I am using the Flex SDK within visual studio and trying to dynamically add a button to the stage.[code]...
Nothing seems to show up and the screen is still empty. I am importing mx.controls.* for the button. Could that create an issue since I am not using mxml only as3?
Just wondering How I would place the Flex button component on the stage with actionscript and make it execute a function when pressed...this is easy in MXML:
PHP Code:
<mx:Button label="Button" click="function();"/>
but I need to do it with actionscript..
I have event listeners for a MouseEvent.CLICK and so when thelistener triggers the function I want it to change the "box" symbolon the stage to the corresponding symbol in the library for the
View 1 RepliesI've embedded a MovieClip symbol with the [Embed] syntax into my AS3 project, which I'm compiling with the Flex 3 SDK. That MovieClip has instances of other clips within it that are placed on stage with instance names. I can't just access them by instance name like I would if I were compiling with the Flash IDE. How can I reference them?
View 1 RepliesI have 2buttons. Each have 3stages: up, over, down.I want to have 1st button to stay on its 'down state' when pressed and then you should see 2nd button 'up' stage(down stage of 1st button is the same as up stage in 2nd button).If someone hovered again you see 'over' stage of 2nd button,when will click, button move to 'up' stage of 1st button.

View 3 Repliesi have a button on the stage (added manually) and its an instance of BtnStart called starter. but for some reason i cannot access this in the document class i.e. in the constructor (mainly because its not registered at that point). how can i use a stage button in the document class constructor?

I cannot get a button within an MC on my stage to respond. The MC is 'togglemenu" and the button is 'next_btn'. What am I doing wrong? This is the code:
[Code]....
Each "date" aka button when clicked advances to its respective named frame. It works fine until I have a section of the timeline with more than one "entry". I use the same naming process as i did for the main sections using a "next >" button and coding it the same way I coded the main buttons but it doesn't work. I get:Type Error: Error #1009. Cannot access a property or method fo a null object reference atTimeline_Sce3_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()I've dragged an instance of the bttn_next onto the stage, given it an instance name, inserted a keyframe into the layer and named the layer to advance to. I know there's something wrong with this button - could this be a flow or inheritance problem? i've commented out the line that throws the error (starts with //btn1974b...). the code reads:
stop();
b1971.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickSecti on);
b1973.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickSecti on);

I have a button on my stage its a movie clip I also have a symbol in my library that is also a movie clip with a small animation inside it. It is not the button.
I am trying to use the button to bring the symbol out of the library onto the stage then when I click the button again it will remove the symbol from the stage.
I am creating an AIR nativeWindow. I am adding two children, an HTMLLoader and a Sprite. The child Sprite has two children, a TextField and a Sprite that will be used to draw. I have set stage.scaleMode = "noScale" and stage.align = "TL", which the HTMLLoader seems to respect. However, the child Sprite scales its children whenever I set a height.
public function BaseWindow(){
var winInit:NativeWindowInitOptions = new NativeWindowInitOptions();
winInit.type = NativeWindowType.NORMAL;[code]..........
How do I prevent the distractor Sprite from scaling its children?
I have a very simple .fla. One frame, one button on the main stage. I have named the button and when I right click>actions, it says I can't put actions in this area. So then I put the Actions on the main timeline/keyframe. The code below works, but I can't get code to work in the button that I placed on the main stage. This button is dynamically placed by the first two lines of code.
Code:
var MyButton:ButtonOne = new ButtonOne();
MyButton.x = 100;
MyButton.y = 300;
addChild(MyButton);
MyButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,startMC);
function startMC(event:MouseEvent){
myMovieClip.gotoAndPlay(11);
}
If I try to just have the code that looks something like this..
Code:
ButtonOne.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startMC);
//movie clip function startMC sits here..
I get an error saying the symbol doesn't exist.
I have a little quirk that I cannot think of why or how to solve. swf1 - I have buttons on stage and in the first frame actions;
med.med_btn.onRollOver = function() { TweenLite.to(med.med_btn, 1, {_x:10, ease:Elastic.easeOut}); TweenLite.to(content_mc.contMed, 1, {_alpha:100});}med.med_btn.onRollOut = function() { TweenLite.to(med.med_btn, 1, {_x:0, ease:Elastic.easeOut}); TweenLite.to(content_mc.contMed, 1, {_alpha:0});}med.med_btn.onRelease = function() { //loadMovie("webPoet.swf", "blank");}
All works fine. This is loaded inside another swf(swf2). Then the parent swf(swf2) calls for the play to go to the next frame of this movie(swf1), where each button(inside its own MC) has onClipEvent(onEnterFrame) action to drop them off the screen. Everything works perfectly except the last button you have rolled over, creates a double and stays there!!! It happens on only the last one you have touched with the mouse. If you dont touch any they all drop off as required.
What do I have to do to get the button to work? I view the swf and there is no active button.
I need the button inside the clip to be active.
I have a set of 9 buttons, all have the 4 rollover stages, i.e up, over, down and hit. I want the hit stage to remain in bold color, till the user selects another button. How do I code this?
View 3 RepliesI have the following code

Fine up to here. I need to remove the loader when another button is clicked because the loader remains on stage.

My test Movie with button on stage: [URL]
I have a button on stage in a movie, the button ("clicker") is empty apart from the "hit" frame. The stage and button are 300x300 and i'm using swfobject to display the flash movie at 400x600 pixels. I have the following actionscript.[code]I want teh button to expand to fill the available stage space (which is 400x600 in this example) so i use the following...
-clicker._width = Stage.width;
-clicker._height = Stage.height;
however this causes the button to disapear from the stage, possibly down to 0x0 in size, as opposed to filling the available stage space. It's been a while since i worked with actionscript so it's probably something obvious, however i can't seem to spot what the problem is.
I have a Document Class called Main.as. I tested that it works using a simple trace statement and that outputs fine.

I tried all different ways to add the Button to the stage but couldn't figure it out.[code]...
