I'm keen to use movieclip instances instead of button instances, but I will have a lot of buttons. If I use MovieClips: Is there any way to avoid coding the rollover functions etc. for EVERY movieclip instance? - ie is there anyway to code the behaviours into the master Movieclip button (ie the way buttons have built in behaviours), rather than have to add multiple event listeners to every instance - just to get a rollover effect?
View 1 RepliesI have an array of movieclip buttons that is a table of contents for a module. I am using a loop function to maintain their down state when clicked. All of the event listeners for each content heading in the table of contents are coded outside the loop and each one loads an external swf file (also in an array). I also have "next" and "previous" buttons that advance the external swf files being loaded but I also want the button array to move forward and highlight the next section. How do I advance the button array outside its loop function?

View 5 RepliesI have added a button to Lee's scroller * ; to the 'content' movie clip, inside the scroller. Testing the movie, Flash recognises the mouse click -and doesn't give me any compiler errors- however, the button doesn't function. I am guessing my code isn't well enough written to get the playhead to move within the main timeline, as it is embedded in a movie clip (the content mc) within another movie clip (the scroller mc), perhaps. Using AS3, what additional code do I need to add to what I already have written?
My code for the button:
// handle events for back to menu button ...
btnbacksmilejapan.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickJapanSmiletoMenu);
function clickJapanSmiletoMenu (evtObj:MouseEvent) {
//trace shows what's happening ... in the output window
trace ("The Japan Smile back toMenu button was clicked")
// go to the Menu
gotoAndPlay("scene two jpn");
}
I want to know if there is a way to add an ease function to a movieclip that has a tween added on the stage already? is there a way to specify the number of frames that I want it to ease? For example, say my tween runs for 25 frames, but I want the easeIn to only last for 5 of thoes frames, and resume it's normal speed for the last 20 frames.

I have 6 radio buttons spilt into two groups of 3 and one normal button.The first group of radio buttons correspond to colour and the second to texture.My aim is for the user to be able to chose a colour, then chose a texture by use of the radio buttons, click on the normal button named 'create' which loads a corresponding jpg onto another part of the stage according to the colour & texture selection.I am totally stuck on how to code the buttons so this can happen.I'm sure there is an easy (ish) way for this to happen, but i'm no expert and haven't been able to find it or work it out.I've named each radio button individually, grouped the two sets of radio buttons for colour & texture and named the normal button.
View 6 RepliesI have 6 MC on stage with a button on each. When clicked it plays the timeline in the MC. I want to make sure that none of the other MC are playing or 'open'. So I wrote code in each clip to close the others down, but it just seems a really lengthy way of doing it.
So I've been trying to figure it out with var/strings and some script like. btn1.onRelease play this... if there is another MC open then close it. someone point in the right direction. So I can learn... I've thought about this alot and I would use this way of coding alot. rather specifying and repeating the statement on each clip.

View 2 RepliesI've been having to rebuild my as2 site into as3 which has difficult. Half of my revision has code is inside the FLA and half is outside.

View 1 RepliesFirst, an explanation to what I am doing. I am currently building a Flash movie to go onto a CD. It will be self contained so that the audio files are not exposed for easy bit torrent sharing, and is pretty working really well until this point. have build a custom dropdown menu which is functioning (when you click on the button, the dropdown animates and brings up the new options to select from), however...I cannot seem to get the coding correct on them. I have scripted them so that if you was to click another link or dropdown, that the previous link would be closed. But the buttons within the dropdown will do nothing but look pretty, for a lack of better terms.
The downdown menus are within a movie clip for the Nav Bar, separate layers from the other buttons of course.Yet when I source the scripting to go to those buttons to call the EventListener...nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong? If needed,I can make a "random" version of the layout.Demo song buttons will link to an audio page on Scene 1, but at different frames. Multimedia will also have two separate frames which hold two separate functions. I already know how to make the direct buttons (credits and the B-Side) work correctly, but the dropdown buttons will not function for me.
This code works fine for loading a pic into a created container and placed centered in a box_mc.I am trying with no luck to have the same thing repeat itself x number of time.
My idea is:

Does anyone know the actionScript to apply to custom radio buttons? I want them to function exactly like the component radio buttons available in CS3, but I can't use those because adding one makes the .swf about 30k and I have a 30k limit on all flash files.I imagine the radio button would have to be a mC with frame 1 a drawing of a button unchecked and frame 2 the button checked. Then another mC of 4 of those radio button mC's grouped together and coding to tell it that when one is clicked to unclick the others, but I haven't been able to figure it out. I haven't been able to find any info on this online since everyone just uses the component versions anymore
View 5 RepliesI've just come upon an idea, on how people could learn to write AS. Every week there would be announced projects that would have to be written in AS. There could also be levels of difficulty for different people.
After annoucing the task, for instance: "Make a dynamic slide show, that will load files from a XML file, and display them by fading-in / fading-out at some intervals". People could start writing something, and if someone would have any trouble, It could have been answered in the topic. After a week, the best working projects would be selected and added as a opensource, or mayby even converted into tutorials.
I know that my idea was allready made a hundred times, that was just an example. If the idea would pass, there could be a poll, or another topic for project ideas.
I think that it's an idea worth thinking about. I personally would participate in it, just for the challenge.
P.S: Im posting this here, because in other forums the topic could just die, w/o much people viewing it.

View 4 RepliesI have been using TweenLite for all of my easing. I was wondering what the code is for having a button inside a movieclip not active while the movieclip is tweening.Then when the movieclip does finish tweening the button then becomes active.
View 2 RepliesHow can I get a button inside a movieclip link to a frame in another movieclip on the scene? I tried this code:
function gotoCenter(event:MouseEvent):void {

..where "skruetest" is the button, "centermc" is the movieclip where I want to go to frame 2. I don�t get errors with this code, but nothing happens when I click the button. What can I do?
Why AS3 decides to stop running all scripts if something isnt right with the programming? Every time i might have a slight syntax error here or there, or a missing object, coding throughout my entire movie stops. All my stop functions cease to work, and the movie and movieclips loop continuously. This never happened in AS2. Is there anyway to prevent flash from turning off all actions because of some minuscule error?

Hi, I am brand new to Flash and I come from other development environments so I have a question about a possibility. I am aware that you can have a symbol (like a MovieClip) use a custom class to handle how it responds to the world, but I was wondering if it's possible to be able to set some values via flash without having to touch code. For example, I create a MovieClip called Crate, which has a class that lets it be destroyed, but then the designer wants to specify that certain crates have contents inside of them. Is there any way to do that in flash without having to create a new class for the crate?
In other words: the designer puts a Crate in the world and then sets a propery (for example: contents = TennisBall) and the Crate class handles the rest. Will this work? Also, am I right to understand that instances of symbols are all the exact same? So I can't have the designer create a new instance of Crate and then change it to be a little different (like draw a sticker on the Crate), but still have it be the same as all the other Crates?
I hope these questions make sense and I apologize if I asked this in the wrong forum. I'm very interested in developing games for flash, especially after the news that CS5 will let you export to the iPhone, but I'd like to keep the code away from the designer as much as possible,
