I'm using actionscript 1.0 and 2.0 on flash Pro 8 and keep getting an error when I test the movie. Here is the error:
[Code]...
I've tried to create this rollover navigation...starting over 6 times already. Is there different language / coding for 1.0 and 2.0? I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=poga, frame=1:Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
on (release) {
Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1
But the animation works fine . I created a button , to reaplay the animation again when i press it.
Code:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
Why it give me this error ? I have Action script 2.0 and 1.0
I'm not sure why it says that when I export the movie. I read that it may be because the actionscripts in the keyframe and not in the move, though that isnt the case here. Below is the code for my button.
on (release) {
getURL("JavaScript:liveChat();");
}
I was following a tutorial off a site to build my title menu. I followed everything to the T and the ActionScript 2.0 is giving me 2 of the same errors Mouse events are permitted only for button instances, on 2 of my layers. below is the action script2 code
1. invisible button layer
on (rollOver) { gotoAndStop (1); }
2. ECHOTRAK BUTTON
stop (); on (rollOver) { gotoAndStop (2); }
my question is how do i make my button for my drop down menu work. an instance is a label correct if so were does it exist in this code. I believe its telling me I'm missing my frame labels to be included somewhere in this code the site i used was on this site

View 1 Repliesi'm using cs4 flash, i made a button that covers the entire movie (it's a gateway page) here is the AS is used:
on (release) {
getURL('02.html', '_self');
}
here is the error i get from flash Mouse events are permitted only for button instances i did this for another movie, and it worked fine. the movie acts like a button when i mouse over it, but i click and release and i get nothing.
I created a dropdown menu from a tutotial I found on the net but when I place it inside a scene so that I can use it has errors which were not there when I tested the movie clip. It keeps going mouse events are permitted for button instances only. This is the same clip that I can't link my scenes to.
View 3 RepliesI have a button that is called to the stage using AS. When the user releases that button, a global variable is populated and the pageShell movie clip is removed and re-attached using the new variable info. When I run the movie, I get the following in the output panel: **Error** Mouse events are permitted only for button instances on (release:<name>){ I'm not sure why this is happening because the symbol being used (<idname>) is a button.

I created a button that has a movieclip in the rollover state. When you rollover the mouse, the movieclip will animate to appear as if the button will scale from a small to a large button even though it is the movieclip that is playing and not the button itself. But I also want to add a keyboard code to play the rollover instead of the mouse. I learned to write actionscript to play different scenes with the code below, but I'm not sure if I can play a button rollover with the same code.
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, key_pressed);
function key_pressed(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
if (event.charCode==49) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"scene");
}
I am making a ball move from left to right and back. but when I rollover twice quickly, it also accepts the second rollover command. I would like it to accept that second rollover only when the first one is finished. I mean, I want the first to be finished before it accepts another rollover.I know it is simple to solve this with a tween using frames instead of as, but I was wondering if someone knows how to adapt the script.
on(rollOver){
ballTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(balMC, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut,balMC._x, 44, .5, true);
ballTween.onMotionFinished = function() {
ballTweenterug = new mx.transitions.Tween(balMC, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, 44,11.9, .5, true);
i've tried placing the code in the actions pnel of the mc; on the mc at the main time line and in various other unspeakable places... but i always get the same error warning me that this code can only be used in movieclip instances and that my stupidity levels are reaching dangerous levels. (error: 'Symbol=stage_mc, Layer=actions, Frame=1: Line 5: Clip events are permitted only for movie clip instances
onClipEvent(enterFrame){'
i fear somebody will reply to this with:'the code goes on the movieclip instance'...at which point i will take up a career in knitting (i knew i shouldn't have given up the course in the first place)
I have a lengthy text running in flash movie. I want the movie clip to be stopped (meaning pause) when the mouse roll over on it to read the content... and when the mouse roll out from the movie it should be played continuously. ( not from the beginning. ) how to write the code snippets?
View 1 RepliesI'm tring to create a menu system for the cue points of an flv video chapters, the idea is it will appear over an flvplayback component when a menu button is pressed. The menu button itself appears when a trigger movieclip is rolled over. Now I have all the basics working, but my trouble is that the trigger movieclip is blocking the mouse events of the carousel. If I change the order of the movieclips so that the carousel is on top I get the carousel mouse events but only get mouse events of some of the area of the trigger movieclip.[code]...
View 11 RepliesI am using the following code to display 2 buttons when the mouse moves over the video instance:
function ShowChan(event:MouseEvent):void{ btnChan1.visible = true; btnChan2.visible = true;}
video1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, ShowChan);
But for some reason it is not working.

my interface consists of two graphical moviclips: A and B (B is a palette that contains several movieclips). it should work like this:
- click mc A to show mc B (initially hidden).
- while the mouse is still pressed, hover over the various mc:s of mc B. keep track of the mc:s i have hovered over in an array.
- when the mouse button is released, hide mc B.
so... i need to generate somekind of event (like onRollOver) while my mousebutton is pressed. however onRollOver is not fired when the mousebutton is pressed.
I'm currently working on a flashsite and are trying to figure out rollover menu buttons. The site has 6 menu buttons and are placed next to each other. I want to put a rollover action on the buttons, that when you rollover a button that the whole button image enlarges and moves in front of the other.
View 1 RepliesI am using the Button component (the one shipped with CS3) inmany places in my AS3 project. I am coding in .as files, not on thetimeline.I have skinned the Button to use the colors I like. Now Iwish to "skin" it so that all instances generate a rollOver sound,and I'll be darned if I can figure out how.I know I can listen for ROLL_OVER events in each Buttoninstance. But I have many many Buttons and it seems kludgy to addthat same code to every class I have which tracks a Button. I amhoping there is some way I can make *all* instances of Buttonrespond to rollOver the same way. I am hoping it is likesetComponentStyle or changing the skin for the Button; I can do itin one place and it works everywhere.I guess I can listen on the Stage level for bubble-ups ofROLL_OVER, trap those that come from Button instances, and handleit from there, but stagewide listeners also seem a tad kludgy
View 1 RepliesThe animation/rollover works well but it still abruptly stops when I rollover another button. The link below is an example on what I want to accomplish.
View 1 RepliesI want to rollover a button and have it trigger the rollover state of another button. The buttons overlap. The one on top is transparent and smaller than the bottom button. So far I think I have the AS3 to handle the rollover of the top button, but I don't know how to trigger the other button's rollover state.

I'm having a weird thing happen. I'm using the Tween class to move a child mc (slide_mc )of the button called jump_btn. slide_mc is supposed to move from left to right on rollover, then right to left upon rollout. They seem to work pretty good. The issue I'm getting is when the user is NOT over the button; you'll see the rollover tween (_jump1_twn) get triggered. Again, the mouse is not over the button and is still. How can I get this to stop happening? slide_mc then gets locked to the right until the user rolls over the button. Am I having this problem because Im using the Tween class to move objects I constucted manually?
jump_btn = mc I created manually then had exported for actionscript.slide_mc = a child mc of jump_btn (the issue is with its movement getting triggered at the wrong time)jumpFakeBtn = mc I created manually then had exported for actionscript.

How can I make onRollOver work, when the left mouse button is clicked? When mouse button is released than rollOver work's, when I press and rollOver to some object it wont work.
View 1 RepliesI have made a couple of 'advanced rollovers' if you will, yet one thing is annoying me about them! When you roll over the button it looks great, yet as soon as your mouse goes off the hit area, it just suddenly shoots straight back to frame 1 of the movie clip , is there any way to animate a scene once the mouse has gone off the button, so it looks smooth when rolling over and when rolling off?
View 1 Replieshow can I make the rollover of a button to do not change the mouse to the hand, keeping the arrow?
View 3 RepliesI've a main movie, for example, this movie has 3 buttons, in each button there's a MovieClip in the Over area, for example button1 contains a MovieClip with some animation, this clip has an Instance name clip1_mc, ok, untill this, everything it's ok, the effect it's easy to achieve, when I rollover my mouse over that button, the clip called clip1_mc starts to play, piece of cake, the problem is this, what happens if I call an extrenal .SWF, this .SWF contains a simple button, when I rollover this button I want to play my clip inside in my button in my main Movie, I cannot do this, I was trying with something like this:
on (rollOver) {
_parent.clip1_mc.play();
}
But this is not working.
I create a button(MC) and want to duplicate it and easily change the text inside this button... basically I have an mc that acts as a button so inside the mc I have text that I added that animates on mouse rollover. Now I duplicate this mc in the library go into the mc and want to change the text, and when I do, the text in the original button also changes. This happens because the text is a Tween so it's using the same tween from the library for the new button. Is there a quick way to avoid this? I don't see anyway other than typing in the text again in the new button and animating it again.
View 6 RepliesI've this script that works fine:
onClipEvent(mouseDown ){
_root.orange1anm.orange1.play();
}
I've been trying to change it to a rollover instead of a click and nothing seems to work.
I have a flash document with only 1 scene, but several frames. On the first frame i have several buttons, their behavior is "button". I wrote a simple onRollover command on each one. Like this
on(rollOver){
gotoAndStop(2)
}
It works fine when I test the movie, however, when I publish it, nothing happens when I rollover the button. I suppose there is a simple answer to this, but i just can't find it

look at the 5th image, that is the script, when i do the publish it gives me this error "Clip events are permitted only for movie clip instances"
