I have created a series of buttons which are actually MCs in AS3. Each button when clicked goes to a particular frame (all good). The problem that occurs is when you click a button that is 'active' (ie click a button twice in a row)...Flash takes you to the next frame rather than keeping you on the designated frame.How can I stop this or disable the button whilst on its designated frame?[code]
View 1 Repliesone thing that always annoyed me and that I never sought an answer for is, occasionally, when I want to play a single frame of a symbol, it won't stay on the frame I want. It will automatically default back to whatever frame # it is originally on.I read that it was because it has something to do tweening automatically syncing and snapping and I just have to turn it off. However, I can't figure out how to do that.
View 1 RepliesI have a movie and after the intro the enter button takes me to the next frame (11) and stops. there i have a drop down menu with button instances on each of the drop downs. The drop down is in a movie clip so i am using on (release) {_root.gotoAndPlay("s1"); } on the button instances to take me to root level to say frame 12 and stops. Each button instance has a different frame label to go to, s1, s2 etc - the idea being that back at root level i can have the content of each of the buttons on each of the frame labels (s1 at frame 12 , s2 at frame 13 etc) .... this works fine except the drop down menu in each of these new frames retains the action script on the drop down button instances - this is fine for all the buttons that will take me to another content page at root level - what i dont want is the AS to remain on the button for the page i am currently on - cos if you click on it it takes you back through the intro etc to get to its frame label again .

View 14 RepliesI'm trying to figure out how to disable a button after it is click and then enable it once another button is clicked. I'm stuck on how to enable the button.

I can`t figure out how to add the onclick function to the designated object. In the end I want to set a variable and a goto action to end up on the correct slide.
In my Timeline there are two keyframes with some complicated functions, but the mistake lays in several lines. In the first one I have:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var fadein:Tween = new Tween(pictureOne,"alpha",Strong.easeOut,0,1,true);
In the second one I have:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goBack);
function goBack(e:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(1);
}
The point is to make the Tween from the first frame work only once after opening SWF and to disable it after using te command gotoAndStop(1); from the second frame.
Basically its an onPress event handler on a movie clip that attaches another movie to it when pressed.The problem is, I only want the movie clip to be attached once in the designated x,y coordinates, no matter how many times the main object is pressed. I'm essentially trying to write my own FreeTransform script, that allows users to resize the object.
Below is the my source code:
ActionScript Code:
chair_mc.onPress = function() {
var bounds:Object = chair_mc.getBounds(this);

I've been in web development for years, but I never really ventured into Flash beyond simple tweens and so forth. Now I'm trying to broaden my horizons.Using code from a similar post, I've created a rough 'proof of concept' of a spinning window wheel.I tweaked the AS2 code a bit to work the way I'd like it to, but one thing is still tripping me up... How to get the wheel to stop in designated 'zones' so that answers will be clearly visible in the windows.To put it another way, I'd like this thing to work exactly as shown (randomly), but always stop exactly aligned on one of say 12 zones or slices of the circle
View 1 RepliesOkay, this drag and drop thing seems fairly doable, but I've never tackled it before..I have about six items that I want to be able to drag and drop into their designated areas.I would like whatever mc that is being dragged to be put on the highest level, so I will need the set depths thing to work out.Also, if you drag an MC and release it but it's not on the correct target, I would like it to animate back to it's original position. Could you point me in the right direction as to how to do this? Or help me out with any code or source files you might have?

View 2 Repliescan some one fullscreen and how to disable the esc button?
View 2 RepliesIn my code, when a user clicks on a button, I set the alpha of the button to 50 and set enabled=0. This works to essentially disable and grey out the button. The problem is that even though the button has been disabled, it still sits in the over state until the user moves the cursor off the hit area... Funny, no?
Since you can't tell a button what frame to go to, how do I get it to go back to its up state (without recreating all my buttons as movieclips and doing the whole thing manually)?

if you click on the middle Character a popup window will open at that time i want all other buttons disable so that we cant see the small box on mouseover.[url]...
I have some code similar to the following:
ActionScript Code:
//
//
var box = new Sprite();
box.graphics.lineStyle(10, 0xFF0000);
[code]...
If you click the box, its alpha is set to 1 rather than .1 because of an errant MOUSE_OUT event.What is the right way to fully disable this button when it is clicked?I'd rather not remove the event listeners because I have a bunch of different MOUSE_OVER functions on many different buttons and keeping track of which function is with which button and whether or not the listeners are already assigned seems like way too much work just to properly disable a button.
I have a button that when you roll over it a big window pops up, but then when you click on it, it pops the window up again, now its not a problem but i would like to know if i can disable the click function somehow. so that only the roll over works.
I know you can probably use a movie clip and just tell it with actionscript to load when rolled over, but i don't know how
I have some buttons that play an external swf inside an empty movie clip on the main timeline. I was wondering what Actionscript I need to disable the button when it is pressed. I want the button to still have roll over functionality and everything, but I just want the swf to load once when the button is pressed. Below is the script I am using right now.
on (release) {
//load Movie Behavior
if(this.content == Number(this.content)){
[code].....
I need to know how to disable a button
i used :
_root.(buttonname).enabled=false;
for buttons which is on the stage directly but it doesn't work with buttons that inside a movie clip.
[code]How come I cant disable the button by this function?
View 1 RepliesI need to disable a button once the user has clicked it! I also need the colour of the button to change once it has been clicked as well (I need it to just grey out - not sure if this can be solved using actionscript??) The only method I could think of of accomplishing this is to put each button in their own UILoader, but I'm hoping there is a simpler method!?
View 2 RepliesI need my buttons to stay put, but, I need to figure out away to make them stop working temporarily.

View 4 RepliesI have a site with 908 buttons. Basically a person clicks a button, makes a donation (through paypal) and then that button gets their name displayed when the mouse hovers over it. Essentially the button becomes the property of the person who makes the donation. how to disable each button when someone clicks it. Disabling a button isn't the problem. I need it disabled only when the person has made a valid donation. Each button has a unique instance name (b001 - b908). There must be a way.
View 9 RepliesAs the subject says, how do I disable a button once it's pressed?For example:- Home page loads, disable the Home button- Click on Contact page, disable Contact button, re-enable Home button.I've tried removeEventListener, used button mode true/false and nothing seems to work for me... Unless I'm doing it all wrong...
