I am using Flash CS5 on an iMAC, running OSX 10.6. I created a file that uses a Combobox on the first frame, and I would like to connect the buttons to go to and stop/play on multiple labels.
View 2 RepliesWhat I am trying to do is have multiple play/stop buttons on one page. I've been watching tutorials trying to figure out the best way to do this, but it seems there are so many different ways. I am making the band's name as the play/stop button (one color as play, a different color as stop). I've successfully done that to one button. What I'd like to be able to do is add anywhere from 3-6 songs (all different bands/buttons) per page.
Also, if one song is playing and another song is clicked, I would like to stop the first song and start whatever one is clicked so there aren't multiple songs playing at one time.
And if it's not too much to ask, once one song is either done playing or another is clicked, if it could go back to the first state of the button, that would be amazing.
I will paste my code below for the button I have. If there is a simpler way to do it, I'm totally open to that. Like I said, there seems to be so many ways to do everything, I'm not sure which is best.
var loadSnd:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Song1.mp3");
var thisSnd:Sound = new Sound();
var sndTrans:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
thisSnd.load(loadSnd);

I have searched, and maybe I am searching wrong.. but I cant seem to find the same situation I am looking for. I have a "Home" scene that if I can explain it right by listing the individual frames.... would play like this:
frames 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 (then stop automatically.... then after the "ART" button was clicked .. it would continue and play like so) 11,12,13,14,15 then at frame 20 it would go to the "ART" scene
I am sure most figured it out that I have an intro scene.. that essentially builds the page and finishes at frame 10. And when a button is pressed.. it would play my Transition (which is just the same frames copied and reversed) ... and then go to the desired scene. So far I have it stopping at frame 10, that works smoothly.. but I dont know where or how or what to do to make a certain button play to the end then to go a specific scene.
I want to do something that is probably very simple, but I'm having difficulty.
I want to create an audio player with play, stop, and pause buttons that I can then import into Fireworks/Dreamweaver.
I have my mp3 audio clip and made my play and stop button. I am using cs4 and as3. I want to have the play and stop button on my main page but still have the music play when the users clicks onto one of the buttons which takes them to a new page.
View 6 RepliesWe are using default CS5 skins with an flvplayback component built through action script 3. When playing certain videos (and only certain videos, however there isn't yet a pattern), the play/pause, stop & seek buttons are completely unresponsive. They don't change stats on hover & they are unclickable.However, the fullscreen button does always work, and upon going fullscreen and coming back out, the buttons now work again. So far, the problem was seemingly at its worst displaying a video that was encoded with Sorenson spark (an older codec) and we wondered if it had to do with the file itself, the headers, anything of that sort. But the fact that the skin and buttons work fine once entering and exiting fullscreen - that is perplexing.
View 1 Repliesi'm trying to do everything in flash vs is exporting the menu to dreamweaver, and i can seem to have the buttons go to a certain frame and stop? this is the action script i'm using in the dropdown menu mc to get the button to work because if i do it in the to level of the scene i get error saying can access button
news_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, news)function news (event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop(2)}
but the problem is if i put it in the dropdown menu mc then it just makes the button disappear and doesn't go to frame?
I have a flash site that has a presentation page it has a menu of two buttons (1) to take you to a slide show and (2) that takes you to the gallery. These are the only two buttons that seem to work in control test movie, I get no errors. The only button that is connected is the slideshow button (I haven't done the gallery yet). This button takes you to frame two. Where I have the main website. It has its own menu that spans across the entire website which is 25 frames.
Each frame represents a new page. I have mini menus at frames 3, 5, and ten. That are supposed to just advance the user to correct frame labels and stop. The only buttons that work are the ones in the first frames. The rollovers appear to work on all the pages when I advance the movie using the [ . ] key but I get no trace statement which means that it is not being acknowledged, all my buttons are named properly I believe so here is the code as well, all is in frame one:
stop();
//handle events for buttons...
Gallery.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
Home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
Location.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
Guest.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
Lodging.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);

im trying to navigate through a movie clip and stop at frame labels using individual buttons to call to individual labels while being able to see the on the way to the frame(for a blurred effect).my goal is to jump from point A to point F to point Z and see all the frames in between and visa versa.

Below is code that is manual input - I had set up a dynamic txt field in flash named it : raffle_tix_remain When loaded on to the host I can manulally update the xml code and the change will take effect. raffle_tix_remain.text = root.loaderInfo.parameters.raffle_tix_remain;
My question: Since the raffle_tix_remain is a manual input from a user to xml Is there a way to tell flash once it refreshes and "raffle_ tix_ remain" goes to (0)zero gotoAndPlay(2); and let it play like a "sold out" sign i guess that would be a if else statement.

In cs5.5, I have a frame with a movie clip on it. When a user clicks a button, I want the movie clip to stop and the user to be directed to another frame. It is correctly redirecting to a different frame, however, the movie clip is still on the stage and playing. How can I modify the following code to make it not just go to a different frame, but also stop the movie clip that is on that frame from playing?
btn_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(10);
}
Using CS5 and Code Snippets, how do I tell the Timeline that when it gets to a specific frame to go to another one? I want it to go back and play the first frame to create a looping effect.
View 3 RepliesI made this movie in actionscript 2 and it needs a trigger. I have a counter, an integer called totalcount, and when that totalcount reaches 9, the program should jump to another scene.So I tried to put following code into the main timeline:
if (totalcount == 9) {
gotoAndPlay....
}
But even though I put a dynamic textbox on the stage with variable name totalcount, it works but it is never triggered.

I'm fairly new to flash so please excuse my lack of knowledge...using AS3 basically I had a situation arranged where when a button was clicked and flash would then display a certain image by jumping to a label on the timeline, and by clicking a different button a different image would be shown. this was working pretty well but for layout reasons I had to split these buttons and the timeline that they relate to up into separate movie clips. obviously the buttons dont do anything now, but what i'm hoping to find out is how I can link these items back up despite them being in separate movie clips. is this possible? i'm just wanting them to do the same thing they did when they were both in the same movieclip.
View 10 RepliesI have a button on the main stage, and a movieclip "qccontent". When the user presses the button, I am trying to check if the MC is on a specific frame label. The MC starts on a stopped frame labeled "closed". Right now, each time the button is pressed, it currently goes and plays the label "closemenohit". It is not reading the first part. Am I doing something wrong?

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.

Observe the Flex program below (I'm using Flex Builder 3 w/ 3.5 SDK). The second combobox is conditional on the first. If a 'first name' is chosen, then you are allowed to choose a 'last name'. If 'none' is chosen, then you are not allowed to choose a last name, but rather prompted to choose a first name.
To see the mysterious issue of the disappearing labels, run this program and choose a first name. Then choose a last name. All is well. Then choose 'none' in the first combobox. The prompt of the second combobox changes back, and the last names are removed. All is still well. Then try selecting a first and last name again. You will see that after choosing a first name, the last names do not appear, although the spaces for them do (and if you debug the program, the correct data appears in the dataprovider).[code]...
I'm developing an app consisting of 6 frames with 4 or so ComboBoxes on each frame. ComboBox data has been declared through Component Inspector > dataProvider. I want the user to be able to return to previous frames to review their selections made in each ComboBox. However when changing frames, the label returns to its Prompt condition. How do I override the DataProvider data when a selection has been made, to keep displaying that selected label while the user navigates? I've tried a few possible solutions but keep getting an error 1119 message dealing with fl.controls:ComboBox.[code]
View 0 RepliesHow can I send a combo box'es labels to a text box? I would just like it to display whatever the user picked in a text box. I tried using a listener:
objComboListener = new Object();
objComboListener.change = function(eventObj){
mon.text = eventObj.target.value;
} mon_cb.addEventListener("change", objComboListener);
mon.text is the textbox, mon_cb is the combo box.
There are two problems with the above code though:
A. It displays my data, and not the labels.
B. It only displays the first selection. E.g.; if I choose something, it will display that thing, but if I choose another choice, it continues to display the first selection.
I want to have two "play" and two "stop" buttons to control 2 different mp3 files within the same frame(page). One Play and one stop per mp3 file.
I use the code underneath that works just fine with one sound. But, how do I apply action script 3 to control the "play" and " stop" of the second Mp3 file. I tried creating new buttons with action script 3 in a new Movie clip but, I get a bunch of errors

i want to create a small music player (that play only 1 song) which contains- a Play button - button symbol a Stop button - button symbol a title (show what song is currently playing) - movie symbol music - i guess movie symbol
the only problem i couldnt solve (the rest are working fine) is that the play and stop buttons arent working. the scripts i wrote for them are:
on(press){
a.play();
}
[Code].....
respectively, while "a" is the instant name for the symbol which contains the song.
i think i figured out that the problem is that in the music symbol there is only 1 frame (which contains the song- i just went to frame #1 and dragged to the edit screen the song from the library).
I have several movie clips playing in sequence for which I have de folowing code:
ActionScript Code:
movie2_mc._visible = false;
movie3_mc._visible = false;

I am trying to control Sound with actionscript and play and stop buttons.
This is the script I have in frame one of my scene.

playB is the instance of the play button stopB is the instance of the stop button the sound intro is on its own layer and is selected as a streaming sound. My problem is that when I stop and start the sound with the buttons the sound starts from the beginning instead of playing from the frame it is in.
I have a flash movie with 3 buttons I am trying to link relativley to pages within my site, I have one working fine but can't get the others to link and when I try it makes the one that is working, work no more..

import flash.events.MouseEvent;var getIndex:URLRequest = new URLRequest("../index.html");
//---Enter Button---\
[Code]....
I'm using the action script 3 code below to run my main menu buttons, there are 7 in total. The trouble I have is when a video is playing, the user might not stop a video playing before clicking on another main menu button. So the user could go to a different section with video still playing with the audio etc.
// News
content_mc.news_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, link1);
function link1(Event:MouseEvent):void {
content_mc.gotoAndPlay("news");
}
So I thought I'd write an if statement, that asks if video video is playing then stop(). Trouble is can't get one to work.
How can I get the pause button to stop sounds and music, and the play button to start them up again? As of now, it only stops the animation, and lets the music continue.
