I have a flash movie, which I want to use as a header for a website. When I play the movie, I have 5 different buttons on it. When I open through Flash the .fla file it shows me that there is one button copied 5 times.How do I change the name in one of the buttons in the movie, I want when I play the movie, to have a different name on the button, but I don't understand from where do I change the name, if all the buttons I have in the .fla file has the About me name, I suggest the name is the same because all the buttons does the same effect when you go over them.
and I want to add multiple buttons, not just this one. I figured out by trial and error that I couldn't just consecutively list the instances, I also found I couldn't just replicate the code and change the instance names. I just need to know how to go about having multiple buttons/clips.
I created a button with some roll over effects added some load movie action to load external movie.swf file, everything works perfect except I need about 12 same buttons but with different loadMovie command I mean to load different swf files. so what I did to make it fast I copied the first button and pasted it 12 times so I made 12 nice buttons, but the problem I have is that when I change button 2 load movie settings it automatically changes every button, so I am a little frustrated,

Ok, so I'm trying to accomplish a seemingly simple task. I have a gallery set up for a website, where if a thumbnail is clicked, a larger version appears on a display. I can't use external swf files because it doesnt add itself to th get BytesTotal, so the loading bar wouldnt include it loading those external swfs. There is a pause before the picture actually loads (I want it preloaded).
Now I have the movie clips i want to exchange in my library, but dont know hwo to get them to become the on-screen movieclip. I have an on(release) function with _root.screen = 'mc_clip1'; is that not the right syntax? is there a better way to load mc's from the library?
This actionscript 3 stuff is giving me trouble with the easiest functions. I was able to get a movie clip to play by clicking on a button, but now I am having trouble with the close button. Basically, I just need the movie clip (box1) to go back to frame number one when the user clicks on the "X". I set up the button the same way as I did the pop-up box:
I'm new to Flash and am looking to use the following tutorial to create an advanced button. I know it is probably a very simple fix, I just cannot figure it out. [URL] In the tutorial the rollover and onrelease has the following script this.onRollOut = function(){ rewind = true;} this.onRelease = function(){getURL [URL]); } I have tried to change the on.Release command to go to and play another frame in to movie instead of opening a new url. But I'm not getting it to work correctly.

I can run the code below, where the answers are dynamic text boxes hovering over the buttons. However, the user can't click the button where the textbox overlaps it.

I am currently working on a website project that is mostly intended for Dyslexia disability users. I'm love flash but I can never get around the advance coding, therefore I have struggled to make any effective contribution to my work.

I am building a small flash application. In my application I've inserted an fla video. the flv video's length when I open it in vlc player is 16 seconds (after I edit the speed of the video in an external program and then converted it back to fla). When I open it in flash cs 5, the video's length is back to 90 seconds. I guess it's got something to do with the frame rate of my flash project. I'd like to be able to change the frame rate of only the movie clip containing that video, and not of the entire stage. How is that possible?
I have seen this on some site, so there must be a way of doing this. How do you dynamically change a flash movies dimension during runtime? For example, the forum nugget is working on I noticed that the height of the flash forum dynamically grows as the thread getslonger...because I can see my browser scroll bars appear. How can this be achieved?? his seems mind buggling to me, because you have to set a flash movies stage dimensions before publishing and the html has the flash dimesions too, so I don't get how this is being done
