I have a flash menu and two scenes. The first one is preloader with this code:
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
function update(e:ProgressEvent):void
{[code]....
The second scene is for menu.The problem is, when this menu is loaded i can push buttons several times, then it doesn't react at all, but when i reload the page, it works again..
I have created an XML driven Drop Down menu using the kirupa tut by Senocular found here. I am trying to figure out how to get the submenus to push the rest of the main menu down on rollover kind of like this. Not sure where to start to get the AS to get the button created fromt he XML nodes to move down.I haven't changed the code found int he tut too much and the menu works fine except that the rollovers just go over the main menu.

It works by clicking on menu items, and or using your mouse wheel.
I am trying to make it so that it responds to mouse movement. So if you mouse up, the menu moves up, and if you mouse down, it moves down.
The file populates the menu using xml, and below is the primary code that makes it work.
Every mouseposition functionality that I've worked on required that the content be in an MC, but this is all xml generated content, and I don't know how to target or control it.
package net.flashden.lydian {

I'm experiencing an annoying issue with a movie clip button. The movie clip is linked to a class which adds a rollover and rollout effect. The issue I'm having is that, even though the button is in frame 1, the button doesn't react to the mouse for some seconds into the movie. The only thing I can think is that it's the class itself, but I'm not certain. Here's the class:-

I'm trying to create app. that has 3 main buttons that goto 3 pages each with 15-30 buttons that each load external .swf that covers most of primary swf xpt 3 main buttons. Clicking on those 3 main buttons should unload previously loaded .swf and each loaded .swf should have preloader in its start.
1.) preloader works fine when i launch file separately, but when i load it from main .swf, it just shows "100%" at once...
2.) 3 main buttons doesn't seem to unload loaded .swf...

have designed a menu that opens into a sub menu that in turn opens up to reveal another menu .the menu is split 5 times too reveal the submenu's the script to do this is a tween that at frame 6 opens the menu and 11 closes it.
This is replicated to form another sumenu
I have declared the menu instance as "menu"
I have declared the submenu instance as "subsect"
I have declared the button to open the submenu as "expander"
using the with action i have told the expanders to tell all the other submenu's to play the closing sequence so that the open menus close when a new menu is opened .this fails to work as the with action cannot find the target .the code on the expander button is as follows
on (press) {
gotoAndPlay(5);
with (_root.menu.subsect2) {gotoAndPlay(11); [code]............
So i made an expandable banner which overlaps a flash map. But now the flash map doesn't reacts any more for the part that is being overlap by the banner
View 1 RepliesI've been trying to figure out how to use Keyboard events, so I tried out an example I saw online, but I ran into a problem. It's supposed to tell me whenever a key is pressed, and it works for keys such as ctrl and shift, but not for letter keys. For example,when testing in Flash ("test movie"), if I press "v", the Flash player doesn't react, but the Flash editor switches to the selection tool (keyboard shortcut "v"). How do I fix this? Here's the code I used:
function reportKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
trace("Key Pressed") ;[code].........
Got another problem here I just try to load images from a small xml-list and put them into an array, but I only get a message like this: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at thumbHolder/placePics() It really tells me nothing! What am I doing wrong? the code is here. I put a comment where the problem is (I left out the imports & stuff):

I need it with Flash CS4, AS2...
I want to make a little app, .swf, that has a bunch of buttons on them - each button corresponds to a string of text...
So let's say, the buttons are marked as "Rd" "St" "Ln" etc...
When they click on the button, I want it to add that listing to the dynamic field box so it will look something like this
*User clicks on Rd button and "ROAD" pops up in the dynamic text box - User then clicks the "Ln" buttons, and then the dynamic text box changes to "ROAD/LANE"
User decides they don't want to use road, so they click on "Rd" button again, and the dynamic box reads "LANE" - user then wants to add "st" so they click on the corresponding button and now the text field reads "LANE//ROAD"
Action Script 2.I have a count function that counts how many times the buttons in my scene are clicked.It counts upwards on each mouse click:root. count+=1.I know this is working because a trace(_root.count) shows appropriately.When count == 6, I need to trigger a sound. My code is as follows;[code]The problem is, it's not triggering the sound as expected, even though the _root.count trace is showing 6.
View 2 RepliesI have a bunch of external .swf's that I need loaded into my main one, but I need theme loaded at seperate times. Basically I think I need a single screen in the main file that holds a loader in the background and a movieclip place holder in the front. The click from a button in the menu needs to set the swf to be loaded and the screen informations,w here it is then sent to the single frame area to display the screen information, the loading bar, etc. When the movieclip is 100% loaded, it needs to take over the screen in that area until another screen is requested.
I've a little static portal, with guides, no server side support. All of it is local content (shared hdd). I'd like to make a page hit counter to know which one is the most useful, and wich isn't used at all. I've browsed the net for a long time today, but everything contains php. Though it's rare, that the swf is not on a webserver. I think there's an easy way to do, just don't know how. So I'd like make a flash that can count how many times the page (or itself) has been loaded.
View 5 RepliesI need a tutorial for a hierarchical drop down menu system that drops down 3 sub levels. Do I make the items in the sub menus individual buttons and then insert them into a movie clip or make every sub menu item a movie clip and insert them into buttons?
View 1 RepliesI am looking at creating a menu with three movieclip buttons on a main menu. I want to keep these buttons on the top of the screen at all times. I am opening different swf's and I want to make sure that the buttons are still showing. I know there is something with changing or swapping the depth of the movie clip when it loads the new swf's in, but I have not found anything that is seeming to work.
View 4 RepliesI have a class in which I have declared an array. The functions in that class are designed to make changes to the array, but it's not working:
[Code]...
Anything I do to customerCheck treats it as if it were a new array. This is especially obvious when using customerCheck.push in addCharToCheck() -- the trace always shows a blank array before push and an array with one object in it after the push... then next time it does the same. I know I'm making some sort of fundamental error regarding the scope of the array within the class but I just cannot find any good information on how to fix it! Moving to AS3 (been coding it for all of about 3 weeks) is a nightmare so far, and it seems to be the 'easy' stuff that causes me problems
Im working on a project that has a main swf file associated with the document class. It loads XML that provides the text content for the project, then it loads a swf that contains a font in its library, then it loads the first of several content module swfs. When the font swf has inited, I'm registering its library font with Font.registerFont(), and using it in a TextFormat object. After everything is done, I can add code to the document class to create a text field on the stage of the main swf and format it successfully with the TextFormat object, but when I try to do the same thing inside the loaded content module swf, the text doesn't show up there at all.

View 7 RepliesI am creating a navigation bar in Flash (which will then be used in Dreamweaver). When you mouse over each topic in menu (ex. Products), i want it play a movie clip (so it shoots out a sub-menu underneath). so far so good, but the only thing is, the sub-menu won't stay open in order for me to click on buttons in it. For each button, I assigned it the Behavior to go to a url. Also, I tested the buttons within the mc and they don't seem to direct me to url. do you think maybe it's because it's nested within the movie clip?? Is there an easier way to go about this?

What I'm trying to do is quite simple. Load an image externally, then display it (addChild it) multiple times, in different places, without loading it again and again. (Granted, caching means the image won't be downloaded multiple times, but I'd like to avoid those annoying disk accesses as well.) I know that flash doesn't actually support this. A while ago I was trying this same thing, I dug around for hours, and there was no real solution.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make a menu that has onRelease buttons on top of onRollover buttons (the onReleases are on a separate layer from the onRollovers). The onRelease buttons take the user to different urls, and the onRollover buttons are supposed to allow different parts of the menu to appear.
The onRelease buttons work fine, but I can't get the onRollover buttons to work consistently. Sometimes the onRollover buttons will correctly advance to a different frame, and sometimes they "stick" and do not advance. The script has no errors and I've tried changing the sizes of the onRollover buttons (in case they were too large and the cursor was hovering over more than 1 at the same time), changing the order of the code for the onRelease and onRollover commands (in case the onRollovers were being superseded by the onRelease commands), and countless variations of the layers and frames.
I'm sure that you'll want to see the script, but I don't think that pasting it all on this post would be reasonable? So I've put the .fla and the .swf on this page for reference: [URL]
I have 5 movieClip buttons. I want the GALLERY button to stay on the stage at all times, "which it does" but i want when the user clicks on 1 of the other 4 buttons for the remaining 3 to disappear.

View 2 RepliesI'm creating a webpage, and I have made some buttons.Image 1 is the homepage, which is frame 1 in Flash.Image 2 shows that when I rollover the button "Portfolio,"I get a dropdown menu.I have this set as frame 3 in Flash.Image 3 shows that I've gone down the dropdown menu and rolled over "Photography." But if I rollout of any of the things from the dropdown menu, it stays at Image 2 (Frame 3)with the dropdown menu visible. Which is a problem...I want to be able to rollout of these buttons to revert back to the homepage, Image 1 (Frame 1).But, for instance, telling "Graphic Design" to go to Frame 1 on rollout means that if I try to go below "Graphic Design" to "Photography," I've rolled out--and so the rest of the menu disappears.So I want to roll be able to select anything from the dropdown menu, and only rollout to Frame 1 if I go outside the entire dropdown menu, not just one button.

i'm new to AS3. how do i go about executing a custom function n number of times and then executing another function n number of times repeatedly?
eg.
function firstOne():void { }
function secondOne():void { }
i need firstOne() executed say 3 times and then secondOne() 3 times and then firstOne 3 times again and so on. i'm trying to move a movieclip 3 times to the left and then 3 times to the right continuously.
