I would like to use a couple of buttons that I made to set a variable. I'd like to use the instance name of the button(s) as the value stored as the variable. how can i code this?
View 3 RepliesI want to be able to have a number displayed on the screen that when one of the arrows next to it (up/down) is clicked it adds 1 to the original number (lets say 72). Then when they click the "save" button that really just takes them to the next frame (or a frame somewhere else in the movie), which is a confirmation page, I want the number they ended at to display on the confirmation screen.
I'm thinking that it is partially because I don't know what to search for.I know I have to create a variable and get the button to add one to that variable.
i was wondering if i set a variable on a button (the button is on level 5)
Code:
_level5.current_selection = "credits"
and i would like the movie on level 1 to recognize that this button (on level 5)has been pressed,is this script correct on an empty keyframe in level 1.
Code:
_level5.current_selection = "credits";
if (_level5.current_selection == "credits") {
loadMovieNum("credits.swf", 2);
[code].....
i've tried this and it isn't recognizing the variable.
I have a mc button which when click should set the variable associated with it. Here is the code I have on the first frame of the AS2 MC Button, the idea is when clicked this button sets q1a to 30 and q1b and q1c to 0 so when the SUBMIT button on main timeline is click it advance to next frame on with dynamic text and appropriate variable label on the main timeline.
clicked=false;
over=false;
this.onRollOver=function(){

I'm making a contact form, and I keep getting two errors when I try previewing it in a web browser.
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable Button is not defined.
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable ComponentShim is not defined.
I don't know what these errors mean. Can anyone give me an explanation? I am using Flash CS4 with ActionScript 3.0. The first function is for the contact button to go to the contact page. The code following is the code for the contact form.Here is my code for the contact form:

I need to change one variable at the click of a button the problem is that when I enter the first frame i declared a _global var _global.conteudo =null;

But when I click a button , i need change my _global var for example:
on (release){_global.conteudo="my variable declared";}
Here's a really easy (Not so easy for me) question for you. First person to answer rules the. I have a button that switches a variable from 0 to 1.
on (press) {
_root.pageone = 1;
}
I want the same button to switch the variable off. I've been trying "if else", but my syntax is rubbish. How do I code this statement On Press Button > if _root.pageone = 1 change to 0 > if _root.pageone = 0 change to 1.
I'm working on a game, where if you click an answer, it will double check to see if that's the one you really want. So I tried to set a variable when that button is clicked. On another set of buttons, I placed an if / else statement, but it doesn't seem to be working.[code]
View 2 RepliesI have several buttons I need to turn on and off (visibility and alpha) but the function I have written that determines if a given button should be turned off works based on a few variables. I need to be able to control which button is turning on and off with these variables.
I have tried this ("btn" + i)._visible or alpha but does not work. how I can accomplish this?
i'v 3 button on a line, if u click button1 it goes below the line, if u click button2 it should go below the line and button1 should go back to its previous position. this should work for the 3 buttons.So i set a variable on the first frame of my movie
var discesa;
set(discesa, "null");
then i wrote this code on every button so in the button timeline i go to the label that restores the position of other buttons, and in the main timeline i go where i need to.
on (release) {
// the button goes down in its timeline
gotoAndPlay("down");
//and i change frame in the main timeline
_root.gotoAndPlay("b3");
then the other 2 buttons go up in their own timelines if the variable is set with their values
if (discesa, "b1") {
_root.b1.gotoAndPlay("up");
} else if (discesa, "b2") {[code]....
last but not least i set the variable with the currnt button name
set(discesa, "b3");

I am a beginner in Flash development and I was just recently assigned to fix an old Flash project at my work. Essentially, the application is a video booth whereby users can record up to 60s of video via their webcam and then share it either via email, twitter, or facebook. When the application is started, a video ID is generated, and that is used as the video's file name when it is streamed and saved to the server. I am sure there is a better way to do this, but the way I came up with is to grab that video ID and pass it to the "Share" page as a URL variable, and then use that to access and share the video from the server. How I can access the video ID from the button that is sending the user to the "Share" page.
Here is the code:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
var ns:NetStream;
var cam:Camera;
var mic:Microphone;
var vidId:String = configName();
function tracer(p_s) {

I want to use two buttons, one for increase and the other for decrease, to change the numeric value of a variable. I will use this variable to call a line width in some lineStyle code that I have. Basically, the user will be able to use the buttons to change the width of the line they are drawing in real time. I have attached the fla with the beginnings of this section.
How do I get the buttons to affect my variable?
I have some buttons and movieclips. I want to create a variable. I want to change the value of this varible when I'm clicking a button.
View 5 RepliesI'm pretty new to AS3 but I want to get my buttons to play the same movie then go to their button function. i.e., Picture button > play movie (same as all buttons) > picture frame.
This is the code on my buttons
ActionScript Code:
stop();
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var currentButton:String;
[Code] .....
Then at the end of the movie I tried using a variable to link the button to its frame
ActionScript Code:
stop();
if (currentButton == name) {
content.gotoAndStop("music");
} else if (currentButton == name) {
content.gotoAndStop("book");
} else if (currentButton == name) {
content.gotoAndStop("stereo");
}
I know the scripts messed up but not sure I really get the variable thing as yet.
The situation is like this:I have Five buttons named button1 to Button5.What I want is to make one button invisible.To to this I have a for 1 to 5 -loop and I want to make one button invisible if it meets certain criteria.Is this possible without make an if-line for each button or not??
View 4 RepliesIm creating a menu navigation, which loads a sub menu movie clip from the library on specific button press. It does this by looking at the current selection (a number variable) and closing the currently active submenu. Once loaded it then changes the number variable to the value of the current submenu.
This works fine, most of the time... sometimes the number variable and menu loaded is completely wrong.
There are six buttons on the menu bar, included is sample script from the 'About' button, there is more to the script but it is instances of this sample, only button names etc change.
Code:
about_btn.onRelease = function() {
if (navID == 1) {
_root.submenuHome_mc.gotoAndPlay("close");

I have three buttons: each one changes a variable to a name: one, two and three and plays the movie.
when the movie gets to frame 100, it should get the variable and play the label with the same name of the button...
How should be the AS of this frame so it plays to the correct label?
i have a movieclip called allBUTTONS which contains 18 buttons. This movieclip will be called numerous time on the CDROM I am creating, and each time the number of buttons visible will change. So instead of writing the following code numerous times for however many buttons i want visible:

I this code a setup a button that calls a url request from another variable and that works fine:
var venue_www:String = "http://www....1";
var venue_url:URLRequest = new URLRequest(venue_www);
function venue_Click(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(venue_url);
vInfo.highlight1.alpha = 1;
} vInfo.venue.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, venue_Click);
But later on I have a function that changes the venue_www variable among other details. But my button won't update with the new url variable. I've actually also already removed the event listener and re-added it through the script, for whatever its worth.
function setInfo1() {// one for each venue
if (currentVenue=="ATL") {
venue_www = "http://www.....2";
}}
I have an AS 2 movie that has tons of navigation. When the movie first loads, the main screen plays an animation and stops. That animation is my main menu. If a user clicks the home button (which is an MC instance) it takes him to the Home Movie and plays. From here, I need to be able to fade out that movie and fade in a new movie when the user clicks on the next button. So, I want to create a variable on(release) of the button thats within the Home MC that will play the fade out and then be directed to the next animation.I imagine something like this.
buttonA == false;
on(release){
buttonA = true;

When the button is first pressed, I can see in my debugger the data LocalID has a value, but why doesn't it write to the _root.PrimaryID until I press the button a second time?
submit1.onPress = function(){

getDatax.sendAndLoad("GetID.cfm", getDatax, "POST") ;
getDatax = new LoadVars()
getDatax.onLoad = function(){
if(this.writing=="Acquired") {
_root.PrimaryID=this.LocalID;
