How would I make a simple button that when clicked once, acts as if you'd double clicked a video file in explorer, as in it either activates your video player of choice, or plays it immediatly if it's already open.
(I know I've not worded this all that well, please say if you need me to say it more clrealy)
I have a very complicated interface going on in my flash application, with tons of dependencies/variable checking/etc and it would make my life one heck of a lot easier if it was possible to simply "press" or activate an onscreen button via actionscript. I have never seen this referenced, and don't know if it's possible. Search didn't find me anything. Can you do this in some way? "Virtually" activate a button (and thereby all the button's scripting...)

loadTexts.load("speaknote.txt");

textBox.text = this.speaknote;

View 14 RepliesI suppose the title says it all. I can load an external video file (FLV) and I can have it play. I also have the custom buttons made to control the clip. The only thing I have left to do is to have the main timeline move onto frame 2 once the external video reaches its end. I am using actionscript 3 and flash cs 5.5.

I have imported an .mp4 video into Flash using the option "Load external video with playback component." It creates a swf file which references the mp4 file. I chose this option because the video is large. I have used the published html code and it is working perfectly. I am just concerned that I might require other formats to ensure everyone can view it. In the past, I have seen people load mov and mp4,

View 2 RepliesI have flash which contains the map of the United States. Each state is a separate button. When each state is in hover mode, it changes the look/size of that state and adds names of the cities in white on the particular state.I would actually like to add 2 things to this flash.
1) When the state is hovered over, not only will the state change, but the cities belonging to that state (in the list to the right, will highlight)
2) I would like the city names in the list, when hovered over to highlight and to activate the hover mode of that particular state. In addition, that cityName button in the list and the state button should be able to direct to a URL upon hit.
I currently have each state as a button with each state's hover mode changes.I will be changing the cityNames into buttons (they are currently MCs).Once I change the CityNames into Buttons, then modify their hover modes to look like a highlight, then I know to do the following for the URL direct:[code]One of these will go on each text cityname button. But how do I tell the button to also activate the NewYorkState_btn into hover mode?I will also need each State image button to automatically arrange to the front when they are hovered so that they will not be overlapped by other states.Also, What do I do to get each state to hover and simultaneously highlight the appropriate CityName button(s) in the list?I have included an image below (FLashMapHover.jpg) so that it is a bit more clear what I am trying to do.
