Actionscript 3 :: Buttons To Direct The User To Another URL?
Jun 1, 2010
My apologies if this has been fully addressed before, but I've read through several other threads and still can't seem to get my file to work.
My actionscript code is at the bottom of this message. I created it using instructions from the Adobe website: [URL]..
I believe I have all of my objects set to the correct type of symbol (button) and all of my instances are named appropriately (see screenshot here:

I'm working on a slide show that auto plays but I want the user to be able to click the numbered buttons to go to that slide. See below link for the slide show.[URL] I know this is simple but I've tried on release gotoandplay and I tried some event handler code but don't know AS3 at all.

I was wondering, if I had an image with multiple sections that are highlighted on rollover(like a car), and I wanted to give the user an opportunity to select multiple sections and on release they are taken to a page that displays relevant info on each clicked section, how would I go about doing that?

At the end of each video, i want an arrows to appear (left or right [or both]) in order for the user to click, so that they can "go into the next room" by watching the next video.
The "undefined" part is to check if an object has a variable set, if the variable is not set it will be "undefined".
To know which is the current video, I think i need to store the object that relates to that video once it starts playing. So any time a video starts, store that object in the variable. But im not sure how to do this.[code]...

I have 2 versions of the same code, both to make 3 simple buttons work to move the timeline to a keyframe to change the page for user navigation. What is the difference? Is one way better than the other?
HTML Code:
stop();
var button1:SimpleButton;
var button2:SimpleButton;
var button3:SimpleButton;
function handleCLICK( pEvent:MouseEvent):void {

I have a presentation which is split into several different movies which are linked together by buttons, all I am trying to do is add a sound which will play when the user moves over the button, and then another that will play when they click on the button; I got this to work once but it cut off the sound because it loaded a new movie, so I found the onSoundComplete command, which I've tried in a load of different ways but nothing works...
here's the code i've got at the moment:
on (rollOver) {
mySound = new Sound(this);
mySound.attachSound("twisted1");
mySound.start(0, 0);
} on (release) {
mySound = new Sound(this);
mySound.attachSound("twisted2");
mySound.start(0, 0);
twisted2.onSoundComplete = function(loadMovie("history.swf", "this"));
}
And this is the error that I am getting:
**Error** Scene=home, layer=links, frame=1:Line 12: ')' or ',' expected twisted2.onSoundComplete = function(loadMovie("history.swf", "this"));
I've tried a few things but i just seem to get more errors...

I have created an activity in which the user is invited to click on some buttons. There are approx 60 buttons to choose from with 7 of them being the correct ones. If the user clicks on 1 of the incorrect 53 buttons i want a hint pop up to appear to steer them in the right direction. Is there a efficient way of doing this without having to create a function and apply it to all the incorrect buttons? Perhaps an event listener? (AS2).

I have an animation that I want the user to be able to move back and forth by clicking Next_btn or Back_btn buttons. Here's what I've done.
[Code]...
I can navigate through the movie correctly, until I navigate back to frame 1 ("start"). After this, when I click on the Next button, the movie goes to the last frame without stopping at "KMT2".

What I want to achieve is active links like in HTML websites.I have 3 buttons on the stage, when the user clicks on the first button it should be highlighted and should remain in that position till the user clicks on the next button. When he clicks on the 2nd button the previous one should come in normal state and the 2nd one should become highlighted and so on....

I have 5 buttons. Each of which have different movie clips in the up, over and roll out state. To be more specific, each button looks like a window. on the up state curtains cover the windows. on roll over the windows open. on roll out they close again.
What I want to do is ON PRESS force the button to go to its roll out state and then cut off all user activity from all the buttons until the transition to the next page takes place.

that said, i have a simple movie clip animating that i want the user to be able to click different buttons to cycle through different versions of this movie clip. so, my question is, how do i allow the user to click one of these 4 buttons, and have the movie clip change to the corresponding version of that movie clip? again, this is all pretty basic stuff and i'd like to keep it as simple as possible, since i'm still new!

I'm using AS3 in timeline. I have a three page movieclip (dynamic_mc). Each page is labeled p1..p3. On p1 I have an input text box named userName and button named next_1. On p2 I have a dynamic text box named greetings_1, an input text field named schoolName and two buttons (back1 and next2).On p3 I have another dynamic text box named greetings_2 and two buttons (back_2 and next_3).
On p1 user enters name, which is captured on p2. Once a click next button on p1, I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at FlashCS4_Curriculum_fla::lesson9_pg6_dynamic_122/frame10() at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop() at FlashCS4_Curriculum_fla::lesson9_pg6_dynamic_122/goP2()
Why do I get an error when using buttons? Is there a better way to capture input text?
Here is the code by page.
//page 1 = p1stop();
var hisName:String;
next_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goP2);function goP2(evt:MouseEvent): void{ hisName =userName.text; gotoAndStop("p2");
} // page 2 =p2 greetings_1.text= "Welcome :" +hisName;var school:String;
//next buttonnext_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goP3);

I am working on a few websites at the moment, one of the being my online portfolio, as well as my website for a sleep product I am trying to sell. I have very little experience with AS3, last time I created a website AS2 was used. I've tried a few online tutorials, but nothing gets the job done, there is always some error..I have a index.swf which loads the default home.swf.There is also an about.swf, contact.swf, order.swf, and All I need is for the external swf to pull up when the corresponding button is clicked, and when the next button is clicked, for the current swf to unload and the new swf to load. This was so simple with AS2, one would think things might be as simple if not easier.

I have a news rotator that is populated from an RSS feed. The rotator has a timer that cycles through the news items, displaying a link and image and title for each item. I have the put in three buttons for the user to control the item that is displaying. A pause, forward and backward button.
My issue is that I'm not sure how to implement the button without messing up my timer that is already running. I was able to do the Pause button, which was simply to stop the timer. The forward and backward buttons are a bit more tricky. This is what I have so far. Note that I have much of the code duplicated because I needed to initialize the objects for the first timer index. After the first item, the code runs from the timerHandler() function.
PHP Code:
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;

I have a flash site that has a presentation page it has a menu of two buttons (1) to take you to a slide show and (2) that takes you to the gallery. These are the only two buttons that seem to work in control test movie, I get no errors. The only button that is connected is the slideshow button (I haven't done the gallery yet). This button takes you to frame two. Where I have the main website. It has its own menu that spans across the entire website which is 25 frames.
Each frame represents a new page. I have mini menus at frames 3, 5, and ten. That are supposed to just advance the user to correct frame labels and stop. The only buttons that work are the ones in the first frames. The rollovers appear to work on all the pages when I advance the movie using the [ . ] key but I get no trace statement which means that it is not being acknowledged, all my buttons are named properly I believe so here is the code as well, all is in frame one:
stop();
//handle events for buttons...
Gallery.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
Home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
Location.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
Guest.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
Lodging.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);

I am trying to create a nav system that expands to show sub-sections when the user rolls over main section buttons.Let me describe exactly (as best I can) how this would work:A vertical list of 5 menu buttons is stacked and distributed at equal distances.The user clicks a button (lets say Button 2) and Buttons 3, 4, 5 slide down to reveal the sub-nav below Button 2. When the user clicks or rolls back to any of the original 5 buttons, that subnav closes up.Does anyone know of a good tutorial for this type of nav or have anything I might be able to dissect and work from?

The following is my codes. This is still work in progress; so, you will see some functions with empty contents. Plus, this is my first Flex application; please bear with me. This is a quiz application that gets the questions and answers to each questions from a ColdFusion web service. There are three types of questions, True or False, Multiple Choice with single selection, and Multiple Choice with multiple selections. So, based upon the question type, the application would dynamically generate the appropriate amount of radio buttons or check boxes for the users to select. I got these working. The problem that I am having is, I am not sure how to check what the users have actually selected. In some other forums and posts on other web site, it said that I can use event.currentTarget.selectedValue to get the user selection. But when I actually do it, I got a run-time error saying, "Property selectedValue not found on mx.controls.FormItem and there is no default value." My question is, what do I need to do to capture the user selections?

I need to start using AS3 for my job. So, I have gotten a great deal of help setting up classes with another co-worker's help and a myriad of tuts. Basically, What I need to do is, set up an XML navigation/subnav (got it), and use those links to populate a series of checkboxes. These check boxes will then be used to populate text in a dynamic text field (got that ready to rock). For example, of the user selects in the nav Agreement > TOC, they might get presented with 4 options:
Told and Agreed
Told and Disagreed
Lost Connection before Agreement
Was Not Told - Cancelled
How would I use XML to direct the MC that holds the check boxes (in some cases, close to 50 of them) to the right frame? I can pull from an XML doc, sure, but have never had the need to use it to run a movie clip before.
Here's the XML I'm basing this off of:
Code: Select all<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu_content>
<level style = "main.xml">
[code]....
So, in this example, How would I get "Balance" to go to the right frame in my (for the sake of argument) checkBox_MC ?

I'm using FMS 3.5 to record streams to the server as flv files, and would like the ability to directly download those generated flv files. Assuming these files are sitting in my applications/recorder/streams/_definst_ directory, how can I open up this directory to allow direct download via a url? Something like http://<ip ddress>/applications/recorder/streams/myfile.flv. I'm guessing this is just something that I need to put into one of the configuration files, but I'm having a bit of trouble figuring this one out.

We all know that it's impossible to do native print in a browser that bypasses the browser's print dialog, however, we have the need to do a direct print, ideally where we could also select a particular printer, and other settings programmatically.
I know that ActiveX plug-ins exist that do this, however, we all know that ActiveX plug-ins only work in IE. Is there an existing plug-in, either in Flash or Silverlight that allows us to programmatically set printer properties and then direct print without opening the browser's native dialog?

I have this project that I am trying to complete. The xml is written, and all the AS is written out. But I am lacking one small feature. I would like for my main swf to load other swf's, flv's, etc etc based on a direct call feature. For example: If I would like to load myFLV.flv and I type into the address bar of a browser or link to it via HTML the address [URL]
That the SWF will grab the data after the "#" and know what file to call...make sense? I have the following but it does not do exactly what I need it to, but rather only tells me what the directory is of my main swf as opposed to grabbing the tail end of the url as I hoped it would so that I could use that information to load the called movie.
