Professional :: 12 Movie Clip Buttons On The Main Page?
Aug 25, 2010
I have 12 movie clip buttons on the main page (3 rows of 4 buttons).When a button is pressed,it gives the answer to a question which remains visible.On this answer screen, there is another button to click for further information. I pointed to this button to go to another frame within the same movieclip (containing the further information).However, this "further information" shows up UNDERNEATH the 12 buttons, and you can't read it.

I would like to scroll a movie clip (my main page itself actually). If I put my mouse to the left it scrolls right, to the right it scrolls left, up it scrolls down, down it scrolls up... seen it on so many pages, still can't find any code for it.

I have a move clip with several buttons inside; their rollover seems fine. i am trying to get the buttons in the clip to address / go to the main movie timeline. Button names within the clip: c_btn, d_btn, etc. These are the symbols names; they have not been given unique instance names within the clip. The clip name is nav_all and its instance on the timeline is navall.mc I am using Flash CS3, AS3.

I am attempting to have the main timeline move from a stopped position over a movie clip to frame 1, where my start menu is.The code I'm using does move the timeline but in doing so it somehow breaks the 4 buttons I have in frame 1.
My code in the movie clip:
stop()
function replayMovie(event:MouseEvent):void

I added a website preloader in a separate scene to the main frame of my website and scripted it to go to and Play the main scene or frame of the website when finished loading. I then put a command in the first frame of the main scene for the movie to stop (); at that point. The problem is that now the buttons on the main page don't respond to any behaviour commands to go to and stop at other frames in the main scene. I'm not sure if this is a conflict between the stop(); command in the main scene and the button behaviour command to go to and stop at another frame or an error with the way I'm identifying the scene and frame.

I am working with an iMAC running 10.6.8.I have created a flash file with only the main scene, which has a List button and a Home button. The List button has 20 links as a scroll list, each link installs a movie clip from the library.The problem I am having is the List button works fine until I add the Home button, then the Home button works fine, but the List button only works on the frame that the action is on. Each button is on it's own layer, and runs the whole length of the show, which is 220 frames. I have a stop label at each place a movie clip is to play.
If I remove the Home button from the main scene and put it into each movie clip, how do I tell the movie clip to go to the main scene frame 1?

I have a problem with buttons and transitions and it is similar to a problem I had a couple of days ago that I posted and that was sorted out. I have two buttons onstage (they're inside a movie clip) inside the movie, on the button one I have the following
[Code]....
I have similar code on button two and this does indeed make the buttons move into place as required. My problem is this, I need to load in external swf files into an empty movie clip on the main stage called container. These External SWF files have transitions and this is where my problem is. If I place a normal button on the stage it works but not if the button is inside a movie clip and has actions applied as above. The code next is what I have believe should also be placed on the button to make swf transition one load in.

I am using Flash MX and am a complete novice to Actionscript. I created a movie clip with a dynamic text box that works fine when I test the movieClip scene. I brought that onto the main movie time line and when I go to test the movie, the dynamic text no longer works. I have tried different actionsript options on the main time line and on the movie timeline but cannot figure out where I am going wrong. Could someone give me a very basic walkthrough as to what I need to do to get this to work?

The entire .fla animation consists of nothing but two really long movie clips. Which are placed on frames 1 and 2 of the main timeline. Now for reasons that are too deep for me to go into explaination about my boss is telling me that I have to have everything main timeline -no movie clips. I've tried copypasting all of the frames but they all paste wayyy to large on the main timeline and they wind up in different places on the stage.
How can I move all of the frames from my two movie clips onto the main timeline without everything breaking? Better yet - is there any way to just convert a movie clip into an .fla?

I am building a website in flash for a design class (emphasis on design, nothing taught with actionscript)
I need help trying to figure out the actionscript for allowing buttons inside a movie clip symbol to navigate pages at the parent/root/main timeline level.
With this site I have the mainMenu as a Movie Clip symbol and have the menu items populate with animation inside the movie clip. I need these buttons when pressed to navigate to different parts of the site that are controlled on the main level of the site (outside of the movie clip the buttons reside in).
I have given the buttons instance names, btnDining in the movie clip symbol. The movie clip symbol is call mainMenu. In the main level, I have labels for the different states/pages I want the website to have (dining, accommodations, etc)
[Code]...
I don't know if it is best to run the code from inside the movie clip symbol and call the different view on the main stage/level of the flash or if I try to run from the main stage/level and reference the buttons inside the movie clip symbol.
Please help me figure this out, I am trying to go a little above and beyond on this project. I have been struggling on this for days and I have looked at tutorials, books I have on actionscript, etc.

Is there a possible issue in the way the button is made not coded? I am using Flash CS4. My buttons seem not to work. I do not think issue is in the action script (I am scripting in 3.0). Here is the way I make the button. I add a movie clip on the stage on the over state ( so if you were to double click on that movie clip a new time line would open), at the end of that movie clip there is a simple stop(); code on its own line. I do not add extra frame on the over state. Then I assign the code to the button and of course cross reference its name in the properties and everything is matching up. Just in case here is my code:

I've got a main timeline .swf file called "blank.swf" which contains nothing but two blank movie clips one called called "pproduct", the other called "ppalette". In the script frame of this main timeline I use the simple "Loader = new Loader();" method to load a URL of an .swf file into the "ppalette" movie clip. The "ppalette" movie clip contains several color chip buttons, each of which use the same Loader method above to load an external .swf into a clip. Here's what I want to do: let those color chip buttons, when the "blank.swf" file loads, be used to load an .swf movie into the "pproduct" clip on the main timeline. I'm wanting to be able to swap depths with various movie clips which will take out the movie which has the palette, but I want whatever that palette has loaded in the original "pproduct" clip to stay there.

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.
stop();
ring1926.movie1926.visible = false;
// add a rollover to make the inside movieclip appear

I have a website, basic overview. I have my main movie, which contains the logo and navigation. I have a blank movieclip created with actionscript that loads the individual movie swf files. That works fine. What I want to do is dynamically have the main navigation buttons' text indicate what page you the user is on. Right now the code is on each button instance, example:
Code:
//work button Definition
on(press){
if(_root.pageHolder != "work") {
_root.pageHolder = "work";
_root.mcContainer.loadMovie(_root.pageHolder+".swf", this);
[Code] .....
Each button has the same code, just pointing to their respective pages. Here is the code in the first frame for setCurrentMarker()n function:
var aMenu = new Array(home, jschaer, work, contact);
function setCurrentMarker(){
for(i=0; i<= (_root.aMenu.length-1); i++){
if(_root.aMenu[i] == pageHolder){
[Code] .....
So the variable aMenu holds the moveclip names of the buttons. PageHolder holds the the name of the current page that is loaded. Thats how I change the pages to be loaded. To explain, if you look at the button code, the text for each button is by default greay and when you rollover it becomes black and off and it becomes gray again. That is on the first frame.
On the second frame the text is black. In the code I tried to make the black dynamically, but it didn't work, so I settled for going to the second frame and stopping. How do you get those little scroll boxes where you can put code. I guess its preference, but is it generally good to put the code on each instance of a button or put in in the main frame where your code lies. Is there any benefit either way?

I am targeting a a movie clip. The problem is that all the syntax I have found for targetting clips looks like this: _root.sample_mc.sample2.mc. etc. The problem is, my target clip is in an swf that I've loaded into a container clip from my main timeline. So, essentially, I have a home.swf that loads menu.swf into a container called 'location'. In menu.swf, I have an MC called center, which contains the MC I am targetting called 'target'.

I have a movie. In it are some buttons and a dynamic text field. When I press the buttons is should load text from a database into the dynamic text field. If I run the movie by itself (ie. not by LoadMovie()-ing it into a different movie) the dynamic text field gets filled with text and all is well and good. However, when I use LoadMovie() to load this very same movie into my main movie, the buttons no longer work; the text field stays empty.

I am loading swfs into a movie clip. However, the contact button is not a loaded swf any longer. It's in the main flash page. This is what I want to do. All the buttons load the external swfs except when I click on the contact button that is in the main flash page. I need to get the other buttons to load after I click the contact flash button. Below is the code for the contact button and the one under for one of the other buttons.

I am trying to place buttons inside a movie clip to control the timeline of the same movie clip. This does not seam to work like buttons on the main timeline. When I play the movie the cursor does not turn into a hand and the rolloever affects only sort of work. I have read about controling the movie clip with buttons on the main timeline, but I need one of the buttons to change halfway through the movieclip. I want to be able to jump to interior shots while in the exterior section and vice versa. It would seem that button would work the same way inside a movie clip as they do on the main timeline, but that does not appear to be the case. I am using CS3. Action scrip 2.0 is selected, but I could change it to 3.0 if it would make a difference.
