Button From Within A Symbol Effect Frame In Another Symbol?
Sep 25, 2009So i've done SOME work with flash and AS3, right now i'm working on a website for my boss, he bought some template online which has stuff laid out and animated and everything already, now I just have to integrate our content.My issue is this, I've got 2 symbols on the screen, one of which contains alot of buttons that list our services as company, the second symbol contains the content (or descriptions) of those services, which on are separate keyframes.What I'm trying to accomplish is that when you hit the button in "symbol A", it affects the "symbol B" and goes to the corresponding keyframe.For example when I click "button 2" in "symbol A", "symbol B" goes to keyframe 2.Now if they were in the same symbol it would be something like
on(release){
goToAndStop(2);
}

Nov 22, 2011I have a project in Flash Professional CS5 and ActionScript 3.
I have a movieclip symbol (referred herein as "background" with scripts on various keyframes inside of that symbol. I need to hide or show another symbol (referred herein as "object") sharing a stage with "background".

Actionscript 3 :: Access A Button From A Symbol?
Dec 8, 2011A designer gave me an fla file with his design for a banner with some buttons and it is my job make those buttons do stuff. However, I can't seem to get a reference to any of them in actionscript. I am using CS5.5 fp9 and as3. The buttons in the design are instances of symbols (graphic) from a library. Through the 'edit symbols' menu in the top right corner of the window that displays the design, I can navigate to the different buttons and I managed to change them to type button or movieclip so that I could give them instance names. However, even with instance names, I still can't access them from actionscript.
I think it may have something to do with the way these symbols have been added to the stage. I can see them in the design view and when I run the project, so they must be on the stage right? However I cannot select them in the design by clicking on them. Only by using the 'edit symbols' menu can I select them.
It seems that if you 'lock' stuff in design view, you can't work with it in developer view either. Not even in actionscript! The buttons in the design I received were locked from the beginning, it didn't even occur to me that it could be something as silly as that!

Nov 18, 2003If you put a button symbol into a movie clip. Then, place the movie clip onto the main time line. Add multiple scenes to the movie and multiple frames on the pain timeline. Go back to the button within the movie clip and program it
on (release) {
_parent.gotoAndStop(25);
}
This sends the main timeline to that frame. But, uou can't do this
on (release) {
_parent.gotoAndStop("Scene 2", 25);
}
You can't make the parent change to another scene in this fashion. How come?
