Get A Movie Clip To Play When A Button Is Clicked ?
Apr 12, 2009
On looking into buttons, I understand that to get a movie clip to play when a button is clicked you simply place the movie clip on the buttons 'hit' state. Having done this it does not work? Have I read wrong? Also the movie clip has a background the full size of the stage area. So when I attach this to the button, the button changes size to the same size as the movie? (i.e. whole stage area). How do I keep the button in it's original size while still playing the movie clip with large background?
I 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.
We have a short video of a street, which we are looking to pause when it is clicked and then all the hazards turn into drawings and flash. Then when you hover over a hazard it tells you some info about it.I have managed to get the video to stop when clicked, using the below code but can't get the movie clip of the flashing hazards to play at the same time. Is it even possible?
ActionScript Code: on (rollOver) { Pause video[code]...
Anyway what I need to do is have a movie clip finish playing when a button is clicked and then go to the frame label associated with the button. I hope I'm explaining myself ok. So if I had say 4 buttons Home Gallery About Contact If Contact is clicked then I want the Home page to play (Which is a fade out) and then go to Contact Page (which will fade in). Then If Gallery is clicked then I want Contact to fade out and then go to Gallery page and fade in.
Drag and drop game. I'd like the instance to tint red when rolled over after it's been successfully dropped. I'd also like to play a sound file when clicked after successful drop. Here's the code:
ActionScript Code: addEventListener("dropped", dropper); function dropper(e:Event):void {
I have a mc inside a frame on the main time line. a button on the main time line. i want to play the movie each time the button is clicked. another situation is i hv loaded a movie using loadMovie command. i want to play it again. currently i m using unloadMovie & loadMovie in succession. is there any other way of doing it...
When you click on a button it loads the movie clip that is on the main timeline. What I want to be able to do is when you click on another button the movie clip that you are on reverses and the new movie clip loads up.
I'm using a movie clip as a button to show content on a page, effectively its like a new page of the website. Problem is, with the script im using for it, once the content is show, the button is still active and if clicked again, will re-load the content. I want a way to effectively disable the button whist the content is shown.
I am trying to build a website, and here is the logic behind my problem. I have 2 button, when user clicked on button 1 i load movie clip from library with: _parent._parent.cont.attachMovie("Page1", "e", 0, {_x:-265, _y:-250}); when user clicked on button 2, i load other movie clip. Problem: i want remove last movie clip after user clicked on button 2 and then load new movie clip but i cant...
I have a button that when clicked starts a movie clip(a box enlarges from very tiny to large).That works fine. How do I make the same button reverse the movie clip when clicked again?
Normally, I want the movie to play the tween that spans from 25 to 35, then stop UNLESS a button has been clicked back on frame 24 - then I want the tween played from 25 to 35 then jump to 46.Problem is, in the button function code, if I have...gotoAndPlay(25); gotoAndPlay(46);the timeline jumps straight to 46 - it doesn't play 25-35. Why?I tried putting a timer in between the two gotoAndPlays, but itignored that too and jumped to 46.o how do I tell it - 'play from 25-35 and stop, unless but_a was pressed back on Frame 24 - then play 25-35, and then play 46' ?
Baisically I've created a button using symbol and I want the button to move a movie clip up the y axis by 4 every time it is clicked (move the movie.) I really don't know how to do this. This is what I currently have but its not ActionScript:
I'm trying to make a flash website that has clickable buttons that will play different movie clips. But I dont know how to make it to just play the movie clip with the button you click without playing all the movie clips on the main timeline.
I made a vertical list of thumbnails and converted them into a movie clip. There is a total of 20 thumbnails. I masked the movie clips so that it only shows 5 thumbnails at a time. I created keyframes at every point in the clip that 5 thumbnails are shown so that I can pause it.I was trying to use this code to scroll down from the first set of 5 to the second:
on (release) { design_thumbnails.gotoAndPlay (20) }
When I click the button nothing happens I'd also like to know how to rewind the movie so that when I press the up arrow it goes up to the previous set of 5.

I am working on a project that I have three movie clips animate onto the stage.I then have 3 buttons come up correlating with each movie clip.How do I script the buttons to play the movie clips?The movie clips are embeded FLV files just fyi.
I have a very simple fla i built, all i need is the hover "over" stage to play this tween. On the keyframe I made it a symbol, movie clip. In there all the tweens are set exactly. It seems if you wanted motion on a stage,you would just put that clip on the over stage. I uploaded the fla file: [URL]
Bit new to this and have been searching the adobe forums and google. I am trying to create a button that will play an imported MovieClip.I have a movie clip that I've imported into it's own layer (Layer1) Frame 1 I've given the MovieClip an instance name offoundationMovie.I've created a button and have that on its own layer(Layer2) above layer1, it is also in Frame 1.I've added a top (); action to layer2The video is not set to autoplay.I want the video to start playing when the viewer clicks the button. I know I've got to put some kind of event listener using AS3 in my timeline somewhere.I've found some code and I've been trying to work with it. I'm sure I've mutilated it beyond usability but this is what I've got.
stop (); player.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,play); function play(event:MouseEvent)
I working on the timeline and have some Actionscript 3 code (I have a actions layer on the timeline). I am not sure what the code is for clicking on a button(I made the buttons movie clips since I wanted to animate it) and it plays a movie clip.
I have a button on the stage called 'play_btn' and a movieclip called 'movie_mc'. The movieclip has a stop on it's first fame so that it doesn't play on the main timeline. I want to use actionscript to have the movieclip play when the button is clicked.I know i need to do some kind of movie_mc.gotoAndPlay('2') on the button or something like that.
I am using flash. I have a layer containing my movie clip animation. Another layer contains my 2 buttons and a 3rd layer contains my action script. Here is what I have managed to do- I got the stop and play buttons to work so when the movie plays I can click play and then click stop and the animation will stop and play as I ask. I added a stop(); command at the beginning of my script so that when the movie loads nothing plays until I click play. The problem is I would like to click play and allow the movie to continually play over and over even when it finishes. However I would like to keep the movie with my stop(); command so when it loads nothing plays until I ask it to.
what I can do so that when I click play my animated movie clip continues to loop again and again.
HTML Code: stop(); start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startCircle); function startCircle(e:MouseEvent):void{
I've made the outline of a site in AS3, on one of the pages it has an area that shows some text and images. If you click on the right arrow, the current info flys off to the left and the new info comes on from the right. This is done by just having a movie clip with a load of stops and code that says "absorbentInfo.play();" so it plays forward to the next bit of info.What I would like is a way to make it play backwards to the previous stop, so that it could cycle indefinitely either way.Code for the next button below.with the previous button.
I was wondering what the best way is to play a movie clip while dragging a button inside a separate movie clip. Example: I'm creating a children's book in Flash form. Some childrens' books have movement using a pull tab on the side of the page. I have created two things for one of these pages:
A) The pull tab movie clip consisting of a button inside of it. Its code is as follows:
on (press) { startDrag(toggleDrag2,false,596.5,118.0,666.5,118. 0); } on (release) { stopDrag(); }
This way (and it works), the pull tab cannot be dragged along the y axis, and its movement along the x axis is restricted.
B) A movie clip with a symbol in it that has a motion tween, 75 frames, a stop action and key frame on each of the 75 frames.
