There are 2 buttons to animate the movieclip on moving right or left and making it appearing and disappearing. However, the button react after a few second the animation finish. Does anyone know how to make the button work faster? this is the script for those buttons
one of the button
on (press) {
if (tt == false) {
import mx.transitions.Tween;
[code]....
I'm working with an ActionScript Classes file for some MovieClip buttons to animate In and Out. Everything is working the way it should but I would like the button to stay indicated once clicked on and then animate out once a new button is selected. The way I set it up in the past isn't very efficient and the next project I'm working on is going to be a lot of buttons. Trying to learn something more efficient.
Here is the AS class code:
class ButtonClass extends MovieClip {
public function ButtonClass() {
this.onRollOver = this.Over;
this.onRollOut = this.Out;
} private function Over() {
this.gotoAndPlay("Over");
} private function Out() {
this.gotoAndPlay("Out");
}}
And then for the MC button in the FLA:
b1.btnMC.btnText.text = "PORTFOLIO";
b2.btnMC.btnText.text = "CONTACT";
I'm making a website and I want to know how to animate my buttons.this is an example of what I'd like my buttons to do. [URL]the buttons on the website above look abit advanced. when you click on the button, the patel of the flower sort of fall and then it grows back by it self.how did this person achieve this on her buttons?
View 1 RepliesI would like to have a button animate on roll out, so if it fades to a color on mouse over it fades back on roll out. I understand you cant achieve this by putting action script on the button (well maybe you can) but is best achieved by placing action script on the frame and giving the button names etc.
View 1 RepliesI have a small mask that I need to animate across the stage in response to clicking various buttons. It has to go a different distance each time depending on which button is clicked along the x axis. I can get at the starting and ending x co-ordinates. need to develop a set of x cordinates so that the mask starts moving fast and slows down as it gets nearer - kind of like the easing effect. I figured using some sort of simple 1/x^2 expression and have spent an hour or so fiddling in excel. Trouble is its a LONG TIME since I did maths, and I can't remember what formula to use. Have tried google with "parabola", "simple curves" etc etc
View 3 Repliesi am using MCloader to load my swf in my main swf and i keep running in the same issue around the site.using all the same button script and style in labels.... sometimes they work like they should and sometimes they just don't got to the over or out state?!
here's an exemple::
Code:
//---------------Buttons intro---------------\
btnintromc.onRollOver = function () {
btnintromc.gotoAndPlay("over");
[code]....
the "btnintromc" when clicked load the right swf in the mcloader on the main swf (so the onRelease work fine)but the animation just don't work, that's really bugging me because it's the same button and same script as in the main swf but for some reason it just wont work?
I am trying to get my flash animation to do something when it detects a change in a variable (number) that is communicated to it from JavaScript. All I need to do is
if (variable changes){
do some stuff

I have a SCENE with 4 MOVIECLIPS near the bottom of the scene that when moused over I want them to scroll/animate upwards to reveal the full view of the movieclip which has a message on it. Very similar to www.sunchips.com. Please look at this and you'll know exactly what I'm trying to do.
In the main timeline I have the 4 movieclip properties set as BUTTON with instance names on each mc. The attached code is for the first button/mc. I want the mc to scroll up when you mouse over it then scroll down when you mouse out.
Here is the AS code that is on the last frame of the SCENE where it stops the intro animation.
I get this error message when I test the movie: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method gotoAndPlay through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton.
Ive been messing around with Tweenlite recently and love it. However there seems to be an issue how you can set which movieclip you are animating, for example to animate a movieclip from one position to another you would simply have: TweenLite.to(mc1, 1, {_x:220, _y:220}); However Im simply trying to replace the movieClip with a variable which changes like this: TweenLite.to("mc"+i, 1, {_x:220, _y:220}); Where 'i' is incrementing as normal. This in effect should produce mc1, mc2, mc3........and so on but it doesnt??? Anyone have anything they could share with me into why this wont work?

CS5.5: Does animated movieclip still animate when visible=false?I'm trying to save as much processor resources as possible to reduce lag of an iphone/computer app.
View 4 Repliessupposing there is a movieclip in stage.. let's say its a circle with an instance name of "theCircle"..
the circle has to move / go to / animate to a random location on stage every 5 seconds... basically, the circle should move to the random location, stop and wait for 5 seconds, then move again to another random location.. again and again...
the code below is untested and incomplete.. but it is what i am trying to do.
Code:
var randomXPosition:int;
var randomYPosition:int;
var positionTimer:Timer;
[Code]....
on the moveCircle function, i can simply set the X and Y of the circle equal to randomXPosition and randomYPosition... but that would just change the location of the circle, not move it.. i am trying to make the circle animate towards that location at a constant speed..
I have 170 images that I need to place on the same place on the left side of the stage and and have them move across the stage one at a time, increase in size and then fade out after 10 sec. The sequence then continues for all 169 images. My initial thoughts are to animate the first image inside a movie clip, duplicate it and swap the image. When I tried this it worked fine until the image had shape tweened to the larger size (at this point the image displays for 10 sec and fades out). At the key frame at this point the image changed back to the original one. What do I need to do to make the new image visible throughout the whole movie clip when I swap the image like this? Is there a better way to produce this type of animation? I am using Flash Professional 8 and quite new to the world of Flash and Action Script.
View 14 RepliesI have a movieclip created in the IDE exported to Actionscript via the Library panel (Linkage?).I instatiate multiple instances of it via a loop on the timeline.I want to move them around randomly via Actionscript. How do I do that?I tried using listeners, but I have no way to store values to make each movement unique.

The title pretty much sums up what I am trying to do: I haven't started digging into using script in Flash yet, still being very much a beginner.
I created a simple file using movie clips nested in buttons so that when I mouseover a letter, it bobs up and down, but I can't work out how to make it return to its original "up" state *smoothly* when the mouse is moved away. If it must involve script please be aware I am a total noob!
I'm attaching the file so that you guys can see that? pretty basic. My main problem is to find out how can the mouse check the mouse position on stage and make the coverflow animate and the movieclip change angle depending on the side, I have to animate only 5 itens, here?s the AS:

I'm creating a menu bar that is a movieclip and inside the movieclip consists of the buttons.Now the menu bar is twice as WIDE as what is visible on the stage.The only part you can see is the text 'menu' on a bar.Then when the mouse hits the bar, it flies across the screen to the otherside of the bar where the menu buttons are.Now the menu bar does its animation over 20 frames - the last frame being the frame where the menu buttons are now visible.
On the last frame i have the 'stop;' code
On the first frame I have this code:
Code:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){

How could one set up a movie clip that has usable buttons in it? If i understand correctly, the movieclips actions will override all the button actions...?
For the purposes of my project, I need a MC that ive set up to loop across the screen with my buttons on it.
I've created a movieclip of a trashcan, which falls over and 6 items fall out of it. I want each of these items to become a button, which will jump to a different point on the timeline.
The movieclip is all working fine, and the buttons appear to be fine. The problem is when I publish the flash, the movieclip resets each time I hover over one of the buttons, so i get an endless loop of this trashcan falling over and the items falling out.
scene 1 has a movieclip in the top left on the stage (called poster_mc) ... the image on the screen is of a museum enterance. double click on the movieclip to go into the movieclip; the first frame has the museum enterance and the second frame has a gallery.I created a button called door_mc which when clicked, allows the user to go 'inside' the museum into the gallery. this is the code i used:
poster_mc.stop();
poster_mc.door_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOU SE_UP, nextPicture);
function nextPicture(e:MouseEvent):void

I'm putting together a site, that has 3 pages and I'd like the content to move into position when the menu button is clicked. So, 3 buttons etc, 'Home, Portfolio, contact" and one movie clip that contains the info. I'm not really a programmer [URL].
View 1 RepliesI have a movie clip with hit zones over buttons. It looks like a cam corder and when you roll over them a thumb moves to that button and when you click. The thumb presses on the button. That all works great. I want to put buttons in the main scene over top of these that will change things on the screen when you click it. And get urls of the videos that I have on my website. But when I put the hitzones over other hitzones the ones in back dont work. Is there a way to make them both work or am I going to have to make everything contained in the movie clip? So in short can I have two buttons on top of each other that do two different things?

I am basically trying to create a menu which can be dragged across the stage. I have created a main movieclip which acts as the holder. This is the movieclip that gets dragged around.Within that movieclip there are 6 buttons. I am using the MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN and MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP eventlisteners to control the dragging however it is not working correctly.When i compile to SWF it is fine. I click down the mouse button on the movieclip and It will start dragging however if i let go of the button it registers a click. Obviously i don't want it to do that but i'm not sure why it is registering a click as i thought that i was just releasing the button...
The second problem is if i move the mouse cursor off of the movieclip but i still have the mouse button pressed it will continue dragging the movieclip about, even if i then let go of the button.... The elements i have are:main holder movie clip whose dimension is 1800x280 and it is called : container_mcwithin this movie clip i have 6 buttons whose dimensions are each 300x270 and the names of the buttons are:
linkbtn1
linkbtn2
linkbtn3

My problem is that I created my buttons on the stage and then grouped them together as a movieclip called navSat.Then I set the Linkage for navSat to NavSat.I am doing all my coding through AS3 outside of this. This is my code:

function loadNavSat():void {
var newNavSat:MovieClip = new NavSat();

When I run the swf now, my navigation system comes in and all the buttons are working (up, down, over, off states are working) It still links to nothing yet. The problem is when I try to add functionality to those buttons. I have tried about 5 days worth of variations around this type of code but cannot 'communicate' with the buttons within the movieclip. This is my code for the 1st button - contactBtn (linkage: ContactBtn):

contactBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, contactDown);
function contactDown(event:MouseEvent):void
