Editing of buttons in a Flash movie

Hello

I am changing a Flash animation that was created several years ago (probably around), using ActionScript 1. It's a library card which shows the subjects of the Library of Congress when you hover over the button batteries. Here is a link to show what I mean: http://lib.skidmore.edu/includes/files/SubjectMaps/subjectmap.swf

Click on the TABLET button to see the action I want to change.

What I would do is now, rather than just the score-over feature, I want to make each shelf button link to a search for the library of Congress in our catalog when you click it. However, when I try to change the buttons, they will not appear in the ActionScript window and I get the message "current selection cannot have actions applied to it." I read several forum and web of questions on this issue, but I'm not using ActionScript 3, and I can't figure out how to open the button and add code to it. Is this possible?

I would appreciate help! :-)

This isn't a question, but I will try to explain the right way to code a button.

Select the button on the stage, and then enter a name in the properties panel, where it is said ""... one word, no spaces inside. ' "  Let's say you name "btn" (without the quotes)

The button is now ready to have the code are entrusted to him.

In the timeline panel, create a layer that you will use for actionscript.  As part of this new layer, which is the same chassis as the button number, assign the code for the button by selecting the frame in the actionscript layer and by typing the following text in the Actions Panel...

btn.onRelease = function() {}

trace ("this button works");

}

Once you have that working, replace the trace with some feature that you want to code for the button.

To get rid of any code that may be attached to the button who was already there, select the button on the stage while the Panel action is open and you should see a code attached to the button.  Attach the code to the buttons is a bad habit to get rid of it and move it to the timeline in the calendar format.

  • My button is not displayed in my Flash movie when I test, why

    I made a Flash animation in Flash Professional Cs5.5, and I need to add a stop button to stop the movie to play. Unfportunately, after creating the button on its own layer in the stage, when I test the movie, the button does not appear aty all?

    I'm sure I did everything correctly here and I must add actionscript to the button, but it's not showing?

    Can someone Please tell me what I did wrong here and thanks in advance!

    Your button is present on the frame 71, so he will not appear before this frame.

    Drag the keyframe where your button is (frame 71) on the chassis of the 1st. Then, remove this motion tween who doesn't have utility not on your 'stop' layer: right-click anywhere in the purple box on the layer and select 'remove interpolation '. (I'm not sure words because I have a french version of Flash).

    You can also copy your button and paste it on a new layer, on the first image.

    In a Word, no. Flash allows you to control what can do the pages created in DW, but DW can't control a Flash movie. If you want to do this, you need to create a Flash animation that is separate for each link, then select from the links to the appropriate Flash animation.

  • How can I remove a Flash movie?

    I am a pro at graphics but a real beginner in film... I'm playing with a clip of 5 minutes and the thought that I wanted to add a Flash movie. I applied the film and saved the file (my first mistake). Now I find that I don't really like how instant film works and want to return just a plain, no show, nothing complicated, don't clip. I know that if I ask another movie, it will change the existing sequence, but how do I get rid of it all together without going back to raw images?

    Using elements 11 under Windows 7.

    Thank you bunches!

    Barb

    Well, if you have already registered your project and closed, you need to remove the whole Flash movie to your timeline and re - assemble your video footage from scratch.

    If you created a Flash movie, and you have not yet closed the program, you can, of course, simply click on the button cancel in the action bar.

  • which is to insert swf flash movie?

    Hello

    I animate flourish using adobe flash, then export it to swf to reuse in another flash movie

  • Problem external loading SWF in Flash Movie

    I am trying to load an external swf (which is a slide show) in a flash animation. The swf file in the film show and apparently plays ok but there is something wrong. On the last image(3rd) in the slide show keys stop responding and when I click on the "back" button on the second slide is going to the third slide, and not the first. When I check the SWF itself it works fine, it is only in the flash movie, where everything is blurred.

    Link to the Flash animation:

    http://www.dagif.com/habanaHarlem.swf

    This is the code that I put in the flash animation:

    holder_mc.loadMovie ("http://www.dagif.com/slideplayerHabana.swf" "");

    Link to external swf: http://www.dagif.com/slideplayerHabana.swf

    This is the code for the external swf file:

    Stop();
    next_btn.onRelease = function() {}
    If (_root._currentframe == 3) {}
    gotoAndStop (1);
    }
    else {}
    nextFrame();
    }
    }
    Stop();

    previous_btn.onRelease = function() {}
    If (_root._currentframe == 1) {}
    gotoAndStop (3);
    }
    else {}
    prevFrame();
    }

    }


    num1_btn.onRelease = function() {}
    gotoAndPlay (1);
    Stop();

    }
    num2_btn.onRelease = function() {}
    gotoAndPlay (2);
    Stop();

    }
    num3_btn.onRelease = function() {}
    gotoAndPlay (3);
    Stop();

    }

    The problem is most likely the use of _root in code that show you.  Like any swf, the _root will demonstrate to the _root of the main sequence and not the loaded swf file.  Try to use this ._lockroot = true; at the beginning of the code of the imported file, replace GOLD is _root references with _parent references.

  • Problem publishing Flash Movie

    I have an assignment for my college web design class in the flash section. We had to create these flash animations to teach basic skills. I finished the project very well, and it plays when I test in flash professional, and when I test the publication of it in HTML format. It does not work in any of my browsers once I publish it. My teacher is of course not answer my questions.

    Other flash movies work in my browser just not these. I am sure that the problem is publish because it works when I test it. I have Flash Professional CS 5.5 on my computer at home. I can't get a free trial of CS6 because two of my computers running Vista. Is the problem that I CS 5.5 and not 6?

    It is not sensible for me since I have done a few years ago a CS5.5 flash animation and it still plays to this day? I'm kinda in a panic because my assignment comes tonight and it will not publish, but it works when I test it! The computers at my University have CS6, but I can't get there in time, I was hoping to hear the Professor, but which is not the case unfortunately.

    I hope it's a small mistake I do and not the problem of it is is not the latest version of flash.

    Hi Chris,

    I have uninstall under Windows 7 , the latest version of flash player 11 in Firefox and Explorer and install version: 11-5-502-146 of the 01/08/2013. and my site is online. The problems are in the latest version of Adobe Flash Player!

    I did it on the Pc at home and a laptop with Windows 7... and both I have disabled in Google Chrome Adobe Flash. Google Chrome automatically installs the latest version of Flash Player and I have disabled this by plug-ins to make Google Chrome automatically takes the other version and it works.

    But I also have a laptop with windows 8. Firefox and Google Chrome with my site is now online with Windows 8, but Internet Explorer automatically installs the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. I also tried to install the version of the 01/08/2013, but I can't find where I can disable in Windows 8 (Internet Explorer). Can you tell me how to disable in Windows 8, the latest version of Adobe Flash Player? However, the problem was the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.

  • How to Center a flash movie in the browser window

    Can someone explain how to Center horizontally my Flash movie in the browser window after publication?

    A little history:

    I was able to do this by using < Center > < / center > tags a few years ago. But I've updated for CS5 and I understand that this old method is now obsolete.

    I found a few threads and forums dealing with this, but I don't know anything about HTML, these discussions don't me because they assume you have more knowledge than I have. When you open the index.html file in Dreamweaver I can't find something that looks vaguely familiar to what is discussed. I found some code examples using < div > < / div > tags but have no idea where to place them.

    So I need it explained to me in a way step by step, including the what file I have difficulty and what program I need to use. Code samples will be very welcome if you can tell me exactly where he's going.

    Thanks in advance...

  • Flash Movie guard reloading in DreamWeaver

    Hello

    I don't know if it will be a question for the Forum Flash or Dreamweaver forum.

    I have a flash movie that takes place in the header of my website when you first visit it. It is ok. But if you go to another page on the site and then return to the homepage animation works again (I guess because it is recharged as the page reloads). I don't like it and don't want it runs whenever someone comes back to the home page, except of course when they first visit the site.

    How to play only once, when you first visit the site?

    Thank you

    You can use the SharedObject class as a way to remember a user visited (mainly the Flash version of the cookies).  So you would air this cookie and if found you would jump some animation occurs.  Otherwise, you may have to all other pages back to a different version of the homepage... onr that has a non-animated version of the Flash content.

  • space under flash movies

    Hi all

    I have an annoying problem: when I use the swfobject code to integrate flash movies, it leaves a space under the film that breaks the design.  This occurs when you view it in Chrome or Firefox (on a mac), but not in Safari.  I've found that when I just paste in the code < object > single
    the space created when I publish the film off flash in my HTML document, disappears.  I tried to remove all the line breaks and extra spaces
    Since the swfobject code nothing will do.  This also happens when I add the film using Dreamweaver CS4 (insert-> media-> swf), which uses
    SWFObject.

    Here's an affected page, note the space under the header flash animation and the main movie under the net asset value: http://hamptonsdesignstudio.com/index2.html

    Here is the page with just the code of the object and the desired design: http://hamptonsdesignstudio.com/index.html

    I would like to be able to use swfobject to provide an alternative for content
    search engines, but not at the expense of breaking my design. Any
    suggestions?

    Thank you
    Colin

    Glad you figured it out.

  • Should a QuickTime or Flash Movie used a MIAW?

    I hope to import a quicktime or flash movie with an alpha channel, in the hope that the image of the scene is not obscured.  This means that a film can play in on the scene without be seen as a MIAW.  Is this possible?

    Thank you

    -david

    You won't get an alpha channel in a QuickTime movie, and if you disable the DTS and try to apply the ink, you will still be unsatisfied. I'm less sure of Flash movies, but they suspect it will depend on how they are imported/played. You certainly have a better chance with Flash.

    I'm not sure where your reference of the MIAW has a report, but assuming that's what you ask: Yes - a video can play on the stage, is not having to play in a MIAW.

  • Can you play faster flash movies?

    I have to go through some exercises for self-learning. Alas, the presenter speaks so slow that I struggle not to fall asleep between words. :-(

    Is there a way (or another player) which allows reading (for example, swf files) flash movies at greater than the original speed? I'm sure I could easily do in the face of less than 1.5 x or 2 x the original recording speed and always perfectly understand what is said and shown.

    Such a function would allow me to save a huge amount of time and learning effect would be certainly higher than with the current configuration.

    Any suspicion or pointer welcome!

    Michael

    Try http://www.enounce.com for flash files. You can speed up and slow down playback speed. They have a free trial of 7 days and the price is less than $30.

    You can also adjust the playback speed in windows media player for avi files. Select one) "Now Playing" in the top toolbar, b) "improvements", c) "play speed settings.

    Hope this helps

    See you soon
