ActionScript 3.0 :: Stop A Click Action If There Is A New Click Action?
May 26, 2010
I couldn't come up with a good title for this question but basically the problem is this - I've got a series of thumbnails and clicking on a thumbnail loads a larger picture into a holder movieclip on the main stage. However, if you click another thumbnail while the first picture is still loading, then both pictures load and it goes on from there. How can I make my code so that clicking a new thumbnail cancels any actions from previous clicks?
If I wanted to change an action from a button click to a frame-based action, what do I use instead of onPress? The hints from the AS editor are all click-based.
I just want to make a simple button action using actionscript 2 but I can't get it to work! I'm sorry for even asking but I've been at this for too long now for it to not work I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 and I do the following --
File -> New Flash File (ActionScript 2.0) Insert -> New Symbol Name - test Type - button Export for ActionScript Identifier - test
And then draw it in using the keyframes and add the code to 'Actions - Button' for my button
Code: on(release) { trace("trace"); }
I click on the button and it animates but no action event in the trace?
I have a slideshow that is looped ... it contains 5 slides.I am using a gotoandPlay action to control the slide show.
on (release) { this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98"); }
There is a fade transition between slides.When a button is released ... I want to gotoandPlay (frame 98) ... and then have it stop 10 frames later on (frame 108). Frame 98 includes the transition ... if I just gotoandStop on frame 108 ... I loose the transition.Is there any way to incorporate a stop action, after a gotoandPlay action on my button ... without naming instances etc.I.E.
on (release) { this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98"); STOP ON FRAME 108 INTEGRATED HERE }
I've just inherited a flash file on a project since I was the only one who has even seen actionscript code before. So, I'm pretty new to this, but have been programming a pretty long time. What we want is for the animation to begin upon the user clicking it and then when it finishes proceed to the html post submit. From what I see, the code seems mostly to be there, there is a 'stop' event, move next event, and even a 'on press' event. How do I get this to work? I can see the cod in the actions frame, but can't seem to edit it. Attempting to debug it, gives me errors on publishing. (How do I change my publishing?) This is currently actionscript 2.0. (but we seemingly have no external restrictions on keeping it so) As I mentioned, I'm pretty new to this, so if I am asking the wrong questions,
when publish the iphone os ,if the the *.actionscript file should be added in the contain files? and if the action "touch" in iphone os is the "click" action?
I am trying to perform an action with Ctrl+Click So, when a textfield is clicked, I would like to check to see if the user has the Ctrl key pressed as well, if it isn't pressed ignore the click action otherwise do the action...
I have some action script (3.0) Currently, it will allow the viewer to click a button (thumbnail image) and a larger ver. of that image will appear on the stage. I would like to convert this script to a "roll_over" the button (thumbnail image) and the larger image will appear on the stage. When I tried to do this with my new Flash CS4 - it did not work. This should be simple.... Right???
Here is the current script: stop(); var my_loader:Loader = new Loader(); //load image for thumb1 thumb1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler); function clickHandler(e:MouseEvent):void{ [Code] .....
I have a screen with 6 buttons. Only 2 are to be clicked in order to do something else. How can I do an event after having to click the 2 proper buttons?
Explaination: MX 04' Pro Thumbnail Nav. loading images with XML Loader resizes and displays images when users click on Nav. reading XML Problem: Users click Thumbnail Nav. first image gets loaded and loader resizes to image. However the next choice by user on thumbnail click, the second image doesnt get resized in the loader. It goes beyond holder. Here is my code for Thumbnail and Loader:
[Code]....
Now the first image loads fine and the loader sizes to file from XML. However, when users click second choice from Thumbail the loader doesnt resize to new image size. It only gets resized on the first selction or if users click the next or prev. buttons then the images fade correctly but nothing fades back in. Now if they do hit next or prev and then hit a thumbnail option it loads and resizes.
i'm trying to use "Enter" key to act as mouse click, so when user press "Enter", it's like left clicking mouse to open a new link. i use the following:
------------------------------ if (key.getCode()==key.ENTER){ getURL(".....url.......", _blank); } ------------------------------
it doesn't seem to work. nothing happen when press "Enter".
I am building a flash interface and I would like a menu where it is hidden to begin with (just a tab). You click the tab to expand it, and click again to collapse it. I've made a movieclip with animation of the menu opening up and closing, but I can't seem to work out how I'd go about making the movieclip open and close properly.
How can I get an action to follow another action when a button is clicked? When a button is clicked, I want the timeline to go to a certain frame and play and when it's done playing, to go to another frame and play. I basically want two actions in one function.
-1 large html (home.html) file houses 2 html files (aaa.html and bbb.html) -aaa.html consists of 1 swf button -bbb.html is empty
question: is it possible to click on the button in aaa.html and have the action occur in bbb.html? (for example, clicking the button in aaa.html will load a swf in bbb.html)
I have a script that I found on here posted by Salvador Marley.It is supposed to load these sub-menus (which are movieclips in the library, MC01, MC02, etc...) into an empty movieclip when certain links are clicked from the main menu.The code works for loading the movieclip from the library, and even switches the movieclip when I choose the next link all like it's supposed to do.However my problem is that it will play the sub-menu movieclip, but it will not stop at the end. It constantly loops. I have tried to put the stop command in several places throughout my entire .fla but it doesn't stop. The sub-menu's transitions just keep repeating over and over again. How do I get it to only play the sub-menu movieclip once and then stop? [code]
I'm making a very simple menu in Flash CS4 using AS3. I have a stop() action on the first frame of my scene, but it keeps getting ignored and looping the whole thing. The only other code is that telling the buttons to gotoAndStop on certain frames.[URL]...
I know how to use flash but i'm not highly advanced.I have started creating a website for a friend and when I have placed the stop action where I would like it to be on both scenes it still plays in a loop once i test the movie (ctrl+enter).
I want the video not to loop, but to stop on the final frame of the video. I want to add that action before publishing the SWFas3 file. I need a litle advice. I went to last frame and right-clicked on Actions. I don't know what to put in the dialog box.
its been a while since ive used flash,and im struggeling with a command id normaly do within seconds.im trying to add a stop action on one of my layers,i know the action script is stop ( ) ;but i cant recall how to add it only to the particular layer. im affecting the whole scene when i add a new layer and do the action.
This is my AS code: onClipEvent (enterFrame) { this._x = Math.random()*2+90; this._y = Math.random()*2+60; this._alpha = Math.random()*30+50; } It is applied to the movie clip. I am having trouble figuring out how to STOP to action. I want it to stop after 10 seconds. How do I do this?
I can't even get a stop action to work.Ok I have a simple little tween of a box moving across stage. The instance name of the box is "box_mc" the tween ends on frame 25 on frame 25 on an actions layer I have the following actionScript3 written:
Im using flash cs4 pro, designing a website. I put a stop action in the last frame of scene 1 (main page) in the main time line, and that works fine. We have a button in scene 1 that brings you to scene 2 (sub-page), this scene also has a stop function in the last frame because we want it to stop, until the user hits a button to bring them to the desired scene. Now, the stop action in scene 2 seems to work, for about 6 seconds, then it goes right back to scene 1, and LOOPS! through scene 1 and 2 repeatedly, as if the stop function on scene 1 was never there.The button that brings you to scene 2 has the following action
Code: on (release) { gotoAndPlay("2","1"); }
the last frame of scene 2 has only a stop action, as does the last frame of scene 1. Why does it loop even with a stop action there?
I have a simple movie clip that animates some text and a divider bar. The clip loops which is normal, I want to add a stop action to stop the loop.I have three layers; text, divider_bar, and actions. On the actions layer I placed stop(); on the last frame. This stops the movie clip just fine. But if I rewind and play it again the movie clips stays on the last frame and wont restart. I'm using Action script 2 and have even tried using as 3 with out any luck.
Frame 1 has an flv that it plays once and stops, here's the actions I have on that frame:stop();stopAllSounds();What would I add to make the flv loop or replay when it finishes? (I have buttons and more flv's on other frames, so I want to have this stop on frame 1 unless someone clicks a button to go to another frame.)
I am working on an interactive map. I want a thumbnail image to appear when someone hovers over the button. The thumbnail is a movie clip on the main timeline which moves into view with a stop action half way through. My intention was to write a MOUSE_OUT and direct the image off screen. When I mouse over the image comes into view as directed but instead of stoping at the stop action,it just dissappears. How can I tell the image to remain onscreen until the mouse is moved away.
I have a simple Flash movie, and have used AS3 to allow users to hit the up arrow and go to a certain frame, then hit the right arrow to go to another specific frame. My problem is the minute I put in "stop();" in the script so my movie stops on frame 1, the keyboard controls do not work unless I double-click the playing video. The minute I remove the stop command from my actionscript, the keyboard controls work perfectly...but my movie obviously starts playing which I do not want.
I need both the stop command AND the keyboard controls, and am at a loss.
