I am embedding an swf into an html page using the same code that flash outputs when you publish your movie. I want to be able interact with the movie without clicking on it but it seems that I HAVE to click before I can interact via the keyboard.This is happening when I view the automatically generated HTML page in FireFox v. 3.0.6.

I am working on a slide show where the slides overlap. When a new slide is accessed, it slightly overlaps the previously accessed one (which is scaled down and moved slightly to give the illusion that it is being pushed back). The problem occurs when I try to use swapDepths() to make the new active slide appear over the old active one, the 2 movie clips that this function is applied on pause and continually swap depths with each other for the remainder of the movie. I read in the documentation that all tweening stops when this function is called. Is there anyway to bypass this and achieve the effect that I am looking for?

View 5 Repliesif there is a way to make a linked object deactivate if another object appears above it in my swf file. Basically when mousing over the a image that covers the link object, the hot spot still works which give the impression that the image that is showing above it has a link. Btw I already know how to place the overlaying image on another timeline of which the linked object is not on, but that is not what I am looking for in this case, I actually need the linked object to remain on the same timeline as the overlay images.

How can I code it so that the clicked button that represents the 'current' slide changes color until another button is clicked?

I've got an infographic I'm working on, and every time I roll over an image (a ring) the alpha goes up to 100, then I roll out and it goes back to 50. That much I'm good with.
Then, I click on each one of them, and a movie clip (built inside of each ring/button) pops up and plays. Fair enough.
I've got a script (ugly, but it works!) that will hide all other buttons while this movie clip is playing. But, when I click to close it, I can't figure out a way to make them reappear. I tried putting visible = true again for all of them, but no dice.
The actionscript for it is right below.
I'm not sure if there's anything I can do to make it modal in AS3 or something like that. Or should I go ahead and set it up in a parent/child kind of way (not too well-versed in that regard.
All the buttons to click on are in the same layer and I'm not sure if making them different layers in Flash would make any difference.

View 8 RepliesSo, here is what I'm trying to do. I have a page full of characters for a project I'm working on now, and I want to add some interactivity to the page by making each of the characters clickable and having a description of the character pop up that you can then close. I have included 3 images of what I'd ideally like tohappen.Picture 1: The page in just a normal state, nothing happening.Picture 2: On rollover, I would like the character to pop out and enlarge.I know how to make it enlarge on rollover, but I don't understand how you would make it come to the front above other layers. with understanding how to do.
Picture 3: I want a description like this to pop up when you click on the character. I have a layer at 50% opacity to fade the background out as well. I need to know how to:1. Make this image show up when you click on the respective character.2. Make this image disappear when you click on the red X button at the top right
I think the title is self explanatory... anyway, I wanna make my buttons do a cool animation (like roll away or explode) but until AFTER they're clicked,

View 1 RepliesI'm having trouble with a custom mouse cursor. In my script I replace the original mouse with a movie clip called hand like so:
Mouse.hide();
hand.x = stage.mouseX;
hand.y = stage.mouseY;
But when I go to click on something it uses the mouse's pointer still. I'd like to be able to drag with any part of my custom cursor(which is larger than a mouse).I've tried making a hit box that detects when the mouse is near the clip but it doesn't work onsistently(sometimes it just clicks like normal).Is there to make the clicking area of the mouse change?

I have a 3d model of a village created in 3DS Max, and I want to know what is the procedure for me to get it into Flash?The reason for this is because I want to use AS3 to make the user be able to fly through the village by clicking a button. Like for example, when the user clicks a button named "Water" the view(camera) flies through to the village's Lake. Then when he/she clicks "Houses" it goes maybe to a hut. And again if he/she clicks "Water" it will go to the lake using the same path it took.
There is only one defined path that the camera can go through, and that path have locations where the camera can stop depending on which button is clicked ("Water" stops at the lake, "Houses" stops at the hut, etc.)
On the code i'm writing you can select an object to interact with it, but to deselect you have to click on it again, is there a way to make the deselection by simply clicking out of the MovieClip?

View 1 RepliesI'm shwoing a step by step process on how I did a photoshop piece, and I want to have a simple flash swf that goes through each of the screenshots at the viewer's pace, by them clicking. I wasn't even thinking so complicated as to include forward/back buttons, even just somethign so simple as having the entire image clickable to move 'forward' and when it gets to the end it just loops or something. super simple, i would do an animaged gif but i want it to be at the user's own pace. but if you think of how an animated gif cycles that's how simple i want it to be. also a few of fading/dissolivng between the images would be cool.

I want to make a button (or graphic) active and visible if another button is clicked. But it must be invisible and unclickable before the other button is clicked. (this is a "find the differences between the 2 pictures game" and I want circles to appear over the differences that the user finds but only after he clicks it)
The button (or graphic) I want to become active has instance name of "sockcircle_btn" The button you click to make it appear is called "sock_btn"
In the first frame of the sockcircle_btn layer, this is my code
sockcircle_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,sockcircledisable);
function sockcircledisable(evt:MouseEvent):void{
sockcircle_btn.mouseEnabled = false;
}
In the sock_btn frame (frame 3) this is my code
sock_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,sockcircleenable);
function sockcircleenable(evt:MouseEvent):void{
sockcircle_btn.mouseEnabled = true;
}
The file is setup to loop between frames 2-3. But the sockcircle_btn never enables even when sock_btn is clicked.
How would I do this? I've got tree buttons. Only one is supposed to be "selected" at a time. They play different animations. What I need, is to set the button (which has different bg color depending on its over, up and down state) to it's down state.
Simply put; I need to freeze the button in it's down-state when it's clicked. And when I click one of the other buttons, it's supposed to return back to its normal state, and the new button is to be frozen in it's down state.
What I want is a hint how to make a specific thing happen while clicking a specific button. Like "if I click button 1, do this". Would like to use this script though I'm gonna add buttons over time and this is an easy way to have the functionality working.
Here's the code:
Attach Code
function hitButton(btn) {
btn.onRollOver = function() {
this.colorTo (0xC4006A);

View 5 Repliesbut when I test my movie, my navigation buttons flash rapidly and make their "clicking sound" over and over and over..... Could this be a "layers" issue? My navigation buttons reside on a "global content" layer which sits below a "sections content" layer..... and there IS content above these buttons on that layer. I'd try re-arranging the layers and testing the movie, but I am not at home right now... and I was curious to see what some of you might think before I got back home tonight.
