I have recently upgraded to FlashCS5, but i am still working in Actionscript2.
I have a simple document, and on a button click i have several different things that appear, i am wondering though if i can get them to come in one at a time, instead of all together, but still clicking on the same button.
Basically, I have a button and on click it displays a menu. I want to click that menu a second time and the menu closes. Currently, every time you click the button, the menu reopens. I pasted the Flex livedoc example below. If you click the button, the menu keeps reopening.Now, I rigged it up by setting a var to open and closed, so when clicking the button it does a check. However, if you click away from the screen, the HIDE event gets dispatched, and the menu closes. This messed up the open close var being set.
How could I make this Flex example below show the menu on button click, and then on a second button click, it closes the menu? Take into affect that if you click away from the menu, it closes it.Also, I played around with the MOUSE_DOWN_OUTSIDE event for the button and set the preventDefault, and the FlexMouseEvent event.cancelable is set to false.Changing to a PopUpMenuButton is not an option. I have to much skinning involved.Here is the Flex example:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
// Import the Menu control.
import mx.controls.Menu;

View 1 RepliesHow a button can be deleted during run time by mouse right click.
View 3 RepliesBelow I have a counter program. the counter starts running once i open the swf file. Now I need to place a button where i can get the static session time like say 00:01:50 in a text box telling " You have been logged for+time+time. I dont have any idea how i can get the locked timer. The timer goes on running. I want the static time to be displayed when i click on the exit button too. Because exit button opens a page where this time will be displayed, so the user knows how long he has spent on my swf.
Code:
//initial variables
var timing:Boolean = false;

This movie clip has a combo box inside.On another layer i have a button, when you click on this button i attach a movie clip (attatchMovie), this is the same movieclip i attached before on the first frame of SCRIPT layer.Here is the problem, when you click on the button for second time the movieclip attached go to coordinates 0,0.but, if a open the movieclip and delete the combobox everything works fine.Im including a very simple fla file to illstrate the problem, feel free to download it to see what im talking about.

We are just starting out with Flash CS4 and we are looking to have 4 pages or maybe we should stay stages.
1. Text and Buttons (buttons will take you to a bigger description of the text)
2. Similar to 1st page
3. Similar
4. Actions that the buttons will be calling for
We are thinking that with the 3 pages, the 4th page if we have that in layers, the layers and show seperate actions we request from our buttons. And then an example would be on page 1 they hit a button that would bring up a 540X400 graphic. And another button might bring up the same type but a different picture and I am figuring if they are on different layers we can do it this way.
i am try to create a button that contain username and password fields, i have used the following code for the password field:
String.prototype.isWhiteSpace = function() {
return ((this != undefined && this.length>0) ? (this.split(" ").join("").length == 0 ? b=true : b=false) : (b=false));
};
var UserName = "";

View 9 RepliesI have read all threads and can not find a solution but i am not somebody with a lots of knowledge about actionscript so here is my problem i am using this script .

the problem is that when i click on the first button loads ok but when click on second still showing the first movie clip in the back ,,,,, i have try everything without luck ,,,, i guess i need to keep reading but will like to find an answer to this situation ,
I created a movieclip animation that only activates when i rollover the movieclip button. I further extended the frames and created another frame animation that i active only when user clicks the button. So i have a roll over/out animation and click animation in the same movieclip in the same layer. Now the problem is that when i click on the button, its supposed to take me to another page, and it does, unfortunately without the click animation. That means after i click on the button its supposed to first finish the click animation and then go to another page. But when i click, it takes me to another page without showing the click animation
SO I tried the If function, but i seem to make a mistake somewhere and i dont know what to do. Now there is no error in script, but onw there is a problem in link, the button finishes the click animation but it does not go to the tarrgeted"about" frame. here's the code

im making a flash upload thingy for my site, it has options to set the expiry time of the file, each time has a button which needs to be made from an array (which comes forma php script, not really relevent)... here is my code..

i know the x values are too small but they should still all appear on the stage right ?, only the final item in the array appears...i think i might be replacing the previous one with the new one.
I am building a flash interface and I would like a menu where it is hidden to begin with (just a tab). You click the tab to expand it, and click again to collapse it. I've made a movieclip with animation of the menu opening up and closing, but I can't seem to work out how I'd go about making the movieclip open and close properly.

View 1 RepliesI have a test button i would like to have play a movie where a graphic expands. Once stopped, I would like to be able to click that same button and have the graphic go backwards. I would prefer to have timeline reverse, rather than lengthen the timeline of the mc because then i have to line up the start and end, and if one changes, i have to remember to change the other.
btn_test.onRelease = function(){ if (_root.adinstance._currentframe != 1) { while(_root.adinstance._currentframe != 1) { _root.adinstance.prevFrame(); else { _root.adinstance.play(); }}

I am trying to work out this issue in as3 and I'm sure its simple but can't seem to get my head around it. If anyone can see a sollution I would be very happy to hear from you.

i have created a button on first frame which calls second frame which consist of a movieclipnd i have a code which make a thing inside that movie clip to walk aroundthe problem is that when i click the button on first frame i should directly land on second frame(which happens) and as soon as i press arrow keys that object within the movieclip should move(which does not happen until i click on that movieclip) how can i get rid of click it again as we see in many game
View 3 RepliesOne of my objects is an orange ball so when I click on it the first time it will change to yellow color and I want it to remain yellow, and then when I click on it the second time it should change to green and remain green.And finally when I click on it the third time it should go back to its original color. So what I'm trying to say is that I can chooses which color ball I want. So do I use an if statement, that says if click one time then change to yellow? I mean is there such a thing as how many times you clicked, in mouse events?
View 2 RepliesI have to make a timer that starts off set at one minute and plays an animation mapped to the time remaining in the timer. I need it to start and stop on a button press, and once it has gone through the minute, I need to be able to add time to it and start it again (with the animation mapped to the new amount of time) by clicking and dragging (or maybe with a slider). I have the basic functions down, but I can't figure out how to get it to start over with the time added by dragging. Here is my code so far:

I'm trying to figure out a way to have one button perform a function if the mouse is "clicked" and perform another if it is "held down". In my example I have the functionality of each working the way I want, but I can't seem to get them to work together (one is commented out right now). I've searched many forums and haven't found the answer, I'm sure it's there just not having luck putting my finger on it.
The only way I can think is with a timer - but a forum member I read somewhere said that was "Ghetto". Plus, I'm not sure I how to make that work right now anyway.See attached for a working version of what I have, or code below...
ActionScript Code:
var myNum:int = 2;

I have a text box layer on top of the talk bubble. At first it is blank, then I click on Hello Kitty and a random phrase pops up in the text box from the array I created. However, when I click her again she will not say another random phrase. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Here is the code.
var myPhrases:Array = new Array(); // HELLO KITTY PHRASES FOR TALK BUBBLE
myPhrases[0]="My name is Hello Kitty!";
myPhrases[1]="How are you today?";

I'm creating a video player that have 2 ways of playing the video file. 1st is by streaming. Will play the file directly on each click/ 2nd, is by preloading the video. And only plays it when its fully loaded. But while its preloading, I could still able to click on others video as well to preload the videos and put them on queue for playing.
Currently I'm on the 2nd stage. The problem I'm facing now is it only plays the sound bout not the video. And it overlaps. I'm not sure I have to duplicate the NetConnection or NetStream like how we usually do to duplicate some MovieClip.
ActionScript Code:
public function set newVideo(v:String):void
{
currentStatus = "play";

View 2 RepliesLately I am getting quite frustrated by the fact that Click in Flash is basically mouse down and up (staying in the same object). I would like to add further limits like time and movement to validate a click. How to do it cleanly? I did a check with mouse down/move/up but got some issues, how to do it successfully (and tested).

View 2 RepliesIf 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.
