• Trying to create a button inside a clip that will return to scene 1

  I am trying to create a button inside a clip that will go back to scene 1.

  Here is my code

• 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.

• 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.

• Buttons in video Clips

  I am currently working with a menu and submenu buttons in the video clips - the script on the buttons in the clip is
  
  on (release) {}
  gotoAndPlay ("scenename", "#labelname");
  }
  
  When the button is tested by itself, the code works, but when the button is placed in the clip that it doesn't work anymore - is there a way to make the buttons work to in the clip?
  
  -Bill
  

  Yes, to return to a level, you can use this...

  on (release) {}
  _parent.gotoAndPlay ("BlahBlahBlah")
  }

  _parent. you will do as many levels as you want to go and _root. you will need to return to the main timeline.

• How do reactivate you a button inside a Clip (which was disabled)?

  I am tempted to call a clip and when that film is called the other buttons on the frame are disabled. I got the correct part.

  However, the problem starts when I close the clip. the buttons I disabled are not enabled (see the reActivateButtonsfunction). I didn't do something correctly. There is code in two places, on the chassis and on the frame in the clip which is called. Please see the code.

  CODE ON THE TIMELINE OF THE HAND

  Stop();

  
  

  pop up screens

  CreditPop.stop ();

  Active keys from the popup screens when the movieclip is closed. ;

  stage.addEventListener ("ReActivateMainButtons", reActivateButtons);

  function reActivateButtons(e:Event):void

  {

  Credits_bnt.mouseEnabled = true;

  goLongA_bnt.mouseEnabled = true;

  goLongE_bnt.mouseEnabled = true;

  goLongI_bnt.mouseEnabled = true;

  goLongO_bnt.mouseEnabled = true;

  goLongU_bnt.mouseEnabled = true;

  }

  Name the clip and disables the buttons.

  stage.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, touchGo);

  function touchGo(event:MouseEvent):void

  {

  If (event.target is Credits_bnt)

  {

• 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.

• 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 ();

  }

• To access the Intences inside video Clips

  I want to create a menu that is an mc on the main stage, not inside anything. "The menu itself has element inside, so something like this mainStage" navMenu "navMenuClose. I want the script of action on the main stage, but it does not recognize the navMenuClose button. I want the ActionScript on the main stage, because I also want the menu hide after each function, just for browsing. (The end is incase you change your mind) If I have the script inside the navMenu it does not recognize the menu, so I can't hide it from there. I hope that's clear, and I appreciate all help.

  If this code is on the timeline that holds navMenu, then you must include it in the path to target the navMenuClose...

  navMenu.navMenuClose.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, closeNavMenu);

  And do not use Event: MouseEvent in the argument of the function... 'Event' itself is a class name.  Use lowercase letters for variables... event: MouseEvent, or evt:MouseEvent

• Variables inside video clips? in Flash CS4 (AS3)

  Hello world

  I was wondering if it is possible to use variables such as Int stored inside or with a clip?

  Thank you!

  Yes, you can store them inside manually when you create the movieclip or you can assign a variable to a movieclip during execution without having previously created the variable.

  myMovieclip.newVariable = value;

• 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

• 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.

• 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.

  I downloaded some FLA files to my server. I keep them
