• AddListener for a button inside a movieclip in the library?

  Could someone point me in the right direction on how to add a listener for a button inside a movieclip in the library?
  
  Example:
  Root-> work_mc-> workss_mc (added with Addchild) (timeline)
  
  There are workss_mc in the library which is charged when someone clicks on a button inside work_mc. This is achieved with addChild. In workss_mc there is a close button to close it. I encountered problems with the work of navigation with this b/c I have to declare and create a single instance of workss_mc within a scope where it is visible to both managers of click, this will place the two managers in one place. So to do this I would need them all be designating the code of navigation, the root.
  
  So, how can I access the root workss_mc?

  It is good news.

  Now, what happens if you just after on the main timeline - none other than the trace:

  function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent) {}

  workss_mc = new mc_workss();

  workss_mc.addEventListener ("closeButtonClick", onCloseClick);

  workss_mc.x = 225;

  workss_mc.y = 200;

  addChild (workss_mc);

  removeChild (work_mc);

  }

  function onCloseClick(e:Event):void {}

  trace ("clicked")

  }

• Problem using a button inside a movieclip and make change a button what it does based diffferent.

  First question is that I can't get any coding inside my movieclip to affect the main storyline.

  Go as simple as possible, I reduced to

  "

  parent.nextFrame ();

  "

  I thought less coding means less room for mistakes, but there is nothing at all.

  Next issue is my button ignore my IF statement.

  "

  If (this ._currentframe! = 4 | 10 | 16 | 22: 28: 34 | 40 | 46 | 52 | 58 | 64 | 70) {}

  prevFrame();

  } else {}

  gotoAndStop (3);

  }

  "

  This button makes prevFrame no matter what chassis it is on.

  I have read the tutorials and maintained using code people offered as solutions, but nothing did. Quick response appreciated, I have a deadline for this. Thank you

  You may NOT use any encoding in this movieclip as the goto, play() and stop().

  but, if you CAN use a coding in this movieclip to control the parent movieclip. for example,.

  _parent.nextFrame ();

  and that the code of the button must be:

  If (this ._currentframe! = 4 |) This ._currentframe! = 10 | This ._currentframe! = 16 | This ._currentframe! = 22 | This ._currentframe! = 28 | This ._currentframe! = 34 | This ._currentframe! = 40 | This ._currentframe! = 46 | This ._currentframe! = 52 | This ._currentframe! = 58 | This ._currentframe! = 64 | This ._currentframe! = 70) {}

  prevFrame();

  } else {}

  gotoAndStop (3);

• How to access a button inside a MovieClip that is the source of a scrollpane?

  Hello world

  I created a crollpane in my flash file and the source of the pane scrolling is a movieclip that contains a button.

  Now, I want to add a function to stop this button to link to an image in the main timeline.

  Could someone tell me what is the right as3 code to access this button?

  Thank you!

  To target the movieclip which is the source of the pane scrolling you can use:

  MovieClip (sp.content) / / where sp is the name of the instance of scrollpane

  So, to target the button with this movieclip...

  MovieClip (sp.content).btn.addEventListener (... etc.

• Cannot click on buttons inside draggable movieclip.

  I have a removable clip, mc_PI on the stage in which I have another movieclip, mc_PIcontainer in which I load an image.  Then, I place a few buttons, btn_Ant1, btn_Ant2, etc. inside mc_PI.

  mc_PI hangs out just fine within the limits that I said, but I can't click the buttons that are inside mc_PI.  I need the buttons inside the mc_PI, because I need them to drag as well as the image in mc_PI.mcPIcontainer.  My code is:

  ///////////////////
  Dragging.
  ///////////////////
  var container: MovieClip = mc_PI.mc_PIcontainer.createEmptyMovieClip ("container", 1);
  var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
  mcLoader.addListener (this);
  mcLoader.loadClip ("images/PI.jpg", mc_PI.mc_PIcontainer.container);

  function onLoadInit(mc:MovieClip)
  {
  mc.forceSmoothing = true;
  MC._quality = "BEST";
  }

  mc_PI.useHandCursor = false;
  mc_PI.onPress = function (): Void
  {
  startDrag (this, false,-910,-1769, 1, 36);
  }

  mc_PI.onRelease = mc_PI.onRollOut = function (): Void
  {
  stopDrag();
  }

  
  /////////////////////////

  /////////////////////////
  mc_PI.btn_Ant1.useHandCursor = true;
  mc_PI.btn_Ant1.onRelease = function (): Void
  {
  trace ("clicked mc_Ant1");

  to check click parent1 child1, use:

  {parent1.onRelease = Function ()}

  {if (parent1.child1.HitTest (_xmouse, _ymouse))}

  do everything.  the user has clicked Child1

  }

• access a button inside a movieclip

  Hey...

  IM pretty new to Flash, I have a problem that took hours, only not to get sorted, so I'll try my luck here...

  I basically made a substitution menu that is nested within a movieclip. the movieclip is placed on 1 st. on the main Timeline frame and I want the buttons inside the clip to the user of a different image on the main timeline, but no matter what I do, it's just does not...

  Here are some of it solutions I've tried to do:

  function work1(e:Event)

  {

  //MovieClip(parent.parent).gotoAndStop ("work1")

  //gotoAndStop ("work1")

  //this.gotoAndStop ("work1")

  //parent(gotoAndStop ("work1"))

  //MovieClip(this.parent).gotoAndStop ("work1")

  //MovieClip(parent.gotoAndStop ("work1"))

  //this(gotoAndStop ("work1"))

  //main.gotoAndStop ("work1")

  //root.gotoAndStop ("work1")

  //MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay ("work1")

  //MovieClip(stage).gotoAndPlay ("work1")

  MovieClip (root.parent.parent) .gotoAndStop ("work1");

  }

  work1_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, Group1);

  I hope someone can help...

  Of course, LOL and thanks, glad that I can help you.

  for future things, (which didn't need to wait for a rendering as this project), if you want to get specific with your listeners (instead of a listener to the stage), you can add the following:

  var buttons: Array = new Array (btn1_name, btn2_name, btn3_name);

  for each {(var btn in buttons)

  btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);

  }

  That will restrict the event to those buttons... but use your button names in the table of course.

• Need help to connect the buttons inside a movieclip

  Hello

  I have five mcButtons inside a movieclip. I want to, so if the user clicks on the 1 mcButton it won't Stop on frame 2. I want then the other four mcButtons that were not clicked to stop on frame 2. Can't do the second part of this work. my code is below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance

  they all go to the same frame?  that makes no sense.

  If you want to run each in their own framework 1, except just clicked the button that should go to its Framework 2, direct all frame them 1 followed by the evt.currentTarget goes to frame 2:

  function getXML08(e:MouseEvent) {}

  for (var i: int = 1; i<>

  prev08 ["BNT" + i] .gotoAndStop (1);

  }

  MovieClip (e.currentTarget) .gotoAndStop (2);

• Access to the button inside Movieclip/ScrollPane

  Hi all

  I'm trying to understand how to create a button inside a movieclip.  I have a model that has movieclips in movieclips, and when I create a button (while using AS2) the button works if I test the stage, but in the whole flash movie it does not work.  I have also a few buttons inside a ScrollPane who also do not call correctly.

  I use this code for my button:

  facebookbtn.on (release) {}

  getURL ("http://www.facebook.com/", "_blank", "GET");

  }

  ↑ This is placed on the button "facebookbtn". I also tried to use: _root.bgPages.pg1.facebookbtn.on (release), does not.

  For the one inside a ScrollPane I try to call a javascript function:

  {We (Release)}

  to import flash.external.ExternalInterface;

  ExternalInterface.call("saveglobalscore",score) ("GroupDelegate", "dayone1");

  }

  ↑ This does not work, with or without the name of the button before it (release).

  I put the FLA here so that if someone has the time, could help me with this problem quickly. Thank you!

  FLA: download FLA

  Different code depending on how you assign it. what you show seems to be mixing up both ways...

  If you place this code on the button, use:

  on (release) {}

  getURL ("http://www.facebook.com/", "_blank", "GET");

  }

  If you place this code in the script that contains the button, do not forget that you gave this name of the instance to the button (in the properties, not the library panel), and then copy the following code:

  facebookbtn.onRelease = function() {}

  getURL ("http://www.facebook.com/", "_blank", "GET");

  }

• TypeError: Error #1009: when communicating to a button in a MovieClip

  I get the following error:

  [SWF] ProjectZ_iOS.swf - 12154544 bytes after decompression

  TypeError: Error #1009: cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

  at ProjectZ_iOS_fla::MainTimeline/goButtons() [ProjectZ_iOS_fla. MainTimel ine::frame71:54]

  By trial and error, I have reduced this problem down (line 54) of an 'if' statement (and all the other instructions) that communicate to a button in a movie clip (PopUp_GetMore.bnt_MoreRemixesGoHome). When the user clicks this button I want to delete the movieclip on the stage and turn the visibility of the other buttons to true. I get this error for every query that communicates to a button in the movieclip. I have several conditions in the service, but for example I am love, only include the declaration for a button below:

  Variables

  var PopUp_GetMore:MainMoreRemixes_mc = new MainMoreRemixes_mc();

  //******************************Stage buttons**************************************

  stage.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goButtons);

  function goButtons(event:MouseEvent):void

  {

  Add the movieclip on the stage

  if(Event.Target == bnt_GetMore)

  {

  addChild (PopUp_GetMore);

  PopUp_GetMore.x = stage.stageWidth/2;

  PopUp_GetMore.y = stage.stageHeight/2;

  bnt_Behind.visible = false;

  bnt_GetMore.visible = false;

  bnt_Facts.visible = false;

  bnt_AuthorIllustrator.visible = false;

  }

  Deletes the clip of the scene

  If (event.target is PopUp_GetMore.bnt_MoreRemixesGoHome)

  {

  removeChild (PopUp_GetMore);

  bnt_Behind.Visible = true;

  bnt_GetMore.Visible = true;

  bnt_Facts.Visible = true;

  bnt_AuthorIllustrator.Visible = true;

  }

  }

  What I am doing wrong? If the declarations as communcate with the buttons inside the movieclip appear in another function?

  1009 error indicates that one of the objects targeted by your code are out of reach.  This may mean that the object...

  -is declared but not instantiated

  n ' is not have an instance name (or the name of the instance is misspelled)

  n ' is not in the frame where this code tries to talk to her

  -is animated in place, but is not assigned the name of the instances of each keyframe for her

  -is one of the two or more consecutive keyframes of the same objects without a name assigned in the image previous (s).

  If you go to your section to publish the Flash settings and select permit debugging option, your error message should have a suite of line number the number of the frame that will help you to isolate the object that is involved.

  And just in case it might be a misspelling... If it is a button would not name more likely include "btn" rather than "bnt".

• AS3 putting the buttons inside the Movie Clip

  I'm practicing AS3 (after years of AS2) and can't have a button inside of a clip speaks to another clip on the main timeline. Here is the code:

  OneButton.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, OneButtonClicked);

  function OneButtonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void

  {

  MovieTarget.gotoAndStop (1);

  MovieDescription.gotoAndStop ("One");

  }

  TwoButton.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, TwoButtonClicked);

  function TwoButtonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void

  {

  MovieTarget.gotoAndStop (2);

  MovieDescription.gotoAndStop ("Two");

  }

  The code above works, but if I put OneButton and channels within a clip, I know can target the MovieTarget and MovieDescription. The reason that I want to put OneButton and strings inside it's own MC is so I can dim each hit after top by switching the playhead within this MC help. ? Thank you!

  Start from the beginning

  Press f8 and choose movieClip, then draw your button movie untoggled call then create another movie and create your button toggled or grayed button and call it greyedButton.  Go to the main stage add 2 instances of button and 2 greyedButton (just drag the library).  you have 4 instances on stage.  give the name of the instances of appeal and place them one over the other so you can see 2 buttons on the stage.  put the button greyed under the button.

  now with action script

  Button1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, OneButtonClicked);

  function OneButtonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void

  {

  MovieTarget.gotoAndStop (1);

  MovieDescription.gotoAndStop ("One");

  Button1.visible = false; Here the button greyed will show

  }

  Button2.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, TwoButtonClicked);

  function TwoButtonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void

  {

  MovieTarget.gotoAndStop (2);

  MovieDescription.gotoAndStop ("Two");

  Button1.Visible = true; Here button1 will return to its orignal State

  Button2.visible = false / / here will show the button greyed

  }

• How activate a button nested inside a movieclip as soon as the playhead enters and stop on a specific frame on the timeline root?

  The button nested in a clip has been set to false, like this, and the code is placed inside the movieclip.

  The code in the main timeline:

  stage.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, enableBtn);

  function enableBtn(event:Event):void {}

  {if(currentFrame==21)}

  nav_mov.theBtn.mouseEnabled = true;

  }

  }

  The code for the button to false, which is placed in the movieClip

  theBtn.mouseEnabled = false;

  The movieClip is placed on the main timeline.

  Thank you very much for your help.

  that makes no sense.

  create a new fla.  Copy and paste your code in order to frame 1. Add a key frame to frame of 21.  Add a movieclip (nav_mov) on frame of 21.  in frame 1 of the nav_mov to a button (theBtn).

  test.  all the problems?

  Otherwise, how relevant your original fla is different than what I suggested that you create for testing purposes?

• Closing button inside swf File

  Hello! I went through the web to find an answer for a while now, but couldn't find a solution.

  I'm creating a banner with as3. It requires a close button so that the user can click the button and close the ad.

  It was very easy in as2 to do. Could someone help me? I created the button and tried different code snippets (event listener, fscommand("quit"), remove the DOM). Thank you!

  which does not really do anything.  He'll always be spaces occupied by the swf file.

  but, if you can do it with as3, too.  during your use of earphone button function:

• Make a button in a movieClip takes you to a different image outside the movieClip? (AS2)

  I have a project, a clip that contains panoramic text and a button.

  Basically, the second image contains said film clip, the movieClip is panoramic of text, then the last image of the movieClip is a keyframe with a button inside. How can I do so by clicking on the 'next' button takes me to frame 3 of the project overall? Thank you!

  Assign the button an instance name (example uses 'btnName'), then in the timeline that it occupies, put the code so he can tell the main timeline to go to the next section...

  btnName.onRelease = function() {}

  _root.nextFrame ();  or _root.gotoAndStop (3);

• How do I get a field of dynamic text inside a movieclip

  It's the stuff probably easy for most of you guys tried to have this work for the last hour, and it does not work.

  Basically, I made my own button which is a movieclip. Inside the movieclip on the normal/roll off the coast of the State, I put an instance name Dynamics «textbtn» textfieldwith

  my button is supposed to expand on 2 images on my mainstage, thought is to say something different in each picture.

  Insofar as I have this inside the movieclip on frame 1:

  textbtn. Text = MovieClip (parent) .buttonText;

  I have my mainstage in frame1:

  back_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, buttonRollOver);

  back_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, buttonRollOut);

  back_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);

  function buttonRollOut(event:MouseEvent):void {}

  back_btn.gotoAndStop ("OFF");

  }

  function buttonRollOver(event:MouseEvent):void {}

  back_btn.gotoAndStop ("Over");

  }

  function buttonClick(event:MouseEvent):void {}

  back_btn.gotoAndStop ("Click");

  gotoAndStop ("frontpage2");

  }

  buttonText = "this is frame1 '; var

  I have my mainstage in frame2:

  buttonText = "this is frame2."

  
  

  I think that you are unnecessarily complex things.

  A good practice is not not to litter the timeline inside movieclips with code. When you want to go find a code to fix something, you may need to browse movieclips several levels deep to get the code in a frame. Soon, it become unweildly.

  If you want to use the chronology, I record the event listeners and also to set the text for the button of the timeline root. I also don't use "image tags" because they are very archaic, although can be used.

  To make your buttons I make a movieclip (affecting flash.display.Sprite for optimization of the base class of the clamp) and includes 3 layers. bottom of layer 1, layer 2 roll, layer text 3. I don't see any State 'on' mentioned in your code, so I left out that. Roll or "selected" and "textfield" layers should have instance names so that you can access. For example I would appoint the State selected for selected_mc and TextField in text_txt graph.

  If your button has been appointed as you say back_btn then the code would look like this, remembering that the event passes a target property:

  back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, buttonRollOver);back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, buttonRollOut);back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);Sprite(back_btn.getChildByName('selected_mc')).visible = false; // make sure the initial selected state is invisible
  
   function buttonRollOut(event:MouseEvent):void{    Sprite(Sprite(event.currentTarget).getChildByName('selected_mc')).visible = false;     TextField(Sprite(event.currentTarget).getChildByName('text_txt')).text = 'roll off'; // change to the roll off text}
  
  function buttonRollOver(event:MouseEvent):void{    Sprite(Sprite(event.currentTarget).getChildByName('selected_mc')).visible = true;     TextField(Sprite(event.currentTarget).getChildByName('text_txt')).text = 'roll on'; // change to the roll on text}
  
  function buttonClick(event:MouseEvent):void{    Sprite(Sprite(event.currentTarget).getChildByName('selected_mc')).visible = true;     TextField(Sprite(event.currentTarget).getChildByName('text_txt')).text = 'selected text'; // change to the selected text   gotoAndStop("frontpage2");  }
  
  TextField(back_btn.getChildByName('text_txt')).text = 'start text'; // change to the starting text of the button
  

  The display list returns DisplayObjectContainer and DisplayObject must always conclude with the 'type' they want to access it properly. That's why I Sprite() and TextField() wrapped around specific things. This gives you access to their settings.
