Alright I know this is gonna seem ridiculous, but I've done it a few times and something always goes buggar.. so using a button already made from a template the code is this:
onClipEvent (load) {
num = 5;
link_num = _root.getMenuSystemOrder(num-1);

i'm designing a website in flash8... now i have created some buttons, and i want that when i click on the button stars will fly from them and there will be a sound... i have already created the animation of the stars seperatly and it's in the library, i have also the sound file.... i just can't remember how to put everything together.... when i'll press on the button the stars will be flying from the button and the sound will play?

View 8 RepliesI have issues with the buttons working from the SWF file which is brought into the main flash site via UILoader.
[Code]...
I gathered that it is most probably due to the fact that I have constructed a button in the improper way.I tried to redo a button but it was the same result.I would like to try to access it through the main timeline. What would be the whole block of code to put a function on the button located inside an external SWF which is called in via a UILoader?
I created a view cart button in PayPal and need to link it to a button in my fla. I know you can do this in AS but I haven't had any luck in my searches. I'm using CS3.[code]

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.
I'd like to learn how to use Components in Flash, and the documentation and tutorials I find are beyond my comprehension. I usually go to FlashKit and just rehash someone's code... but again, I'd love to learn how to use Flash Components.So I did a tutorial on the toggle button, but it was:1. Click button, and a window pops up at different location on canvas2. Click button again, and the same window dissapears.This is for a videogame, and I'd like a button to be click and that same button be populated with a new graphic. What I mean is, the graphic is a skull, and I'd like to have it start as a dark skull (as if a negative value) and when you click it the skull appears... click it again and it's gone (or that negative or dark skull representing it's off).So this differs from the tutorial I did because the pop-up window is the button itself, and the window that pops up would obstruct me from click it again.
View 3 RepliesI simply don't know the syntax.I am attempting to make something similar to a Jeopardy board for a Christmas party at work. I have a grid of buttons that correspond to different questions. The function would be as follows: The button "eng_1" (as in "English for 100 points)is clicked.This makes the button "eng_1_q" (as in :English 100 question) visible, so the question can now be read.The button "eng_1_q" is clicked, and that button is then made invisible. The question can not be seen, now we have returned to the board.The original "eng_1" is now a different colour (or left in it's "down" state) to show that the question has already been asked (not sure if this should be part of the function of "eng_1" or "eng_1_q").My idea would be something like this.
eng_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,][code]...........
So once again, I'm just unsure of the syntax.
Banner needs to be in AS 2.0 and need to know can I use one button with multiple instances and enter multiple click tags inside or do I need to have a button for each individual click tag? For instance: I need to have 12 different clicktags on one banner.Can I use one button and 12 instances of the same button?
View 1 RepliesI was going to download the trial version of Flash Professional CS5.5 but when I got to the download page it wasn't downloading. The "Download now" button was there, but it was unclickable, when I clicked on it it didn't work, plus it was a little dimmer than I remember it was when I downloaded another trial. I'm also using the latest version of Google Chrome and I tried downloading it on IE and Firefox.So, is there any solution to this?
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to put an "invisible" button under part of a large button, but if I put it under the larger button, the invisible button doesn't work. If I put it on top of part of the large button, the large button doesn't work... Is there some way to make it so that both the buttons work...?
View 8 RepliesUsing Flash CS5 for the first time today. I followed these directions to the letter to create a Button as a Symbol in my *fla file: [URL] Up, Down etc. are set to "visible." I have other layers but the button layer is on top. Yet the button does not appear. It works (I have it set to link to a URL), is clickable etc. but you cannot see it.
View 10 RepliesHow do I use the same button twice? When duplicate the button in the library, then alter it, it changes the original button. How do I keep this from happening?
View 1 RepliesI have a decompiled swf which I've heavily modified consisting of two large buttons with identical behaviors. When I assign a url to the button layer after double clicking on the left button, then the right, the behavior are both applied to the same sprite which, when viewed in the library, only represents the left button ("url one"), while the second url is missing. There are two separate layers for each button on the scene, yet I can't get separate urls applied to them because of this.I could just create two separate files, but that would add to the amount of code...
View 7 RepliesI have a FLA file with 4 layers 2 of the layers are Text Boxes 2 of them are masks to make the different words "Shine" Is there a way to make the whole file a button so when people click on it, it goes to a different page?
View 6 RepliesWell I've got some problems changing the Up, Over, Down and Hit state of my button. For example when I have created 4 of those states, and I just normally save my flash file, the next time I open it my states are gone but when I play my animation the button still works with the correct states (the created Up, Down, etc. states). But then again when I enter my editor to create those Up, Over, Down, and Hit states they're just missing?

View 4 RepliesI basically need to put audio behind my flash.It is divided into labels to create different pages and is controlled by buttons.
- Is it possible to put different MP3 audio recordings behind different labels? i.e. if the user clicks on the forward button will that audio stop and the next page's audio begin?
- How do you put audio in flash?
- Can I have an audio on/off button? And if so, how do I code it?
Am going to use Adobe sound booth to make the recordings and save as MP3s. I would have probably around 20 1-2 minute recordings.

I' m having an issue with setting a button hit area.I have imported a bitmap image, and converted it to a symbol button, and set it a hit event.My problem is that the hit area of the button is more than what i want, I want the hit area to be only the bitmap itself, and not its whole extent.The red circle is out of my bitmap picture, but because it is in its extent if I press there it will invoke a hit event.
View 3 RepliesPlay animation and after clicking the button once it no longer works. The button takes you to the frame labeled "shake". I want it to continue to take you to "shake" each time it is pressed but its not.I've got a button inside of a movie clip - actually its inside of 2. The first MC runs through and stops on the stop(); frame and than you click the button that sends the play head to the frame labeled "shake" which plays the next MC with the same button inside of it. I have put the button's action on its own layer on the first frame. The length of that buttons timeline starting from the first action keyframe is the length of the time of the other 2 MC's.

mcButton.shakeButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);

I have a rectangular shaped button. When someone rolls over it, I want a text bubble to appear to the side of that button. The problem is, the mouse thinks it's over the button even if it's over the side bubble which does not exist in the "Up" state. How can I get the cursor to only detect a button ONLY if it's over any part of the "Up" state and not the "Over" state (which because of the side bubble is larger than the original "Up" state.)
Here is a screenshot of the two button states.[URL]... Even if the cursor rolls over the "Over" bubble (and not the Up state), the Over state still shows up.
Im trying some AS3 for the first time. I have a mc without a instance name, sitting inside _root.first_mc.2nd_mc and its timeline I have a frame label at frame ten called "on" and at frame twenty called "off". in the first frame of its actions I found a peice of code that is meant to replace the old onRollover etc.

I run the code and I get no errors, the code isnt actually functioning. Do I have to do full mc naming instead of .this? Or am I doing something else wrong?
I did an flv, added a Cue point which has an invisible button appear on stage with a navigateTourl code. Works fine on my server but this video had to be uploaded to a Drupal site which I knew nothing about and it is up there now. As I look at the video I see the player is different as well as I get the hand cursor all the way thru the video. if I click the mouse it just stops the video then click again and it resumes. How can I disable this so I get the cursor just for the get url button.
View 1 RepliesI am loading 4 external SWF's inside a Master Movie file. I've got 3 of the 4 working. The last one is giving be fits and I can't see the problem. I am housing the external SWF's inside a manually created container (AS2). This last button is being a rebel and it's driving me nuts. I've checked and double-checked to ensure the instance name matches the button name in the code....as well as the name of the external swf. It's all correct, to me. The .swf is in the same folder as the .fla, by the way.AS2 code:

I got four buttons that pull up images in a slide show. I want the fourth button to first pull the image in place and THEN shut down the movie clip. I thought this would be easy, but no. Unfortunately I canīt attach the fla-file on this forum. You could take a look at this:
on (press) {
_root.xnew = _root.mask2._x+(-2-1)*458.5/2;
}
Thatīs the code for the last/fourth button, it pulls the fourth image in place. So thatīs in order.I added this below in the same script:
on (rollOut) {
_root.unloadMovie();
}
It works in a sense. The movie falls into place when I click the button and the movie quits when I move the cursor. But it also means you might shut down the slide show involuntary when you move the cursor going for any of the other buttons.
I've assigned a sound to the button over frame and a different one to the button down frame. When i over over the button the button over sound plays. When I then click the button, the button over sound plays AND the the sound I put in the button down frame plays.
View 8 RepliesWhen a user rolls over an HTML button, I need that button to tell Flash to go to frame 2. I looked at the Flash Help for the addCallback() and followed their example to use javascript to influence Flash without any success even though I followed it to the letter.
