I'm obviously a Flash novice. I have a simple movie that I need to modify. On click (or double click) I need to have a web site open in a new window. I am using CS4. I have tried adding a button and associating action script with it. I usually get a message saying that action script cannot be applied to the highlighted object.
View 5 RepliesI have a program where I have several different movie clips, some on top of one another. And when I click I want the one I clicked and two or three others to switch places so the others underneath show. I can do this, but only for one movie clip. I can't make any other movie clip clickable without having an error saying I am redefining function clickListener.

View 1 RepliesI'm making a sort of easter egg hunt on a forum and would like to put the "eggs" in a small flash movies. But it should only be possible for one person to click the "egg" after that it dosn't show anymore (transperant movie).
I proberly need the movie to talk to an external file, but how do I do that?
So I have a movie clip called signInBtn and one called signOutBtn initially,
signOutBtn.visible = false;
but when a user signs in
signInBtn.visible = false;
signOutBtn.visible = true;
But after I do that, I can't click the signOut movieclip. I thought it might be because the signOutBtn was under the invisible signInBtn but that is not the case.
I made a help screen that pops up when the user clicks the "help" button. To accomplish this, I place the movieclip on the top layer, and set it's _visible to false. When the user clicks "help", visible = true, and BAM, help screen appears. The problem is that all of the buttons underneath my helpPage movieclip are still clickable.

Right now I have it so that if I click any where on the stage then it gets deleted, and thats good, but I want to beable to play a different frame in the movieclip i am clicking on.heres my code so far:

I am making a website and am new to Flash and AS3. My site consists of 5 movieclip buttons. The buttons are programmed to move left or right depending on which button is open currently. I recently added a function that removes the eventListeners of these buttons so that you cannot click them while the tweens are happening (I was having major tween issues: stopped tweens etc) and then adds the listeners back when the tweens are done. However, after clicking through the site for a little while the active, clickable area of the button changes! I have no clue why this would be happening.

This was not an issue before I created the function that removes the listeners so I assume that is the problem, but have no clue as to why. I am attaching the code for the tween functions for moveLeft and moveRight, the remove listeners function, and one button function.
I have a movie clip (scrollBar) in my site that contains a line of other movie clips moving across the stage (scrollContent1-4). Only two of these are visible at a time, so I have lined them all up, repeated the first two at the end, and have the animation looping.
I want each of the scrollContent1-4 clips to be clickable. It's all fine on the first loop, but once the clip reaches the end and returns to frame 1 the clips are no longer clickable.
So I am working on an interactive piece that requires the use of pre rendered 3D animation clips with transparency. what I was curious about is... Would it be better to export the video as a series of PNGs (the longest is about 600 frames long) and import those into my movie clip or should I export the video as an FLV that is close to 400 Mb in size? Or am I completely missing a a better way to get this pre-rendered animation into my piece as a clickable movie cllip with transparency?

View 9 RepliesI'm making a room escape game and I've run into a problem. When an item gets added to the inventory, I'd like the user to be able to click on the item to affect another object (e.g. clicking screwdriver hides screws and displays other image) however when I add the code to the item, if the item is clicked and it's nowhere near the object it affects, the image pops up and it looks really stupid.
So what I'd like to be able to do, possibly using if and else statements or whatever's easiest, is to only have the inventory item be clickable if the movie clip of the object is affects is visible on the stage.
I currently have a movie where I have an icon (image) and a block of text as a clickable button (locked together) the button takes you to a specific urlActionScript
Code:
on(release){
geturl("[URL]");
}
What I need to do is replace the geturl with some script that will add an alert box with 2 options. I would like the box to have a title something like "Where would you like to go from here?" then two text links "Members Excel" (which will take them to members-excel-forum) and "Newsgroup Excel" (which will take them to newsgroup-excel-forum), like I said I have many more to add but once I have the code and a "How to" I should be able to adapt it.I will have to do this for each of the items (I'll have to unlock them first) there are 24 items in my movie (it looks like 12 as there is an icon and text locked together for each category) so I need to do this for 16 of them, I say Alert box as this won't be bothered by a pop up blocker.

I have a movie clip I am using as a button. It is an irregularly-shaped bitmap from a PS layer.
I don't want the whole bounding box to be "hot", just where there are actual pixels in the bitmap, and have clicks on transparent areas be ignores or pass through to underlying objects that may be clickable.
So far, my Document Class is:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;

I have developed a rolling credits style movieclip in Flash using Actionscript 2. Text is loaded from an XML file and parsed into a dynamic textfield. This text includes hyperlinks to webpages defined by a url node in the xml so Flash can add the appropriate a href to the dynamic text field and make the link clickable.
In my first attempts to do this the textfield stayed still and all the links worked fine both testing locally and when I run it in a browser on my website.Then I wanted to make things move ... which I achieved easily enough and tested locally (from within Flash Professional) and the links remained clickable, a browser window opened and the webpage i was expecting to see opened... great
However, when I export the swf, upload it and run it from my website suddenly the links are not working. So I tried to test the movie in a browser from Flash Pro - same problem, it must be something to do with Flash Player and the moving dynamic textfield.
a couple of observations - the cursor will change to a hand icon when over the links as you would expect, and if I right click on the link and click open in a new window the link works ok, just not when I left click. If I stop the scrolling then the links become clickable again, it is only when the textfield is moving... actually its not technically scrolling, im moving the whole textfield.
Problem is: right on the top of the site, there is a straight line and then with "x" and a round circle as if it's trying to open.

Another thing this lightbox doesn't work in IE 8.
My Error was:
1120: Access of undefined property adclicker.
After I was creating a symbol and writing the following code on to the frame:
Code:
adclicker.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, callLink);
function callLink(event:MouseEvent):void
{
[Code]...
Solution:
I had to change the INSTANCE name to "adclicker" and not only have the symbol with that name!!!
- Choose the button -> Properties -> Instance name: "adclicker".
I have a MC with a hole in it, graphically speaking. I need something behind it to show through the hole. The MC has a button embedded in it, so its clickable. But where the hole is I am not getting the button finger when I play it.My button hit area covers the hole, but it won't recognize it apparently.URL...Its the 2 bluish polygons on the map.
View 1 RepliesI am having some difficulty creating a SWF file that had a FLV embedded that is completely clickable at any point during the video. Created a new Flash document and imported the video, using the "Progressive download" option. I have tried everything from adding layers with click instances (http://forums.adobe.com/message/256259#256259) to making a button the size of the video that is set at 0% alpha.Every time I either get the video playing that is not clickable or i get the flv icon flashing (no video) that is clickable, or I get the flv icon flashing and it is not clickable at all.I am using CS3 and just looking for a video banner ad.

Is it possible to load a SWF into another blank SWF file and make it clickable? I have a (parent) flash which has a clickable transparent button on it and i am trying to load another external flash into this to make as clickable.
The external loading is working, but its not clickable. Without the external flash, the parent is clickable.
I was sent an swf ad for my website and when I mouseover it I get the click hand symbol but when I click a page loads with an error saying that the page cannot be found.
I tried to place an a href tag around the entire swf file but I get the same error. Is there a way to fix this without having the flash file?
The PHP script below basically returns variables myImage0, myImage1, and so on. I know how to get the variables (URL's) into flash, and I know how to load the jpegs associated with each URL. What I don't know how to do is make each movie clip clickable, and be able to use geturl so that when they are clicked they can go to whatever.

I have a movieclip that sits underneath a mask. I have set up an event listener to listen out for the MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN on the movicelip in question but the handler doesn't fire whilst the MC is under the mask.. When I remove the mask everything works fine. So my question is this: Is a MovieClip clickable under a mask? If so - how do you do this?
