I have a swf file that has numerous buttons on it, and when I hover over them images appears. But when my images appears, I have other buttons (whose layers are on top of this current button layer) also appear on top of my images. I tried merging all my buttons onto one layer, but that doesn't seem to work either.
How would I be able to not make those other buttons appear on my hover state without using ActionScript?
I have an animation that shows items highlighted in a diagram. As the items are highlighted, the audio will play (to explain the animation). because we are creating this for people with possible disabilities, we also created captions with text for the audio. So, in separate layers, we created speech bubbles and text that is synchronized to the animated actions on the screen. this will also be synchronized with the audio. We want to have a button (close captioning button) that when users press it, they see the text captions and if they press it again, they don't see the text captions. my questions are
1) what will be the easiest way to create the effect i am looking for?
2) what actionscript command will i need for the button's actions?
is there a way to hide/show layers on the click on a button?
View 2 RepliesI have a layer I am using for construction purposes, it shows though in test movie. If I go to publish settings and untick include hidden layers on the flash tab, when I test movie, my cars don't appear along the guide lines at all and just pop into view as movie ends. How does one hide turned off visibility layers during test movie without affecting hidden guide lines ?

I need to show and hide multiple DIV layers by clicking on buttons inside an embedded flash movie. I looked around and the closest I got was this tutorial here:
[URL]
but the problem is I need 10 buttons to each show one layer while hiding the other ones. For example, I click button 1, layer 1 shows, then I click on button 5, layer 1 is hidden and layer 5 shows etc.
How can the above code be split so instead of showing all DIV layers at once, it shows one and hides the rest??
is it possible for me to hide a movie clip by the press of a button that is on a differant timeline?
here is my code for button.
stop();submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, subClick);
failed_txt.background = false;failed_txt.border = false;
var myName:String;var myPass:String;

I have a photo gallery with a navigation button that allows for additional photo categories that I don't want to appear. Unfortunately, I can't open the .fla as it appears to have been created with a newer version of Flash. The code in the config.xml file is basically:
<navigation> <menu 1> <content>
</menu 1>
<menu 2> <content>
</menu 2>
etc.
</navigation>
Is there a tag I can add to make the navigation link disappear?
I am using actionscript 3 to make a point and click game. On frame 1 there are two buttons, button 1 and 2. On frame 3 there are two buttons, button A and B. I want it so that after I click button 1 on frame 1, button A on frame 3 will be hidden or when I click button 2 on frame 1, button B on frame 3 will be hidden. The buttons that are hidden do not do anything when you click them.

View 3 RepliesI am trying to seamlessly loop specific layers containing .swf or .flv movies infinitely, independent of other layers in the timeline.I have attempted to use the gotoAndPlay("x"); method, but the target layer always freezes on the last frame for about .5 seconds before executing the gotoAndPlay command. The only situation in which it doesn't freeze is when frame "x" is the first frame of the project.No other actionscript is being used anywhere else in this project

View 7 RepliesI am colorblind.I need to change either the color of the background or the color of the text on the layers section on the Timeline.I simply cannot read/see what is currently showing.It is a very light blue background with white text and white dots for seeing, locking, or setting the outline color.I need to either change the text color and dots to black so I can see them, or try to change the background color to a dark blue so I can read the white text.Changing the text color would really be my preference. Adobe hasn't been very concerned about colorblindness when developing these products. I can barely make out all the light grey/grey/dark grey/grey stuff.

View 2 RepliesI'm having some trouble with my Flash Professional CS5.5. When I'm doing freehand drawing it shows the edges around every stroke I make. I have tried going to the menu, View -> Hide Edges and also pressing Ctrl+H. It does make the edges go away from the most recent stroke, but at the next stroke it reappears. Flash also started to crash from time to time, kinda randomly starting with not showing me the layers and then crashing completely giving me an error message talking about some file. This started about the same time as the edge thing. How to reset the settings? (I'm doing simple frame by frame animations in a ActionScript 3.0 document, if it's of any importance).

View 1 RepliesI have been tasked to create banner that has four mouseover areas. The main body of the banner--which includes hyperlinks--and the background of the entire banner must change as the user mouses over the four areas. See the diagrams at the following link (it is not working properly):I attempted to complete this task as follows, but it really isn't behaving properly. I created a layer of buttons and text, and set the alpha levels to 0 for the "over" state of each button. I then created four separate layers containing the appropriate content. When the user mouses over a button on the left, the proper layer would be displayed. I planned to use Actionscript to accomplish this; pseudocode here:
IF button1.mouseover == true THEN { display layer1, hide layers 2, 3, and 4 }
IF button2.mouseover == true THEN { display layer2, hide layers 1, 3, and 4 }
IF button3.mouseover == true THEN { display layer3, hide layers 1, 2, and 4 }

I'm trying to create a type of news flash file with four panels, each with a different coloured background and diferent text (from xml file). Each panel will show for say 4 seconds. My flash file has four layers, each with a different coloured background, and following each other on timeline to create one movie. The actionscript is stopping at the end of the 1st layer on the timeline, so only the first panel is showing text from the xml file, but not the other three.
