AS3 MOVIE CLIP HELP BUTTON!

• AS3: see the hide the elements of the movie clip, single button array.

  Hello and please forgive my Noobdity I teach myself AS3 and stuck on what are obviously the basics.

  I did the simple animations for years without using any AS3 at all, the time has come to take seriously.

  I read the daylights out of all reference documents Adobe now but I am stuck on this task.

  I have 4 objects of movie clip whose visibility I control with two buttons.

  First button, two of these visible clips and the other two will make visible = false

  For example: Mc1 and Mc2 > visible, Mc3 and Mc4 > visible = false

  The second button run the same function but in reverse

  Eg: Mc1 and Mc2 > visible = false, Mc3 and Mc4 > visible

  I've determined correctly or incorrectly reading endless and looking for a table should be the best way to do it.

  I may have to use the child feature add but * shrugs, I'm lost atmo

  I've been blunders on the code for the first of two simple buttons.

  I start slowly form a mindmap what should be done, but it's early days.

  Here is my code and please feel free to

  Last attempt tries to use the mouse on the trigger to control the visible state of the second two clips.

  var wcArray:Array = [myMovieclip1, myMovieclip2];

  var acArray:Array = [myMovieclip3, myMovieclip4];

  acComp_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, _acComp);

  internal _acComp(e:MouseEvent): void {}

  for each {(var point: MovieClip dans acArray)}

  Item.visible =! item.visible;

  }

  }

  acComp_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, _wcComp);

  internal _wcComp(e:MouseEvent): void {}

  for each {(var point: MovieClip dans wcArray)}

  Item.visible =! item.visible = false;

  }

  }

  Currently run 1050 error: impossible to assign a value, not reference.

  The text in blue works with 2 clips of film acArray of course, where the attempt to use the mouse on.

  Any advice on the solution or the best method to implement would be greatly appreciated.

  For what you're trying to make a table is more complication than a solution, you have already divided in two arrays anyway probably due to this tax... and have two buttons to do isn't necessary, but you may already be knowing that since you have only code for one of them in any case.

  All you need is a button that activates the visible properties to their opposites.

  var array: Array = [myMovieclip2, myMovieclip3, myMovieclip1, myMovieclip4];

  myMovieClip1.visible = myMovieclip2.visible = false;  or the other two... depending on what initially as invisible

  btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, _acComp);

  function _acComp(e:MouseEvent): void {}

  for each {(var point: MovieClip dans tableau)}

  Item.visible =! item.visible;

  }

  }

  LF, you must have two buttons to do the opposite, as you say, then clicking on buttons must end up affecting all the buttons, no not only one of the tables you have done.  If each button should do what you say, then you should not use the! operator since that can go the opposite of what you intend, so you must assign the desired state.

  var wcArray:Array = [myMovieclip1, myMovieclip2];

  var acArray:Array = [myMovieclip3, myMovieclip4];

  acComp_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, _acComp);

  function _acComp(e:MouseEvent): void {}

  for each {(var point: MovieClip dans acArray)}

  Item.Visible = false;

  }

  for each {(var item2:MovieClip in wcArray)

  Item2.Visible = true;

  }

  }

  wcComp_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, _wcComp);

  function _wcComp(e:MouseEvent): void {}

  for each {(var point: MovieClip dans wcArray)}

  Item.Visible = false;

  }

  for each {(var item2:MovieClip in acArray)

  Item2.Visible = true;

  }

  }

• Targeting nested Movie Clips help

  Having a little trouble with this basic idea, any input would be appreciated.

  Here's my example, frame 1 is a mc, I created named holder. Inside, there is a mc named box. Inside the box are four mcs, circles1-4, inside the circles, I have four skulls.

  

  If I want to affect only the skulls, what is the right way to go?

  For example, what is the right way to write an instruction trace?

  or, if I wanted the skulls fade individually on mouse over, how well would you write this function?

  function over(evt:MouseEvent):void {}

  evt. Target.Alpha =. 5;

  {

  trace();

  }

  }

  Thanks in advance,

  I realize, it's basic stuff, but it comes back to bite me.

  -Sean

  Holder.Box.Circle1.Skull.addEventListener.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDragFunction);

  function startDragFunction(evt:MouseEvent):void {}

  for (var i = 0; i)< 4;="">

  trace ("holder.box.circle" + i + ".skull");

  }

  This would draw a string of your path of the target, where 'I' represents the number of clips you try target. There are different ways you can take this string and apply it to actually target you pliers, do some research on "getChildByName.

  I have not worked with code drag in AS3 yet, so I'm not sure of the syntax. I would suggest you start a new thread and ask on the forum, because it is unrelated to this thread and I guess that not many people will answer your question of drag based on the title of the topic of the thread.

• photos of flash as3 movie clip

  is there an easy way in as3 flash to change the image of movieclip? How can I go about it?

  If you place images in different forums of the movieclip, you can use stop (framework) to spend at different times and stop.

• stop the cursor buttons movie clip

  I animated movie clips as buttons. When she reaches the point where the cursor is on the button, it disappears. Here is the script that I have on the main timeline:
  
  news_mc is the instance name of my movie clip button
  
  news_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, news page);
  news_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, newsRollOn);
  news_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, newsRollOff);
  news_mc.buttonMode = true;
  function newsRollOn(event:MouseEvent):void {}
  news_mc.gotoAndPlay ("in");
  }
  
  function newsRollOff(event:MouseEvent):void {}
  news_mc.gotoAndPlay ("out");
  }
  
  function newsPage(event:MouseEvent):void {}
  gotoAndStop ("news");
  
  I know that there is something on
  news_mc. Mask =? I don't know if I have, of course, what part of the mask that I use. I have a layer that contains the background of the button (the name of the instance - background) then the 2 layers that form the animated mask - the layer mask contains a copy of the background of the button (instance name - context.2) and then the animation later mask contains a gradient which slides on the button (instance name - Masker).
  
  What is going on?

  ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT rather than mouse_over and _out did the trick!

• Video clips as buttons - regardless of my actions to stop and event listeners

  OK, so I think I'm along with related good files to show you guys! Learning just about everything, so forgive my ignorance so far!

  In any case, I'm just trying to understand movie clips as buttons and followed along on Lynda.com - however, I seem to do these things, but when I test my movie, the button loop just independently the bearings or the actions of the judgment.

  You can check this address www.midnyc.com to see anim failed, and you should be able to import as well. Here is my code:

  reversal function (e: Event) {}
  myBtn.gotoAndPlay ('in');
  }

  myBtn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, reversal);

  function implementation (e: Event) {}
  myBtn.gotoAndPlay ('out');
  }

  myBtn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, rollout);

  Thanks in advance for your help. And in KGLAD, thank you for recommending how publish a little better! Given that I've ever had links etc... Sorry about that.

  Do you have any kind of error messages?  Normally if there is an error in coding, clips and other things go haywire.

  For you, the event handler functions, try to specify the event that corresponds to the event of the listener...

  function implementation (e:MouseEvent) {}

  I think that 'EVENT' would be a mistake anyway... 'Event' would be correct

• roleOver movie clip button help

  Im stuck with the addition of roleovers to my movie clip buttons. To the then that my button code is set so that once clicked top stays on a framewhich is another color, it remains that color until the user clicks another button.

• Error #1009 with a movie clip button that is located in a clip

  OK, so I have a button in a movie clip of mc causing a great error problem which continues to repeat.  My code is extremely simple:

  Stop();

  infoGraphicDisparity.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, disparityGO);

  function disparityGO(event:MouseEvent):void

  {

  MovieClip (this.root) .gotoAndPlay ("disparity");

  }

  I used these types of buttons, a million times, and now CS6 doesn't like it.  Any help is very appreciated.  Thank you

  I have no idea which is MAIN, but...

  stage.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrameHandler);

  Listener is originally the function that seeks to target the HAND at the rate of your file, and she continues to do if you move in the 2 structure.  If there is no HAND in box 2, then it is your source of error.  Try to remove this event listener before going to box 2 and the problem should go away.

• Create a button in a movie clip for ipad

  I am trying to create a button in a clip for an ipad app (a button next to a slide show, the slide show page is a clip.
  This is the code that I have tried. Button = nextbutton, video clip = artworkmovie. I want just the button to advance the movie clip an image.

  nextbutton.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, nextClickHandler);

  function nextClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void

  {

  artworkmovie.nextFrame ();

  }

  It works very well from the scene, but if I have the button 'next' in the film 'artworkmovie' I get the error "Line19 1120 access of undefined property nextbutton. (Line19 is "nextbutton.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, nextClickHandler);") How can I create a path to the button? I tried artworkmovie.nextbutton and that has not worked.

  Sorry for this one basic question and thank you for your help.

  artworkmovie.nextButton should work.  Make sure you have the name of button assigned to each keyframe in the movieclip.

• Do away with button movie clip

  Hi all

  Thank you very much for watching my post and I hope you can answer my question

  Basically, I have a 3D interactive project only when the viewer clicks on the window and drag either right or left, then it pops up as they spin a 3D model, I have given out in Maya. What they do moves the mouse over the x axis that causes the clip to play backward or forward.

  The code I got from this site works like a dream! I even made sure that as they click a button depending on whether he goes to the other almost identical movie clip and he will leave the same frame as the previous video clip let go. I'm rather proud of myself for the moment

  However - on the second clip almost identical (mc_2), it has some tags on the images. And what I really want to do is, press the mouse for labels to disappear and when the viewer has finished breakfast through the time line with the mouse move and break the mouse, who reappear labels!

  Looks a lot like now here: http://BMC.Erin.utoronto.ca/~Enid/interactivethyroidectomy/

  So, I worked on this code which works perfectly in a small test project I've done. I put this on a button called my_btn and then made a label and this changed to a clip called my_mc and it all worked perfect

  on {(press)

  _root.my_mc._visible = false;

  }

  on (release) {}

  _root.my_mc._visible = true;

  }

  But what I really need to do is for my previous movieclip, mc_2, use the code above. However, if I add anywhere amoungst my actionscript previous coding in the mc_2 layer, then the viewer can no longer scrub through the timeline more. Clearly this code above is affected my previous code. which is:

  Stop();

  mc_2.stop ();

  var startX:Number;

  var startFrame:Number;

  var changeDistance:Number;

  var travelDistance:Number;

  mc_2.onPress = pressHandler;

  mc_2.onRelease = releaseHandler;

  mc_2.onreleaseoutside = releaseHandler;

  function pressHandler (): Void {}

  startX = mc_2._xmouse;

  startFrame = mc_2._currentframe;

  this.onMouseMove = moveHandler;

  }

  function releaseHandler (): Void {}

  this.onMouseMove = null;

  }

  function moveHandler (): Void {}

  changeDistance = mc_2._xmouse - startX;

  travelDistance = startFrame + changeDistance;

  If (travelDistance > mc_2._totalframes) {}

  mc_2.gotoAndStop (travelDistance % mc_2._totalframes);

  } ElseIf (travelDistance < 0) {}

  mc_2.gotoAndStop (mc_2._totalframes + (travelDistance % mc_2._totalframes));

  } else {}

  mc_2.gotoAndStop (travelDistance);

  }

  }

  Just so I'm ultra clear for the various layers etc.

  On stage 1, I have four layers

  Actions, buttons, clips, video and background

  In two, it has the above actionscript and then mc_2

  Inside of the mc_2 are 100 images from a view of 360-degree images of a shoulder of Maya

  in the top layer of the images, I have labels - one of which ive converted a clip called my_mc to this post.

  So what I have to do is add somewhere in the ActionScript for the mc_2 who, with all the mouse, presses and releases for him also make a specific mc (my_mc) invisible when the mouse is pressed and re appear when the mouse is released.

  I hope that makes sense.

  I thank very you much for your help in advance.

  CAT

  If you want to target something inside the mc_2, then just target mc_2 in the path...

  mc_2.my_mc._visible = false;

• Movie clip button requires two clicks to activate

  Hello. Is there a reason why my movie clip buttons require only two clicks to activate the toggle function?

  I don't understand why this is happening.

  My code:

  btn_radio.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, ToggleRadio);

  btn_radio.buttonMode = true;
  btn_radio.useHandCursor = true

  function ToggleRadio(myEvent:MouseEvent) {}
  {if(!btn_radio.) Toggle)}
  btn_radio.gotoAndStop ("up");
  }
  on the other
  {
  btn_radio.gotoAndStop ("Down");
  }
  btn_radio. Toggle =! btn_radio. Toggle;
  }

  Any help would be great.

  -Pat

  probably because your pimples are starting in position 'high '.  use:

  btn_radio.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, ToggleRadio);

  btn_radio.buttonMode = true;
  btn_radio.useHandCursor = true

  function ToggleRadio(myEvent:MouseEvent) {}
  {if(!btn_radio.) Toggle)}
  btn_radio.gotoAndStop ("Down");
  }
  on the other
  {
  btn_radio.gotoAndStop ("up");
  }

  
  btn_radio. Toggle =! btn_radio. Toggle;
  }

• Button inside the Movie Clip

  Since you will have a lot of cities, buttons boxesand sharing the same code, it is best to put all the code in the main storyline (the first image).

  If you write code at the beginning that refers to an object that is not currently part of the scene (such as a button that is located on the second frame of a movieclip, which has a code stop() on the first picture), this code never reached its target.

  Similar: If you catch a MouseEvent as onRelease at the parent level, the event is not registered for the child.

  Hope that the attachment is what you had in mind.

  Edit: I should add that I see an invisible like button being a solution. My question would be is the best way to achieve this?

  then use navigateToURL():
