ActionScript 2.0 :: Incorporate A Stop Action, After A GotoandPlay Action On My Button?

May 8, 2009

I have a slideshow that is looped ... it contains 5 slides.I am using a gotoandPlay action to control the slide show.

on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
}

There is a fade transition between slides.When a button is released ... I want to gotoandPlay (frame 98) ... and then have it stop 10 frames later on (frame 108). Frame 98 includes the transition ... if I just gotoandStop on frame 108 ... I loose the transition.Is there any way to incorporate a stop action, after a gotoandPlay action on my button ... without naming instances etc.I.E.

on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
STOP ON FRAME 108 INTEGRATED HERE
}

Everything I have attempted is not working.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Apply Action To Button?

Apr 7, 2009

how can I apply an action to a button. I am using the Flash CS3 and I know that I can only apply actions to instances but I still can't make it work. It's a very simple file, I have 2 frames and I want a button on the first frame (with the instance name "hdg") that on release goes to frame 2 and stop.

I can't make it work:

my_btn.onRelease = function () {
trace ("onRelease called");
};

I also want the movie to stop on the first frame, so that it does go straight to frame 2 but with the action of the instance there's an error.

Unable To Apply An Action To Button?

May 7, 2009

I want to apply an action to my button so that it plays a mc on frame 2 of the mc, but in the actions palette in the window to add an action it says: Current selection cannot have actions applied to it. This thing is definitely a button but I will say that I have a mc and text box in each of the 4 frames of the button. But why should that cause an issue? With the button on the stage, I can view the up/over/down states by going: control --> enable simple buttons, so it is acting as a button.

Attributing An Action To A Button On The Keyboard

Jan 4, 2010

I must not be looking in the right area as it seems there is no way to search one particular Adobe product at a time, only "Search Forums" which means I get a bunch of useless results to "keyboard navigation" and "keyboard shortcuts" and the above subject. I am a novice user with a novice question for which there doesn't appear to exist any readily available information for which means I don't expect anyone will answer this question but I'll go ahead with it anyway in the hopes that maybe someone will read this w/in the next few months. 
 
Here is what I'm wanting to do:
 
First I want to establish a list of frames on the timeline I would like the user to be able to jump to at the press of a keyboard button say the down arrow. Say this list consists of the following frame numbers, 1, 5, 10, 15, 20. I would like that if they are watching the movie on frame 12, upon pressing the down arrow it will jump to frame 15 and if they are on frame 22 upon pressing the down arrow it will jump to frame 1 etc.. I do not however want it to direct them to frame 1 if they are on frame 12 and press the down arrow for the first time.
 
This seems like a severely easy question (at least the part about keyboard navigation) for which I would expect they would have it in the Adobe classroom in a book or some official tip or direction about how to do this w/out possibly having to spend 15,000 years learning a coding language to do one goddam thing!

ActionScript 3.0 :: Delay Action Of Button To URL?

Dec 20, 2010

Created button that activates short animation AND ALSO connects to URL.
 
I want viewer to see full animation (26 frames that lasts about 1.5 seconds - 18 frames per second). Instead the button connects almost instantaneously to URL and viewer does not see animation.
 
Animation automatically plays (full loop - 26 frames) when viewer first opens swf/html. The same animation plays again when viewer clicks button to go to URL.
 
Is there some code in AS3 that can delay the connection to the URL until the 26th frame of the animation.I am beginner/intermediate to Flash and extreme novice to Action Script (get most of my AS coding from searches online). Need to be led by my hand in Action Script.[code]...

ActionScript 2.0 :: XML Based Button Action?

Jun 16, 2005

i using an XML driven gallery(Scotty*) and what i would like to do is add a button thats actions update with each picture to open a specific external link either another web page or just a larger version of an image. i have done my best to sift my way thru the epic tut on XML here on Kirupa but i just cant seem to nail down what i need to add or where to add it to make this happen.my supsicions are that it needs to be updated on the load image function some how as i also want the text for the button to be specific for each item ( " launch project " , " open lg image " ,etc. )and as far as the button action itself could there just be a simple function that could be made that would dynamically seek out the XML for the current item's URL?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Cancel A Button's OnPress Action?

Feb 25, 2009

I wondering if there is a way to cancel a button's onPress action.For example on my button I have the following:

Code:

on (press) {
startDrag(this, false, 384, 2.5, 384, 70.5);
}

[code]....

However if you press the button and roll out with your mouse button still held down it will continue to drag even after you release the mouse button. It then won't stop dragging until you roll over and then out of the button.

To correct this I was wondering if there is a way to call the on(Press) action and stop it OR to activate the on(release) or on(rollOut) actions OR a way to activate "stopDrag();" when the user rolls out even if they are still holding the mouse button down.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Text Blocking Button Action?

Apr 8, 2009

I have a series of buttons and a text field that follows the cursor, showing you the name of the button you roll over. How do I get the text field to stop interfering with the buttons? You don't get the pointing finger or get a click registered since you're clicking on the text, not the button.
 
I tried setting the mouseChildren of the text to false, which did nothing. And since it's not part of any button, there's no point in setting the property for each button.
 
My only option is to have hidden copies of the button floating over the text, but there ought to be a way to have the click pass thru the text and reach the button, yes?
 
P.S. FWIW, the buttons are actually movie clips with buttonmode = true and useHandCursor = true.

Professional :: Mouse Proximity Action On Button?

Feb 5, 2010

I am trying to help my colleague figure out how to make a button act like the Mac buttons do.  In other words, when your mouse gets closer to a button, they will steadily grow larger.  He found a piece of code, so i put it in my FLA file, closed my eyes, then peeked and hoped it worked.  It didn't.
 
I have attached the FLA to this message.  If you remove the top portion of the code [the portion between the // lines], you will see the file works fine as the buttons will advance frames.  But when i put the top piece of code back [the piece my colleague gave me] i get error messages.bottom line is - what we're trying to do is make those triangle buttons "grow" as the mouse moves closer to them [like Mac buttons do].
