I could put a hidden button on my movie. I found this code over the internet but it seems not to work.
breadcrumbs_btn.onRelease = function() {
if (Key.isDown(99)) {
getURL("http://www.mysite.com/mypage.php", "_self");
}
};
99 is the keycode for letter c by the day
I had a function that occured on mouseclick called go_out. I want this function to occur when the timer fires after 5 seconds. After the 5 secons I receive this error:

I have a button class which disables the current button when it is clicked, the problem is I need to restore the mouseclick event to all the other button or eventually if you work through the menu all the button will be disabled. How can I iterate through all non-clicked items and restore the clicks to the non-clicked buttons?
public function onClick(e:MouseEvent)
{
this.parent.gotoAndStop(e.target.name);
e.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
}
Basically I have a animation loop movie clip and a button layed over top that controls that animation. When hovering overtop the button, the movieclip's saturation changes by moving up a frame in the timeline. When clicked it is supposed to move the position of the movie clip. The problem is I can't have a mouseclick handler and mouseout handler (goes back to frame one) on the same button. I can't create the animation as a button because I NEED the animation to keep playing uninterrupted. I just need the saturation to change and I don't know any other way to do it other than create multiple key frames.
Code:
button_11.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_26);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_26(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(5);
} button_11.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, fl_MouseOverHandler_4);
function fl_MouseOverHandler_4(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(2);
} button_11.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, fl_MouseOutHandler_2);
function fl_MouseOutHandler_2(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
I'm was following a tutorial where you can load an unload a image or swf in a container through clicking on a button (ofcourse). but now i'm trying to add a 2nd button which loads another image or swf in the SAME container. This is the code:

I'm lost, at school we use CS3 and at home I have CS4. I cannot recall how to create a hidden button. From my previous work it appears that they come from the components, however I just can't see them there on CS4. Or have I got this completely wrong and do I have to create one from scratch.

I'm working on new presentation that has hidden buttons. In the previous presentation, when you hit the tab key it cycled through the hidden buttons by outlining them in red. I'm trying to recreate that feature, but am new to Flash and Action Script. I have many books and search the web often, but can not find an example of this or how it is done

View 1 RepliesI have an interactive map that I would like to script so that when a county is clicked, it sends through to a page called results.php this HTML table:
<form name="Merchant Details" action="results.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name= County>
<input type="hidden" name= MerchantType>
So County and MerchantType are fields in a SQL table. The script needs to tell the results.php page that County A and MerchantType B has been sent.
Where A is the name of the county and B is ALL (the default i've chosen for MerchantType)
I have a couple of movies, one of them hiding partially the other one. I would like to detect when someone clicks on a movie. I know that this can be done easily by using the hitTestPoint function. The problem is when the user clicks on the intersections of these movies. In that case the hitTestPoint function says that the user is clicking both movies. But actually the user is clicking only one movie, because the other movie is partially hidden. How can I program this behavior in a natural way?

View 1 RepliesI need a few answers and pointers for my game [URL] First off, is it possible for a graphic to be hidden once a movie clip has been dragged over it? The plan is for the grid to be covered in question marks, until the users drags the small smiley over the same large smiley at which point the question mark will be hidden revealing the large smiley. The user then gets a 2nd chance to match up the other remaining smiley, if they fail to get the right smiley is it possible for the question mark image to appear back over the top of the smileys?
View 5 RepliesI'm not even sure what you call it. When you go to some of the major web sites and big flash movie with option to shorten it is displayed. I've search the web for this and maybe i not calling it right.
What is the name of this flash movie called when you come to site and big flash movie comes up and pushes everything down? It has a option to reduce size by clicking button.
Anybody know where you can find this tutorial?
I have a web based slide show that reads an xml file and loads images from a folder on the server. The client would now like to also offer this slideshow on a cd. I'm pretty sure that I can save all the assets to on the cd and the slideshow will work. But the client is concerned that someone with the cd will be able to directly access the images on the cd. So, here's my non-flash flash question, can the folder storing the images on the cd be hidden yet still be read by the flash movie?
View 1 RepliesThis is a "is it possible question". I have a series of buttons that navigate within this flash file. Although the entire project has a screen movie clip on a seperate layer over top of everything. This screen contains rollover event listeners that change depending on where you move the mouse. Is it possible to have the mouse pass through the first movie clip and control the button underneath as well as the rollover event listener on top?

So I want to make some movie clips function as buttons to load some external swfs. I have this action script on the mc's:

I have a main timeline and on frame 6 I have a game1_mc to be controlled from the main timeline, that has start drag on it. The cursor changes to a hand but the movieClip won't drag.

game1_mc.purpleTri.onPress=function() {
this.startDrag();

View 2 RepliesI was asked to put all my actionscript in only at the main timeline, while I have lots of movie clips that acts as each page in my website. Each of them has buttons that I need to make them work without put the actionscript inside the movie clip but the main timeline.
I tried to use movieclip(parent).menu_btn.function(); which is not working
and now I'm trying to use array as a friend suggested me.
var play_buttons:Array = new Array("menu_btn", "ok_btn", "back3_btn");
stop();
//buttons for menu
[Code]....
the problem is when i clicked play button and it links to the play page,but it has an intro animation for 2-3 seconds before they reach the menu_btn that's why the error come out is that I have a null object since they execute the code b4 it comes to the menu_btn keyframe.
I want to assign a value to a variable ONCE on the correct key strike. THe problem is, I can hit the key three times and get the desired value of 3 that is to trigger another function. I only want each key to be a value of 1 in my switch/case. My brain is mush on this one.

I have code that, when pressing the left or right key, will go to the next frame within my movie:
Code:
stop();
this.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT) {
this.prevFrame();
[code]....
However, this will go to the next frame and stop.How can I get it so it will go to the next frame and play through the time line until I put in a stop command?Or, along the same lines, how could I set it so on keyDown it will go to and play whatever frame I choose?
I have a simple movie with the following code. The idea is to move from one frame to the next or back using the arrow keys on the keyboard [code]...
View 6 RepliesMy app has a datagrid as well as many other UIComponents (buttons, menus, etc). I have a general stage KeyDown handler as well as a specific one for the datagrid. The behavior I'm trying to implement is turning out to be trickier than I thought: basically, when using the keyboard arrows I would like the datagrid to always hear about such commands, even if it's not in focus.
Possible approaches I thought of:have the DG be in focus at all times: seems stupid / tricky - basically would need to remember to give focus back to DG after any interaction with the rest of the UI, which obviously doesn't scale.try to set the DG in focus from stage KeyDown handler: seems like the timing doesn't work since the DG gets focus too late to "hear" the event.from the stage keydown handler, check if the DG is not in focus, and if so pass it the event. This seems to make sense in theory, but I'm not sure how to do this properly since my stage keyDown handler uses capture, and thus seems to catch the same event over and over.
