How do I code AS 3.0 to have multiple buttons on a frame selected sequentially? I have on frame with 4 buttons programmed to go to a specif frame when clicked. However, I want the buttons selected selected sequentially, so a user can not just click the last button and be finished with the CBT.
View 3 Repliesi have an if statement, an object will go to a new frame if multiple buttons are pressed
PHP Code:[code].....
now i want it so that if one condition is met the mc will goto frame 2, if 2 conditions are met, frame 3 and if 3 conditions are met, frame 4.i know i could do this with a lot of if statements but i have a lot of movie clips to use this code on, so is there any way to write an if statement that will trigger different options if multiple conditions are met?
This is TJenner2's code I got from this thread:

I've tried endlessly to make sense of the solutions that other people have posted. But I cannot seem to get any code to work my my purposes, so I decided to post my own thread.I have a main parent Flash movie that I need to load 7 exteral SWFs into. Each of the SWFs is like its own scene in a longer movie. The external files are called:
mc1.swf
mc2.swf
mc3.swf
mc4.swf
mc5.swf
mc6.swf
mc7.swf
The final parent movie should play each external SWF movie sequentially so that it appears as one combined movie (so none of the loaded SWFs are actually playing at the same time - they should only play one at a time, one after another).I want to preload mc1.swf, mc2. swf and mc3.swf into the cache before the parent movie starts playing(and I would like to include a progress bar to indicate loading status). Once those SWFs are preloaded, I would like them to start playing sequentially while the rest of the SWFs load in the background.
Basically,I have a long Flash animation that I decided to split up into several individual movies.I've using the parent movie to seamlessly string together my individual movies to give the appearance of cohesion.I have determined that I should use the MovieClipLoader Class and loadClip() to accomplish what I am trying to do.However, I have a very limited knowledge of actionscripting, so this has been a major challenge for me.
I am optimizing the parent SWF for the web, and it's important that the video plays seamlessly, so I cannot put individual preloaders onto each external SWF. They have to preload at the beginning so that when each individual SWF is called, it's already loaded and no preloader is required.
I have got 3 swf files scene1, scene2 and scene3. Out of which scene2 and scene3 are embedded inside html files named scene2.html and scene3.html. I also want to include pre-loader at every intervals between the scenes, since the total file size including images and scripts is around 4mb.

View 3 RepliesI have a project which is very straight forward however I'm having trouble figuring out the logic to get it started as well as the actionscript to get it working.THE PROJECT1. The user must choose one (only) out of about 100 buttons available on the page/frame.2. When the chosen button is released, the other buttons diasappear/turn invisible and become inactive3. A message appears within a speech bubble pointing to the selected button.PROBLEMS1. How do I make all the button disappear except the chosen one?2. How do I make the speech bubble point to the chosen button no matter which one they choose?MY LIMITED LOGIC SAYS1. I need to collect x and y values somehow to position the speech bubble2. Pass a variable to tell flash 'this is the chosen button'3. Tell flash to hide every button that isn't the chosen one using the variable

I am pretty new and I am trying to swap out swift files when the Buttons (Cabs & Sleeper) are selected but I cant figure out where to add the ".swf" file correctly, the current code I created is working but I am sure there is a better way to swap them, plus if I add more then 2 buttons the removechild will not work correctly (if a child by that name is not loaded) I think I have the right concept but I do not know how to make a variable that will swap the .swf rather than adding and removing the child.

Lets say I have a nav with 4 items that are blue. If I click on one, I want it to turn red and stay red to reflect that Im looking at content in that area. If I click another nav item, the previous turns back to blue while the newly selected one turns red. I started to write a function and define a variable but I would like to see an example.
View 3 RepliesI'm making a platform game at the moment with each levelinside a frame. For the background music I was going to embed thesound sound file in the library and whenever the app moves to a newframe on the timeline new music will play. It needs to be on eachframe as each level of the application is a frame itself.So for example
Frame 2 = Level 1 Plays, BackgroundMusic runs
Frame 3 = Level 2 Plays, Stop Music 1, and Play
BackgroundMusic2

i'm trying to remember a selected state on frame 5 and when i return back to that frame i want it to still be selected. here is my code so far:
Code:
var back:Object = new Object();
back.click = function(oEvent:Object) {
oEvent.target.selected = oEvent.target.selected;
};
q1.addEventListener("click", back);
i know its probably a little bit wrong but yeh i have this code on my back button in frame 20.
i can't figure out how to do this... ok, here's what i need. i have a movieclip that plays, (its bars on a motion guide) and i want it, depending on a variable to play to a certain frame. so, lets say the variable = 1 then i would want it to play until it got to frame 15 then stop, if the variable = 2 then i would want it to play until it got to 30.

The only thing that has me puzzled is the preview field. Basically i have a background which is a movie clip, it basically transforms from the loader to the background (over 70 frames).
is there a way to have the preview field for the root movie display a child movie at a frame other than frame 1? At the moment it looks like this: [URL]
But i'm wanting it to look like this: [URL]
It would help or positioning other items if i had the background displayed how it will actually be?

}else
mc.gotoAndStop(1);

I have a problem when making flash applications with more than one frame that has symbols placed on it in that I can't declare all of the event listeners for the objects at the same time and I have found that even if I put them all on the first frame, add the event listeners, then click through to the next frame then the buttons won't work on that frame.
Does anyone have any idea how I could solve this? I did consider myself a fairly competent AS3 programmer until I realised I had no idea how to handle this sort of thing. Solved: I initialised the clips from my external class and then addChild'd and removeChild'd them as I needed to and placed their x and y on addChilding.

I curenttly making a simple online portfolio using flash (as3). Each piece of work i'm displaying resides within a mc on the main time line, and within that each piece of my work lives in its own keyframe, so the site has a basic 'mc.gotoandstop("label")' navigation. I can get my images to fade in using a AS tween, but I want to get the previous image/piece of work to fade out before jumping to the selected key frame and fading in the selected work. Currently, the innards of my button function reads something like:
tween (fadeout)
gotoandstop
tween (fade in)
but this clearly not the right way to go about it? Is there a way of putting slight delay after the fade out tween in the function? To let it fully fade out before fading in the new work?

I've got a movieclip acting as a button. Code on the button itself handles roll-over/-out states, and I define an onRelease function in the main timeline as follows:
[Code]...
This code takes the movie back to the first frame and works on the third frame. For some reason, though, the same code on the fifth frame has no effect. The button doesn't do anything. I have tried using the same button, I tried inserting a new keyframe with a new button, renaming the button, etc. and for some reason I just can't get it to work on the fifth frame. If it helps to visualize, I am essentially making a menu. The first frame contains buttons to take you to submenus, located on following slides. This button to go back to the original menu is on each frame with a submenu, but for some reason only works on one of them.
Where can I find step by step instructions for creating next frame and previous frame buttons with Flash CS4?
