#1. How do I get a movie to close after it has played?
#2. In my menu I have 8 links. I'd like to have 7 links disappear when the user rolls over the 1 link. How would I make the other 7 disappear when the user is rolled over 1?
I have my main page with all my links(all links are small squares), I want to be able to click the link and have it expand the square to a small window that a MC loads into so its like a new page within the old page. Also I want everything draggable which i can do now. I need to be able to close that window as well so the user can open a new window.

I'm using AS2. I have an ordinary FLV video playing with one of the skins that comes with the Flash software (CS3). That all works perfectly fine. What I need to do, however, is add a large "PLAY" button over top of the movie. I have made that work also. But, I need the button to disappear when the movie starts playing, because it is obviously in the way and making it hard to view the video.
Some forums suggested making that button disappear when it is clicked. That would be fine, except that the video player skin also has a play button, and if someone clicks that button instead of my new large button, I still need the large button to disappear.
So what I'm trying to figure out how to do is something like: if the FLV is playing, make this object (the button) disappear or become invisible. This can't be that difficult!
I have buttons on my website, that wont disappear even though i tell them to, it is really srange.

View 2 RepliesI want the cursor to disappear when it rolls over an object, then reappear when it rolls off. It works when I run it in Flash, it works when I view the html in Internet Explorer, it DOESN'T work in Netscape. The cursor disappears and doesn't come back till you move it out of the navigator window. Here's the code:
on (rollOver) {
loadMovie("movie.swf", place);
mouse.hide();
} on (rollOut) {
loadMovie("blank_movie.swf", place);
mouse.show();
}

Ok ... so i think this is related to bitmap caching however the "this" is a dynamically created object that then dynamically has a .jpg placed inside of it. I want the object to disappear on rollOver and go back to normal onRollOut. But i can't figure out how to assign bitmap caching to the dynamic jpeg or this.movieClip as they are both dynamic.
Is there a way to make my video skin disappear after my streaming video is done playing. I want my movie to play, then disappear, because behind that movie, I have a button for the user to click on to go further into my swf.

I have a flash document (Actionscript-3) with play button on top of a image, and an audio is played when the button is clicked. How do I make the play button disappear when it is clicked and audio is playing. The button should reappear after the audio has finished playing.
View 1 Replies[URL] I finally figured out how to get my rollover links to work, but now I need to figure out how to make the bottom links move. For example, when we rollover the Arizona Link, we want the California and Contact Us links to move BELOW the Arizona rollovers. And same thing for when the California link is rolled over, we want the Contact Us link to move BELOW the California roll overs. I feel like it's just a matter of simple code manipulation where I have the rollover code for the individual links, the code I have is below:

I am creating a flash website that is pretty much loading everything externally. I have some links that are loaded in by xml and I would like for them to change color when you rollover them. Ok I will give you the full actionscript and then the few excerpts from that actionscript where I think it should go, but hey I could be wrong it hasn't worked for me yet. heh.
Code:
stop();

I'm in the process of learning OOP and have run into a small problem. I'm trying to create a basic menu system where you can rollover and rollout of all links. When you select a link, it stays highlighted until you click another link.I've given the 5 links instance names like (link0, link1, link2, link3, link4) and given them each an ID of (0,1,2,3,4) - respectively. I used to be able to do something like this:
Code:
this.onRollOver = function(){
if(this.ID != _root.selectedLink){
this.gotoAndPlay('in');
}

I have a scrolling dynamic text box that has a list of links in it. They all have a different link added for each line in the list but I have been asked to make them change colour on rollover. Normally I would just create a button and rollover but I can't as the text is scrolling. Is there a way of adding AS2 or even css that means I can make each link change colour on RollOver?
View 2 RepliesI know I can make an array if all the buttons would have a unified code executable change, i.e. they would become larger and brighter.
My problem is that each button represents an product image in the lights off stage, then of rollover it is a lights on stage so I have to import two images in the on and off stage and play around with the opacity.Additional problem is that each button has to ling to a different label.
My question is: is it possible to unify the code if buttons have that much individuality or I have to make each one of them as in the example below.
// makes a hand cursor appear over a mc acting as a button for all the buttons inside the scrollpnaeBckgrnd_mc.scrollpaneBckgrnd_btns_mc.
MovieClip(mc_pane2.content).scrollpaneBckgrnd_mc.scrollpaneBckgrnd_btn s_mc.buttonMode = true;

I have a movie clip that I have coded to be (alpha 0), on rollover play movie clip (alpha-1), then on rollout alpha goes back to 0. So the rollover alpha part and rollout back to alpha 0 works great, but on rollover the mc is not playing?
My buttons are play_btn (rollover) and stop_btn (rollout), and the movie clip is steam_mc.
Here's the code:
stop();
steam_mc.alpha = 0
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onOver);

How do I stop a Flash SWF movie when the playhead is at the end and then have the new window that presents the movie close automatically. However, the most important feature would be to stop the movie to keep it from continuously looping.
View 2 RepliesI am building a page with multiple clips. I have created script to open each of the clips. I have placed a button on one of the clips with the flollowing script
close_coltxt_btn.onRelease= function(){
gotoAndPlay("1");
}
stop();
this executes the action correctly however it "1" being scene 1 already has the clip open so aftre it closes the clip it reopens the clip. I have a demo build at [URL] go to belmacil products/eyelash and brow tints the page mas multiple buttons down the right side. I have only applied this script to the "1 Black" movie clip.
Is there a way to detect that uses has closed a browser window movie is located in from the flash itself (not from javascript)

View 3 RepliesI've got a simple rotating banner and would like to have an mp3 play if someone rolls over the banner and stop if they move their mouse away. I grabbed some code from this forum and placed it on my button instance but it's not working. Here are the working files: [URL]. I've "linked" the mp3 file and given it the ID of "makin" and posted the following actionscript on the button instance:
Actionscript Code:
// button actionson (rollOver){
// creates a new object from Sound classyourSound = new Sound();
// attach the 'idSound' named from libraryyourSound.attachSound("makin");

I have built a movie clip on my main flash file that I am loading separate swfs into. On the separate swfs I have a close button, but do not know what action script to attach to it to make the movie clip go away? I want these to go away every time you hit the close button on the separate Flash swfs loading into the main movie clip.

View 3 RepliesI created a website with 4 movie clips; home (at Frame 10), (gallery at Frame 20), about (at Frame 30), contact (at Frame 40). I have a short opening and closing animation that I want to play when you click between the movie clips.
I can easily put the opening animation in a frame before each movie clip, but I'm having trouble with the closing animation. I guess I can create 3 separate closing movies on each movie clip but that is tedious. Is there a code that will allow a closing animation to play then direct you to the movie clip that you chose? -no matter which movie you are on and clicing to.
I'm guessing this is some kind of function that will be attached to my 4 button instances.Currently I have simple gotoAndPlay code to control the navigation, like this code to go from home to the gallery at Frame20:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
butn_home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(20);
}
I'm using AS2 (Flash CS3). I have an invisible button that on rollover should play a movie clip. Within that movie clip I need it to play frame 33. However, when I use the following code it does absolutely nothing. Instance name of the movie clip is "flavorIcons".
on (rollOver) {
flavorIcons.gotoandPlay(33);
}
Here is my class, but when I rollover the button, especially near the edge of the button the sound plays continuously. I have tried to set up a boolean variable and set it true after the sound plays and false on mouse out and only play when false, but that didn't work either... I was thinking about setting up a timer to handle it, but I wanted to make sure there wasn't something simpler I was missing first.

This is a project I am working on for my job's website. When you rollover the red dots I want the wave animation to play but I also want words to come up in the blue bar describing the location of that specific dot (e.g. Singapore), but I dont want the wave animation itself to have rollover because that causes problems. Right now the "dot" button has a "hit" area that plays the wave movieclip so the wave doesnt have a rollover property. I tried just adding another rollover property to the whole "dot" movieclip that would display the descriptions, but that made it where the wave mc wouldnt play on rollover. I also want the wave to play out in its entirety, not disappear as soon as you rollout.

If you go to the above link and make your way to the menu, you will see that a black arrow flashes when you hover over a button. Then when you click it, it moves the next page, however when you click the menu button to go back, the black arrow will still be flashing, instead of returning to its first button state. The main menu is removed before it procedes to the next screen, like so:
Code:
public function confSubMenuOneScreen():void {
subMenuOneScreen = new SubMenuOne();
removeChild(mainmenu)[code].....
