I have a 3 screen project and there are two buttons on each screen that have to be able to enable the user to jump to the appropriate screens when clicked on. I am totally new to flash and I have tried off and on for a couple weeks to figure this out in various books and online. I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
View 1 RepliesI have a movie clip with 15 frames. Each frame has buttons on it (mc's)... I was going to put the actions on the main timeline/stage and navigate within the MC from the main timeline. Is that possible? I can get the buttons on the first frame of the MC to work, but I can't seem to figure out how to target/make the buttons on the other frames work? I was thinking I could identify the path of the MC with the frame labels, but that doesn't seem to work. like: _root.RMChanger.(frame label).buttonOnFrame = function
I have to move a text box in and out over the MC backgrounds on the main stage... which is why I was thinking to do it this way? I've been switching back and forth bwtween AS2.0 and 3.0
Is there anyway of changing an integer of 100, into a 1, 0 and another 0?In context, I've got game with a score. Every time you pick up a coin, it adds 10 to the score, there's 20 coins (so a max score of 200 possible). I've got numbers 0-9 as seperate images. The score currently is a single three digit integer, and I need it to be represented as three single digit integers so I can assign those to an image.

I have a flash that I am trying to make the buttons/links towork on and no matter what I do they just do not work. I have many hours into it so far and just had no success weather using my CS3 how to book of the forums information.I not sure what I am missing. Never had this much trouble before. the first one I tried is HOME, have not gone farther since I can make the 1st one work.[URL]..
View 1 RepliesI have a movie clip with text and buttons in it linked to a scrollpane.The movie clip shows up just fine in the scrollpane, but the buttons won't work when clicked.If button script is in the main timeline, an error message says the buttons are an undefined property.If button code is in the movie clip timeline, there's no error code but the buttons simply don't work.
View 0 RepliesI have the following problem / bug:
I made a custom button-class (called CustomBlitButton) where a button is defined. The roll over-states of the button are defined inside of the class CustomScreen. That's because a custom screen holds one or more buttons. I can create a button when using the createButton-function of the CustomScreen-class.
So if I want to make a screen with a menu, i.e. several buttons I do this like that (this is just an excerpt):

I have buttons inside/on window01/mc that are still active/clickable when the opacity is 0, I basically have a area on my website that if you click it opens the window corresponding to the button. how do I stop this? I only want the buttons to work when window01 is opacity 100.
[URL]
just click in the blank black area below the nav bar and the window will appear. The normal way to get to this window is click products than the buttons.
Code:
import gs.TweenLite;
btn06.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,f2);
function f2(e:Event){
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.jmoneyaudio.com/"), "_self");

I have a container mc called lightBoxCont that I load a class into
Code:
lbx.initLightBox(12, Number(slideIndex), urls, titleText);
lightBoxCont.addChild(lbx);
when the user clicks on a thumbnail the user can close the lightbox by clicking on a button like this
Code:
this.removeChild(lightBoxCont);
This all works (or seems to). If the user then clicks on another thumbnail the light box appears again, but the buttons don't work. These were added in the class lightbox.
Interestingly if I trace teh number of children that lbx has I find that each time the user presses on a thumbnail it goes up. First time its about 30, next time its about 60, next time its 90 and so on.I think this is causing the problem with the buttons not working.
I'm new to flash and have been trying to figure out the correct software to use to make a video for the front of our corporate website. I want it to look like what is found on www.athenahealth.com, but can't seem to find the software the does this. Is it Adobe Flash? I haven't been able to figure out how they make it with viewer controls (elapsed time, pause, etc) and embeds seamlessly in the website (as opposed to the videos that pop up in a lightbox).
Can anyone provide any insight into the software used by Athena Health on this site?
I am trying to make an index page with buttons for a photography site.the entire page is built in flash so far. I have created a drop down menu that is a Movieclip with 5 buttons.I can not seem to assign an external web page to each buttons that are under the movie clip drop down menu. Is this a possible? The Movie clip is run by mouse-over the word "studio Gallery" button. This drops down the 5 gallerbuttons (Portrait, children, wedding, Artistic Babies, etc...). In Flash 8 Pro I know I can assign an external web page named children on the main page but how do I assign these to the buttons in the drop down once the movieclip is made. Is this where I need to use folders with extra layers in the folder to make it work?
View 6 RepliesI just started using flash and Im hoping someone with more experience can help me out. When I add the stop code to frame one to stop the timeline on my homepage, the buttons Ive set up in my navigation bar do not work. But, if I do not have the stop code in the timeline, the buttons will work correctly. Without the stop code, though, obviously the whole timeline plays through and doesn't stop on the homepage, which is not desirable. So how do I stop the timeline on the homepage and still have my buttons work?

View 11 RepliesI am having trouble with a job I am doing at the moment which has an mc with buttons within it. I want it so that when I roll over the mc it tweens from a small version to a larger version, and on this mc there are some buttons. At the moment I can get the mc to move but the buttons remain inactive and also the rollover states on the buttons don't work. I have attached a simpler version of what I am trying to do to this post.
View 3 RepliesI'm having problems with the flash buttons on the flash website i made for a client. or some reason the buttons in the top and bottom menu work on some people's computers but on some they don't. I don't know what to do, i had this code for all the buttons,
on (release) {
getURL("http://legaldepartment.ca/","_self");
}
and they worked on my computer but on others the buttons didn't work at all so i added this code to each button also
on(press) {
_root.getURL("http://legaldepartment.ca/","self");
}
and they still work on my computer and some other people's computers but still some they don't work on some people's computers.
I am using Flash CS4 with actionscript 2 to create an interacitve portfolio.I have 2 text buttons that work when I test them with "enable simple buttons." When I publish to IE these buttons won't work. I have created over 50 buttons using the same methods, they all work.
View 8 RepliesI have a button object that I need to scale to align with the variable width of an array of images.However, when I set the width in code, the button does not actually become that width. Tracing out the width gives me the correct value, but on screen.. it's off.
I've proved it to myself by scaling the same button object manually in the properties pane and visually comparing. Both of the buttons below have a width of 410.
Code:
navigatorDown_btn.width = 410;
navigatorDown_btn.x = (stage.stageWidth/2)-(navigatorDown_btn.width/2);
trace(navigatorDown_btn.width); // output: 410
I'm trying to make a menu that has onRelease buttons on top of onRollover buttons (the onReleases are on a separate layer from the onRollovers). The onRelease buttons take the user to different urls, and the onRollover buttons are supposed to allow different parts of the menu to appear.
The onRelease buttons work fine, but I can't get the onRollover buttons to work consistently. Sometimes the onRollover buttons will correctly advance to a different frame, and sometimes they "stick" and do not advance. The script has no errors and I've tried changing the sizes of the onRollover buttons (in case they were too large and the cursor was hovering over more than 1 at the same time), changing the order of the code for the onRelease and onRollover commands (in case the onRollovers were being superseded by the onRelease commands), and countless variations of the layers and frames.
I'm sure that you'll want to see the script, but I don't think that pasting it all on this post would be reasonable? So I've put the .fla and the .swf on this page for reference: [URL]

I am trying to make a sprite button with graphics and can't make it work. I have successfully added text fields so I know the path is correct. I suspected my code was correct and confirmed it should be, after reading several tutorials showing the process for creating sprite buttons with graphics. Anyway, I imported nearly every class on Earth, but certainly everything which needs to be. Stage is gray and 800x600.The graphics code by itself with appear, but not when linked to the sprite. Also, the sprite won't appear no matter what. Another interesting piece of the puzzle: nothing will trace, not even objects such as textfields which actually appear and function on the stage when I text the code.
public class ContactClass extends Sprite {
public function ContactClass() {
var home_btn:Sprite = new Sprite();[code]....
I had a complete interactive application built in ActionScript 2.0, and now need to revise and update it -- which means converting the old code to 3.0. The first scene is a preloader for the entire application that loads and intro animation before launching the application. I went to the help section figuring that once I had some actionScript in the file, I could delete and experiment with the code until I began to understand (I did take a semester long course in Java, but not much has been retained). If you couldn't tell already, I'm a designer and not a programmer.
I copied the ActionScript from the help section, and pasted it into my Flash document. I went to test movie and got the following error message: "1037: Packages cannot be nested" I can't even figure out what that means! I have nothing else in my document.

I have a little math problem with a game I'm making, and I can't for the life of me figure out the formula needed to accomplish something..Say, there's a sniping game, and a BIG image that must scroll from left to right according to the mouse movement.
Something like this:[URL]... In that example, the scene is 550 pixels wide, and the image is 1100, exactly two times the scene, so the formula is kinda easy..
[Code]...
the center of the image would be at x 1500, way over to the right of the scene, outside it, but it would fit inside the screen, like this (the blue square represents the real size of the scene):[URL]..Then when the mouse is at the far right side, that is 550 x, the image center should be at -950 x, like this:[URL]...

I had a project requirement which was to stream video to people across the globe (max 100 simultaneous connections) and i was under the impression that a single HTTP server is sufficient. However, a friend of mine said i will have to use an FMS server. How does this basically work ?
If i record video from my webcam and store it for future consumption, where will it be stored ? On my site server ? or on the FMS server What is so special about an FMS server ? Can i turn any server into an FMS server I read somewhere that streaming video via my own server does not allow the user to jump to a particular part in a video. Is this true If the requirement is to stream live video to people, how does this work ? Does the video from the source (webcam) get transferred to my server and then to the FMS server or directly to the FMS server I'm pretty confused about the FMS server concept and some articles or links would really help too, however your expert answers will be invaluable

View 1 RepliesI am currently trying to figure out a circular alignment problem. so if you look at the following code, it works perfect without the positioning section. All the data is being loaded from a database and when the user clicks on the mc which houses this code in its second frame, it accesses the database and if there are more rows in the database whose owner column matches the name of the clip it will add more circles to the stage and then use other data received from the database to edit it such as its colour. But what I am also trying to do is align the newly added circles in a circular pattern around the mc (when clicked the mc will be centred on the stage.

I am trying to create a game where random figures are revealed. These random figures relate to a list of monetary amounts on the same page. As a number is revealed the corrisponding amount on the page is then deleted, hopefully with a bit of fade, movement, jazzed up a little.I cannot work out a code in order to do it. The code below is how I randomise the hidden amounts via a button.
on (release) {
deck0 = "1p";
deck1 = "10p";
deck2 = "50p";
[code]....
The random amounts are hidden behind a button, when clicked reveals that amout.
