My document class is Main.as (it extends MovieClip). The following code is in my Main.as.I've declared all these variables in my class definition:
private var holder:MovieClip;
private var leftButton:SimpleButton;
private var rightButton:SimpleButton;
[code]....
i wrote this code:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
[code]....
and it works, once clicked, it does what it has to do. Ofcourse, me trying to break it, i found that if i click the buttons fast, it will re-import the external swfs causing me to have multiple instances of the external swf.so in short, if i click like normal(slow ) ie like a person that clicked to view a section etc, then its fine, if i click fast or repeated clicking ie like a person that double clicks etc, then the problem occurs.
I have a very complicated interface going on in my flash application, with tons of dependencies/variable checking/etc and it would make my life one heck of a lot easier if it was possible to simply "press" or activate an onscreen button via actionscript. I have never seen this referenced, and don't know if it's possible. Search didn't find me anything. Can you do this in some way? "Virtually" activate a button (and thereby all the button's scripting...)

I have 4 navigation button and like home, about us etc.... And i want to disable home when it is click and cannot clicked it until the user click another button first. means if a visitor is at home page then home navigation is disabled, and all other are active, and when they click at aboutus button then the pages goes to the about us page and the about us button is disabled and other get active. I want this solution in AS3 with oop concept.
View 6 RepliesI've got about 6 buttons laid out, one on top of the other in a list format. In their normal state the buttons are grey in colour, when I rollover them, the buttons flash and turn to orange. Now, what I need to happen is this: I want the buttons to stay orange once clicked and only roll out back to grey when the user has clicked on another button in the list. I've been told that the best way to do this is via adding a listener, however I am a little unsure as to how to go about this. I've checked the flash help file and have a basic understanding of how listeners work...but can't really wrap my head around applying it to this situation. Perhaps I will need to have all the buttons as separate broadcasters?

doing a Flash onscreen keyboard. but what if I have more than 1 inputbox field, what should I do?
I have them for my arrows to move my MovieClip. It works, but the thing is that my MovieClip is viewed from the side not the top view (and I want to keep it this way). So when I press the left arrow key the movieClip moves but it's facing the same direction all the time. So I tried rotation code but it works for the top view. Then I thought about flipping the miveClip through the y-axis (so that the front will be facing the way it is going), when the left key is pressed.

I have a menu with five nav buttons (atcually MovieClips). Each has three frame labels: "on", "stay", and "off". The rollover and rollout animations play flawlessly, but I'm at a loss as to how to give each button a sticky "active" state. I'd like the button to stay in it's active state until another button is clicked, then I would like it to play it's "off" animation. Each MC has this code:

I used the tutorial here: [URL] to achieve the above, which I did. Then I tried putting AS on the buttons I made to import external clips and they stopped working completely. I've tried putting the AS on the main time line as well as on the btn itself, I've even tried recoding the script from the tutorial. I've attached the file which should work to me. if the btn code is deleted from the main timeline the menu acts as it should but doesn't link any where.

View 1 RepliesI have made an entire website in AS2. Now suddenly the Client has decided that he wants to highlight multiple buttons, when the viewer rolls over any one of the buttons in a group. The buttons are all nested within a movieclip, which is within a separate .swf. This swf is loaded into a movieclip in the main file. I entered some code to under on(rollOver){} of the button but it never fired.
After some research I found that perhaps converting buttons into movie clips would solve it. There around 40 buttons in total, and 8 such files ...I decided to try with one first, and then also, the on(rollOver) did not work. I then found out that nested movieclips do not always call on(rollOver) and the only solution might be to convert to AS3. Now this is obviously a nearly impossible thing for me to do at this stage, as
1. I am not that experienced with AS3 and the website is quite extensive
2. I need to send out this website asap...
it possible to create a button in flash that when clicked the flash interface extends to fit fullbrowser?
View 4 RepliesI want to play a movie clip when I click a button.I made 3 states: inicial (how it looks before anything happens) (up)hover (plays an animation after waiting 20 frames) (over)click (plays an animation right away) (down)I placed these movie clips inside of my button's up, over, and down frames. This works great except when I click, i'll need to click and hold for my animation to get past the first frame.
View 1 RepliesI have a Flash movie to be displayed in fullscreen on a kiosk. Also, It needs to run in a browser window because I'm using JavaScript to reload the page for resetting the movie.
The problem is, it doesn't go fullscreen when I put the following line to the constructor:
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
But it works fine if I put the line to a button's click handler.
Note: It doesn't work if just call the handler function with a null parameter.
How can I make it fullscreen as soon as it opens?
i'm building an projector application in AS3, as a slide show.When the right and left keys are pressed on the keyboard, the slides change.the code to change the slide:
Code:
function setup() {
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, displayKey);
}
setup();
[code]....
Some slides have button on it, that change the slide, jumping to a chapter the user whant to see.the problem i'm having is that when the button at a slide is clicked, the key press detection does not work anymore. To make it work, I have to click somewhere on the stage.
I have made 30 movieclips for my level selection screen. Then I create a movieclip with the same name using a for loop. With that code I make roll_over function showing a Tooltip.

I'm aware this sounds quite involved, but would it be possible to make a Flash button counter that would store the number of clicks (that it displays) on a remote server; so even if the page was closed and re-opened it would still show "2" or "11" for example. In addition to that, would it be possible to only allow one click per IP address? So for example, one specific IP address (user) couldn't keep clicking it over and over and increasing the number.
The reason I wanted to use a Flash object as opposed to something like jQuery was because I want to embed it on a forum that isn't mine. Obviously I don't have access to the site's files/modules etc. Essentially it's almost like the Facebook "like button." It displays the number of likes, as well is storing the value on a remote server.
have a loop that creates buttons. Each button stays on the screen, but scrolls off, meaning there are at any one time upto 4 buttons on the screen. There are a total of 241 buttons.t is to my understanding that using an array will allow me to access these buttons later, and that is great, but I can not find a way for it to tell me exactly which button was clicked.Am I missing something very simple here?
if (canAdd == true)
{
canAdd = false;

I made a Flash menu with this tutorial:[URL]The animation is different but the scripting is basically the same. I have animated buttons (They're actually movie clips though) that play one animation on rollover, and a different animation on rollout.
What I want to do, is have the button stay on the over state if it's clicked, (so people know what page they're on) until another button is clicked in which case it would do the rollout animation, and then the new button would stay clicked.
[URL]
But the scripting is different I'm not sure how to make it work with what I already have, and I don't really want to start over completely.
if i wanted a flash button when clicked on to open a html page in a i-frame how would this be done? what would the script be for this particulare action?
View 6 RepliesI have an application that is built in flash. I am using Flash CS3. The application was built using AS2, and it is being designed for touch screens so there will be no keyboard or mouse. Certain parts of the application have text fields, so to enter text there is an on screen keyboard that pops up. The keyboard works great, but it does not have a tab key. Here is the code for some of the other special keys:
spacekey.onRelease = spacekey.onRollOut = spacekey.onDragOut = function ()
{
keyStroke(" ");

I'm trying to make an onscreen keyboard for one of the programs I wrote. With this flash program you can type Persian in any program. It uses a special kind of font. So I first mapped all the characters like:
//space
case String.fromCharCode(0x0023):
return String.fromCharCode(0x0023);
break;
[Code] .....
Now this program works perfectly when somebody actually uses the keyboard. Now I added an on screen keyboard. (buttons for each alphabet) but I don't seem to be able to somehow tell flash to type alphabet "be" for example and keep the conditions too! The text field is called "textF".
my designer made a fla file where he has animated layers loads of them. All the images inside those animations are loaded from outside the swf.
Now, the issue is at one point in time I want some of the objects to go under another object ( current their on top) . If I do this visually the images inside the swf(loaded) are lost.

Relative newbie with AS3 but I need to make an onscreen keyboard for a touchscreen. Through some searching and coding I have a keyboard object that can send events based on clicks but I'm not sure how to go that "last mile" to trigger an actual keyboard event so the selected TextField gets updated.
