Flash :: Create A Reusable Toggle Button In AS3?
Aug 16, 2010
I'm trying to make the code below reusable. I need multiple toggle buttons in my flash project. Right now the code below works on one button. If I continue and create more buttons, and follow the format below, I would need to create separate functions for each button.
I would like to put the reusable code in a separate ActionScript file and not in the FLA file. I am trying to put the rolloverToggle, rolloverToggle, and toggleClick in a class that I'm making.[code]...

I am new to this flash and I am using as2 for the action script I wanted to know how to create a toggle button so far this is all I have.
on (release) {
play ();
} on (release) {
stop ();
}
I wanted so that when you hit playit would start the animation but showing the pause button and vice versa.

I am currently finishing off a flash project that I began using FlashMX (with action script 1).It is a language teaching tool which will be viewed both online, and will be also put on CD.I would really like the swf to fill the user's entire screen.I have tried a few things with javascript in the html file that haven't worked. I would greatly appreciate any tips on how to:
1. Create a toggle button for full screen in my flash file
2. Make the swf take up the entire browser window (width="100%" height="100%" doesn't seem to work)
3. Create a standalone version for CD that fills the user's entire screen

I need to create slideshow for gallery. And one thing that i don't know is how to create reusable components. For example i want to create 3 components ImageLoader, Dock(that consist drom ImageLoaders) and SlideShow(that consists from Dock and ImageLoaders).
ImageLoader it is a container which loads image and while it loading showing some animation
Dock it is a container wich have few of ImageLoaders, it used to create Dock of thumbs images to chose.SlideShow it is a container wich have few of ImageLoaders, it used to preload images to ImageLoaders and the change them on mouse click.I need that all of this components was accessible fom action script, so i can create new instances of them.
Example code:
im1 = new ImageLoader('../im1s.jpg');
im2 = new ImageLoader('../im2s.jpg');
dock = new Dock(new Array(im1,im2));
ss = new SlideSHow(new Array(im1,im2),dock);
ss.init();

I have a series of buttons inside an array. I am trying to get the buttons so that once they are pressed, they remain in the over state. Which is a darker color than the up state. So that people know which button they have pressed. Is there an easy way to do this for buttons?

I'm trying to create a reusable button like it was possible in ActionScript 2 using the Var of a dynamic text box, hence allowing me to chose the name of the button and its link inside the HTML and pass these variables on to the swf file. This therefore means less traffic, and faster load times.
the html code would look like this:
PHP Code:
<param name="FlashVars" value="myText=HOME&myLink=http:\www.MyWebsiteHome.com"/>
How would i go about doing this with CS3?

Basically I'm using the code below to change the colour of the text in a movie clip that I'm using as a button. This works fine, but I have 8 buttons in my navigation and at the moment have to duplicate this code for each one. How to turn the colour change code into a function that I can reuse?

When button1 is clicked, the cursor changes into a 'movieclip' I want this movieclip cursor to switch back into a regular cursor when button1 is clicked again, so toggle the function on and off. My question to you is, is it likely to use some kind of boolean here to toggle the function on and off?
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,wipe);
function wipe(e:Event):void {
Mouse.hide();
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,follow);
function follow(evt:MouseEvent) {
cursor.x = mouseX;
cursor.y = mouseY;
}}

I'm trying to make a simple flash mp3 player with a play/pause toggle button called toggle_btn. The button is actually a MovieClip with two buttons inside it: play_btn and pause_btn, which live in different places on the MovieClip's timeline. That all works fine, and when I press the play/pause button for the first time, my music plays as expected.
However, when I press it again to pause, it keeps right on playing. If I push it again, the button gets all glitchy, and doesn't go into its rollover state when it should nor toggle when clicked.
Here's my ActionScript:
Code:
// load the playlist
var getFile:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest('songs.xml'));
var numSongs:int = 0; // number of songs in playlist -- we'll set this later

I'm new to flash and just need to do a simple task but I can't manage to get it to work. I'm trying to import a video (flv) into a SWF container and need to AS functions which should be exposed to JS (using liveconnect or anything else). These two function should toggle sound on/off and toggle play/pause. I dont need any user interface or a full featured player, just these two functions.

I'd like to learn how to use Components in Flash, and the documentation and tutorials I find are beyond my comprehension. I usually go to FlashKit and just rehash someone's code... but again, I'd love to learn how to use Flash Components.So I did a tutorial on the toggle button, but it was:1. Click button, and a window pops up at different location on canvas2. Click button again, and the same window dissapears.This is for a videogame, and I'd like a button to be click and that same button be populated with a new graphic. What I mean is, the graphic is a skull, and I'd like to have it start as a dark skull (as if a negative value) and when you click it the skull appears... click it again and it's gone (or that negative or dark skull representing it's off).So this differs from the tutorial I did because the pop-up window is the button itself, and the window that pops up would obstruct me from click it again.

I can't figure out how to get a button to toggle between to functions?It has to be more simple than an if()...else().. statement right?example:
myBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, what goes here?);
/* if the MOUSE_UP event is called and the chalkboard is blank, then write to the chalkboard
else erase the chalkboard */[code].......

I'm simply creating a button in flash that should alternate between a 'play' graphic (i.e. > ) and a pause graphic (i.e. || ) every time its clicked. That's all!
In shockwave I would simply type a line of code that would set a new memberNumber or memberName to swap the graphics on mouseUp. How do I do it in Flash? I called a friend and he though I had to do something like create a movieClip inside a button or vice versa. It all seems rather complicated for such a simple task.

I need to add text on screen (for hearing impaired) to a simple movie I created. I just need to have text toggle on and off. I don't know how to actionscript the mc or button. Working in F8, publishing to F6.I did see the visibility on/off rollover thread... but I'm not actionscript saavy and can't make the leap to an onpress or onrelease button, rather than a rollover.

I would like to toggle my boolean value when I click my button. My boolean var looks like this: var playAllOn:Boolean = false; Then I have a button that calls a function to set the playAllOn to the boolean value it currently is not. So, if for example if playAllOn is false, I would like to call:

I know I could do this with an ifStatement in the myToggleBtn.onRelease, but am wondering if there is a better more efficient way to write this. Something like setPlayAllBtn(!= playAllOn); <!-- Obviously that one does not work...

Code:
on (press) {
if(srchMC._visible)
[code]......
I want to put another MC in place of the srchMC, by toggling with this same button. Can I do that? Would I just change the else statement to say MC2._visible=true; Also, when test the file is there a way to have the MC's hidden when the file loads, until the button is pressed? Is that an OnLoad statement?

On the website that Im creating, I have a page of musical samples that each have their own play/stop toggle button. So far it's working alright, but there are some other things I would like it to do.1) At the moment, you can only press play once. If you stop the file then press play again, the following error comes up:
Error: Error #2037: Functions called in incorrect sequence, or earlier call was unsuccessful.
at flash.media::Sound/_load()
at flash.media::Sound/load()
at content_fla::3b_45/toggleClick1()
2) I would love it when the piece finishes, that the stop function kicks in and the toggle button goes back to the 'off' state.
3) At the moment I'm using the
import flash.media.SoundMixer;
SoundMixer.stopAll();
function to stop the track. There are multiple tracks and toggle buttons on the page,CODE (for button one only - all the other buttons have the same text, but with the number 2 after each function):
//Button 1
// Add Listeners
m1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, rolloverToggle1);
m1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, rolloutToggle1);

I have a set of 5 button that change their opacity when clicked to a lower opacity. What I need to add is the ability to "toggle" the button to go back and forth from 100% opacity to 20% or whatever and then back to 100%. I would also like to add the ability to fade the opacity instead of it changing all at once. Her is the code as I have it so far.
Code:
ClickMe.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,f);
ClickMe.buttonMode = true;

I'm having difficulty adding a Play/Pause button to an FLA animation that I've created. The animation is a frame-by-frame clip with motion tweens (rather than an FLV file). I'd like the Play/Pause button to toggle between a PLAY state and a PAUSE state depending on whether the animation is already playing or paused. (It will automatically play when the user begins viewing it, so the first button state should be at PAUSE.)
I've sucessfully created the button (actually as a movie clip with the two states). I've also got the button to pause and play the animation--but I'm unable to get the button (movie clip that is) to actually toggle between the two states. Can anyone tell me a good script to use for this type of control?

I have a button hit state called btnWorkH, below is the start of my code to make it functional. The idea being, that when someone clicks the button, I add a child to the top, to make it look like it has been clicked and is maintaining an alternate color. How would I code this so that it becomes a toggle? As, I need a click (once this action has been performed) that removes the child... just not sure how to write the condition for this.
btnWorkH.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, workClick);
function workClick (e:MouseEvent):void{
addChild (workO);
workO.x = 62.5;
workO.y = 109.3;
addChild (txtAmy);
txtAmy.x = 105.1;
txtAmy.y = 109.3;
}
