I have a menu with button objects in As3. I want to display the page where user is and for this I must show buttons' over state (which is mc) when flash loads. I'm sending the page parameter to flash. I just need to play the movie clip inside the specific button. Looking for something like:
btn1.m1.gotoAndPlay(1); or btn1.m1.play();
I'm working on a Flash project using ActionScript 3.
Our interface switches between different modes by adding and removing the direct children of the main stage--we call these scenes.
The problem I've encountered is this: One of these scenes has a SimpleButton (flash.display.SimpleButton) with distinct up and over states. When I mouseover a button, it goes to the over state as expected. But if the application automatically switches to a new scene (in this case, a video finishes and the app moves on) and then the user navigates back (causing the original scene to be re-added), the button stays in the over state until I mouse back in and then out again. I'd like to be able to force that button back into its up state.
I've tried setting b.overState = b.upState, but then there's no appearance change on subsequent rollovers. I've also tried dispatching a ROLL_OUT event to the button object, but that doesn't do anything either.
other than implementing something from scratch that exposes a way to force a state change?
I'm currently working on editing the pages on my website but for some reason these errors are apearing. Also some of the text that should be on the .swf disapears. Any help will be apreciated
This is error I am getting:

how to make a SimpleButton stay in its down state?
View 2 RepliesI am looking for a way to trigger the downState of my SimpleButton using my KEY_DOWN event. I am hoping there is a way to do this without having to switch this to a MovieClip custom button.

The actionButton is my SimpleButton. I have tried dispatcing the CLICK event and MOUSE_DOWN event but neither has worked.
I'm loading a random quote from an xml file. No problem with it.I want a button that refreshes the quote when pressed.[code]I returns: Property data not found on flash.display.SimpleButton and there is no default value.I've tried to convert the button "Again" to a movieclip but it doesn't work.

I have a map of the United States. Each state is currently gray. Each state is a symbol, and I can color them individually...but I don't want to.
I have a list of simple links that come from an xml file.
<record>
<state>Montana</state>
<category>Northern</category>
[Code]....
The list of links comes from <question>. There are about forty of these. All responses are either yes or no.
If the National Park link is clicked, I want the map to display with all states whose response to this question is yes to be colored blue.
I have some code running a media player and pulling multiple xml lists in depending on what button is pressed. What I would like to do is display button feedback state (to show what section is being played) based a click.I am thinking that I could create a conditional statement based on last button clicked but not 100%.

I am using this collapsible panel - link. Unfortunately, I have a problem using it with application states. I have a state where this panel is visible, when I switch to this state, this panel shows, when I click on it, it opens and its content shows. If I switch to another state (this panel is removed from display), and then switch back to the previous state, the collapsible panel stays open, but its content disappears. In other words, the collapsible panel's content doesn't persist through states. Anyone know what the problem is? Or is there another collapsible panel that can work around this issue?
View 2 RepliesBasically I am trying to do a Flash (AS 2.0) application that connects a FMS server. That isn't the problem, though. The problem is that when I click a button (myBtnEn) it changes a Bool variable to true, and if I click another button (myBtnDis) it changes the same Bool variable to false. The problem is:I want to display that variable's state in a Dynamic Text Box that is inside 1 Movie Clip and it doesn't change/display a thing else than when is loaded.[code]as you can imagine the code for myBtnDis is the same but "false" in the place of "true".myBoolStatus : name of the VARIABLE in the Dynamic Text Box.I have tried to name the Dynamic Text Box (for example "myBoolStatusP") and then add the ".text = " code but still the same.

I have two flash files (say screenOne.fla and gameA.fla). After importing the main symbol of screenOne.fla into gameA.fla as a movieclip symbol (call it screenOneSymb), the simple buttons in the instance of screenOneSymb do not work. By "do not work" I mean they have no rollover, not mouse action, nothing. If I go into the edit "screenOneSymb" in gameA.fla and turn on "Control->enable simplebuttons" the buttons will work while in edit "screenOneSymb" but not on the main flash stage. I've worked around it, but this is driving me crazy. How do I import multi-layered movieclip symbols (with buttons and animations, etc, etc) and get them to work out of the box?
View 4 RepliesWhen trying to get my head around another problem I have with altering content depending on whether the displayState is normal or fullScreen, I tried to set up a feedback/debug box that would send me messages about the displayState. I created a textbox with dynamic text and gave it a variable name, and then wrote a little AS2 tidbit as follows:
if (Stage["displayState"]="normal") { textbox = ("you're in normal mode");} else { textbox = ("you're in fullscreen mode");}
When I start the movie and am in normal mode then I get the correct message but when I hit a button to toggle true fullscreen on then the normal message stays on screen.
this may be a basic thing, but i couldn't find an answer by serching internet. I have created a simple button - Istance name = "btnsample"and there are two layers layer 0- button design with rollovers - layer 1- dynamic text field - instance name = "txtbtnlabel"btnsample.txtbtnlabel.text = "new button label;but it's giving followin error :-119:Access of possible undefined propety txtbtnlabel through a reference with static type flash.display:simpleButton.
View 2 RepliesI've created a Button in Adobe Flash CS5, it's a Symbol, and its type has been set to Button.
The button has a dynamic textfield with the instance name label.
I've set the class of this Button to MenuButton, and I've set the class to Export for ActionScript.
This is the code of the MenuButton class:
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
import flash.text.TextField;
[Code]....
Whenever I put a string in MenuButton's constructor, label's text doesn't change.
I have a flash map that contains 51 movieClips, one for each state.Sample instanceName for a state (Alabama) would be: S_01
I have a XML record that contains specific info for each state.<stateID>01</stateID
I am trying to link the stateID's in the XML record to the state movieClips that make up the map.var stateInstanceName = 'S_' + stateID;
I was just trying to do a simple trace command to see if I could pull the _width of each state clip to see if I was linked up:
trace(mapInstance.stateInstanceName._width)
It's my understanding that view states can be useful when switching the layout of design elements. Such as, a loading page as one state and the main application design in another state. Is this the correct use of them? Additionally, I have a label in State1 and I cannot figure out how to access that label via actionscript. labelID.text = "New Text"; is not working.
