Actionscript 2.0 :: CS4 Flash Buttons Won't Work?
Sep 17, 2009
building a website but to run a control interface for av... the companies component is in AS2.. Have CS4 Flash - built buttons (and cool ones they are) in a AS2 environment. I cannot control sections of the timeline and I now know I will not be able send control to my devices as the buttons require different code (I think) Tried standard library buttons and no problem.. I believe I would need eventlisteners etc.. tried for the last 2 days to make it work.. I don't drink so my last resort.
I want to click on the buttons (separate layer) and go to a section on my timeline.

I'm having problems with the flash buttons on the flash website i made for a client. or some reason the buttons in the top and bottom menu work on some people's computers but on some they don't. I don't know what to do, i had this code for all the buttons,
on (release) {
getURL("http://legaldepartment.ca/","_self");
}
and they worked on my computer but on others the buttons didn't work at all so i added this code to each button also
on(press) {
_root.getURL("http://legaldepartment.ca/","self");
}
and they still work on my computer and some other people's computers but still some they don't work on some people's computers.

Attached is an FLA with an image that moves onto the stage. There are 5 button MCs which are supposed to move the image left/right. Works great, only if the SWF is published for Version 6. However, published as a version 8 swf, the buttons no longer create motion. On a different thread, somebody published it as a version 8 and 9 SWF and said the buttons worked perfectly..FYI, clicking into the , imageStrip_mc is an Actions layer, as well as the Actions on the root timeline.I am using Mac OS X Flash CS 3 - v 9.0 - using ActionScript 2

iv created a flash gallery using AS3. im having it self study so im not sure how well to manipulate the codes. what i did was place some codes on each frame where my next/previous buttons are place.. it works fine locally, but when i upload it online, it seems not to work and the whole frame runs when it should stop frame by frame.
(example code below)
stop();
btn_nstand2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onstudio3);
function onstudio3(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay("studio3");}

have a simple flash file that allows a user to click on 12 different buttons, each of which will display an image. Once the image is displayed there is a "close" button that appears which will take the user back to the main screen. The file works fine, except that once a user has opened and closed an image, they are brought back to the main screen where all of the other buttons stop working

I have a movie clip with 15 frames. Each frame has buttons on it (mc's)... I was going to put the actions on the main timeline/stage and navigate within the MC from the main timeline. Is that possible? I can get the buttons on the first frame of the MC to work, but I can't seem to figure out how to target/make the buttons on the other frames work? I was thinking I could identify the path of the MC with the frame labels, but that doesn't seem to work. like: _root.RMChanger.(frame label).buttonOnFrame = function
I have to move a text box in and out over the MC backgrounds on the main stage... which is why I was thinking to do it this way? I've been switching back and forth bwtween AS2.0 and 3.0

I am having trouble with a job I am doing at the moment which has an mc with buttons within it. I want it so that when I roll over the mc it tweens from a small version to a larger version, and on this mc there are some buttons. At the moment I can get the mc to move but the buttons remain inactive and also the rollover states on the buttons don't work. I have attached a simpler version of what I am trying to do to this post.

I am using Flash CS5. In flash the program has a set of buttons already in a folder within the program so you can use them for your website and projects. For those that know the buttons most of them have a text that says "enter". What I have done is dragged the button to my stage and double clicked on it so I can edit it. From there I change the text from enter to something else like say "home". My problem is that when I click duplicate or make a copy of that button and go to change the text it changes the text for my first button too.
So I have my first button that says "home". My second one is going to say "pictures" but when I change the text of my second button to pictures it automatically changes the text of my first button from home to pictures. It seems that the only way I can get my buttons to work is if each button has the same exact text and if I change the text to one button it changes the text to all my buttons and makes it all the same text. How can I fix this so each button has a different text? I have a layer on my main timeline that is called buttons and all my buttons are on there. I am using these buttons for my flash website project but instead of creating them myself I used the ones flash had because I found them a bit more stylish for my taste.

I have been building a website in dreamweaver, but have flash buttons which work fine. But the banner I have made in the page just has a white background. When I export it in flash it works, and when I preview in the dreamweaver browser it still works. I do not know what I have done wrong. Is the coding in the server wrong for the flash?

I am trying to get the flash buttons for my website to work, but every time I do the getURL thing it keeps saying 'Cannot find(directory)'. The website is offline and I'm using Macromedia Flash MX 2004, I also might be able to use Flash 8 but these are the only two versions I have access to.The action script for the button is:
on(release){getURL("..********(Website directory)(sub directory)(Website page).html")}
I am making the website in Dreamweaver 8 and this is really holding me back as it's nearly finished but the buttons still don't work.

I am trying to make an index page with buttons for a photography site.the entire page is built in flash so far. I have created a drop down menu that is a Movieclip with 5 buttons.I can not seem to assign an external web page to each buttons that are under the movie clip drop down menu. Is this a possible? The Movie clip is run by mouse-over the word "studio Gallery" button. This drops down the 5 gallerbuttons (Portrait, children, wedding, Artistic Babies, etc...). In Flash 8 Pro I know I can assign an external web page named children on the main page but how do I assign these to the buttons in the drop down once the movieclip is made. Is this where I need to use folders with extra layers in the folder to make it work?

why the buttons in the flash banner I created in Flash CS4 work when I preview it in either Flash or HTML in the Flash CS4 program, but when I go to load it into a html document in Dreamweaver CS4 and preview it in a firefox or IE browser, the banner comes up fine, but the buttons this time will not work. The buttons are displayed with there animation and sound, but the links will not work. I have tried scripts in AS2 and AS3.

I've read through several threads about this error, but haven't been able to apply it to figure out my situation... My flash file is an approx 5 second animation. Then, the last keyframe of each layer (frame #133) has a button in it. My flash file should stop on this last key frame, and you should be able to click on any of the 6 buttons to navigate to another html page in my website. Here is the Action Script that I have applied to the frame in which the buttons exist (on a separate layer, see screenshot at: [URL]

I've made several flash buttons for use in my navigation bars. They work great but the "back" arrows on the browser are always grayed out. It doesn't seem to matter what kind of browser I use. The site was made in Dreamweaver and the Flash buttons are imbedded within the pages. I posted the same question on the Dreamweaver forum and got some vague answers.
Is there some code I can put into my Flash buttons?
The site is [URL] or just type "Fire on McGinnis" into a search engine.

I've used flash like twice in my life, but I think I know how to make a button. I'm working on my artists portfolio online and I'm making it in flash. Basically it has buttons which link to photos and videos. There are 5 videos and 5 photographs. Now the problem is when you click on a button and watch a video buttons 1-3 of photos don't work. But the 4 and 5 buttons for photos work. It seems to only happen after you watch a video. The same actionscript is on all of them GotoandStop is the command I'm using for the photos and GotoandPlay for the videos.

I had all of my code working, then I moved all of my main movie timeline into a movie clip (body_mc)Main movie now has 1 frame.My body_mc has a navigation menu, one button is portfolio_bttn which takes you to that frame label. It persists through all frames of body_mc. This button works fine.I seem to have everything working except 4 buttons on the first frame of body_mc. They should all perform exactly the same function as portfolio_bttn. They exist only in frame 1.They work the first time you click one (any one).Navigate back to frame one of body_mc and all 4 buttons will no longer work. What am I doing wrong??here is my code which is in frame 1 of the main timeline
Code:
body_mc.portfolio_bttn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickPortfolio);
function clickPortfolio(event:MouseEvent):void {

[URL] the above site has small animated buttons that run through a sequence continuously until the user positions their mouse over the button then it launches into a 2nd sequence (all in the same movieclip). inside each movieclip there is the entire sequence and the first half is the bit that runs continuously - the second half is the mouse 'overstate'. the top layer has an invisible button and the action script:

I am new to Flash and am having an issue with a project I'm working on. I have buttons that are in frame 1-150. I wrote the code in frame 1, but expanded the box to frame 150 so they will work. However latter in the project I want to be able to gotoAndStop frame 150, but when I do the buttons no longer work. I changed it to gotoAndStop frame 1 and they work. Can you not link to buttons in the middle of the "timeline".

I'm trying to convert an AS2 file over to AS3 and I can't get the buttons to work. They do not want to gotoAndStop at certain frames in specific scenes. In the following code, if you click on a button it works fine, but when you attemp to change to a new Scene, it breaks and both buttons won't work thereafter. I've tried everything for almost a day now and cannot get this to work and cannot find any reference to the problem. Is AS3 buttons not able to go to a new scene as it suggests in the Help files?:

i'm just learning Flash at a local college and my instruction is not being very helpful, so i'm hoping someone can help me. I need to insert a "start" button that will start the movie. I have the button on a layer called "startButton". I inserted another layer and called it "stopMovie" - this is where I add a keyframe on the 1st from and the last frame and then add a actionscript to stopmovie on both frames.
The problem I'm having is when I select the 1st frame of the layer where the button is localed, I go to the actionscript window/global fuction/timeline and then I want to select "play" but the system has it grayed out so I can't select it. My only option is "goto". But that doesn't work. All I want the funtion to do is start playing when I click on the start button.

I have a cascading/collapse flash menu.There are about 7 layers, each one of them a different page that slides and covers the other layers.for some reason, all the buttons on the bottom layer (layer 1 for instance) can be clicked on even when the 6 other layers are ontop of it with their own links and buttons. How can I make it so all my buttons don't shine through all the other layers. I can't slide the layer away to get ride of the buttons because it is still partially viewed when the other layers are ontop of it. I can't figure out why the buttons in layer one can be clicked in layer 2 when its on top of layer 1, or layer 3,4,5,6,7 when they are on top of layer 1-i assumed these layers would block out the buttons and links in the first layer(which is on the way bottom)
