I'm making a small site in flash which contains some basic scripting, and I ran into a problem. I'm trying to make 2 buttons (<<< and >>>) to browse through a certain part of this site, and clicking the button would bring you to the previous/next frame in the timeline.My script in these frames is as follows:
stop();
achteruit.onRelease = function() {
_root.gotoAndPlay(prevFrame);

I have various movies clip within a movie and my back (mc = arr2_mc) and next (mc = arr1_mc) buttons are on the main scene.This is on my main scene on a first frame
ActionScript Code:
movieclip.prototype.playBackwards = function(arg){
if(arguments.length>0) {[code]....
when it goes back, it goes back frame by frame without stopping but I want it to go only to previous Scene. instead of going to previous frame.Do i have to create a unique button? which i did but i didn't work?
What is the script used to go to previous frame viewed as opposed to (see below) previous frame on timeline?

View 3 RepliesCurrently I have a single movie clip and next/ previous buttons attached to this movie clip. The image changes every 9 frames. Currently I have the code set to change at every frame. How do I get it so it changes at every 9 frames????

I've a problem with this script:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;stop();
indietro.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, vaiIndietro);avanti.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, vaiAvanti);
function vaiAvanti(event:MouseEvent):void {
nextFrame();}
function vaiIndietro(event:MouseEvent):void {
prevFrame();}
I just want to create a button to go to the next frame e one to go to the previous frame.
This script return me this error:
TypeError: Error #1009:
I'm trying to create a "back" button, but when the user clicks on this button I want the animations to go in reverse and then go to the frame that it is calling. so for example i have 5 notes, what happens first is that "note 1" is on the stage then you click on 'next' and then "note 2" slides in from the bottom and pushes "note 1" up and out of the frame and stops and shows 'back' and 'next' buttons. what i am trying to do is, if the user clicks on 'back' , I want the movie to rewind and have "note 1" slide back down. Or if they click on 'next' 2 will be pushed up and 3 is revealed the same way 2 came in.

Each of these 2 page documents have links to a learning resource on a web server.All I want is for the user to be able to navigate to and fro this two page document.

View 1 RepliesI have a project that have lots of Scenes (50 or so with lots of buttons that link to movies, in most cases I have several buttons linking to the same movie) So..I created a scene called "movies".I have about 90 movies on each frame (90 blank keyframes) with a stop action , FLV Move Progressive download, and a back Button on each framewhen the user clicks on a that back button I want the program to go back where the user just was, Not the Previous Frame with in the timeline or scene.
View 1 RepliesI understand how to create simple buttons as reuseable classes, but how could you create a next button that does something similar to the AS2 "goto and stop nextframe", and a back button that does something similar to the AS2 "go to and stop previous frame".On each frame that the user navigates to, is a movie clip, within that movie clip is then another button with a go to and play "Frame Label" action required, that navigates within the movieclip to a specific frame.

After i lick 'next 'button, movie 2 will be show .Beside that,if i click 'previous' button, movie 1 will be show. i facing a problem that my previous button is not back to my previous loaded movie but is trace my choices in arrays backward. The next problem is, my first movie load to the second movie load will be a bit lagging. but the rest 1 is ok.
View 14 RepliesJust finally making the transition from AS2 to AS3.All i need to do at this point is make two buttons which will control the movie to goto next frame and previous frame. I have gotten how to make the buttons go to a specified frame number and also a button to go to a specified external url but no success in making a simple next/previous pair of buttons.
stop();

If I have say 7 buttons, each containing text that changes color on rollover using the "Up" "Over" and "Down" keyframes in the buttons' timeline. Is there a simple way to get the button's text to change color when clicked, stay that way, and then change back to the original color once one of the other 6 buttons are clicked?
The only thing I can come up with is writing pages of code for each button that changes the color of every other button regardless of whether it was active.
i was making asimple menu .
ActionScript Code:
var currentLink:MovieClip = a_mc;
//buttons mode[code]...........
when i click on the button the alpha of this button will be 0.5 , when i click on another button the alpha of the previous button is still 0.5 , and so if i clicked on all buttons the alpha of all buttons will be 0.5,,,i didn't want that , i want when i click on the button , alpha return to 1 for the previous button .
I am completely new to this with flash and action script. I checked the Flash MP3 Player tutorial and I wonder how I'm doing a previous button and a volume scrolling button in action script?
View 1 RepliesI'm loading in 5 jpegs from an external file using "loadMovie" and i have 5 corresponding buttons (1-5) to load them with.
I want to change the jpeg the button loads in depending whether a separate navigation button has been pressed -
i.e.
navigation buttons:
-motorbike pics
-car pics
-lorry pics
If a user clicked on "car pics" then the loading buttons 1 to 5 would load "car1.jpg", "car2.jpg" and so on...
similarly if the user clicked on "lorry pics", the same loading buttons 1 to 5 would load "lorry1.jpg" and "lorry2.jpg"
I have a gallery of 3-4 pages that I have added nextFrame and prevFrame navigation to successfully but now I'd like to add some simple transitions to make it look more slick- like a fade or a fly (this is for a website, if all I needed was the buttons I could have just made them links in Dreamweaver).[code]
View 0 RepliesSo I have a frame labeled 'init' and a button called _exit. I want _exit on click to keep going back until it reaches 'init'
I'm guessing something like this but it doesn't work:
[AS]_exit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , function(e:Event):void
{
if(currentFrame!='init'){
gotoAndPlay(currentFrame-1)
}
});

I'm tryin to create a button that sort of "rewinds" but it doesn't have to show the rewind- all i want it to do is jump back to the previous frame with a stop action on it. So kind of like a "back" or "previous" button.It's been a while since I have programmed a lot and I forget everything
View 9 RepliesI am trying to create a function that does something depending on what frame label it was coming from.

do something

I have an image sequence on my timeline in Flash.I also have two buttons: forwards-button and backwards-button.I would like the timeline to play constantly forward, when the mouse is held over the forwards button.And I would like the timeline to play constantly backwards when the mouse is held over the backwards button.My attempts so far have failed: I can get the button to work only for one step at a time (and then I need to bring the mouse on and off the button again for it to move to the next frame).I need to have the sequence play forwards/ backwards the whole time that the mouse is over the button.
View 6 RepliesI'm making an app in flash as3, but there is a bug in my code. (i guess)
-I can go from frame 1 --> frame 2
-I can go from frame 2 --> frame 3
If i try to go from, let's say frame 3 --> 2, I get this message:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.Why cant I go to a previous frame on my timeline?
i know there is no function for it, but how could i do this?
View 13 RepliesIs there a way to recall a variable from a previous frame? I have a variable that was mathematically calculated in frame 3, that variable was then used in a dynamic text field. The problem I am facing is that the text field then disappears in frame 4. The only solution I can think of is reposting the text field in frame 4 but I am having trouble recalling the variable from the previous frame.
View 4 RepliesI have a flash movie with 11 frames and 5 layers. Each of the frames has AS attached to it and all of them start with:
stop();
Now the frame labeled "play" has a button on it, that onRelease sends the movie to the next frame with: gotoAndStop("spin");
That frame further more send it to one of the other frames at random with another gotoAndStop(), which have a stop() and a sendAndLoad on them.
However once it's reached this point, if you roll your mouse over the movie, it flickers and shows flashes of the "play" frame (the one with the button on it).
I can't figure it out, none of the movie clips or buttons in the movie have any actionscript attached to them.
I've tried to delete four of the layers and only keeping the one with the action script on it (and keyframes on every frame). But still it does it.
This seems pretty basic but for some reason I absolutely can't get it to work. I have a set of buttons which I want to be able to send their parent movie to the next or previous frame. I want to use a NEXT and PREVIOUS button, both combined within a single movieclip, to tell a parent file to go to next and previous frame.
This doesn't work:
previous_btn.onRelease = function(){
this._parent.prevFrame;
} next_btn.onRelease = function(){
this._parent.nextFrame;
