Professional :: Put An "invisible" Button Under Part Of A Large Button?

Jun 6, 2009

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...?

Professional :: Make A Button Invisible?

May 6, 2010

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.

Professional :: Immediate Need Is To Take External Swf / Add Invisible Button Overlay / Click To URL

May 14, 2010

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?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Button Triggers Text With Invisible Button?

Oct 12, 2008

I 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.

Actionscript 2.0 :: Click A Button Under An Invisible Button?

Jul 29, 2009

I 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?

Slice-9 Clip Is Invisible In Large CS4 File

Jul 24, 2009

I'm using Flash CS4 for Windows XP SP3.I have a large project (12MB) that was originally created in CS2 (it's an Actionscript 2.0 project) that I have now opened and saved from CS4 (still using Actionscript 2.0). There are many movie clips that use 9-slice scaling in the library. While editing a clip that has a child clip that has 9-slice turned on, that child clip is invisible on the stage. The object is still there, and when I double-click the child clip to edit it, I am able to view the clip correctly, but when I return to the parent movie clip, the child clip is invisible again. When I publish the movie, the child clip appears correctly. When I turn off the 9-slice checkbox, the child appears correctly in the parent again.Any project that I open or create after having this large file open exhibits the same behavior, even if I close the large file. I have to restart Flash to make the behavior go away. If I have a file open before opening the large file, that file is not affected and works correctly.Also, a clip that has nested child clips, one of which is a 9-sliced clip, will be be completely invisible in the parent clip, even if some of the other child clips do not have 9-slice checked. For example:[code]

ParentClip1 has two children. ChildButton2 is one of those children. ChildButton2 has two of its own children, LabelClip1 and BackgroundClip1. If BackgroundClip1 is set to use 9-slice (it has rounded corners), then neither ChildButton1 or ChildButton2 or its children are visible in ParentClip1 (again, when the file is published everything appears fine in the SWF; this happens only in the Flash CS4 IDE).Finally, I can select "Edit in Place" to edit nested elements, but "Edit in Place" is greyed out when I have a 9-sliced clip selected. I can only select "Edit Selected" if I want to edit that, and when I do that I jump out of edit in place mode (though I can still navigate back to the parents using the breadcrumbs).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Linking Invisible Button To URL

Feb 18, 2009

I am having a problem linking an invisible button to a url. I have 3 invisible buttons that have an action script as follows:

button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickHan dler3);
function clickHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void{

ActionScript 2.0 :: Get The Invisible Button To Go To A Frame?

Sep 26, 2011

I have invisible buttons on a movie clip that is loading swfs onto a parent movie clip. I hope I am current in the terminology. Are a parent and root the same? Is saying root absolute and parent relative? I'm digressing.So, this this._parent.gotoAndPlay("contact form"); is going to the keyframe named "contact form" and it will stop there. What I want to happen, is, I want the other invisible button named aboutmeMC2 to go back to the keyframe named "skip" so my contact form will no longer show up and it will load the external swf

ActionScript 2.0 :: Making A Button Invisible

Oct 31, 2008

I've built an image scroller but I'd like to make the 'next' and 'previous' buttons invisible at the first and last frames frames respectively. The code I'm using for the scroll is below. I think the code I'm after should be something like this:

HTML Code:
if (targetX<720) {
btn_Previous.visible = false;
}

But I can't work out where I should put it (or even if it's correct) within the scroller code.

Actionscript 3.0 :: Adding Mouse Listeners To Invisible Large Objects?

Mar 5, 2010

I'm trying to think of the best way to add event listeners(mouse events) to an invisible object which is quite large. A straight forward way I can think of is probably setting the object's alphy property to 0. However since that object is very large, it will probably have a huge impact in performance. Setting invisible to flash however, will stop it listening to events.

e.g. I have a massive area 4000x4000, but I only want the 2000x2000 area to listen to events.

Other methods I can think of is to have the smaller area in the layer below the big area, covering it from view, though I'm not sure if the lower layer can pick up events? another way is maybe just have the big area listen to events, but in the handler I'll write some code to check if its within the boundary of the smaller area.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Get A True Invisible Button That Still Remains Clickable?

Apr 22, 2003

without using alpha 0% in Flash5

this is the problem.

i want to make a button invisible. however, since using alpha 0% will create colordifferences with 16bit colors, I want to use _visible = "0"; (like you would on a MC).

one option is to put a MC inside the button and make that invisible, but obviously you can't without an onClipEvent handler, but if you do so, it doesn't work.

puting the button inside a MC is the second option, and with the _visible command it works... however, it also stops the button from working.

is there a way to get a true invisible button that still remains clickable????
