I am creating a Flash header for class and two things need to happen - One, it needs a stop and start button, and 2 it has to be clickable.
I have the code for each one and they do work separately, but when I try to apply both, only one will work. Here are the codes that I am using[code]...
I have a button object that I need to scale to align with the variable width of an array of images.However, when I set the width in code, the button does not actually become that width. Tracing out the width gives me the correct value, but on screen.. it's off.
I've proved it to myself by scaling the same button object manually in the properties pane and visually comparing. Both of the buttons below have a width of 410.
Code:
navigatorDown_btn.width = 410;
navigatorDown_btn.x = (stage.stageWidth/2)-(navigatorDown_btn.width/2);
trace(navigatorDown_btn.width); // output: 410
* I have a flash project called contact
* The document class is ContactClass
I am trying to make a sprite button with graphics and can't make it work. I have successfully added text fields so I know the path is correct. I suspected my code was correct and confirmed it should be, after reading several tutorials showing the process for creating sprite buttons with graphics. Anyway, I imported nearly every class on Earth, but certainly everything which needs to be. Stage is gray and 800x600.The graphics code by itself with appear, but not when linked to the sprite. Also, the sprite won't appear no matter what. Another interesting piece of the puzzle: nothing will trace, not even objects such as textfields which actually appear and function on the stage when I text the code.
public class ContactClass extends Sprite {
public function ContactClass() {
var home_btn:Sprite = new Sprite();[code]....
I have three movie clips that are effectively draggable popup windows. At the moment I have each one sitting on a different frame and 3 buttons that guide to the frame to start the popup window.
I kinda want something more dynamic. I'd like to be able to have all three up at once and the user be able to drag them over each other like an OS.
Is there some sample actionscripts or maybe a tutorial around?
I'm designing a website for a Reiki/Spiritual advisor thingymebob and I have a menu on the left of my page of buttons and when I click a button it displays the contents of the button on the stage. Easy enough, so to speak, but the code I have written should send the viewer to a certain frame in the timeline where the tween begins.
When I play the swf and click the home button it works perfectly on the first page and if I go down the menu and click every other button in order they too all work fine, but as soon as I start clicking any other button randomly there is no tween effect and it seems to send me to the wrong page(!) plus straight to the clear text on the stage without any fading in tween. As though it has just gone to the last frame of the tween.
Here's the code below. I've asked the spiritual advisor for guidance and he sent me here, so please prove him right - ha ha!
stop();
myHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,
mouseDownHandler2);
function mouseDownHandler2(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(281);

I have a set of two buttons on frame 1.I am attempting to use the same set of buttons on frame 5.I copied the buttons with instance names from the first frame and placed them on the fifth frame, but they are not performing the designated actions.The buttons work fine on the first frame, so I know the buttons are functional.

View 4 RepliesI want to be able to toggle images on and off on key press.I cannot get multiple keys to work. I used to do this in Flash MX with the code placed on buttons off the stage. I used tell targeting with movie clips on the stage that had blank first frames and images on the second frame. Each button would call the second frame of a movie clip on keypress.Below is the code that is not working in AS3/CS4 - "M1" and "M2" are the two test movies, but only M1 works.[code]

View 5 RepliesI am trying to make a game where I am going to have different "Tiles" for each type of terrain. in my code I am calling on "Tile_GOLD" like this for a hit test:
[Code]...
and so my problem is that Multiple instance names don't really work, so I tried exporting for actionscript and that didn't really help either. So is there a way that I can call the tile in the characters code or is there a way that I can determine the hittest in the tile? Not necessarily for all of them to go to the next frame but to maybe have them make the character not be able to move. Also if anyone could give me a hittest code for making a mc not be able to go through an object

I have 3 FLVs each with a named instance and each with a button symbol for a hit spot also with a named instance.

Working on a photography website and I've hit a speed bump. I have 5 separate movie clips for each page.on one section the Portfolio section, I have four buttons one for different areas of the Portfolio.The buttons are located within the movie clip.There's an eventlistener to direct to the appropriate frame within the portfolio movie clip. The problem is when I click on the portfolio button to go back to the main portfolio frame it does nothing. I get a trace statement but no action. I'm assuming that since the movie clip is already loaded its just staying at the same frame.how to get back to frame one of the portfolio movie clip.Here's the code:
frame 1, scene1

//handle events for buttons
about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);

I have three sliders and they are generating numbers. What I am trying to do is, liderOne.value is divided by sliderTwo.value. And that gives me a number named density... Everything is okay for now...ActionScript Code:var density:Number = sliderOne.value / sliderTwo.value ;But I want the third slider to change the alue density by itself. I mean, in the purpose of doing that, I tried;ActionScript Code:sliderThree.value = density;but by this way, sliderThree is showing me the values of density. Everytime I change the values of sliderOne or sliderTwo, sliderThree is changed as density changes. But when I test the movie and try to change the sliderThree , it was like a big rock and not even moving

View 2 RepliesI don't have the cash right now to get Flash CS3, so I'm limited to using Actionscript 2 and that's what I have here. What I'm trying to do is use the onSoundComplete(); function, or something similar but not getting any results.
I'm doing a basic sort of mp3 player, though it only rotates between 3 songs. I have a character walking on stage as a movie clip, he's carrying a radio which is a nested movie clip within the first, and within the radio movie clip is where I have it set that you can manually advance from one song to the other by hitting a forward button, and there's also a volume slider. The first default song playing is "letsDance", The second song playing is "outtasite" and the third song playing is "please". They all work perfectly, the forward button to advance works, and the volume slider works.What doesn't work is when one song finishes, I want the next song to start. For now, I only included code for going from song 1 to song 2, but that's not working so I decided to stop there.
Unfortunately, with the three .mp3s included even at 20 seconds each, my compressed .zip file is 1.2mb, bigger than the allowed 146kb .zip on the kirupa forum. Therefore, I cannot post it on the forum, but have it hosted on a web server. Anyone willing to look at the file, you can find it at:
http:[url]...
What's in this .fla file right now is just the radio button and the volume slider, nothing else. I didn't want to include any unnecessary extras so even the three songs that are included are even shortened down to about 20 seconds each. Each of these songs are located externally from the .swf file and are called in through the "loadSound" command.Anyone who could shine some light or advice on why this isn't working or a better way to follow on what's going on here. I've read other things online about onSoundComplete(); like being used with music in arrays which I guess I could do, but I want to be sure I have control of advancing one song to the next and also adjusting the volume. Other things I've read about onSoundComplete(); is that it just doesn't work.
