[URL] if i have 50 buttons and i click or rollover one of them, i want the rest of the 49 to fade in color, and the one i am rolling over of clicking to say as it is. I imagine for sure there will be use of arrays, but i am not sure if there is a certain class in AS3 or design pattern that i should know about to get this to work in the most OOP way possible.

I have this code that makes a menu with two buttons appear following the mouse when the mouse rolls over a movieClip:
Code:
var imgOptions:menuMC = new menuMC();
//Makes the image options follow the mouse
function showImgOptions (e:Event):void
{
[code]..
The problem is that the buttons are children of imgOptions, and when the mouse is over these two buttons, the movie reacts like the mouse is not over the imgOptions movieclip.
I am using Flash CS3 targeting flashplayer 9. I have created a menu that has 5 simple buttons in it. I use
a actionscript tween to move the menu from off the stage into view and back again. For some reason when the menu comes on the stage the hittable area of the buttons seems to be getting affected. I am dropping the menu onto the stage so I am only tweening the y property like so
var menuTween:Tween;
menuTween = new Tween(toc_mc, "y", toc_mc.y, 78, 1, true);
When the menu comes into view it is like the hittable area of the button gets squashed vertically down.Even though the text still appears perfectly fine and the background of the button looks right the cursor will only click on a small sliver at the very bottom of each button. Has anyone else seen this?
i'm not very good with actionscript but i manage to do something close to what i want. It's explained in the swf itself... swf: [URL]
View 12 RepliesI've got about 6 buttons laid out, one on top of the other in a list format. In their normal state the buttons are grey in colour, when I rollover them, the buttons flash and turn to orange. Now, what I need to happen is this: I want the buttons to stay orange once clicked and only roll out back to grey when the user has clicked on another button in the list. I've been told that the best way to do this is via adding a listener, however I am a little unsure as to how to go about this. I've checked the flash help file and have a basic understanding of how listeners work...but can't really wrap my head around applying it to this situation. Perhaps I will need to have all the buttons as separate broadcasters?

View 9 Replies-Alright so I have made a next, and a prev button. That navigate the timeline inside an mc "tabs_mc." This mc ison the the main stage.-When the next and prev buttons are pressed they goto 1 of 4 frame labels on this timeline inside tabs_mc.-When one of these lables is reached an mc "thumbs" appears on the screen / stage.-These mc's "thumbs1, thumbs2, thumbs3, and thumbs4" contain buttons that SHOULD be clickable.-But are not after the prev, and next buttons are press. They are before the next, and prev button are press, but not after.
way this is or even better how to keep these buttons enabled after the next, prev buttons are clicked?I thought of making some sort of boolean to tell the each button that is needs to stay "true" after prev, and next are pressed.But I'm a beginner so I don't know where to start.Heres the next, and prev button code:
HTML Code:
//Button Listeners
/////next_mc.buttonMode = true;

View 2 Repliesbuttons are programmed identical but some of them have to be double or tripple clicked (depending on the level they are in) in order to access the designated location.What does it mean?

View 1 RepliesBasically I have 3 expandable buttons place beneath each other that expand when individually clicked. I want the "other" buttons to move/tween as the user clicks each button. I could get them to move but I want them to tween when they move rather than just jump to a new y position.
View 7 RepliesI have a file,which loads external movieclips in a main file,and you can navigate around,by using a next / previous button.It also has a dynamic textfield which loads an xml.

I'm trying to create a loop of some kind. I haven't done these before and I've tried searching the forum, but I'm still stuck. Not to mention, I still don't understand the difference between a for, while, and do loop, but I will tackle those later.

If I have 10 buttons, how do I keep track of the order of buttons I click on? For example, if I click buttons only in this order: button3, button6, button8, button2, something will happen. Maybe plays a sound tone such as sound.mp3. I'm going to use actionscript 2.0 in my movie.

View 2 RepliesI am making a game for the university I attend. I am having students choose between college and high school by two buttons to see if they choose the correct answer. Then I want it to display the number correct on a result page I will have them print out for the instructor of their freshman seminar class.Can flash remember if a specific button was clicked? I have each button with a unique name and could it tell which one was clicked to help me figure out results?
Otherwise, I was wondering if there was a way I could have flash keep track of "points" so I can display the number correct. Would it be possible if I gave each button a numeric value and somehow added up the numbers from each button to put over a total score of 12 (that's how many questions there are)? Could it be done in a dynamic text field?
I recieved some help earlier with actionscript 3.0 and buttons. I wanted my buttons to load in a swf file into the main flash document when clicked.

I'll explain the problem I have having as Im sure there are a few solutions, I have a flash website which has four main links, HOME, SERVICES, BLOG, CONTACT.
When the services button is pressed 5 more buttons come in from the right hand side each is slightly delayed to give a stacking effect.
The problem is if the user clicks on the Services button and then quickly presses the another button the service buttons tween in onto the wrong page!
The solution I am thinking is to set a time delay on the services button so when it is pressed the other buttons are delayed for a few seconds to give time for all teh serivecs buttons to tween in.
If so how could I implement it? I have bene trying many things to get it to work, I almost have it, but the delay only works the first time the button is pressed and I cant seem to get the timer to reset!

I have three picture and buttons. Therefore user need to enlarge picture by pressing buttons after viewing all image. Then user need to move next page. The next page is another movie clip. I would like to disable nextpage button here to till MC complete.

I attached a movie that I am working on. I use the duplicate actionscript to put several buttons on the stage when clicked.

As of right now it only works on 1 button and by changing the 6 in this code for (i=1; i<6; i++) to 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 it will only change that button. How can I get them all to change at once?

My teacher in Adobe Flash CS3 is so slow with the teaching (and some doesn't understand what the .alpha = 0; does in my class so he has to teach them and they just keep us at thesame level). We has just taught my class "trace". Anyways, my problem is this: I've made a XML file which gets loaded into Flash and it gets my animation and adds the labels to the buttons, so far so good, but I am trying to make these buttons do stuff when clicked, like (website menu) if you press "contact" it will show "contact" and if you press "home" it will go to "home" etc.
As I said I'm a bit of a noob to AS3 (started to go through it in class 2weeks ago, but as I said he teachs very slow we are better off on ourselves) so I'm not that sure off how to do this. before starting to talk what I've tried I'll give out the code (it's done after one tutorial with some modifications).

I am working on a website and I have my buttons within a MC and they are revealed when you rollover the MC.All buttons are independent buttons from my library and they each have unique instance names.

I have a website with a very simple code that gives all the buttons in the menu an animated rollover and rollout state. When the buttons are clicked, I have a movie clip with all the content which goes to a specific frame label depending on which button is clicked. Very simple, no problems there. But what I can't figure out how to do, is to add a variable so that when each button is clicked, it stays in the over state until another button is clicked (at which point I'd like it to go to the out state, while the new button would go to the over state.)I found several examples of codes that do this, but I can't figure out how to modify them so that when a button is clicked, it also goes to a specific frame label in the content movie clip, so that the content for each section can be displayed the same way is in the original version.[code]
