• How to make buttons that animate on mouse to return to the original state * gently * mouse off?

  The title pretty much sums up what I'm doing: I have not started digging using the script in Flash but, being very well a beginner.

  I created a simple file using video clips nested in the buttons then that when I mouseover a letter, she bobs up and down, but I can't work on how to make it back to its origin 'up' State * gently * when the mouse is moved away.

  Any suggestions?  If it must involve the script know that I am a total noob!

  Here is a tutorial of mine that illustrates the benefits and disadvantages of the different techniques of creation of button:

• How to make buttons not working set MovieClip in flash?

  I'm doing an index page with buttons for a photography website.  the entire page is built in flash to date.  My question is that I created a drop down menu which is a Movieclip with 5 buttons.  I can't assign an external web page to each buttons located under the film clip menu drop-down.   Is this possible?   The clip is managed by hover your mouse over the 'studio Gallery' button in word.  It descends from the 5 gallerbuttons (Portrait, children, weddings, babies, artistic, etc...).  In Flash 8 Pro I know I can assign a child named external web page on the homepage, but how can I assign these to buttons in the drop down when the movieclip is done.  That's where I need to use folders with additional layers in the file to make it work?

  In case you can't tell I'm new on this and have taught my self with 'Training from the Source' and also 'Visual Quickstart Guide' so go easy on me - 8)

  What you need to do, it's Google search using «Tutorial dropdown AS2»  Who should produce some results that you can use to guide you through the process.

  I can't clearly tell from your description, up to now, but it looks like your movieclip contains buttons and a bearing is assigned to it.  This rollover crashes interacting with the buttons.  So your best bet is to get your hands on a tutorial that will guide you through the process so that you can make your buttons work as you wish.

• How to make a graphic inside a while loop to maintain the previous values

  At first I tried to use a the VI Express XY graphics to create a track of points.  However, the chart is a trace linear between the first point in the new line and the last point of the previous line.  It then creates the new line as you wish.

  I tried to use a loop with group a cluster for the chart, but the chart resets the plot at each iteration (as expected) and I can't find a way to maintain the previous data.  I tried using shift registers, but was unable to find a way to do it, and I tried also the cluster of a painting company, but can not find a way to make the cluster to a 1 d of a cluster of 2 elements array.

  One option is to have is to find a way to maintain the previous data, but the preferred option is to create a new path to each iteration to see the color change for each new parcel.

  I take stabbed it because I don't know exactly what you want. But I think that's what I've shown here. You must use a shift on your outside register while loop, as I showed. Your image where you tried to use a shift register shows a misunderstanding of the shift registers and how well they work, then I'd take a peek at these tutorials.

  

• How do I get a field of dynamic text inside a movieclip

  It's the stuff probably easy for most of you guys tried to have this work for the last hour, and it does not work.

  Basically, I made my own button which is a movieclip. Inside the movieclip on the normal/roll off the coast of the State, I put an instance name Dynamics «textbtn» textfieldwith

  my button is supposed to expand on 2 images on my mainstage, thought is to say something different in each picture.

  Insofar as I have this inside the movieclip on frame 1:

  textbtn. Text = MovieClip (parent) .buttonText;

  I have my mainstage in frame1:

  back_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, buttonRollOver);

  back_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, buttonRollOut);

  back_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);

  function buttonRollOut(event:MouseEvent):void {}

  back_btn.gotoAndStop ("OFF");

  }

  function buttonRollOver(event:MouseEvent):void {}

  back_btn.gotoAndStop ("Over");

  }

  function buttonClick(event:MouseEvent):void {}

  back_btn.gotoAndStop ("Click");

  gotoAndStop ("frontpage2");

  }

  buttonText = "this is frame1 '; var

  I have my mainstage in frame2:

  buttonText = "this is frame2."

  
  

  I think that you are unnecessarily complex things.

  A good practice is not not to litter the timeline inside movieclips with code. When you want to go find a code to fix something, you may need to browse movieclips several levels deep to get the code in a frame. Soon, it become unweildly.

  If you want to use the chronology, I record the event listeners and also to set the text for the button of the timeline root. I also don't use "image tags" because they are very archaic, although can be used.

  To make your buttons I make a movieclip (affecting flash.display.Sprite for optimization of the base class of the clamp) and includes 3 layers. bottom of layer 1, layer 2 roll, layer text 3. I don't see any State 'on' mentioned in your code, so I left out that. Roll or "selected" and "textfield" layers should have instance names so that you can access. For example I would appoint the State selected for selected_mc and TextField in text_txt graph.

  If your button has been appointed as you say back_btn then the code would look like this, remembering that the event passes a target property:

  back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, buttonRollOver);back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, buttonRollOut);back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);Sprite(back_btn.getChildByName('selected_mc')).visible = false; // make sure the initial selected state is invisible
  
   function buttonRollOut(event:MouseEvent):void{    Sprite(Sprite(event.currentTarget).getChildByName('selected_mc')).visible = false;     TextField(Sprite(event.currentTarget).getChildByName('text_txt')).text = 'roll off'; // change to the roll off text}
  
  function buttonRollOver(event:MouseEvent):void{    Sprite(Sprite(event.currentTarget).getChildByName('selected_mc')).visible = true;     TextField(Sprite(event.currentTarget).getChildByName('text_txt')).text = 'roll on'; // change to the roll on text}
  
  function buttonClick(event:MouseEvent):void{    Sprite(Sprite(event.currentTarget).getChildByName('selected_mc')).visible = true;     TextField(Sprite(event.currentTarget).getChildByName('text_txt')).text = 'selected text'; // change to the selected text   gotoAndStop("frontpage2");  }
  
  TextField(back_btn.getChildByName('text_txt')).text = 'start text'; // change to the starting text of the button
  

  The display list returns DisplayObjectContainer and DisplayObject must always conclude with the 'type' they want to access it properly. That's why I Sprite() and TextField() wrapped around specific things. This gives you access to their settings.

• Button in a movie clip that will command the scene?

  Salvation;

  Type of document html5 Canvas.

  What could be the code for a button (bt1_btn as instance name) which is in a clip (anim_mc as instance name), when the event on the button's "click" and that the statement is: take the play (a scene that already stopped)?

  Cause when I got the script code in the level of the scene that it works fine:

  This.Stop ();

  This.anim_mc.bt1_btn.addEventListener ("click", letsGo.bind (this));

  function letsGo() {}

  This.Play ();

  }

  But what I want is to write the code in the anim_mc clip:

  This.bt1_btn.addEventListener ("click", letsGo.bind (this));

  function letsGo() {}

  //what is the correct script here? > > > Stage.Play ();

  }

  THX

  You don't play the scene. The scene is just a container for the whole object. What you want is to play the root (or hand) timeline.

  To play the root timeline (or any scenario really) anywhere, without having to worry about the use of references, parent.parent.parent etc, store a global reference to the timeilne. On the first image of the timeline root, put something like:

  thisIsTheRootTimeline = this;

  Then in the event handler, follow these steps:

  thisIsTheRootTimeline.play ();

• 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.

• AddListener for a button inside a movieclip in the library?

  Could someone point me in the right direction on how to add a listener for a button inside a movieclip in the library?
  
  Example:
  Root-> work_mc-> workss_mc (added with Addchild) (timeline)
  
  There are workss_mc in the library which is charged when someone clicks on a button inside work_mc. This is achieved with addChild. In workss_mc there is a close button to close it. I encountered problems with the work of navigation with this b/c I have to declare and create a single instance of workss_mc within a scope where it is visible to both managers of click, this will place the two managers in one place. So to do this I would need them all be designating the code of navigation, the root.
  
  So, how can I access the root workss_mc?

  It is good news.

  Now, what happens if you just after on the main timeline - none other than the trace:

  function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent) {}

  workss_mc = new mc_workss();

  workss_mc.addEventListener ("closeButtonClick", onCloseClick);

  workss_mc.x = 225;

  workss_mc.y = 200;

  addChild (workss_mc);

  removeChild (work_mc);

  }

  function onCloseClick(e:Event):void {}

  trace ("clicked")

  }

• AS3 button inside a movieclip

  I only started to learn AS3, I have a very simple question, but I can't understand it.

  I have a movieclip with instance name mcChange, and it has a button inside btnBack. When the button is clicked, I want to debut at the first image on the main stage.

  I would appreciate if you could help me with this one.

  where is the code?

  Chronology of mcChange when the button exists in case:

  btnBack.addEventList...

  If during the kinship of mcChange chronology after mcChange and btnBack exist:

  mcChange.btnBack.addEventList...

  the code that must be in the listener function depends on where the code is located and where the main stage is relative to the location of the code, if someone is bound to suggest any MovieClip (root) to the main timeline, which is always bad coding but will often work of reference.

• Problem using a button inside a movieclip and make change a button what it does based diffferent.

  First question is that I can't get any coding inside my movieclip to affect the main storyline.

  Go as simple as possible, I reduced to

  "

  parent.nextFrame ();

  "

  I thought less coding means less room for mistakes, but there is nothing at all.

  Next issue is my button ignore my IF statement.

  "

  If (this ._currentframe! = 4 | 10 | 16 | 22: 28: 34 | 40 | 46 | 52 | 58 | 64 | 70) {}

  prevFrame();

  } else {}

  gotoAndStop (3);

  }

  "

  This button makes prevFrame no matter what chassis it is on.

  I have read the tutorials and maintained using code people offered as solutions, but nothing did. Quick response appreciated, I have a deadline for this. Thank you

  You may NOT use any encoding in this movieclip as the goto, play() and stop().

  but, if you CAN use a coding in this movieclip to control the parent movieclip. for example,.

  _parent.nextFrame ();

  and that the code of the button must be:

  If (this ._currentframe! = 4 |) This ._currentframe! = 10 | This ._currentframe! = 16 | This ._currentframe! = 22 | This ._currentframe! = 28 | This ._currentframe! = 34 | This ._currentframe! = 40 | This ._currentframe! = 46 | This ._currentframe! = 52 | This ._currentframe! = 58 | This ._currentframe! = 64 | This ._currentframe! = 70) {}

  prevFrame();

  } else {}

  gotoAndStop (3);

• How to activate a button in Captivate 5 - at the end of the bearings?

  Hello - I am working on a project with Cap 5 that involves an image with of 4 sidelet reversal.

  I have 2 buttons that control the navigation that are labeled (previous and next).

  The first tip action triggers on enter.

  It is a standard action that disables my next button and hides all my text captions that will be displayed when a user rolls over the image to see a hotspot region.

  What I want to do.

  I need to add a number to a variable so that once that the user hovers over all 4 sidelets... in any combination/order they want, they then unlock the next button.

  I have the following job

  Sidelets turning points are defined for each zone to show each sample of appropriate below text caption.

  See the Text_Caption_1 / / will display the text on a rolling caption.

  Expression Slice_count = Slice_Count + 1 / / I'm not sure if this is the right way to increment my Slice_count VAR or not?

  I know not how to assess when the Slice_Count VAR reached a literal = 4, an increment to each each sidelet turnover, with only 4, at some point, once they are all renewed I should have something to evaluate?

  Examples of how rate and add increments of objects with the intent to activate a button?

  Appreciated the gift

  as we lilybri, you might have a problem where could someone flipping a hotspot twice, get a + 2 and the next button comes early.

  I did similar in the past in Cp4, but I can't find my example at the moment.  If I remember, I put a variable for each hotspot.  HotSpot1, hotspot2, hotspot3, etc. and set the button to be hidden.

  When rolledover, I got a conditional action that checked for the variable to zero and if zero set to 1 (if hotspot1 = 0, then assign hotspot1 = 1).  the conditional action (on each hotspot) checked every variable, and if each variable is equal to 1 (if hotspot1 = 1 AND hotspot2 = 1 AND hotspot3 = 1), the action executed a 'show' button (and then see the button_21).

  Sorry I don't have a screenshot of the example, but I hope the above makes sense and you can adapt it.

• How to make a clickable button which is a movieclip which is another button

  Guys good day.

  Problems with a button that is inside a movieclip and this movieclip is under another button.

  The buttons are more clickable. I have a panel that is to have a button when you rollover the movieclip mounts.

  And I want the buttons located under the movieclip are clickable. When I implemented the movieclip I want to go back to its original menu.

  Diagram:

  Panel.MC

  the inside contains

  Button1

  movieclip1

  
  inside the movieclip1

  Btn1, btn2, btn3 that does not work...

  If the movieclip containing the buttons a mouse interactive code applied, the buttons are blocked by the interaction with the mouse.

• How to activate a button only when an item of component tilelist is selected

  Simple question, but it seems quite difficult for me. How to activate a button only when an item in a tilelist currently selected?

  For example, lets say if I have a button named button1, which is disabled by default and a tilelist component called tilelist1 that I should add in brackets the following (the enabled property of the button) code to make sure that the button is only enabled when an item in the tilelist component is currently selected but disabled when no item is selected :-

  enabled = "{}".

  Enabled = "{tilelist1. SelectedItem} ".

  that should do it, it is making an implicit comparison with null (tilelist1.selectedItem == null) which will result in a Boolean value.

  SelectedItem is null when nothing is selected, non-null when something is.

• Need help to connect the buttons inside a movieclip

  they all go to the same frame?  that makes no sense.

  If you want to run each in their own framework 1, except just clicked the button that should go to its Framework 2, direct all frame them 1 followed by the evt.currentTarget goes to frame 2:

  function getXML08(e:MouseEvent) {}

  for (var i: int = 1; i<>

  prev08 ["BNT" + i] .gotoAndStop (1);

  }
