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?
This used to be so easy to do back in the day, but not any more. I'm trying to create a reeaaally simple button in Flash CS3 that on release goes to and plays the next frame.[code]All the button does is starts an mp3 that's embedded in the file. I've made tons of these in the past, but now with CS3 I'm finding this task very difficult. The code is in the button instance, but I'm getting the following error when I publish.
I have made a flash site that contains a lot of buttons that loads imported swfs. Now, I want to create a simple back button by using variables.
An example: The visitor clicks on the contact button which loads the contact.swf Then, the visitor clicks on the About us button which loads the aboutus.swf. Now, the visitor wants to go back to to the contact page and hit the back button inside the About us page.
The code for loading the pages looks like this:
on (release) { _root.section = "nameofthepage.swf"; _root.transition.gotoAndPlay("closing"); }
Now I want this to happen: When the visitor clicks on the contact button a variable is saved named "contact" and then inserts "contact" in the code of the back button. Something like this:
on (release) { _root.section = "insert the name of the current variable name.swf"; _root.transition.gotoAndPlay("closing"); }
I am having serious problems with creating a simple navigate to URL in Flash CS3. The code I have is:

I have put this in the first timeline in my movie. When I "check syntax" everything seems great. But when I publish as AS3 I recieve the following error:
I'm sort of new to Flash, have been using it for ages but just to animate, i haven't done any programming or interactive stuff for years, so i feel new to it again!Creating a very simple platform.Movie clip of the character (instance name z_1)- runs button - when pressed makes z_1 invisible and loads another movieclip of him firing a weapon (z_fire). (also makes ground stop moving- basically game is a static running animation, over a moving ground, if that makes sense)This all works fine, i even figured how to make the score increase!After the firing animation is finished (there is a stop on the movieclip) i want the original running animation to be visible again and for the ground etc to play again. The firing animation is only 12 frames long so i imagine i need to tell the button to resume normal service on the stage after that time period![code]It's probably completely wrong but it works, i just need to know the extra code to make the original animations start back again after z_fire has played.
Was just wondering that tool do i need (an open source tool) to create a very simple table with a blinking light on an image and turn that into an .exe?
I've been trying to create a simple text animation using XML and AS3 that I would like to run similar to the swf I've attached with this post. I've tried to look for tutorials similar to this that I can follow but I haven't found anything yet.I can get the xml to load up but I haven't been able to get the name to animate separately. The xml is structured like so.[code]
basically i have a mc that i want to use as a button.
frame 1 is the initial state with a stop() action on it. frame 10 is the full rolled over state, also with a stop() action on it, and frame 20 matches frame 1.
so basically i want the button to animate frame 1-10 if they rollover, and animate frame 11-20 when they roll off. i would also like it to detect the current frame, so like if the user rolls off and rolls back on at frame 15, it will play backwards to the mouseover state (frame 10).
I'm doing a simple commercial animation for school and it is about raising gas prices.I wanted to animate numbers rising but can't find ANYTHING close to what i need
The documentation for FMIS is in my mind poor. All I want is to display a videostream from my server in an swf. I've manage to display the file using http or local but rtmp seems to be another ballgame. The file play using rtmp using jwplayer. So far I have this code:
I am trying to index a series of movie clips with their own unique index number for accessing through AS3. The example below is what I would like to achieve, when a user clicks on Topic1, I can trace back the index of 1, when a user clicks on Topic2, I can trace back an index of 6:
I'm just moving from programming in Flash to Flex.
I want to create a simple gallery which is loaded with locally stored FLV short clips. I know how to create a text/image gallery, but I wasn't able to put the VideoDisplay component in the List control.
The final result should be a gallery with videos playing while the cursor is on top of them.
The website has 5 main-menu items called : Home / Speellijst / Van toen tot nu / media / contact / . a preview of the project can be visited here : [URL]
So when someone clicks "Van toen tot nu" (= an item about her past theatre plays), it displays a new menu that holds chronological buttons. Once someone cliks one of those, an extra element should show that displays info.
So in the element holding all the buttons on frame one AS says:
robbieknop.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,robtx t); function robtxt(event:MouseEvent):void { root.toenclip.gotoAndPlay(2); }
EXTA INFO: * the 1st button has the instance name : 'robbieknop'
* a clip that holds the info on each frame seperatly has the name : 'toenclip'
* 'toenclip' has an empty 1st frame, the 2nd holds the info that should display while pushing the instance 'robbieknop'
* 'toenclip' is present on stage when 'van Toen tot nu' has been loaded, it is invisible (empty frame)
So far I can't get it to work, I don't get any error messages and everything else displays 'according to plan'
I'm trying to create a simple fading RSS reader. I'm using PHP to create an XML document. Then I'm calling the XML into Flash using the following code.
ActionScript Code: function postXML (loaded){ if (loaded){ postNode = this.firstChild; newsID = []; newsHeadline = []; [Code] .....
I display this information in a movieclip that has several dynamic textfields. My problem is this. PHP calls the information in descending order. I want the most recent post to display first, that's why I do it that way. How can I reverse cycle through the nodes. There will be five. I'd like to use the id attribute as the reference to cycle through the nodes. I'd also like there to be a 15 second delay for each slide. I guess I'm basically creating a text slideshow. 15 seconds with an option to pause.
a code for creating a simple link between files on my computer using flash cs4? Im trying to link sperate swf files within the folder. Im trying to make a cd and i have 5 sperate swf files that need to link to each other and back to the home page which is also a seperate swf file.
I'm working on this flash game right now and I need to implement a simple players database...
It needs to be both read and writable . Meaning, when the player register to save his character information , he needs to key in his email and a password and create an account. The account shall store that player's life amount, ammunition etc . All the infos are stored on an external file and retrieved again when the player logins to the game with the email as his login ID. Security issues are not the biggest concern here because its not exactly meant to be an online game and I don't think hacking would be something I need to worry about ^^'''
I've tried Xml with AS, but I realised that, that alone canot allow me to write the player's info into the xml file.
I'm not exactly an mySQL idiot...but I really have very(x2) rusty and limited knowledge of it. All the server topics confuses me and I've had no experience with Microsoft Access.
creating a simple scrollbar that scrolls dynamic text. What I am looking to do now is be able to scroll a movie clip with text and an image in it. How do I do that?
I have created a small application with three different slides.

I want to create a simple component in as3, cs4. There are 2 problems I cant solve:
1.)I can't get the default parameters "loaded" in the class for the component so lets say if I have w = 10 in the parameters how can I refer to it in the code?
2.) How can I get the tool with which I can set which corner of the component should stay the same : it looks like this in the default

i have to generate a button dynamically... and have to keep a click handler for the same how to write script for clicking buttonim using following code for creating button dynamically
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...
