• 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");

• a movie clip button can not detect its code AS

  On my root timeline code below making reference to a movie clip button, which can not be detected when I place my mouse over it. He was given an instance name. I don't know why it works. I've done other buttons in the same way and they work. It only works when I put my code in the timeline of binary_mc, which I don't want to do what I want to keep all my centralized code.
  
  Any ideas?

  It seems to me that your BACK button doing eaxctly what you tell it to. You should try to follow logically what you ask.

  For your next button, you have a "_root." stuck in itself that is a typo and should be deleted. Your next button is also exactly what you ask him. He actually goes to the _binaryToDenaryPage of tag part two where he runs the script on chassis # 469, that is which then sends you back to the main menu.

  It would be useful to you if you could debug your slightly better FLA and try ways of his actions. For example, try to comment on all the ACEs on chassis 469 with the exception of the stop();

  You assume that your button script does not work because they do not seem to do what you ask them, but it is only appearance. If you are looking for the needle in a haystack badly.

  I also noticed that in 469, you reference several image tags that do not exist as _B2D3 and _B2D2. I tried to change those for labels, I think that you mean and now my Flash crashes whenever I try to test your movie so I gave up.

• Movie Clip buttons

  Hello.
  
  I have a problem with a movie clip button. I don't understand where I went wrong, so some advice would be nice, if you have time, please!
  
  Here's what I have:
  
  I scene 1, with some layers and a few tweens, etc.. On the last picture, I placed a stop(); on a layer order actions. In this context, I have three clips of movie I want to be buttons. Thus, for example, one of them is titled buttom_music.
  
  Inside the buttom_music , I have three keyframes, one is named (via a layer of labels) _up, two is called anime_survol, and three _down.
  
  On the first picture of button_music, I also have a stop(); order placed on a layer actions.
  
  Now, at this point, that you'd never guess not, Flash still does not know button_music must be treated as a button, because he has not applied to actions.
  
  The last picture where my clips are, on the layer actions on the main timeline (scene 1), I placed the following code:
  
  This.button_music.onRollOver = function() {}
  button_music.gotoAndStop ("_over");
  }
  
  Above, is already placed code stop(); just tell him to not return to frame 1.
  
  As far as I know, Flash must now deal with these clips as buttons, but when I saw everything, the movie clips do not appear to do that. No hand cursor appears or anything.
  
  Does anyone know where I am going wrong? Am I missing something?
  
  Thank you
  TMT2.

  It turns out that I was doing nothing wrong at all.

  I thought that I would try to re - create the new buttons just to see if it worked, and curiously, he did! The crazy thing is, I've recreated the exactly the same, using the same code, etc.

  Must be a bug in Flash 8?

  Thanks anyway,
  TMT2.

• 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)}

• How to create a custom control for a button where the look apply to everyone else but not the Boolean text?

  Hi all

  I would like to create a button custom as a master, so that if I change the look of the master all other buttons are changed.

  I did it with a custom control, such as a 'type strict def' otherwise the look will change , BUT if I do this as a strict type def I can't change the Boolean text more which should be different on each button.

  How to create a master control of a button where the look apply to everyone else but not the Boolean text?

  Steve Chandler wrote:

  I don't think that you can do. I just looked and as I suspected the Boolean property text is read only for strict typedefs, you cannot use the nodes property to change the text.

  As a just solution make it a typedef. When you want to change the open look the typedef and strict rendering, make your changes, then make no strict again. You will need to update the text Boolean yet once for all instances. Kind of pain. This is perhaps something for the exchange of ideas.

  Alternatively, remove Boolean text and replace with legend

• in actionscript 3.0 how do a nested movie clip button go to a section on the main timeline

  I've added an event listener for the button of blog, saying:

  blog.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, gotoblog);

  function gotoblog(evtobj:MouseEvent) {}

  gotoAndStop (2)

  }

  This part of the code it goes to 2nd part of the scenario that it is and stop wich is a version of the origanal symbol breath

  I added a second order on structure 2

  blog.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK.gotoblogpage);

  function gotoblogpage(evtobj:MouseEvent) {}

  gotoAndStop ("blogframe")

  trace ("the blog button has been clicked")

  }

  I have named the blog of symbol and use the name from where will the blog page to be "blogframe" this line of code at the bottom is where I run trouble the window output in Flash says "blog button has been clicked" I like it. no errors are accouring why that which is at the playhead does not attend the image "blogframe"? If the button does not work when I click on it the code is correct, I think the problem here is he does not want the read head go to the section I want it. So I gues, my question is, how can we make a button less, a clip interact with the main timeline?

  One way to do this is to target the root timeline...

  MovieClip (root) .gotoAndStop ("blogframe");

• Button control Movie Clip

  I have a button on the script main control an animation that reside in a clip. I have a mask in the clip that opens and displays an image when the button is in the rollover State. I want the mask to close on the deployment status. If I do a Tween with her opening and closing an interpolation with her, when the rollsOut user of the button prematurely, he climbs to the last part of the open animation. I want it to be fluid. I don't know how to do that with actionscript, and I want my code to be on the main timeline. Here is an example of the code:

• First Pro CC partially lock up during the movement of 2 + clips minutes in the timeline.

  I just started to first Pro CC a few days ago, and so far he has been INCREDIBLE!

  When I try to move a clip 2 + minute from source in the timeline window, the program stops working, but it's not really "freeze" or lock up.

  My mouse moves but I can't click on anything. I can still play/pause with the space bar. Shortcut keys all them always seem to work.

  Sometimes it happens when I have a normal arrow cursor, and sometimes I hand "enter."

  When I go to the Task Manager, Premier Pro is still 'in progress' (vs "not responding")

  I'm running Windows 7 (Home Premium), 64-bit, Intel Core i3-4130 and 16 GB of RAM.

  I currently store my video files on an external hard drive, which is a WD Passport Ultra. I see now that this player may not have the speed needed to run Adobe first Pro CC could be my problem?

  Thanks for any help!

  If the 'Ultra' running at 5400 RPM, it's too slow. You must at least 7200 rpm or SSD

• play movie clip symbol at the end of the animation, but does not appear in the timeline

  Work in Adobe Flash CS5

  When I play my movie in the Flash file, the animation stops at the end of the timeline, as it should. But when I test the movie, or export it to any film format, it will play an instance of a movie clip symbol that I used in the animation. There is no extra frame in the timeline panel beyond which must be considered to be the last image. Y at - it a setting or something I forgot that could cause this instance of the symbol to play at the end of the animation, without air in the main timeline? This can be corrected?

  your movieclip (or a parent) who plays on the main timeline or is loaded by your swf.  If you load this movieclip (published as a swf file), you can be sure that your movieclip (or a parent) is the culprit.

  Use the movie Explorer to find all instances of your movieclip using the library for this movieclip name.  If that does not reveal the culprit, you have either made a mistake in your search or if you have a movieclip in doubles.

• Sound in a movie clip malfunctions when the playhead is moved backward

  Summary of the problem:

  A his (flow) placed inside a clip that is in another video clip begins to play continuously when I use control of the game to jump on the main timeline.

  Details:

  I am using Flash CS3, but the same problem occurs with CS6. I have spent quite a bit of time to research/search for the number but has not found a solution. To illustrate the problem, I reduced the flash animation to a very simple structure.

  A the main timeline:

  • The first image has a clip (Game MC) and a stop action.
  • Following the first image, there are several frameworks, for the most part empty except for the text.
  • The last image has a stop action.
    

  On the timeline of the Game MC :

  • There is that one frame. In this image, there is a clip (Map MC) and the stop action.

  On the chronology of the MC card :

  • It starts with 3 images of virgins and a stop action.
  • Starting with 4 frame, a his (.wav format) is placed and is set to be 'stream '.
  • At the end of this period, there is a stop action.

  Flash CS3, I press Ctrl + Enter to test the movie. The film stops on frame 1 of the main timeline with the card not showing, no sound, as expected. Now, I use "." to move the head piece forward one frame at a time. No problem. I see the images after the first image. Still no sound, as expected. So far so good.

  The problem starts when I use ',' to move the playhead to the rear, the sound in the MC card begins to play, no matter where the head piece is, even when the game MC (of there the map MC) is not on the scene. Worse, each press of the ',' will trigger another start of the overlay sound even with the previous. And the sound would continue looping until I close the SWF.

  However, the problem will occur if I place the MC card directly on the main timeline. It only happens when it is inside another video clip (game MC).

  I need to solve this problem, because the full version of the game of flash cards must be placed in a HTML page with a javascript based, playback control that allows the Viewer to jump around the chronology of swf.

  The fla file is: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_5mgotjr4l5RDZaOGxFeFFWN1U/edit?pli=1

  I'm doing something wrong? Is this a bug in Flash? Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

  Keith

  It is a bug in flash.

  to remedy this, use the sound class to play your sound:

  var s:Sound1 = new Sound1();  where Sound1 is classname you assign to your sound.

  s.Play ();

• 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.

• Targeting movie clip button in a movie clip

  Hello

  I just can't work this. It should be simple

  I'm trying to target a clip in a clip.

  I have a clip on the main stage with an instance of a name

  I have the following on her action script

  on (release) {_root.a.gotoAndStop (2);}

  }

  So on frame 2 a I that a button (instance name b) which has also two frames and a stop on image 1 action.
  All I want to do is click on the button and make it go in box 2. It should work, but it is not
  Here's the ActionScript button (b)
  (press) {_root.a.b.gotoAndPlay (2);}

  }

  Any ideas?

  The first thing we do is to get the code on objects and place it in the timeline panel.  In the timeline root for one button you would use...

  a.onRelease = function() {}

  a.gotoAndStop (2);

  }

  Similarly, in structure 2 inside one, where is the other button b...

  b.onRelease = function() {}

  b.gotoAndPlay (2);

  }
