Actionscript :: Add A Simple Restart Level Button?
Nov 5, 2011
In a mini game I made, I wanted to add a simple restart level button. All goes well during the first run of the game, but after hitting the restart button (which essentially just unpauses it by flipping a few booleans and such) the action listener to move the character in the game isn't responding. I put a trace() of a boolean switch for the action before and after hitting reset, and prior the value is correctly being displayed, but after the value is not.
I know I'm probably going to be asked to post my code, but it's quite long and unorganized, so I'm curious if there is a known issue relating to this.
How I can simply restart an swf file from a button within that file (with actionscript 3). I'm creating a demo for the standalone player which needs a reset button which will simply reload the file.
i want to add a restart button to my little program, just want it to run again whenever i click the button "start_mc" after it's previous thread completed. i put the following lines in the beginning of code.
start_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startRestart); function startRestart(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(1); }
unfortunately after the program run end and i click on the button, it doesn't do anything. i wonder what can go wrong with this simple button function. I have another event listener in this program for file loading, is there conflict between them? besides this restart button the program is running ok itself.
In my game I would like it so once I have died you can click the 'Main Menu' button and it will take you back to the main menu and clear everything else which had been going on.
But at the moment as seen in the flash file attatched once you have died in the game a child form appears with two buttons on it 'Play Again' and 'Main Menu'. On clicking the 'Main Menu' button as you can see it takes you to the main menu but all the stuff from the previous frame are still there in the background.
i was wondering if i set a variable on a button (the button is on level 5)
Code: _level5.current_selection = "credits"
and i would like the movie on level 1 to recognize that this button (on level 5)has been pressed,is this script correct on an empty keyframe in level 1.
I want to make a reset/restart button using "Enter" and it worked before.. but i realised that once you press it the background has moved so you cant see the menu screen..
I am working on a project and have a print function that basically does a screen grab and prints it out. I load a number of external swfs into levels of the main swf.I want the print button to stay on the top level. Is there a way to define what level a button is on?I want to define the button on level 20. I contemplated loading it in as another external movie clip, but the script won't work if I do that.
My main movie is on level 0, of course. On level 0 I created an empty movie clip named "container". Now, I load another movie into container, and I loaded it on Level 1. Now, I want to put a code inside a Movie Clip that is on level 1, which is the new, loaded movie that will disable a red button on level1. Here's the code I used:[code]That worked to no avail as well. So, I'm wondering if the code that disables and enables buttons only work with a handler? Like an onClipEvent or on (release) handler? I'm puzzled right now, because this is really elementary but i just don't know it right now.
I have found this fine example for multilanguage choice:URL...I have changed initLanguageSelector() to this:[code]It works OK with button component but I need it to work with simple movieclip or button.
I have two layers in my FLA both with empty movie clips as follows:In mc_Empty1, I attach a faded background movieclip as I wait for mc_Empty2 to load a SWF. Once the SWF is loaded into mc_Empty2, I want to remove the faded background movieclip from mc_Empty1. When I load the SWF from the main timeline, the onLoad() function works and removes the faded background from mc_Empty1. However, when I load the SWF from mc_target, the SWF loads, but the onLoad() function does not. Here's my AS2 code:
//Loading SWF from main timeline mc_Empty1.attachMovie("mcFadedBg", "mc_FadedBg", 1); mc_Empty2.loadMovie("My.swf");mc_Empty2.onLoad = function():Void{ trace("loaded"); //This works removeMovieClip(mc_Empty1.mc_FadedBg); //This works}
[code]....
I know I'm targeting properly because the SWF loads as it should, but the onLoad() function does not.
This is making me a little kooky today. I thought I could defined a library path in PREFERENCES > ACTIONSCRIPT > ACTIONSCRIPT 3.0 SETTINGS then that library would be available to all AS3 FLA files, but that doesn't seem to work for me. If I use the PUBLISH SETTINGS and define the library path everything is fine.
Is there something that I could have done to disable the application level class path functionality? I guess I'm trying avoid having to set the library path for every new FLA I'm making.
i've got that when you click a button it takes you to the next frame/level of the game, but i want to make the next level harder, meaning you have to kill all the enemies to goto the next frame/level, so, how do i make it so you have to click ALL 3 buttons on the stage to go to the next frame? Or is there another way to do this?
i want to control sound in my movie clip by the button which i designed in flash. for ex.: my default sound is 100% on home button & when i click on contact(last button) the volume level goes to 20% same as in between buttons.i use this script to call the sound in flash
bgSound = new Sound(this); bgSound.attachSound("sound1"); bgSound.start(0,99);
now tell me what i put in buttons to manage sound level.
I'm doing a bigger aplication in flash (as2).Image, there is a main "home" flash with several menu buttons.Clicking these buttons, I load external swf into an empty container in this "home" flash.[code]clicking buttons in this second level, will load external movies into an empty container in this SECOND LEVEL swf.This works fine, but now, coming to the THIRD LEVEL (don't think there will be more in the future) problems come up, some scripts won't work.Now (I'm a as2-beginner) I think, loading external swf ALLWAYS into containers in the first "Home" flash should solve the problem.But I don't know, how to load an swf from the third level into a container in the first "home" level.In the "home" level, I have a "close" button, that will unload the container content.I need to go to a certain scene "content_2" in the home swf, too.
i have game im doing, and i want it to jump to level 2 upon completing the first level, but the problem is, the level 2 is a seperate swf, i've tried to use
I'm making game, where I must collect points. In end menu screen, i want that if my score's over 200, a next level button will be visible. Now it's visible every time when timer's out. I have tried this code if (score < 200){ this.visible == false; } else if (score >=200){ this.visible == false; }
I have a file1.swf which loads file2.swf into it. Within file2.swf i have a button that when clicked needs to remove file2.swf and load file3.swf into its place.
Draw a rectangle using the rectangle tool; select the text tool and create a text box inside of the rectangle, and type in BEGIN; make sure it fits inside the rectangle; select entire image by left clicking then dragging over it; convert to symbol button.
Then, I add in the code of going to keyframe 4 when released (which works fine). But when I test it out and mouse over the button, I can still select the text which gives me like barely any space where I can click the button to go to keyframe 4. This is reeaaallly annoying me. How can I fix this?
I am using Adobe Flash CS4. I don't know why I do the sample actionscript code here.
on (release) { gotoAndPlay(1); }
And now I'm dealing with a button function. I already created a box then press "F8" and choose button. Now I click on the button box, and press "F9" for the actionscript. It said that "Current selection cannot have actions applied to it" Then choose "ActionScript 1.0 & 2.0" Global Function > Movie Clip Control > On but "On" is disabled, how to solve this problem of mine to put this simple code.
i'm using flash cs3.i was using flash 8.i used to just put this code on a button, and worked, no problem.[code]now, i can't put code on a button... got some code on another site... seems i have to put code in an actions layer, and give the button an instance name![code]
So I am trying to get better at putting all my code within one action layer and there is a bit of button code that seems to be confusing me.
Whenever I program a button I use the following code: PHP Code: on (press){ } on (release, releaseOutside ) { }
Now I know programming the on(press) command is done like this: PHP Code: btnName.onPress = function() { }
However I am having a hard time with the on (release, releaseOutside ) code. The only way I have been able to do it is like this: PHP Code: btnName.onRelease = function() { } btnName.onReleaseOutside= function() { }
My question is, is there any way to combine the two onRelease commands?
Okay so basically I have two buttons that go to the same destination, what I want to do is if one is ROLL_OVER'd then I want the other one to go to the roll over state as well. I figured out that part, what I cant figure out is why it's not going back to the upState, the regular state, I mean it works if I do gotoAndStop with movie clips, it's just with these darn buttons.
I'd like to make a simple button that pops out (nicely animated) on mouseover to about 300% it's original size. You can se the button I want to animate here - it's those little buttons some of which are shaded. I want to make them more visible...
I am somewhat new to Flash CS4 andt am having a problem making simple buttons in Flash CS4 on a Macintosh: I have made a few buttons with a graphic and can go into them and successfully create the Up, Over and Down stages of the graphic. Then when I create a new box for the hit state (which is larger than the graphic and I have deleted the graphic itself from the hit state) it doesn't want to appear correctly when I test the movie. When I test the movie, the hit state is correct everywhere around the graphic (to the bounds of my hit state box), but is not active where the graphic is.
When I go under the Control menu, down to Enable Simple Buttons, the hit zone looks great right in my Flash file, but when I preview it or publish it and look it on different browsers (PC and Mac), I don't get my pointer right over the actual graphic, but get it everywhere around the graphic to the boundaries of my hit box. Why can't I get the actual graphic to be a hot spot in this situation? I have tried leaving the graphic in the hit timeline, and tried putting both the larger box and the graphic in the hit timeline, and still can't get them to respond correctly with the pointer in the browser window.
