I am working on a Flash file and some of the buttons in the document are not working.When I test the movie the hand cursor appears when I hover over the buttons they don't change colour (as specified in the over state) and the actions don't work. Not sure what is going on here as I created other buttons in the same document the same way and they work fine.
View 3 RepliesI made a few buttons for my .fla and all the states are working but the hit state. So just to see what the problem was I made a new button, which is only text at each stage, so for up i wrote up, down down etc, all the states work but hit, what gives??? hit is after someone clicks it it should be at the hit state correct?
View 2 RepliesI have designed an interface and on one of the pages there are thumbnails of book covers which you rollover each cover and on the "up and down" states ive included the blurb which has some details about that articular book. However not all books appear correctly, the blurbs go behind the other book covers. All the books covers are placed on a single keyfame in the timeline, i have tried it on separate layers as well but got the same result. above the screenshot of the problem: Ive tried many ways to fix it and each time it is the same.
View 3 Repliesi had placed buttons on and the Actionscript 2.0 Play,Pause, Ffwd etc and when i test the video the buttons do not function.
View 3 Repliesi used to create buttons, and use the over state, hit state and used to use the filters that comes up.
Now all of a sudden, I am not able to get those filter settings, to apply for mouse over state, hit state and others in the properties panel.
I already made some buttons that I was planning on using as a menu for difficulty, easy,medium, hard. The buttons are already made with all the states and graphics, so I wanted to add an event listener so that when you click a button for example easy, if the medium button was at its hit state I would revert it back to up, eg:easyButton.addEventListenere(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(e:event) { mediumButton.gotoAndStop("up") or mediumButton.up
but then I realized there is no propertie or function in the simpleButton class to change the state of the button, I know I can make a movieclip, and do gotoAndStop at the up frame, but is there a way to make it work as a button???
I'm updating my website and my menu buttons have an animation on the mouseOver. A simple animated button with the "Up", "Over", "Down" and "Hit" keyframes.
www.brenda-nies.com will show the effect of my menu buttons and the effect I want to keep. Part of my updates are switching to AS3 and that's where my problem comes in. You can't see it on the website I gave you, but in my working file, when I test it (in IE8), everything starts out fine when I first rollover my button, the animation runs through it's cycle and stops. However, if I press down on the mouse button, the animation starts over. The same when I release the mouse button, the animation starts over. I want the animation to run through 1 cycle and stop, then stay stopped until I roll off the button.
So I have a window that slides in when its rolled over. It goes back to its origin when the user rolls off the window. Now within that window I have a scroll feature taht creates a conflict with the window actions when the user tries to use the scrollbar elements. I want the window to stay open, while the user is scrolling and i want the window to close when the user rolls off the window.
It could be easier to have the user click the window open/closed...but I was wondering if there is a way I could keep my original vision...here is what i wrote for the window code:
[AS]window.backdimmer._alpha=0;
window.trigger.onRollOver = function() {
window.slideTo(-360, "_y", .4, "easeoutbounce");

I am receiving a variable into an animated flash floorplan. The variable reflects the room name on the floor plan. I am successfully receiving the variable but need to show the room in a hover state (i.e. button over) when flash loads
View 1 RepliesMy button states aren't working right, and I'm pulling my hair out:The desired behavior is under the "Design... button--notice how when you mouseover the "Our Philosophy" link it turns blue? Why isn't this happening for the "What We Can Do For You" and "Our Process" buttons in the other movieclips?The document is structured as follows:
MovieClip 1: Design: Your Silent Salesperson

---Images

The title pretty much sums up what I am trying to do: I haven't started digging into using script in Flash yet, still being very much a beginner.
I created a simple file using movie clips nested in buttons so that when I mouseover a letter, it bobs up and down, but I can't work out how to make it return to its original "up" state *smoothly* when the mouse is moved away. If it must involve script please be aware I am a total noob!
I have created a map of Scotland, in Flash, with buttons for each region.As you can see (attached), it is pretty basic, with links off to a specific page of a website that I'm developing.1) When a region is clicked, on my current map, I have it redirecting to a page on the website with a QueryString value which populates the two "region" drop down menus. I'd like, when this happens, for the on state that was just selected (clicked) to remain in focus until a user rolls out onto another region. Is that possible? The problem I'm having is that when the map initially loads, I need it to be blank.2) How do I take a copy of images from Flash? I've tried exporting as a gif, but the colours are different and the text is awful looking

View 4 RepliesI've created a banner and made the whole area clickable with an invisible button. But there's one small element in that banner I'd like to give a roll over state for extra fun. This element doesn't need a link hooked to it just to change colour when moused over. When I put the invisible button on top, it blocks the element on top the invisible button is not working either. Since it's a banner I have the document set up in as2.

I've created an image with a dozen irregular buttons. It all works perfectly. Now I want to edit my flash cs5 file in a way so that, when clicked upon one button, the last of the 4 states (the hitbox state) will remain visible until one clicks another button. Now its looping back to the fist state. Im sure there must be an easy way to do this, something with a stop code maybe?
View 4 Repliesis possible to somehow save the state of a flash application so it is able to resume where it left off after being closed. For example, is it possible for a user to save games in an iPhone game written in Flash
View 2 RepliesI have a swf file that works fine on my local drive but doesn't completely work on Safari (or I.E.). I have 7 buttons on the stage. When one is clicked, it plays a mc. When that mc comes to it's final frame, all the other buttons on the stage dissappear (are set to alpha=0). When reverse button is pressed, the frames reverse and all the buttons reappear. However, when I upload the swf file to my server, everything works fine but these buttons do not disappear like they did on my local drive.

I have created a symbol with its own timeline and actions.It works fine in a Scene test but as when taken into a scene and a movie test is carried out, none of the interactive features built into the symbol work.
View 2 RepliesSo I am trying to make a button in flash which when pressed, goes to frame 253, plays until it reaches 264, and then gotoAndPlay frame 527. The code that I used worked, until I added another button which does the same thing but with different frames. Both buttons are on the same page. The buttons seem to work once, then forget what it is they are supposed to do.Here is the code I used:
ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(253);

My main movie is called 'main.swf' and it is importing 'newgallery_1.swf' to the target named 'holder1'. It imports fine some functions work ok for example the movie pans left to right depending on the mouse x position. However when I tried to add something like the mouseOver tool tip I found here on Kirupa to a button on 'newgallery_1.swf' it works when viewed normally but when I import it to 'holder1' it no longer works.
View 9 RepliesWhen creating a website in Flash, I have made the buttons but I am unable to add an action to the buttons. A message appears to say 'current selection cannot have actions applied to it'. I have followed the tutorial to the letter without any success - what am i missing?
View 1 RepliesFor some reason, I can't get any actionscript on the timeline to work. Even something as simple as stop(); on frame 1 of the movie has no effect. I don't get compiler errors either. Now I have noticed that in Edit-Preferences-Actionscript-Actionscript 3 Settings, the Source Path, Library Path and External Library Path are all empty.
View 4 RepliesI have an mc (mcBreakOut1) that contains some links (simple buttons) that sits on the root. The mc gets next highest depth on release and plays to reveal the links. The problem is that none of the button actions in mcBreakOut1 seem to work. I don't know if this has something to do with the getNextHighestDepth() or because mcBreakOut1 has an onRelease=function():Void {} function associated to it that is not allowing any onRelease functions within the mc to work.
View 2 RepliesI made some animated buttons, and now I'm trying to assign script to them to link them to their pages, on the script box it says I cannot assign script to them? Is it because they're animated or am I going wrong somewhere else? It's in Flash CS3, I can upload any files as a link if I've not explained myself well enough

I have rollOver, rollOut, and Release actions on several buttons. I want to be able to keep the same buttons but attach different actions depending on what section of the site the user is in. I have something like:
Code:
myClip.onRollOver = function():Void {
this.swapDepths(5000);
Tweener.addTween(this, {_xscale:110, _yscale:110,
_x:xArray[substring(this,12)] - 10,
_y:yArray[substring(this,12)] - 9,

I tried just reassigning it and also tried
_root['box'+i].onRollOver = function():Void {null}
before reassigning it. neither worked.
