Is it possible to assign several onRelease Functions for multiple movieClips on a single function?
Here is my scenario... I have 10 movieClips on stage... i have a function on script which needs to be called every time any of the movieclips are clicked.. do i have to write a separate movieclip.onRelease function for each and every movieclip.
I have a problem with a contactform in flash. The form and the script works fine, but I want to add a function. When pressing the "submit button" it sends me an email. And the text "message sent appears. I would like to add a onreleaseandgotoandplay function which takes me to the frame 2. I have tried to place this function into the button, it works fine taking me to frame 2, but then it does not send me an email....
Actionscript
bSubmit.onRelease = function(){email();
}function email(){
var sMessage = "Name: " + tName.text + "
E-mail: " + tEmail.text + "
Comments: " + tComments.text + "
[Code] .....
I have a problem with a contactform in flash. I have a working contact fom made in flash , which i want to add a function to.When pressing the "submit button" it sends me an email.And the text "message sent apears. I would like to add a onreleaseandgotoandplay function which takes me to the frame 2. i have tried to place this function into the button, it works fine taking me to frame 2, but then it does not send me an email.I guess the second function should be placed in the code below to work
View 7 RepliesI'm still finding my way around even the simplest things in Actionscript. I have a movieclip named 'leaf9' in which I'm using as a button (which happens to be within another movieclip). I have the following actionscript on the frame which contains 'leaf9':
[AS]
leaf9.onRollOver = function(){
this.gotoAndPlay("rollover");[code].....
What I want is for all the other functions to go away once "shrink" has started to play, so that if the mouse goes over the button again, the clip doesn't start playing "rollover" etc etc. So how do I stop all the other functions from playing once the .onRelease function has started?
I have a MovieClip with 3 functions to act as a button - onRollover, onRollout, onRelease. I want the onRelease function to cancel out the other functions once the user presses the button.
How would I script that?
Code:
navMenu1.onRollOver = function() {
_parent.jumpTobg1X(2);
this.gotoAndPlay("over");
[Code]...
Basically, I have the function sliding another movieclip along the x axis. onRelease it slide to position 3 - which I want it to stay there, but my onRollout function keeps sliding it back to position 2 (which i need for users just browsing the navigation before a selection is made)

I've created an empty movie clip on the stage called 'photographs', to which I've attached a movie which I've given the instance name 'p1_mc'. This movieclip contains another with an instance name of 'p1_mc_base', which in turn contains a third with an instance name of 'close_btn'.
I need to target 'close_btn' to call an onRelease function. I'm thinking the path would be:
_root.photographs.p1_mc.p1_mc_base.close_btn
which is borne out when I list the objects in the movie, but I can't get it to work. I've used getNextHighestDepth() with the createEmptyMovieClip and attachMovie functions.
I reworked a script that creates a menu from XML. Works great, it creates the menu items by attaching a button I have in my library, each button gets the proper data passed to it in the process. Each button has an onRelease tied to it by the script. When the menu item is clicked (onRelease) it loads an image and proper data into the movie (into movie clips & dynamic text boxes).My hangup is that I want the first menu item to be called when the menu is created. In other words, i want to call the function that the onRelease is calling with the first menu items data but i can't figure out how to do it.All i can figure is having the button call the function itself [i.e.if(this.name =="button1"){] but that doesn't work.[code]
View 1 RepliesI was thinking can you call multiple functions at one time Like instead of

I have one function that puts text in a text field and makes a button goto a url onRelease.The code is like this:
Code:
item.onRelease = function() {
myButton.onRelease = function() {
getURL("http://google.com", "_blank");
}
talk = this.txt;
}
the only problem is that the button doesn't work onRelease. i think that it is because there are too many functions there, but at the same time,
So I'm attempting to call a random item from an array which is all fine and dandy, but I'm attempting to fill the array with functions, and therein lies my problem.Here is my code, it's just a test file I made to keep it simple while I learn how to do it:
Code:
var functionArray:Array = new Array('a', 'b', 'c');
function a():void

My problem is that I am trying to use the following functions on 10 different logo movieclips. Each logo movieclip has a popup up box (another mc) within its timeline with a description in. When I hover over the logo movieclip i want it to call the forward frames function and on hover out call the rewindframes function.
function forwardFrames() {
onEnterFrame = function () {
if (_currentframe != 15) {
nextFrame();

I have 16 movieclips, each with different instances and linking to htmlsI owuld like to have it so that when you ROLL_OVER a movieclip, they shift position 1 along the x and 2 along y axis.I've given each MC a ROLL_OVER event listener and know I could call separate function for each but I'm sure there's an easier way.This is what I have already have
Mc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, go1);
Mc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, nudge);
Mc2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, go2);

I have created a custom component that I am using, more conveniently, as a SkinnablePopUpContainer and I want to use the same function that calls and receives data from it for several Buttons in the UI. What is the best way to achieve this without having to create a new function for each button?

I have a single movieclip named button, and I want to use a "for" to multiply that movieclip, that way I can have multiple buttons and edit them all in a single function.
It would be something like this:
var _button = new button;
for(i=0; i<5;i++){
_button[i]:button = new button;
addChild(button[i]);
}
I need to write a function which should fix the location of the movie clip on the stage.
public function setCoOrdinates(xpos:Number,ypos:Number,movieName:S tring):Void
{
eval(movieName)._x=xpos;
eval(movieName)._y=ypos;
}
My function is as above. While I use this function in flash I only see the last movieclip on the stage which was passed. Movieclips passed earlier seem to have disappeared from the screen.
setCoOrdinates(20,200,"bButton_mc");
setCoOrdinates(530,100,"fButton_mc");
I see only "fButton_mc" on the stage. Even though I set different xpos and yposs for the movie clip.
I have these images that will load when I input a certain string of text but I don't know how to combine functions to make a generic one that will work for all of the images. These are just two and they're basically the same thing except I have to make each function (something)1 and then (something)2 for the next image.

I have noticed that calling a function from a mouse event requires just that event as a parameter in the function declaration function doSomething (evt:MouseEvent):void{} I would like to call the same function from different places like so
function doSomething ():void{

}

I have a serious situation regarding the onRelease Funciton not working properly.I have a FVLplayback componant inside a flash project inside a movie clip. Inside that movie clip I have two layers, One for actionscript and and the other for the actual component which contains instance name of 'myPlayer' (without quotes)[code]That cameraRoll is the instance name of another movie clip I have located in the movie clip as shown in path above. Inside that movie I have rollover, Rollout effects. The actionscipt is in an invisible button right on top of the objects. The actionscript is:[code]The objective: the movieclip to carry out the rollover Rollout effect and to have the function that will start the video.The Problem: When I run the flash project, it does the effect but won't start the video. If i move things around, I can have the video start playing but then the button won't do the rollOver, RollOut effects.
-the path to the video component:-root.menu.video
-the path to the movie clip taht contains the timeframes for rollOver/rollOut effects )which contains invisible button on top of everything. root. menu.cameraRoll
Is it not possible to call other functions from generic mouse event functions?
Code:
_root.myButton.onPress = function(){
hide();

So, I have tons o' buttons that each need to link to unique URLs, and I'd like to minimize coding as much as possible. The code below works, but I will have to do this about 50 times.Can I associate the URLs with the instance names of the buttons and then reuse the same function?In the event you didn't already guess, I'm a newbie to AS3
cap_mc.CapTeam_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, capPage);
function capPage (evtObj:MouseEvent) { trace("clicked") var url:String = "http://www.mydomain.com"; var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);

I'm loading an item to the stage and trying to apply a function to it but it doesn't seem to work.
Code:
_root.attachMovie("FullScreenBTN","FullScreenBTN",_root.getNextHighestDepth());
_root.FullScreenBTN.onRelease = function(){
trace("test")
}
When I press the button nothing happens, but when I remove the attach code and just put the button on the stage with the appropriate instance name it does work.
what's the best way to combine these onrelease functions here so i dont have to repeat the same lines of code?

My setup has several movieclips in different layers. My problem is that .onRollOver, onRollOut and .onRelease functions are still active for movieclips lying underneath. Is it possible to inactivate these functions and then activate them again when it is needed? Or how do I solve this?
View 2 RepliesI want a chart that has several separate series running in rows across. They are largely separate charts and should not overlap, but all share the same horizontal datetimeaxis. They don't share the same y-axis, however and that's where I'm getting stuck.I have tried having a linechart series and then a plotchart series, but it will only allow a single <mx:series> per chart without having them inside the same series which as far as I can tell will place the charts on top of each other in the z-axis. I can stack them and have them completely separate charts, but it was proving to be somewhat irritating having them align correctly.
Is there any reasonable way of combining multiple charts into one like this? Basically having rows in a table where each row is a different chart but the columns are consistent. or am I going to be best served just by stacking separate ones? an illustration of what i'm going for is here: http:[url]........
a simple issue I guess: in my game I've 2 functions called in callback with Drag&Drop of a coin icon; usually I call just one of the two functions, but when I stand in another part of the game I need to call the other function, using the same coin icon (it's about two different payments, in a shop and in a museum).

In one of our project we are using flex for front end, blazeds/java in the backend. Its an existing code where services are prewritten. I have to make calls to 3 services in the backend (basically 3 remote objects) and get their result and store the result in an object and show the data of this object in a view.
Now in front end we are using Flex and Parsley Framework. I was thinking of the following approaches.
1) Making commands for each service call and storing the result in a shared object (model) and then displaying this model in the view. In this approach the problem is some services are needed in some other web pages, but they donot need the same model. How should i handle this scenario ? Should i make a asynchronous remote call and fetch the result and then again dispatch and event with the event object storing the result.
2) Making a service call , wait for the result then make another call and wait for the result and then make other call, not sure if this is the right way ?
I'm pretty new to AS3 and am getting my feet wet as fast as I can. Currently I have a fairly simple thing I'm trying wherein I will have a button_mc that on ROLL_OVER, it triggers a function that will make another MC move. That part I can do- my question though is how can I have multiple button/movieclip "sets" that are able to call the same function? As an example, I'd have "button1_mc" trigger "shape1_mc", "button2_mc" trigger "shape2_mc", and so on. I want to avoid having to have separate sets of functions for each button/movieclip pair. I hope that makes sense.
Here's where I'm currently at with the first eventListener and corresponding function. You can see how in the function I have a specific MC (shape1_mc) named, which of course I'm trying to avoid, as I will likely have 5-10 similar buton/mc pairs like below. Is there a way to call the movieclip (shape1_mc) in the event handler itself without having to name it in the function?
