• Control Movie clip button in the timeline

  Hello

  I found this code example of Ned Murphy on this forum.

  But how do I adapt this to control a movieclip called mcGlider

  starting from a button on the main timeline.

  Btn1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1Click);

  
  function btn1Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {}

     var url: String = " http://www.Awebsite.com/aWebpage.html ";

  var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest (url);

  navigateToURL (req);

  }

  I hope someone can help out me.

  Thank you

  I have not watched all the code, but if you have a button on the main timeline, and a movieclip named glider_mc on the main timeline which contains textfields, then to interact with the textfields target you via the movieclip...

  glider_mc.textfieldName.text = 'something';

• Location of the mouse controlling movie clips shake

  So, I want to control a rotation of clips from the film with the location of the mouse, with easing if possible. But I'm having trouble knowing where to begin. Can anyone help on this?

  The best place to start is with a focused research on Google, perhaps using search terms such as... '' Mouse pivot AS2 follow. ''

  This is one of the results of this research which may help you (depending on what you want really)...

• Key Flash / Movie Clip

  Hello...

  I'm pretty new to Flash... I am trying to create a button or movie clip... I have 3 empty boxes with a message next to each... When you click on the first box, a check mark is displayed and a message is playing to go to the second box unchecked... When you click on the second box this box appears and plays a message to pass to the third box unchecked... At the end all the 3 boxes checked and the messages are there... Once this is done, it turns more and 2 buttons appear...

  Don't know if I should create 3 buttons with a clip in each or create a clip with buttons in them... And how do...

  Any help would be greatly appreciated... I work in Flash 9.

• 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;

  }

  }

• Build relationships of button in a movie clip

  I'm looking to learn more about Flash in general and actionscript in particular. I created a flash piece that consists of 4 buttons in a clip that is be hidden by another clip. A film is all of the 4 buttons. The other film is a "spotlight" that moves with the cursor. As the spotlight shines on each button, the button text changes color and is "enlightened". The State above each button is set key to change the color. When I put a keyframe in the Down state of each button to add actionscript to create the action that makes the clickable button to take the Viewer on a web page, it tells me that no action can be given to this State down. If I try to use behaviors to accomplish the same thing, he told me that the behaviors are not supported. If I put actionscript in the layer actions of the scenario, there is no action required, i.e. by clicking the buttons doesn't lead anywhere I tried to move actionscript code before, between and after the setInterval and setMasker actionscript code that controls the interaction between the two film clips (which works perfectly). I tried to insert a layer actions in the button clip - same result - nothing. I tried to put the actionscript code in the second image on the layer actions (both in the main timeline and in the clip), all to nothing does not. I give each button an instance and used name in the actionscript code.
  
  Here is the actionscript code that I use for one of the buttons:
  book.onPress = function() {}
  book.getURL ("http. ("/ / www.bainbridge.wednet.edu");
  }
  
  I don't get an error message with this actionscript. I just don't get sent to the web page. I use Flash 8.
  
  What should I do? Is this a problem because the cursor is already attached to a share? I'm sure this must be possible, if only I knew more.
  
  Thanks for help.

  you have the real mc identified as (book), the root and the code I posted above? If so, are the code and the mc on the same frame? You should also note that the code shown above is intended to be placed on your time line for root, not directly on the mc identified as (book). one last thing: you need to properly target your mc (book).

  target like this:

  IF YOU ARE ON THE TIME LINE MAIN (_root):

  If (book) lies on the _root already then your target path is simply book.onRelease.
  If (book) lies inside an another movieclip on the _root, try to find out what movieclip (book)
  resides in. which will now be the first part of your target path.
  then to know if (book) lies in an another movieclip. If so, this will be the next part of the
  target your path.
  This continues until you reach (book). the entire path you took to reach (book) is your
  target path.
  You can also click the target icon in your actionscript pane to insert target a path for
  your movieclip.

  Here is an example in which (book) lies within another video clip (yourMovieClip) on your _root:

  yourMovieClip.book.onRelease = function () {}
  getURL (" http://www.cnn.com/");
  }

• 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.

  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;

• Movie Clip (with script) of nesting in button

  I'm pretty new to Flash, I have the basics but struggle when it comes to tasks more complex requiring a code etc. My problem seems simple in theory but in practice it's a different story; for me anyway.

  First stop, I create an online gallery. It is made against several thumbnail images of the art of the pieces which, when clicked, show the image in a larger format. I reached this goal in duplicating the chassis 12 times (how many images it is on the page) and linking each miniature to its corresponding image that runs through frames 1-12.

  I had this working perfectly, except for my animation of miniature mouseover who did very well when the mouse is in the affected area, but once outside the animation just broken back. This was done simply by nesting a movie clip symbol in the State over the button (that does not need any code).

  However, once I searched the internet for ways allow the animation to return to his State not active with an animation of back once the mouse is over the affected area, I hit a new problem entirely. Of course, this effect required some basic coding and was not pressing the button a on the State to activate the animation. This means that when I tried to embed the new animation in the zone reached the animation button was on the button, its ability to disable link area.

  I've tried everything I can think of, but I can't get the animation that will be triggered when the user hovers over the button and allow the button to link to its framework.

  I know this is a long post and thank you for reading. If you don't know what anyone that I said, please ask. I'll also give you a link to the tutorial I used as a base for my animation to be nested within the button. (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx20...ton_effect.htm)

  Thanks again.

  If 'frame2' is your label and not "frame2_Page 1", you must use:

  Stop();

  this.onEnterFrame = function() {}

  if(Rewind == true) {}

  prevFrame();

  }

  }

  this.onRollOver = function() {}

  return = false;

  Play();

  }

  this.onRollOut = function() {}

  Rewind = true;

  }

  blakeheaps.onRelease = function() {}

  _root.gotoAndPlay ("frame2");

  }

• Button inside a clip controlling the main timeline

  Hello-

  I have a clip on the main stage - inside that movie clip is a button - I want that button to contol a function on the main timeline.

  example: the Script button

  closeAll_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goCloseAll);

  function goCloseAll(e:MouseEvent):void {}

  
  * do not know what to put here to activate "closeAllOpenMovieClips" on the main stage *
  

  
  }

  example: main stadium Timeline Script

  function closeAllOpenMovieClips (): void {}
  trek_mc.gotoAndStop (1);
  lost_arts_mc.gotoAndStop (1);
  rain_mc.gotoAndStop (1);
  vintage_mc.gotoAndStop (1);
  }

  
  

  do not know if I need a script more on chronology of main stadium that comes "from function."

  Thank you - Ben L

  If the button is in part 2, then the event listener so that it must be well on frame 2... or you could make the button visible/invisible betrween frames 1 and 2).

  But if you want to head back to your original approach...

  closeAll_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goCloseAll);

  function goCloseAll(e:MouseEvent):void {}

  MovieClip (root) .closeAllOpenMovieClips ();

  }

  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.

• AS3 MOVIE CLIP HELP BUTTON!

  Hello

  I am a beginner and need help.

  I have several movie clip buttons and everytime my mouse over and out they run perfectly, no problem... but now I want these buttons of movieclip to an image when you click on it, and for that, I don't know what to do!

  Here is the code I have so far for the movie clip buttons

  I would appreciate your help, thank you!

  btn_mc.buttonMode = true;
  btn2_mc.buttonMode = true;
  btn3_mc.buttonMode = true;
  btn4_mc.buttonMode = true;
  btn5_mc.buttonMode = true;
  btn_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onButtonOver);
  btn_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onButtonOut);
  btn2_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onButtonOver);
  btn2_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onButtonOut);
  btn3_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onButtonOver);
  btn3_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onButtonOut);
  btn4_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onButtonOver);
  btn4_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onButtonOut);
  btn5_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onButtonOver);
  btn5_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onButtonOut);

  function onButtonOver(e:MouseEvent):void
  {
  e.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay ("over");
  }

  function onButtonOut(e:MouseEvent):void
  {
  e.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay ("out");
  }

  The function below will work so that a button is, then you need to create separate functions for each button that is clicked, or use a switch statement in a function to take an action based on which button has been clicked using the event.currentTArget to determine which.

  btn_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, onButtonClick);

  function onButtonClick(e:MouseEvent):void
  {
  gotoAndStop (2);

  }

• affected by actions movie clip button behavior

  Hello

  I have a movie clip button that I created to provide me with the color interpolation. A label for the upstate, 'more' for the more 'up' State (color interpolation), and then a label of 'out' where I have the interpolation of color back to normal. This set works very well unless I place an action on this button in the timeline panel, for example-

  myBtn_mc.onRelease = function() {}
  loadMovieNum ("swf/movie.swf", 99);
  }

  Can you please explain why this behavior on my movie clip button will not work if an action such as this is placed on it? (not just the high State of tween color)

  Thanks in advance

  Wait a minute.  code assigned to a parent movieclip mouse Manager with intercept all mouse events (what you plan for children).

  to remedy this, code all managers of mouse in the same generation.  That is to say, assign and more frames on the timeline of _root.bio_mc.  then use:

  _root.bio_mc.onRollOver = function() {}
  this.gotoAndPlay ("over");
  }

  _root.bio_mc.onRelease = function() {}
  loadMovieNum ("swf/movie.swf", 99);
  this.gotoAndPlay ("out");
     
  }

  _root.bio_mc.onRollOut = function() {}
  this.gotoAndPlay ("out");
  }
