IDE :: Simple Button - Associate Events With Handlers
Nov 27, 2009
I have recently read and practiced the instructions given in "Buttons in Flash" tutorial on this site, and although everything works beautifully it does not give me the code for linkage i.e. either external website or mail.
The existing code is:
function setupEvents() {
// associate events with event handlers
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickButtonHandler);
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, hoverButtonHandler);
} setupEvents();
[Code] .....
How do I include the relevant behaviours to these buttons?

I'm using Flash Pro 8 and I'm attempting to incorporate events into some of my classes and I'm having nothing but problems. After looking at lots of examples, this all seems okay, but doesn't work. First is the class code and secondly is the code on the timeline.
ActionScript Code:
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
class iaicu.mycampus.ClassSchedule {[code].....
Keep in mind that these classes are more elaborate, so events are intended to be more useful.

I downloaded the trial of flash cs4 and have created a simnple flash.I am creating a simple slideshow, each of the slides should be clickable and redirect the browser.I created images then imported them and they were automatically converted to symbols.I combined the symbols using some motion tweens.I then created an actions layer and created clasic tween wher I want the user to be able to click.My problem is I cant get it working. I think I am not referencing the right objects.[code]I have tried setting the object reference to the motion tween instance name, the classic tween name on the actions layer and the symbol name none seem to work

OK from the title you can tell I'm now a AS3 newbie. Its a shame because I was good intermediate at AS2 and all of a sudden I'm back at square one - and I'm no programmer so there's little chance of me learning AS3.
1) Back to the problem. I used to control events on my timeline with simple timers and such, utilising code like: _parent.MC1.Play(); Now that doesnt work, _parent and .root are gone, and I can't even get basic things to work anymore. I want to do is advance "MC1" to the next frame.
2) Is there a *simple* reference/summary of what happened to my old AS2 commands somewhere.

I'm trying to make an animated map showing points on a map as they appear over time.I've got a few hundred locations in a spreadsheet with lat/longs. I have a plugin from Avenza for Illustrator that lets me plot the points, and then of course I can import them into Flash. The problem is that when I move them to Flash, all of the attributes, including the year (which I need to animate them) is stripped away.
I can easily enough get pixel coordinates in Flash at this point, but the problem is I don't know anything about these points now. I'm having to look at them, one at a time, in Flash and Illustrator, then manually hard code each individual point to tell it where it appear on the timeline in Flash. This isn't going to work.

I have an array of images and an input text box. I want to type something in the text box which will be different for each picture. For example the first picture may be an apple and the correct answer will be apple and so on. How do I check to see if the input is correct against the picture that is shown?

I have a UI component that, for various reasons, I have to construct programatically. The component is a table of radio buttons grouped by column.Right now, I'm constructing the column groups like so:
private function createGroupsForItemList(items: XMLList): void {
for each (var item: XML in items) {
var rbGroup: RadioButtonGroup = new RadioButtonGroup();
groups[item.@level.toString()] = rbGroup;
}
}
I'm trying to associate the RadioButton instances with the column groups like so:
private function createValueControl(item: XML): UIComponent {
var control: RadioButton = new RadioButton();
control.label = "";
[code]...
I can see in the debugger that the control has an association to the group:
control.group == groups[item.@level.toString()]
However, I can see equally that the group does not know anything about the control:
group.radioButtons.length == 0
I imagine that this is because the setter for group in RadioButton is a dumb setter; all it does is copy to the variable, which doesn't do the magic that groupName does. However, I can't seem to find the value I should use to set the RadioButton.groupName property correctly.So, in short, I'm stumped on how to get these bits to talk to each other. How do I do this?
-- EDIT -- It turns out that I can have the groups created and associated simply by setting the groupName property, but I can't get at the group to set up a selection listener; the group is NULL immediately after the setting process, which means that the second line below throws the Flex equivalent of an NPE:
control.groupName = groupNameForLevel(item);
control.group.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, updateSelection);

In flash one can point to a file on disk to associate the form with a class which name can be different from the form name so that you can multiple forms to the same class.
In Silverlight is it possible somehow including by hacking vs studio project xml file by hand ?

I built an FLV player that scales to full-screen and on fullScreen, the control bar resizes in a non-uniform manner. The whole control bar is scaled down to 33% of original so the controller isn't barbarically huge. Then the progressBar scales in X to fill up the width now empty due to the uniform scale-down, and the elements to the right of the progressBar all move over in X to appropriate positions to distribute nicely across the width of the remaining video screen. Problem is that the volume knob that is attached by the FLVPlayback component to the volumeTrack that I've moved in X does not move with the volumeTrack. It just sits in it's original position and stays there until you mouseDown on it, then it pops over to the volume track's new position and behaves nicely.
I've tried to set volume on the fullScreen event, thinking it would pop the knob back into place over the track, but that doesn't work.... And I can't find any method of the FLVPlayback class that you can call to reevaluate the position of all of the UI elements to current, etc....
I also can't find any onClick handler for the assigned volume knob so that I could call it directly, etc. Does such a handler exist in the FLVPlayback class and I just can't see it??

I'm not an experienced Actionscript user so I'm not sure what the normal way to associate a custom class with a movieclip that has been designed in the Flash IDE is. I made a class called Window to control a movieclip called TestWindow. There are some buttons in the movieclip whose
functionality I would like to assign the instance of class Window. How is this supposed to be done? Here's a representation of what I mean. I hope it is sort of clear. My actual problem is that the local variables are outside the scope of the onPress function but I also think there must be some other way of associating classes with movieclips that have been designed in the IDE.

Draw a rectangle using the rectangle tool; select the text tool and create a text box inside of the rectangle, and type in BEGIN; make sure it fits inside the rectangle; select entire image by left clicking then dragging over it; convert to symbol button.
Then, I add in the code of going to keyframe 4 when released (which works fine). But when I test it out and mouse over the button, I can still select the text which gives me like barely any space where I can click the button to go to keyframe 4. This is reeaaallly annoying me. How can I fix this?

I am using Adobe Flash CS4. I don't know why I do the sample actionscript code here.
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
And now I'm dealing with a button function. I already created a box then press "F8" and choose button. Now I click on the button box, and press "F9" for the actionscript. It said that "Current selection cannot have actions applied to it" Then choose "ActionScript 1.0 & 2.0" Global Function > Movie Clip Control > On but "On" is disabled, how to solve this problem of mine to put this simple code.

So I am trying to get better at putting all my code within one action layer and there is a bit of button code that seems to be confusing me.
Whenever I program a button I use the following code:
PHP Code:
on (press){
} on (release, releaseOutside ) {
}
Now I know programming the on(press) command is done like this:
PHP Code:
btnName.onPress = function() {
}
However I am having a hard time with the on (release, releaseOutside ) code. The only way I have been able to do it is like this:
PHP Code:
btnName.onRelease = function() {
} btnName.onReleaseOutside= function() {
}
My question is, is there any way to combine the two onRelease commands?

Okay so basically I have two buttons that go to the same destination, what I want to do is if one is ROLL_OVER'd then I want the other one to go to the roll over state as well. I figured out that part, what I cant figure out is why it's not going back to the upState, the regular state, I mean it works if I do gotoAndStop with movie clips, it's just with these darn buttons.

I am somewhat new to Flash CS4 andt am having a problem making simple buttons in Flash CS4 on a Macintosh: I have made a few buttons with a graphic and can go into them and successfully create the Up, Over and Down stages of the graphic. Then when I create a new box for the hit state (which is larger than the graphic and I have deleted the graphic itself from the hit state) it doesn't want to appear correctly when I test the movie. When I test the movie, the hit state is correct everywhere around the graphic (to the bounds of my hit state box), but is not active where the graphic is.
When I go under the Control menu, down to Enable Simple Buttons, the hit zone looks great right in my Flash file, but when I preview it or publish it and look it on different browsers (PC and Mac), I don't get my pointer right over the actual graphic, but get it everywhere around the graphic to the boundaries of my hit box. Why can't I get the actual graphic to be a hot spot in this situation? I have tried leaving the graphic in the hit timeline, and tried putting both the larger box and the graphic in the hit timeline, and still can't get them to respond correctly with the pointer in the browser window.

All the movie clips do for now is have a graphic go from black to red.The action script for the buttons are as follows:[code]Now when i play the clip everything works like i want it to work...The problem arrises once i load the bar into my header.What I have done is created a new file which contains my header... I added a layer called load with a blank movie clip with the instance name of load_mc in another layer called actions I added the following action scripts:[code]When I play this file, my button_bar.swf load but the graphic keeps playing over and over again instead of only playing on mouse over.

This used to be so easy to do back in the day, but not any more. I'm trying to create a reeaaally simple button in Flash CS3 that on release goes to and plays the next frame.[code]All the button does is starts an mp3 that's embedded in the file. I've made tons of these in the past, but now with CS3 I'm finding this task very difficult. The code is in the button instance, but I'm getting the following error when I publish.

I set up a simple Flash banner with the following code to click through to a web page:
function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { navigateToURL(new URLRequest("**URL**")); trace("You clicked me."); }
This worked fine, no problems.However, I was then asked to include a click counter by using this code:
btn.buttonMode = true; btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goOut); function goOut(e:Event){ var url:String = root.loaderInfo.parameters.clickTag; var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(**URL**); try { navigateToURL(request); } catch (e:Error) { } }
I've tried various ways to combine the two events, but it just doesn't seem to work. I'm only used to one simple action at a time.
