Buttons in video Clips

• Buttons and video Clips (in and out)

  I'm working on my own website for my graphic design work and I use flash for the introductory movie, you can either ignore or after a time, will send you directly to the home page.

  On this introduction movie (which animatedface_mc sick call) I put two other clips with flashing eyes (left and right). The eyes would be constantly flashing, this page is in progress. That we work.

  On the side are buttons of the names of celebrities and once clicked on adding video clips to the main animatedface_mc. For example if I clicked on the monroe_mc, it adds this famous Marilyn Monroe mole (using the mask or opacity, depending on the function of the face) on the animatedface_mc. If I clicked on tyson_mc, he adds his face tattoo. I used the following code to it:

  monroe_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, monroeshow);
  function monroeshow (event: MouseEvent) {}
  monroe_mc. Play();
  }

  tyson_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, tysonshow);
  function tysonshow (event: MouseEvent) {}
  tyson_mc. Play();
  }

  There are at least 10 other buttons on this page, but I just realized that some of the features of the face are running too and so seems not good. I was wondering if there was a way that when you click a button, it turns off the video clips which are already turned on, so maybe that tyson_mc and chaplin_mc were already, and I clicked on monroe_btn, monroe_mc shows to the top and tyson / video clips chaplin may be disabled. Tyson and chaplin buttons would still be clickable, it's just that their film clips, if already, could be put off.

  I tried the following, but it doesn't seem to work: tyson_mc.enabled = false;

  Thanks in advance for the help.

  You need not have a frame on the main timeline 2 If you have any framework 1 now.  You can use tyson_mc.visible = true;  When it is click on the button of tyson as if it was previously invisible, it becomes visible again.

  That would be the basic series of commands by clicking a button that is capable of producing...

  function resetMCs() {/ / shared by all buttons}

  monroe_mc.gotoAndStop (1);    or monroe_mc.visible = false;

  tyson_mc.gotoAndStop (1);       or tyson_mc.visible = false;

  }

  monroe_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, monroeshow);
  function monroeshow (event: MouseEvent) {}

  resetMCs();

  monroe_mc. Visible = true;

  monroe_mc. Play();    See the comments below
  }

  tyson_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, tysonshow);
  function tysonshow (event: MouseEvent) {}

  resetMCs();

  tyson_mc. Visible = true;
  tyson_mc. Play();       See the comments below

  }

  If mole and tatoo movies don't really animate at all and tell them to play fair, then you could end up with several images for them and only control their visibility instead of telling them to play.

• Need help... buttons & amp; video clips

  On stage 1, I have a movie clip symbol. Inside the movie clip symbol are the button symbols that are being animated. Basically, I want these buttons allow to fly on the screen and the user and then click one of these buttons to go to an image within the current scene label (btw, there is only 1 scene and it is called stage 1). The buttons are created and the animation of their flight on the screen works beautifully; However, they do not attend any image labels.
  
  In my button symbols, I have my different States.
  In my video, I placed the button symbols, created animations, and in the last frame on each button, I have a goto action script and read the label for specific image.
  In my scene, I placed the clip.
  
  What I am doing wrong?

  Richie - you totally rock! Thank you very much!

  Just in case anyone has the same problem, I've done here is the answer that Richie gave me...

  I think that something is wrong with the call of the film of root with the image tags. I coded buttons on the main reach timeline directly it worked fine. For example... If you put this

  on (release) {}
  _root.gotoAndStop (13).
  }

  on the 2 button on the project, it works fine. The code just the buttons with the frame number and you should be home free. I hope this helps.

  THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN RICHIE!

• buttons inside video clips

  I created a button and placed within a clip.  I added the script (as2) the button below however when I test the movie, the button does not work.

  on (release) {}
  tellTarget (_root) {}
  Stop ("226");
  }
  }

  The button is located in clip "page1".

  Page 1 is on frame 120

  I don't know that I have not included.

  Tracey

  You may be having a problem because tellTArget is supposed to get a string argument, and maybe because you are citing the frame number which must be given not (unless it's an image tag).  Since you are using AS2, try using...

  on (release) {}
  _root.gotoAndStop (226);
  }

• Buttons and video clips

  I have a number of buttons in a single clip. If I type this code in the movieclip, where there are the buttons it should work?
  
  Pic2.onRelease = function() {}
  photo_mc.loadPhoto (image [2]);
  picture_num();
  }
  
  He has not worked for me, don't know if the clip is preventing to be clickable, but the roller on the effect of the buttons works.

  first of all, I would place the code in frame 1 of your document and from there is much easiert to target any nested object, for example. I have a movieclip with 5 buttons, movieclip is called "myMC" and buttons are called "myBut1" at 5. I have them would target the root of this way.

  myMC.myBut1.onRelease = function...
  myMC.myBut2.onRelease = function...

  I don't think there should be a problem with the buttons inside movieclips, but I normally always use movieclips as buttons and not the native flash button object.

• Video clips play in reverse in AS 3.0

  Hey all. I change all my files in AS 3.0 because of a few new elements, I would like to use in flash CS4.
  Here: http://www.iaw-atlanta.com/IvyLeague1-13-09.html I have the bottom navigation menu with 4 buttons. When the buttons are speckled on they go up and when they are mottled the film plays in reverse so they go down. Essentially in the clip, I stopped him, and the next frame gotoAndStop when the button is wriggle on and then have a script of saying things reverse when wriggle on. I know how to do this in AS 2.0, but how can I translate the script to 3.0?

  DjPhantasy5,

  > Ok thanks, I'll see what he also has to say as well.

  In fact, NedWebs pretty much nailed. :) The approach you have taken
  is an interesting question, because it evolves all the way back to Flash Player 5.
  has not yet supported the MovieClip.onEnterFrame event. Without
  event, you need something like your "controller" - a separate symbol
  a loop of timeline - to run the code that depends on the loops of the frame.

  Available from Flash Player 6, this event allows you to
  consolidate your code a bit by putting everything in a unique setting and avoiding
  the additional movie clip symbol. This does not mean that your approach is wrong, by
  any stretching. In fact, it's good to know your options, because if you always
  need to publish for Flash Player 5, you had probably better to use the installation program
  you took.

  I'll demonstrate onEnterFrame in just a bit, in case you want to take a
  Watch this.

  > There is no mention of _root in AS3, but you can use a
  > MovieClip (this.parent) (which replaces what _parent)
  (> used to do) to find something outside the immediate
  > movieclip.

  The term "parent" in this context, is technically a property of the
  The class MovieClip, which means all the clips in AS3 have access to the
  feature 'parent', which points to the timeline that contains the video
  in question. Buttons have also a property 'parent '. In AS2,
  property has done exactly the same thing, only it was preceded by an underscore.

  In fact, the proposed codification of the NedWebs works the same in your existin file.
  Instead:

  Your existing code...
  If {(_root.animation._currentframe>1)}
  _root. Animation.prevFrame ();
  this.gotoAndPlay (2)
  }

  If (_root.animation._currentframe<=1)>
  this.gotoAndStop (1);
  }

  ... you can use this:

  Alternative code...
  If {(_parent.animation._currentframe>1)}
  _parent. Animation.prevFrame ();
  gotoAndPlay (2)
  }

  If (_parent.animation._currentframe<=1)>
  gotoAndStop (1);
  }

  ... because this range - in other words, from this point of view - this
  MovieClip._parent property points to the same scenario as _root done.
  That changes, of course, based on how deeply nested the current scope are.
  The word 'this' in the code above is optional, because Flash understand
  What place you are in. From the point of view of the present code, _parent is
  interpreted as referring to chronology parent of the current, just as scope
  gotoAndPlay() is interpreted to the timeline of the current scope.
  You might precede either of those of 'this' or not.

  Many people will say that _root is probably best to avoid, only because
  It's a slippery slope. It does not always refer to the main timeline you
  think he does, according to whether or not your file SWF is loaded in another
  SWF when running. Meanwhile, _parent * always * refers to the immediately
  relative chronology.

  Then, when you look at this way, this perfectly valid AS2:

  If {(_parent.animation._currentframe>1)}

  ... is not very different at all from its counterpart of the AS3:

  If (MovieClip (parent).animation.currentFrame > 1) {}

  It would be nicer if you need convert the parent as a reference
  Movie clip here, but if you haven't, AS3 do not realize that the scope in
  This is a clip.

  > You can string them along like...
  > MovieClip (this.parent.parent)

  Exactly.

  Not quite. AS3 does not support on() or onClipEvent(), functions
  you will not be able to reach your management code for the button. Instead,.
  you will have to put in a keyframe - you can also do with AS2. There
  a good idea, anyway, because it allows to put all your code in a
  place, making it easier to find.

  Here's a quick word on the direct attachment:

  http://www.quip.net/blog/2006/Flash/museum-pieces-on-and-onClipEvent

  To convert your existing AS3 FLA structure, you could, for example.
  follow these steps:

  animation.buttonMode = true;
  animation.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, outHandler);
  animation.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, overHandler);

  function outHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {}
  controller.gotoAndPlay (2);
  };
  function overHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {}
  controller.gotoAndPlay (4);
  };

  That supports the code on (rollout) and executed in your current
  Version. The first line (buttonMode) is necessary because I got rid of
  the symbol button and, instead, handlers directly associated with
  your movie clip. (Video clips manage events of type button, too, if you)
  do not need the button.) In AS3, event handling is very simple:
  you are referencing the object (here, animation), invoke its hereditary
  addEventListener() method, then passes two parameters: a) the event to
  Listening and (b) the function to execute when the event occurs.

  You can see that noted above. In AS2, there are several ways
  to handle events, including one () /onClipEvent (), so it is harder to know when
  to use what approach. For the buttons and video clips, the principle works the
  same I just showed, but the syntax is different.

  Let's take a look to reduce all this code using the
  onEnterFrame event. First of all, check out this AS2 version:

  animation.onRollOut = outHandler;
  animation.onRollOver = overHandler;

  function outHandler (): Void {}
  this.onEnterFrame = reversePlay;
  };
  function overHandler (): Void {}
  this.onEnterFrame = null;
  This.Play ();
  };
  function reversePlay (): Void {}
  this.prevFrame ();
  };

  This code would appear in box 1. You don't need the controller
  video clip. The movie clip contains more an orb button, because
  We use the animation itself as the 'button '. (You can still see what)
  a feature that any object is looking toward the top of its class. If you are dealing
  with a clip, see the MovieClip class. See the position properties
  to find out what features of the object, see methods to know
  what the object can do and see events to find out what the object can respond
  (to).

  In the code above, it is prepared quite easily. It is AS2,
  don't forget. We have two events, we are listening to: MovieClip.onRollOut and
  MovieClip.onRollOver. these events are set up for the animated film
  clip using the name of the instance and associated to custom match
  functions. The outHandler() function associates a different function to the
  MovieClip.onEnterFrame event of the animation clip. Very simply, it
  load of animation to make the custom function reversePlay() whenever
  He meets an onEnterFrame event. The overHandler() function that kills the
  Association of suppression outside and saying animation to play, via the
  MovieClip.play () method. Finally, the reversePlay() function simply calls
  MovieClip.prevFrame () on the movie clip.

  Here's the AS3 version:

  animation.buttonMode = true;
  animation.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, outHandler);
  animation.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, overHandler);

  function outHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {}
  animation.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, reversePlay);
  };
  function overHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {}
  animation.removeEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, reversePlay);
  Animation.Play ();
  };
  function reversePlay(evt:Event):void {}
  evt.target.prevFrame ();
  };

  It seems wordier, but if you look closely, you will see that there
  essentially the same thing. The main difference is the scope of operation in
  AS3. In AS2, there are many references to "it", because the event
  Manager operating in the same scope as the object to which the
  Association is formed. In AS3, the references are not to "that", but rather to
  the same movie clip by his * name *, because in AS3, the scope
  works in the same scenario in which the code is displayed (IE, in this)
  case, the main timeline).

  In the function reversePlay(), in order to emulate a 'this' kind of
  the installer, I refer to the parameter that is passed to the event handler all the
  functions in AS3. I happened to name "TTE" (for the event), but you can call
  it what you like. In the case of reversePlay(), the evt parameter refers to
  an instance of the event class, which has a property to target. The target
  property refers to the object that sent the event - is be
  animation, in this case. Then evt.target, in this context, refers to
  animation, that's what I call the MovieClip.prevFrame () method on.

• Need help buttons toggle, nested set of video clips!

  Problem # 1

  I have a clip I want to trigger it with a toggle button, inside this clip I have various video clips in different layers that should play at the same time.

  The problem here is that when I press on enter and watch the clip on the stage, each layer plays but when I do the film do not play a few layers. How can I make all play?

  Problem # 2

  I did a toggle button on a clip, now I need to be able to do things more:

  1. the inactive button after which is clicked

  2 - Added feature to it so that it plays a nested video, how do I code? I have to add an event listener or a mouse event?

  3-make it stay flipped until another button is clicked:

  When a button is activated, it will remain pressed until another button is clicked then it releases automatically. (is it even possible?)

  Thank you!!!

  Problem #1

  If you have some movieclips in layers, order them to play

  Problem #2

  1. remove the event listener

  2. you must add code to say what a nested video should play

  3 keep the identity of the toggled button and have a function that resets using this variable

• How to make a reset button and add the action script to reset all my drag drop video clips

  It's HOT need help quickly by the close of business Thursday

  Hello kglad and all, I have a problem with adding a reset button for my drag and drop video clips.

  The problem is, if a student dragging a movie clip to a wrong address on the SWF, I want them to be able to hit a reset button that would lead the SWF even they opened and what would showup a page clear to restart drag them and drop exercise.

  I know how to make a button for this want just the appropriate action script to be able for the user to start over with no symbol of clip from movie on the page.

  You must either code to reset everything or you can reload your current page:

  loadMoveNum(this._url,0);

• Several video clips on stage and layers - play and pause all (via the buttons)

  I've been designing a Visual presentation in Flash CS5, there are a few video clips on the stage who are set to play a certain amount of time. The problem I have is that I'm not familiar with coding/actions. I want to have a play and a pause button to pause at any time (not a given) and speak with the public. Then, I want to be able to click on the play button to resume from there (wherever I stopped of). I hope get help and be able to learn from your responses. I don't know how clear my question is, but I can clarify if you need me for...

• Access to video clip inside a button with colorTransform problem

  I need help applying the color transform function to a clip that exists inside a button.  I want to keep the button a button (as opposed to making a clip as well with the onclick event handlers and stationary) I already have built-in behaviors and would rather not recreate.  I have the path to the object as:
  mcVideoControls.stopButColor.transform.colorTransform = stop_LightColorTransform;
  (stopButColor is the name of the object, I'm trying to change the color of the)
  It works fine but I need to make the color of other objects inside the button object and when I try to access the objects inside the key actionscript code does not seem to connect.  The button instance name is "btnStop", but it does not work:
  mcVideoControls.btnStop.stopButColor.transform.colorTransform = stop_LightColorTransform;
  either the fact:
  btnStop.stopButColor.transform.colorTransform = stop_LightColorTransform;

  Can someone tell me how to use colorTransform on video Clips inside the buttons.  Is there another way to indicate this path?  I use CS4 and actionscript 3.

  the attached screenshots show the relationship of how objects are incorporated.
  VideoControls_mc = mcVideoControls
  butBg = stopButColor
  Stop_btn = btnStop

  When stopButColor is moved within btnStop it is more accessible by colorTransform.  Could he be wrong about something else?

  

  

  There is no need to ever use a simple button.

• Buttons do not work in the case of video clips?

  Hello, I hope someone can help me here. I am trying to create a portfolio site and I'm running into some problems. I built my main site on the timeline and all my work of fine buttons AS is very simple:

  function goForward(event:MouseEvent):void

  {

  if(currentFrame == totalFrames)

  {

  gotoAndStop (1);

  }

  else

  {

  nextFrame();

  }

  }

  next_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, goForward);

  But when I do video clips of scenes with buttons in them (kids?) to try and simplify the site, BECAUSE does not recognize the instance name of the button in the Clip. I get an error message:

  1120: access of undefined property next_btn.

  I put an invisible button on the mc and gave it the instance name of next_btn and it works but I want to fix the buttons in the MC properly. I think it has something to do with my children, so I have them knocked all over the place, but it still does not work! (I'm kidding). What the hell are mousechildren?

  Is it better to condense a site in video clips and individual images or I would have just a chronology long steers that spans numerous frames?

  Thank you

  1009 error basically means that your code is something that he does not frame, is it.  Go to your publication of Flash settings and select the option to enable debugging.  When you run the file again, the error message should include a line number to indicate which line is causing the problem.  Your instance names seem to have changed between the first validation and the second, so make sure that you have things named to be agreed between the code and objects.

• Dynamically place video clip on the corner and the overall position with a mouse click (button) that is always running.

  Anyone know the code to find the global positioning of the coordinates X and Y of a click of a button which turns constantly,
  then the code when you click the button, it displays a clip on the top-(position de x et y lorsque vous cliquez dessus) to the angle that you clicked (so the buttons are always rotating so others can click on them where they are)

  to explain the context, I am designing a model to the top of an interactive round table
  When someone approaches her and click on one of the buttons that move, it reads where the person has clicked on it and open a new box (video clip) where they have clicked on it (on the corner) so is not backwards if you're upstairs.

  I have included my .fla file that shows the four navigation buttons and a small diagram

• Noob help: release of video Clips with buttons

  Hi guys,.

  I take an intro Flash and Action Script and for my last class, I need to create a portfolio that contains 5 unique buttons that trigger the 5 unique video clips. I have a hard time with this. I've been able to trigger the 1st clip with the first button (although I can't stop), but I can not trigger all the other films with any other button.

  Here is my code:

  Stop();
  chuck1_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, regarderMovie);

  function playMovie(event:MouseEvent):void

  {
  spaceship_mc. Play();
  }

  chuck2_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.Click, playSaucers);

  
  function playSaucers(event:MouseEvent):void
  {
  saucers_mc. Play();
  }

  Nothing happens when I click on chuck2_btn when I test the movie. I think I need to create a variable or a class, but I'm not sure. I am a super noob with this stuff. Any thoughts? Thank you!

  Rick

  You should learn how to use the help documentation to find answers as how to use the visible property.  For the code you have shown earlier, here is what you can try setting 1 to replace.

  Stop();

  spaceship_mc. Visible = false;

  saucers_mc. Visible = false;

  slideshow_mc. Visible = false;

  chuck1_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, regarderMovie);

  function playMovie(event:MouseEvent):void

  {

  spaceship_mc. Visible = true;

  saucers_mc. Visible = false;

  slideshow_mc. Visible = false;
  spaceship_mc. Play();
  }

  chuck2_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.Click, playSaucers);

  function playSaucers(event:MouseEvent):void
  {

  spaceship_mc. Visible = false;

  saucers_mc. Visible = true;

  slideshow_mc. Visible = false;
  saucers_mc. Play();
  }

  etc...

  It could be refined, as with a function that hides everything and use it every time before you do that you want to show visible.  You may find it necessary to include saying the films of gotoAndStop (1) as well.

  It's about as generous as I'll get.  It is important that you learn things, and give you a solution won't help to do so.

• Change in the depths of video clips with button click

  Hi all

  I have a file work on that has 4 different video clips on a layer which, when clicked, will zoom in (made with the Tween span in the timeline panel).

  The question I have, is that when I click on one of them, they are arranged in a way that does not work for what I need. I click on one and it works, but it is hidden by the clip that is above in the hierarchy. Click on another, zooms, but is partially hidden by another.

  My question is: is he still in AS2 to code these so that when it is clicked on, it will be the first place of the heriarchy? While I can encode all like that so that whenever a user clicks on, it goes to the top, so it is not hidden?

  Thank you

  You can also use a number.  for example:

  {mc.onRelease = function ()}

  this.swapDepths (this._parent.getNextHighestDepth ());

  }
