Professional :: Make An Object Appear On Click From Library?
Apr 24, 2011
how to make an object appear on click from library. however it never appears where i want it to on stage. very frustrating. i go to change the x-y cordinates of the object in the library to match exactly with where i have an existing object on the stage but it doesnt seem to corelate with the scene? instead it is way off course.
secondly what is the code for clicking an object on the stage to show a masked or hidden layer? or something like that.
when i get either of the above sorted i might actually get some headway LOl
I'm running macromedia flash mx, and I'm trying to make a linkable swf by following this procedure: I select the object and then convert it to symbol. Then I choose " button " Right click at the object---> actions ---->[+]--->browser/network ----> getURL. I type my url and choose 'self" target.
When I test movie the hand symbol appears at first, but when clicked it turns to arrow. Exactly the same happends when I appload the swf and of course there's no link ...
How can I edit sound from a timeline if I don't have the original sound file? When I right-click my sound in the library, I can't open it in any sound editor program. What do I do?
Whenever I right-click on an element from the scene or the library and I click "Edit with Adboe Photoshop CS5" it brings the element into Photoshop really tiny, and even just by clicking back in Flash without having saved the file fom photoshop it makes the flash element tiny, without the abilitiy to Undo.
This is happening on every one of my flash files and files that I didn't even create.
I have a map of the US and each state has a rollover that changes the color of the state...what i am trying to figure out is how to click on the state and have text appear to the side of the US map and have that text stay up until the user clicks on another state.
If I make a text box inside a fla, then publish, the swf size will be KB.But if I use character embedding in the text box, and embed Chinese, then the swf size will be MB.Is there a way to use a shared library to do the character embedding? BTW, the text box need to be changed at runtime.
I'm trying to figure out how to make an object move vertically or horizontally a set distance once the object has been mouse clicked and then stop. Sounds relatively simple, but I'm pretty clueless at it.
I have a mini-project where I want to make an object grow and move to a different section of the stage when I click on it. I know how to do this part, but what I want is for it to "move" there as if it were a tween, but I want to do it with code instead of with the timeline. I want it to function exactly as it does now, but with a motion tween. I also do NOT want it to jump back to the beginning when another button is clicked, but rather play from where it is. I've also attached the FLA with this.
I want to make a movie object move up & down when I click on the respective buttons. Now I can do this, thats easy... but what I want is when I hold down on the buttons that it moves on its own? And I don't have to go "*clicky* *clicky* *clicky* *clicky*" (thats the sound your mouse makes) To move the object up and down. Is this even possible? (enter newbie joke here)... Heres the code I got: on (press, release, keyPress "<Up>") { _root.block._y = _root.block._y + 4;} Now the other thing I want to do is have it stop at a certain height. Both at the top and the bottom of the screen. The idea being that someone can't scroll the object off the screen online tutorials? new career move?
All I want to do is stop on a frame then click on an object and progress to another frame. MX was simple to perform this, with cs4 it seems to be a mine field any sugestions.
I have is Adobe fl CS4. I succussfully created a scene with all correct layers including a start button action script. No errors works great. Now my next challenge is, how do I cause a word to apear? I created some objects that I want to select and cause a word to appear and color to change, once I hover over the object. It is like the same method when you create a 'start button.' Do I create another sub scene in the action script command?
We have imported our video into flash cs4 (we are using presentation mode to mimic a powerpoint presentation), we have gone into the component inspector and altered it so it doesn't autoplay. When it is on autoplay, it plays the audio throughout the entire presentation. We want the video to start on click (hit the spacebar or return or anything).
I am trying to figure out how I can have my buttons keep a color after it has been clicked or pressed.This is important since I need to make the viewer understand what answer was correct.I have set the down state but I need my button to keep that down state color.
i am trying to make a drawing board(like colouring book) where when i click and MOVE THE MOUSE it colours the object(more like a brush and not as a paint bucket)i would like to know how to colour objects individually(without coloring background) and the most IMPORTANT is there any way to detect what percentage of object had been colored(like if 100% of object coloured something happens!)
I am trying to make an object tween from its starting location to the location of a mouse click. I have a script, but it has a very annoying ease to it.I would LIKE the object to mantain a certain speed during while traveling from its starting location to the mouse click location.
I am working in two different applications, one to be compiled for desktop use (AIR) and one to be compiled for the web. They are part of the same project and use the same visual components, but they are completely different apps. When a visual component is changed in one application then it should also change in the other one. Is this a good situation to use a shared library fla? I am new to the concept of shared libraries and I am considering the options.
On one had I would not have to update 2 applications everytime I change something, on the other, I would always have to recompile the library folder when I do the smallest changes to a component.
I have a movieClip on the stage called "home_btn" and another called "home". When moving over the home_btn movieClip I want the timeline inside of home to play. I used the slice command to get rid of the _btn which works fine, which is proven by the trace command, but it doesn't seem to be able to enter the timeline of home.
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onOver); function onOver(event:MouseEvent) { var selectedButton:Object;
I would like to make a mouse-over effect on an object. The mouse-over effect should work like this: when the mouse cursor is dragged over the object it should glow, but if the mouse cursor remains over the object it should still glow, but another mouse over effect should occur, showing an info box for the object. Until now I have just made the object as a button, and in the "over" box I have made the object glow, by defining it as a movie clip. However, this only works for the glow part. How do I add another mouse-over effect (which is delayed 1 sec) to the same object?
Okay, so i have a circle symbol and i want to have my text around the circle, do i have to adjust each letter seperately until i get them all in uniform or is there some way to "warp" the text as you can in photoshop?
I have multiple angle images of an object and I want the result to be the same as the link here. [URL] I don't know flash at all but it seems like there would be a simple program (even if I have to pay) that allows me to import the images, set the rotation speed and other settings and then hit export to .flv file or something. Does anyone know of a program to do this, or a simple method?
I have 10 objects in 10 layers to make a single logo. I have created them using flash drawing objects. Now I would like each object to come one by one on stage using motion tween. How can I go further? Do I need to make each object a movie clip before set it motion tween? Or do I need to make a single movie with all 10 objects as combined? Please note that I need each object to come on stage one by one (not a whole logo on once). Please provide help or any example tutorial link.
Ok. So heres what I am trying to do. I want one movie clip to follow another one that I move around with actions on the main timeline.The problem is that the follower clip is linked to a class file and I cannot find a way to find the players position.
I created a program that sends images to a server, use the browse function of a FileReference object to check the files when you click a button "send pictures. But I would like to open the program he ask for the files but do not know how.
I just started playing around with as3 and I have a function for mouse clicks that draws a shape on each click. However the mouse click event does not appear to work unless I click a movieClip object I placed in the middle of the screen. Is there a way to make the mouse click event recognize when I click anywhere on the screen?
I am building a simple game in which you must click on a square to activate it, meaning when you click on it you have control of its movement. I then want to be able to click on the square again so that you don't have control of it, and then you can click on another object in the game.
on clicking the Search Icon , a search bar will be visible (ON) if user click anywhere on the stage the search bar will be NO visible(OFF) OR user click on ICON again the search bar will be OFF but it Stage CLICK is triggered without clicking
I'm using a CLICK event to add a MovieClip to the stage from my library. Within the added MovieClip is a child MovieClip animation with a stop() on it's first frame.For some reason when I add the parent MovieClip to the stage on CLICK, the child clip immediately starts playing, even though it has a stop() on it's first frame. This is how I'm doing it:
Code: Select allstage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mouseClick); function mouseClick (event:MouseEvent):void {
