I'm sure this is something easy that I'm missing, but I can't figure it out. How do I make a button invisible? I need it to be invisible through frame 43 of my movie. I have tried changing the alpha to 0, but it's not letting me change that, except in the edit button mode which changes it for the entire duration and not just through frame 43.

I have assigned the previous button on one page to attach the movie of the page previous to it and then tested my movie. However when i click the previous button the movieclip does load but loads behind the starting moveiclip. So what i want to do is when the previous button is cliked, that page (movieclip) with the previous button on its dissappears and the previous page loads.

I am trying to close on as I am attempting to get this incorporated into my website. It came with the recommendation to try the CS5 today to see if this will meet the requirement at the moment.There is a desire to take custom SWF files (I think there is something called Swish files too?) from various sponsors for advertisement purposes and place them on my website.The implementation was straight-forward to make them work through the webserver.I tried a custom example of making a button that upon mouse click would open up a new webpage in CS5 which did work for me.My problem is since the SWF files are finalized, there is no way to put URL information into those files.After doing a lot of searching around today, it appears that the best way to redirect a user upon click of a video is to:
1) Open up a new Flash
2) Import the SWF video file into the project
3) Create a Invisible Button over top the SWF video so when the user clicks, they are redirected to a specific URL.
But for some reason, when I tried to overlay it with a sample SWF file I imported, there was all this flickering going on to where both were made transparent to one another on the screen not to mention the video wasn't even visible at all.My hope was that the SWF video could be seen clearly while the button remained invisbile to handle the click on the video.Is there someone on the forum that is able to guide me fairly quickly with a fast-path procedure so that I can try this?
I'm trying to put an "invisible" button under part of a large button, but if I put it under the larger button, the invisible button doesn't work. If I put it on top of part of the large button, the large button doesn't work... Is there some way to make it so that both the buttons work...?

View 16 RepliesI am a Flash novice who has worked through a couple of the standard introductory books on Flash in Actionscript 3 and some of the online tutorials. However I cannot work out how to do the following: A button A (I know how to design buttons including invisible ones) is on the stage. A user clicks on this button which then causes a text to appear at another location of the stage. This text includes an invisible button B. The text tells the user to click on it with the result that the text, including the invisible button B, disappears but if the user reclicks button A then the text with button B should appear again.
View 3 RepliesI am making a video player based on the Video Basics tutorials Lee put up a while back.
I am working on a custom controlBar with autohide. Basically, when i mouse over the video area I want them to pop up, and when I mouse out of the video area I want them to disappear. I have setup the controlBar movieclip itself with "show" and "hide" frame labels. Each one plays a fade in/out sequence a few frames long, no big deal. That is the easy part and works fine.
In order to detect the onRollOver and onRollOut events for the video area I made an invisible button on top of it called "butt". It works fine too.
Code: Select allbutt.onRollOut = function() {
trace("out of video");
controlBar.gotoAndPlay("hide");
};
[Code].....
Invisible button layer above controlBar layer: When i roll onto the video area the controlBar pops up, but I cannot access the buttons on it (play, rewind, etc) because they are now underneath the invisible button that monitors the rollOver and rollOut of the video area, which apparently wont let anything under it be clicked. How can I gain access to these buttons?
Controlbar layer above Invisible Button layer: When I roll onto the video area the controlBar pops up fine, but once I mouse over the control bar flash thinks I am leaving the bounds of the invisible button and tries to hide the controlBar right away, which causes me to "re-enter" the invisible button, so it just bounces back and forth between showing and hiding the controls.
How can I monitor the video area and still have access to the buttons on the controlBar once it pops up?
After a few years of using Flash I am creating my first project in AS3 and am running into some problems which are quite common involving targeting movieclips and controlling them. Basically I have a fla which has an MC on the timeline with an instance name of INFO_MC. Now i want this MC to be invisible when the swf starts and I have managed this by using the following code: Actionscript Code: INFO_MC.visible = false;
This is fine. However I get stuck when I try to make INFO_MC visible when I click a button in a loaded swf. How would I target INFO_MC from a button inside a loaded swf. Do I need to add an event to the button and then have a listener on the root timeline which would turn INFO_MC visible when it hears that the button has been clicked?

View 4 RepliesI want to make 5 out of 10 movieclips invisible.
I know this works for each movie :
item1._visible = false;
item2._visible = false;
etc
But whats the correct syntax to do it in the loop. This seems to clear all 10 movieclips.
Code:
for (var y = 0; y<5; y++) {
["item"+(y)]_visible = false;
}
I'm running my head against a wall here and I'm not sure how to tackle this problem. Background I'm making some sort of movie player with subtitles overlayed on it. I'm using the root timeline for my movie timeline because this greatly increases development speed. The subtitles are created with the texttool, and I make them dynamic textboxes because I need to reference them in AS3. I cannot wrap them into a movieclip because they need to be in sync with the root timeline
The user should be able to enable or disable (effectively showing or hiding) the subtitles. The way I did this is by adding an event listener that listens to Event.Enter_Frame on the root timeline and a global boolean to indicate whether subs should be shown. In the enter frame event listener I search for the textfield by root.getChildByName (the name is the same each time) and show or hide the textfield accordingly.

I want to make a button (or graphic) active and visible if another button is clicked. But it must be invisible and unclickable before the other button is clicked. (this is a "find the differences between the 2 pictures game" and I want circles to appear over the differences that the user finds but only after he clicks it)
The button (or graphic) I want to become active has instance name of "sockcircle_btn" The button you click to make it appear is called "sock_btn"
In the first frame of the sockcircle_btn layer, this is my code
sockcircle_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,sockcircledisable);
function sockcircledisable(evt:MouseEvent):void{
sockcircle_btn.mouseEnabled = false;
}
In the sock_btn frame (frame 3) this is my code
sock_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,sockcircleenable);
function sockcircleenable(evt:MouseEvent):void{
sockcircle_btn.mouseEnabled = true;
}
The file is setup to loop between frames 2-3. But the sockcircle_btn never enables even when sock_btn is clicked.

I have a map of states state when a particular state is clicked on, the fla centers on and zooms to that state. When you click on a state a unique ID is pulled from an xml. Using this ID, I can then call all the counties that are part of this state through the county's xml which is also loaded on my stage.or example if I click on Arizona, it zooms and I get a trace of all the instance names of the counties within Arizona.
