I recently purchased KoolMoves flash program. How to add a start and stop button to a movie? I want to use the 3dball movie in my website. I exported it as a flash movie and placed it in my website, but it is autostarting and I don't want it work this way. I got the 3dball movie from the Animation Libraries, Animated Clip Art, in the KoolMoves program.

how to combine images within SWF as external files and using XML to load as fast as possible all images? Banner is quite big... I have received some reply that I I need to work inside the .fla, not the swf to create an array, using the xml data as elements of the array. Is this true or there are samples within Koolmoves or steps?
View 3 RepliesI've made an animation in After Effects (1:40 min). At the end of the movie appears 3 buttons. I used the "standard" "load external video with playback component" option in Flash to load the FLV in the swf. My problem is that I would like to add 3 invisible buttons at 1:20min over de FLV movie so people can click on it to go to a webpage. I tried to add a button at frame 1440 (18 frames x 80 sec), but that doesn't work because of the playback.

View 1 RepliesI'm amended a AS2 movie, which is a rotating banner add movie. In this movie there is a button which is always visible throughout the movie. I need to add a onRelease behaviour onto this button, so that it can call a JavaScript function when clicked.
I'm new to Flash, I have done some Flex work, but no Flash. How can I add the onRelease behaviour to the button and have it available through out the movie. I know how to convert the button to a movie clip and add the onRelease behaviour but it only lasts one frame, how do I make available through out?
I'm trying to figure out how to add a sound to a movieclip button so when the user clicks on it a sound is played.
View 10 RepliesOn the main timeline, I have placed a movieclip (movieclipone) which contains some content. On frame 85 of movieclipone, there is a new keyframe which contains a movieclip that hasn't previously appeared in the movieclipone timeline, (moviecliptwo) which contains four buttons (btnone, et cetera).Is there a way to have code in the main timeline that attaches listeners to the buttons inside moviecliptwo, which, when pressed, trigger a function that increases a counter and tells movieclipone to go to the next frame? This is the code I am using right now:
stop();
movieclipone.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnter);function onEnter(e:Event):void [code]........
When I debug the movie, I get this error at frame 85:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
My application creates instances of a movie clip (located in the library) based on XML data. Now I want to add individual button functionality to these instances, and I'm stumped.
I'm basically creating instances of clickable doors, the data of which are fetched from an external XML file. The number of doors (doorCount) is calculated directly from the number of "door" nodes in the XML, so it needs to be fully dynamic. Essentially, I want to have a single function that each instance can use by passing in their individual XML data. Clicking a door would first open the door (or something similar), and clicking it again would lead to a link, listed in each instance node.
Here's the loop, where the instances are created:
[Code].....
I don't really know where to begin. Am I able to declare an eventListener inside the loop? How do I pass the "number" of the door to the function called by the eventListener? Or should I somehow pass the door-specific link (and any other node data) to the function directly from the loop?
I added a button symbol to a movie clip in a Flash 8 project, and the button works. OnPress it redirects to a web site.However, the animation in the movie clip becomes diabled. I get the same effect regardless of where the button is placed, e.g. scene1 timeline, movie clip, etc.

View 14 RepliesI have created a paint/drawing program, and I want to be able to add a button to the menu that allows you to open a new page. When you create the new page it creates a tab inside of the application and not just opening a new browser tab. I can do the new page to a new browser tab, but I want to be able to keep it inside the program itself.

View 1 Repliesi want to add a restart button to my little program, just want it to run again whenever i click the button "start_mc" after it's previous thread completed. i put the following lines in the beginning of code.
start_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startRestart);
function startRestart(event:MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
unfortunately after the program run end and i click on the button, it doesn't do anything. i wonder what can go wrong with this simple button function. I have another event listener in this program for file loading, is there conflict between them? besides this restart button the program is running ok itself.
