where the buttons seem to remember the frame they were on and they skip keyframes when navigating back and forth.Example:I'm on keyframe 2 and press the "next button" and it takes me to keyframe 3.I'm now on keyframe 3 and I press the "back button" and it takes me back to keyframe 2.I'm back on keyframe 2 and I press the "next button" and it takes me to keyframe 4???I have basic code on each keyframe.On keyframe 2 I have this code:
Code:
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextone);
function nextone(event:MouseEvent):void

I have created a simple navigation bar that has 6 buttons. the bar was created using movie clips then by putting an "invisible" button underneath. as for the action script:on the main stage in an actions layer i have:[code]I have this code for every button, except the names of the movie clips change. All the movie clips do for now is have a graphic go from black to red.The action script for the buttons are as follows:[code]Now when i play the clip everything works like i want it to work...The problem arrises once i load the bar into my header.What I have done is created a new file which contains my header... I added a layer called load with a blank movie clip with the instance name of load_mc in another layer called actions I added the following action scripts:[code]When I play this file, my button_bar.swf load but the graphic keeps playing over and over again instead of only playing on mouse over.

I have a nested movie 1 layer down from main stage that has several navigation buttons that move to different main stage labeled frames. I get an 1120 error because I am somehow not calling them out on the script. I have named the instances..so that's not the problem. I think I just need to somehow direct the script to the nested location. If I move the buttons to the main stage I get no errors and it all works perfectly.

I have a movieclip within the main clip called "playPause" which starts with the Pause button shown. When clicked the movie clip moves to show the play button and pauses the current parent movie with the AS "_parent.stop();" when the play button is then pressed the movie plays via "_parent.play();" and reverts back to showing the pause button.
Simple so far. What is getting me is if I add a movie clip within the parent (say some scrolling object) I cannot get the added clip to pause. For example say the "parent" movie clip the playPause moveclip is within is called "intro" and the moving object is called "introObject" which is embedded in a frame along with "playPause"
What I have setup for the playPause buttons is for pausing
_root.introObject.stop();
and playing
_root.introObject.play();

I've been working on this for an hour -Googled it - etc. Still can't do something simple.
I have created text on the stage, then converted it to a button. I want it to return to the first frame, so I added this to the button:
Code:
on(release) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}

I have a small flash site made up of a number of pages all on the one timeline.
The query is this. When i release a button i want the timeline to roll on for x frames (fading components out) before going to the frame that button links to (The beginning of the new page).
I have no idea what AS to use for this.
No matter where in the timeline you are, the button should fade out that area and then skip to a new one.

I started creating a simple navigation bar: [URL]
But decided to make individual buttons: [URL]
As you can see the latter repeats, however the code (after about an hour checking it seems to be identical:
Actions for frame one:
_root.buy_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (mouse_over_buy_mc) {
_root.buy_mc.nextFrame();
} else {
_root.buy_mc.prevFrame();
}};
Actions for invisible button:
on (rollOver) {
_root.mouse_over_buy_mc = true;
} on (rollOut) {
_root.mouse_over_buy_mc = fstartlse;
}on (release){
getURL("[URL]");
}

Movie named mcMovie is on frame 1 of timeline on the MainStage. Button inside that movie is named butButton, What would be the scripting for that button to jump to frame labeled "content" on the MainStage. Would the AS be on the mcMovie? or on the timeline?
Alternatively, I can make it all work with the buttons living on the MainStage but apparently they need to be brought onto the MainStage at the same time as the AS. Is there a way to have them in the first frame, yet invisible, and then turn visible at a certain frame?

I am All Programmer when it comes to anything including flash. I got into making games not to long ago and some people use frames to navigate from the main menu to the game screen and so on (which I have no idea how to do). and some people encapsulate the game inside of a class and call it from the document class and add and remove it when please

I am developing a multiple choice question answer. I have a movie clip in frame 2 where the radio buttons and question choices are displayed.I am trying to define a event for the radio button in the movie clip's first frame. But i show questions in random order. Say for example the first question to show is fifth I move the movieclip to 5th frame. The event is not firing since it is declared in the first frame.Should i place the button event code in each and every single frame or is there anyother option for this.

Is it possible to make a navigation bar appear at the bottom screen of a flash movie only when the user moves the mouse. And also make it disappear after 5 seconds if the mouse doesn't move.I suppose each button on the bar need to be visible on mouse event and then invisible after 5 seconds if mouse doesn't move.

I'd like to have a function that tells a MovieClip to go to a specific frame and then in this frame, look for a scpecific tag in an XML file, based on the frame's label, and then take some text (a bunch of actually) that is in the XML node and put it on a TextField.
For example, clicking on a "Next Frame" button it will go to the next frame (which has a label "intro") of the movieclip and then search "content.xml" for the tag that contains the attribute name equal to "intro" and then put the content of the ".@TEXT" node into an empty TextField that is already positioned in this "intro" frame. Am I obligated to have the code in this specfic frame? I'm doing it because if I have too much text within textfields in an FLA file it becomes incredibly lagged and therefore impossible to work.
I've tried to use the event ENTER.FRAME to do that but it rendered the
SWF lagged and consomming way too much memory.

I'm using flash for the first time to create my graphic design portfolio and I'm having trouble keeping the file size small, and can reduce it by (hopefully) doing the following:
My resume has a lot of classic tweens with alpha channels (to create fadein/fadeout effects) and as of right now, I need to create a separate layer of fadein, fadeout for each transition. IE: My resume to portfolio page needs one 20-frame transition, my portfolio page to resume needs a 20-frame transition, my 2nd page of my portfolio page to my biography needs a 20-frame transition, etc. It's getting out of hand.
I could easily remedy this by using a lot of separate fadeins fadeouts and then coding buttons to navigate from, say, frames 120-130 (resume fadeout) then go to frame 160-170 (biography fadein), then navigate to a static page. I'm not sure if this is possible, as my buttons would have to change functions each frame.
Another possible way is that currently for each button I have different layers in order to direct the button to different frames, and have placing hem in the same spot. I'm wondering if there's any way to have buttons go to separate frames on different frames, if you get what I mean (on frame 120 it'll go to 130, on frame 150 it'll go to 160 but still be the same button". Right now each button is coded with on release gotoandplay <frame>.

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

I want to play 2 separate labels in a movie clip in any order when clicking a button that lives inside that movie clip.
Here's what I have on the button:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("location_rev");
gotoAndPlay("residences");
}
Currently, the playhead is going to "residences," entirely skipping "location_rev." I've thought of an if statement to ask Flash to play "residences" when arriving at the end of "location_rev," but I'm not entirely sure how to go about that.

I have some dynamic text fields in a frame called ExerciseFrame (which contain different random numbers, texts, ... and other variables.) When I navigate to another frame called helpFrame and back to the exerciseFrame again, all variables and text fields and other random numbers,... are reset. I mean text fields which contained many data in them becomes empty! I do navigation by a button in exerciseFrame with a simple
eventListener( gotoAndStop("helpFrame");
And in helpFrame another button with this code
(gotoAndStop("exerciseFrame");
How can I keep the state the whole exerciseFrame unchanged when navigating away from it and back to it again? version: AS3 - Flash CS4
