I have just started messing around with flash. I am trying to make a very simple website, it has 4 buttons and 4 sets or text. you have home, about, camp and contact. when someone clicks on the text i want the corrent text to display. My code 2.0 :
[Code]...
found that code to display html format text to dynamic textfield in as3:
var url:String = "http://edeejay.dyndns.org:8000/currentsong?sid=1";
var loadit:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loadit.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
[code].....
I have a total of 5 separate buttons in my flash document. I want to have a user to be able to click the button and have it display some sort of text near the button itself. How do I get the text to stay once a button is clicked and disappear when another button is clicked? I dont want to use the hit method because the text will contain hyperlinks that I want the user to be able to click on.
View 1 RepliesI am creating a website that teaches kids about the about the brain and I am creating a website very familiar to this one, [URL]. I created one flash file and drew the background for where the text will display. Next I created several movie clips for each of the brain parts and I placed an invisible button over each of these movies, e.g., I told the button, "cerebellum_button" to play the movie "cerebellum_mc." which includs text.
I feel that my code is redundant because I am having to create an invisible button for each animated movie clip which plays a movie clips with text. Is there a way that I can centralize all of the text in the project then call it from different buttons? My aim is to have the user roll over the brain part, have it animate, and have it display the text that explains what that brain part does.
cerebellum_button.onRollOver = function(){
cerebellum_mc.gotoAndStop("turnon");
} cerebellum_button.onRollOut = function(){
cerebellum_mc.gotoAndStop("turnoff");
I'm having problems with the flash buttons on the flash website i made for a client. or some reason the buttons in the top and bottom menu work on some people's computers but on some they don't. I don't know what to do, i had this code for all the buttons,
on (release) {
getURL("http://legaldepartment.ca/","_self");
}
and they worked on my computer but on others the buttons didn't work at all so i added this code to each button also
on(press) {
_root.getURL("http://legaldepartment.ca/","self");
}
and they still work on my computer and some other people's computers but still some they don't work on some people's computers.

The MovieClip art Gallery is added to the stage just fine, but it's .as class can't even display a simple image 'elephant.jpg'.
ActionScript Code:

Attached is an FLA with an image that moves onto the stage. There are 5 button MCs which are supposed to move the image left/right. Works great, only if the SWF is published for Version 6. However, published as a version 8 swf, the buttons no longer create motion. On a different thread, somebody published it as a version 8 and 9 SWF and said the buttons worked perfectly..FYI, clicking into the , imageStrip_mc is an Actions layer, as well as the Actions on the root timeline.I am using Mac OS X Flash CS 3 - v 9.0 - using ActionScript 2
View 2 Repliesiv created a flash gallery using AS3. im having it self study so im not sure how well to manipulate the codes. what i did was place some codes on each frame where my next/previous buttons are place.. it works fine locally, but when i upload it online, it seems not to work and the whole frame runs when it should stop frame by frame.
(example code below)
stop();
btn_nstand2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onstudio3);
function onstudio3(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay("studio3");}

I have this app in Facebook:URL...The thing is, in Mac and some Windows nav (like Chrome or Firefox), the buttons in this app don't work. In this URL, you can see the correct functionality of this buttons:URL...
View 1 Replieshave a simple flash file that allows a user to click on 12 different buttons, each of which will display an image. Once the image is displayed there is a "close" button that appears which will take the user back to the main screen. The file works fine, except that once a user has opened and closed an image, they are brought back to the main screen where all of the other buttons stop working
View 2 Repliesbuilding a website but to run a control interface for av... the companies component is in AS2.. Have CS4 Flash - built buttons (and cool ones they are) in a AS2 environment. I cannot control sections of the timeline and I now know I will not be able send control to my devices as the buttons require different code (I think) Tried standard library buttons and no problem.. I believe I would need eventlisteners etc.. tried for the last 2 days to make it work.. I don't drink so my last resort.
I want to click on the buttons (separate layer) and go to a section on my timeline.
I have a movie clip with 15 frames. Each frame has buttons on it (mc's)... I was going to put the actions on the main timeline/stage and navigate within the MC from the main timeline. Is that possible? I can get the buttons on the first frame of the MC to work, but I can't seem to figure out how to target/make the buttons on the other frames work? I was thinking I could identify the path of the MC with the frame labels, but that doesn't seem to work. like: _root.RMChanger.(frame label).buttonOnFrame = function
I have to move a text box in and out over the MC backgrounds on the main stage... which is why I was thinking to do it this way? I've been switching back and forth bwtween AS2.0 and 3.0
I am having trouble with a job I am doing at the moment which has an mc with buttons within it. I want it so that when I roll over the mc it tweens from a small version to a larger version, and on this mc there are some buttons. At the moment I can get the mc to move but the buttons remain inactive and also the rollover states on the buttons don't work. I have attached a simpler version of what I am trying to do to this post.
View 3 RepliesI am using Flash CS5. In flash the program has a set of buttons already in a folder within the program so you can use them for your website and projects. For those that know the buttons most of them have a text that says "enter". What I have done is dragged the button to my stage and double clicked on it so I can edit it. From there I change the text from enter to something else like say "home". My problem is that when I click duplicate or make a copy of that button and go to change the text it changes the text for my first button too.
So I have my first button that says "home". My second one is going to say "pictures" but when I change the text of my second button to pictures it automatically changes the text of my first button from home to pictures. It seems that the only way I can get my buttons to work is if each button has the same exact text and if I change the text to one button it changes the text to all my buttons and makes it all the same text. How can I fix this so each button has a different text? I have a layer on my main timeline that is called buttons and all my buttons are on there. I am using these buttons for my flash website project but instead of creating them myself I used the ones flash had because I found them a bit more stylish for my taste.
was able to make it scroll with the location of the mouse but with the buttons working now. Each img has a rollover and i can't seem to get into it i just wonder if its the coding

I just finished my first website using AS3. I am using buttons to access to the different section of the site.
There are working perfectly in Firefox but not in IE and Opera.
Here is the website address: [URL] (the site is in French, but you can understand where to click)
I know this is similar to an already asked question, but I would love to get some more detailed help on how the outcome was achieved. I have a website with SWF animations of automotive systems. Each animation has labels naming the parts, action buttons to show failures, and links to other animations. The text for each label is dynamic, with the label being pulled from an XML file. We allow the user the option of changing the language, and currently have successfully used English/French/Spanish (all left to right) and Hebrew (right to left).
We are trying to add Traditional Chinese for a user in Taiwan, and are having difficulty getting the characters to display. We can make it work if we embed the font file into the SWF, but the file size increases to a point that it is not practical to do. I want to use the "Device Font" option, so that we can enter the Chinese text into our XML file, and then the SWF will use the font file from the end users computer to display the characters, but if I change the text property to "Device Font" it makes all the label text in the boxes disappear, no matter what language I select. If I leave the box set to "Anti-alias", the other languages display correctly.
The XML file contains this for the Chinese language label:
and this for the English Language label: The encoding of the XML file is UTF-8.
Is there something I am forgetting to do?

I have been building a website in dreamweaver, but have flash buttons which work fine. But the banner I have made in the page just has a white background. When I export it in flash it works, and when I preview in the dreamweaver browser it still works. I do not know what I have done wrong. Is the coding in the server wrong for the flash?

View 8 RepliesI am trying to get the flash buttons for my website to work, but every time I do the getURL thing it keeps saying 'Cannot find(directory)'. The website is offline and I'm using Macromedia Flash MX 2004, I also might be able to use Flash 8 but these are the only two versions I have access to.The action script for the button is:
on(release){getURL("..********(Website directory)(sub directory)(Website page).html")}
I am making the website in Dreamweaver 8 and this is really holding me back as it's nearly finished but the buttons still don't work.
I am trying to make an index page with buttons for a photography site.the entire page is built in flash so far. I have created a drop down menu that is a Movieclip with 5 buttons.I can not seem to assign an external web page to each buttons that are under the movie clip drop down menu. Is this a possible? The Movie clip is run by mouse-over the word "studio Gallery" button. This drops down the 5 gallerbuttons (Portrait, children, wedding, Artistic Babies, etc...). In Flash 8 Pro I know I can assign an external web page named children on the main page but how do I assign these to the buttons in the drop down once the movieclip is made. Is this where I need to use folders with extra layers in the folder to make it work?
View 6 Replieswhy the buttons in the flash banner I created in Flash CS4 work when I preview it in either Flash or HTML in the Flash CS4 program, but when I go to load it into a html document in Dreamweaver CS4 and preview it in a firefox or IE browser, the banner comes up fine, but the buttons this time will not work. The buttons are displayed with there animation and sound, but the links will not work. I have tried scripts in AS2 and AS3.
View 3 RepliesI'm playing around with a messaging type of application. Does anyone know how, or of any tutorials on to "appending" html text to text areas in flex and flex mobile projects? And specifically how I could take that and basically "append" a sprite inline to the text when i need to? Something simple like:Username: some text right here!So, Anyone have any experience "appending" sprites or simple text formatting?how to solve these issues!EDIT:Based on an answer below it was sugguested that it's as simple as...textAreaInstance.htmlText += "<b>Username:</b> some text right here!";But its not. you can't do .htmltext with a text area. you can on a text field, so i tried
var TF:TextField = new TextField();
TF.width = 200;
TF.height = 200;

View 2 RepliesI've read through several threads about this error, but haven't been able to apply it to figure out my situation... My flash file is an approx 5 second animation. Then, the last keyframe of each layer (frame #133) has a button in it. My flash file should stop on this last key frame, and you should be able to click on any of the 6 buttons to navigate to another html page in my website.
