I have a button which appears on multiple frames. I want to define an action on the button rather than each instance. Is there any way that I can do this in CS5?
View 4 RepliesSo I have a code, shown below:
[Code]...
and I want to add multiple buttons, not just this one. I figured out by trial and error that I couldn't just consecutively list the instances, I also found I couldn't just replicate the code and change the instance names. I just need to know how to go about having multiple buttons/clips.
What I have are a series of panels in one movie clip defined by one button on a seperate layer. The script on the button is this:[code]When you press on a panel, it scale increases, and when you press it again it decreases. What I want to do is make it so that only one panel at a time can do this, that is, when one panel is pressed and scaled, none of the other panels will be able to until that panel is pressed and scaled back.

This clip is in another movie clip that has the script for the panel's scaling when they are pressed, which is this:

I am trying to help my colleague figure out how to make a button act like the Mac buttons do. In other words, when your mouse gets closer to a button, they will steadily grow larger. He found a piece of code, so i put it in my FLA file, closed my eyes, then peeked and hoped it worked. It didn't.
I have attached the FLA to this message. If you remove the top portion of the code [the portion between the // lines], you will see the file works fine as the buttons will advance frames. But when i put the top piece of code back [the piece my colleague gave me] i get error messages.bottom line is - what we're trying to do is make those triangle buttons "grow" as the mouse moves closer to them [like Mac buttons do].
I have sound attached to the button, and it's played when the button is pressed. How to do that after pressing button, sound is played continuously? Without action script.

If I wanted to change an action from a button click to a frame-based action, what do I use instead of onPress? The hints from the AS editor are all click-based.
I have a slideshow that is looped ... it contains 5 slides.I am using a gotoandPlay action to control the slide show.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
}
There is a fade transition between slides.When a button is released ... I want to gotoandPlay (frame 98) ... and then have it stop 10 frames later on (frame 108). Frame 98 includes the transition ... if I just gotoandStop on frame 108 ... I loose the transition.Is there any way to incorporate a stop action, after a gotoandPlay action on my button ... without naming instances etc.I.E.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
STOP ON FRAME 108 INTEGRATED HERE
}
Everything I have attempted is not working.
I just want to make a simple button action using actionscript 2 but I can't get it to work! I'm sorry for even asking but I've been at this for too long now for it to not work I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 and I do the following --
File -> New Flash File (ActionScript 2.0)
Insert -> New Symbol
Name - test
Type - button
Export for ActionScript
Identifier - test
And then draw it in using the keyframes and add the code to 'Actions - Button' for my button
Code:
on(release) {
trace("trace");
}
I click on the button and it animates but no action event in the trace?
what the actionscript would be to make a button be clicked and held down with the mouse a certain amount of seconds before executing an action???
View 8 RepliesHow can I get an action to follow another action when a button is clicked? When a button is clicked, I want the timeline to go to a certain frame and play and when it's done playing, to go to another frame and play. I basically want two actions in one function.

I am using code from a tutorial that I downloaded to get an Home.swf to preload in my "index" page.the problem is that a part of the code reads
movie1_btn.onPress=function(){
startPreload ("Home.swf");
}
which means that I have to create a button to get the .swf file to load, how do I edit this code so that the action begins on it's own at that frame?
Say I create a movieclip which acts like a button, meaning that it has an over state, out state etc. I then create five instance of this movieclip and give each one an instance name e.g. b1, b2, b3, b4 and b5. Is there anyway of removing the states actions of say b1 without having to create a new button just for this? I was hoping there was something like b1.turnOffEffects = true (In my dreams, lol).
View 1 RepliesI've read on the net that actionscripting from the action layer will result in a more readable file once published, as apposed to attaching onClipEvent functions which slow down readability.
For this reason I am trying to add variables to a MovieClip I have on the stage with an Instance Name of Player. However I wish to assign the MovieClip variables from the actions layer using the MovieClips Instance Name.

On my first frame, I've placed an MC with an instance name of "ball" and entered the following script:
ActionScript Code:
ball.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
this._x -= 10;
}}
How do I create a time delay between the key being pressed and the ball changing position?
I have an animation and i want a variable to eb set to false once it is done. I was currently using the statement below when i simply used addChild(name); to add it.
MovieClip(this.parent).hero.landing = false;
However i now changed that statement to gamelevel.addChild(name); and the above statement no longer works properly, it changes the variable to false, but it resets immediately after. How do i reference this properly?

View 11 RepliesI'm wanting to use an XML file to define swfaddress deeplinking buttons so that "next" and "previous" buttons can be easily changed out by the client without having to edit the .FLA file.
In other words the .FLA file will have a series of labeled keyframes "frame_01," "frame_02," and so on the "next" button will have code in it that parses an xml file and inserts the correct frame for the deeplinking.
Code:
// LOAD XML
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();

I've created an animated button where when you rollover it - a message box appears. My problem is that the button hit area is the whole size of the movie clip (including the message box), so the box will appear even if you haven't rolled over the button.
So basically I want to define the hit area to just the size of the button itself, rather than the whole movie clip.
How i can define a hit area for my movie clip. i want determine accident of two MovieClips and I need to define a hit are for them.
View 4 Repliesi very often create buttons using movieclips ( basically i cannot remember when was the last time i used an actual "button")usually this stems from complex behaviours i have to script. in this scenario i normally draw a transparent sprite into the clip which acts as a trigger. these transparent triggers can under certain situations cause performance lags. now i wonder if there is any special function in as3 which i maybe overlooked that can act as a trigger without causing performance issues?

View 11 RepliesI am developing a multiple choice question answer. I have a movie clip in frame 2 where the radio buttons and question choices are displayed.I am trying to define a event for the radio button in the movie clip's first frame. But i show questions in random order. Say for example the first question to show is fifth I move the movieclip to 5th frame. The event is not firing since it is declared in the first frame.Should i place the button event code in each and every single frame or is there anyother option for this.
