Flash :: Acition With Action Script

Action Script Question: Where Is The OnRelease Action In The Action Folders
I’m working on a project and I trying to make it when you click down on a button that click will send you to a point in the movie and then a symbol will play from there. I know that you need to pick the key with the button on it in the time line and then I know you need to pick the button that you would like to assign the GoToAndPlay statement on.

But what’s really messing with me is where in the heck the on release or the on mouse down statement is in the little action a book when are looking in the action window.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Frame Action To Call Tell Target (rather Than Button Action)?
I really need a frame to Tell Target a movie clip. For some reason, I can't get a Frame Action to work with Tell Target.

I have no problem applying the same Tell Target to a button, however. Am I missing something? Is Tell Target not meant for Frame Actions?

On(rollOver)action + On(release)action + Photo Transition
Okay, I'll try to describe what I want to do and probably just need help putting it together.

I have :

5 black & white photos -- all converted to MC's (bwimage1, bwimage2 etc)
5 color photos (same as b&w) -- all converted to MC's (image1,image2 etc)
5 buttons -- all converted to symbol-buttons (image1_btn, image2_btn etc)

I have the 5 buttons lined up vertically on the left side of the page. I have a spot on the right side of the page where I want the picture to be visible, the black&white version on (rollOver) and the color version on(release).

I know how to make just one of the photos appear on rollover or on release but I don't know how to change the photos from B&W to Color on the actions. I would like a transition between the photos from rollover to release (b&w to color) like a fade.

Any help is appreciated.

Assign Cursor Action To MovieClip Using OnRollOver Action?
Hi all

I have a cool component from FlashLoaded which lets me create brilliant 3d layouts with out much hassle. The componet uses the cursors to zoom in zoom out and pan left and right.

I dont want to have to put an explanation on the site, I would like to put some invisible mc's or buttons on the stage that when the user rolls over them with the mouse it triggers that action.

Is there a simple piece of code i can place on the buttons to make this happen?

Many thanks in advance

Adding Action To Button Stops Other Action.
Flash MX.....

I have two frames, there resides on the stage a button with the instance name "blabla".

First frame actionscript is.....

blabla._y = blabla._y + 1;

Second frame actionscript is........

gotoAndPlay(1);

The button slides down the screen when published, that is the desired effect.

Problem..... as soon as I add any actionscript to the button, even just two comment slashes "//", the movement stops.

I have a feeling that there is some really basic concept that is flying over my head at the moment.

Button Triigers Action Only If Other Action Has Been Performed.
I need to make a button call an action only if another specific action has already been performed.

Here's the scenario:

I've got four MC's, each set up as a button, placed on my main stage and given an instance name.

Each MC has a stop action in the first frame. When the button is clicked the MC will begin to play simply by using this code:

on (release) {play();

Once it's off the screen (or no longer behind a mask I should say), the MC stops at a frame labeled "down" with a simple stop action. A few frames later, I have a frame labeled "up" that when triggered, will cause the mc to start again and the button/graphic that is off the screen will come back on the stage.

This works fine using the code below:

on (release) {play();
_root.associates.gotoAndPlay("up");
_root.services.gotoAndPlay("up");
_root.portfolio.gotoAndPlay("up");
}

However, I dont want the button to trigger any of the gotoAndPlay actions UNLESS the specific button has already been clicked and is off the stage.

I guess the code I am looking for would be something like this:

if_root.associates =("down") then _root.associates.gotoAndPlay("up");

any ideas?

Thanks

Question / MC Action (different Action By Clicking)
Hi. I am a beginner of ActionScript, and I need some help to do the Movie Clip action something like this:

(1) When you click a movie clip (say, square) itself, it moves to particular direction and stops.

(2) Then when you click it again, this time it moves to the other direction and stops at the position where it has used to be.

I would like to make this thing with all ActionScript.

I am appreciated if some of you could help me out. Thanks.

Have a nice day.

Delayed Action In CS3 Action Script 3.0
Hello everyone...

I've been working on a problem for three days now and have tried various forums attempting to get the answer. So..... I'm here to give the KIRUPA group a shot.
Here is my problem:

Using Flash CS3 and Action Script 3 I created a flash site with lots of pretty cool animation. On one page I have a few buttons which are linked to various urls. With my limited knowledge, the Flash CS3 Bible and the Action Script Bible I am able to get this far.

On this page, I would like to enter script for each of the buttons that will cause a delay of 5 seconds before the requested url action is taken and the user is taken to the next page. This is so the animation that is running can finish before the user is redirected to the requested url.

I hope that I've made myself clear on this issue. I've had a lot of practice attempting to explain this over the past few days.

Thank you VERY much in advance to the person who can help me with this problem.

How To Write: Perform Action, Then Perform Action?
I have the following piece of script on a MC:

onClipEvent(load) {
startX = this._x;
startY = this._y;
move = false;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if (move) {
this._x += (destX - this._x) / 6;

}
}

What I would like to change this script to do is: onClipEvent, after (move), saying if move = true, perform the following operation THEN make move=false.

anyone know how I can write this? so that after move = true an action is performed (the MC moves to a destination x coordinate with velocity), then after it gets to its destination, make move = false.

thanks so much

Action In One Clip Calls For Action In Another Clip
I'm wondering if it's possible to put an action in one movie that has an effect on a different movie clip.

more speciffically I am running one main movie that calls different other movies that are displayed on top. I want to put actions in the "bottom" movie that work as the "go to and play" action only in the movie that is on "top of" it. if that makes any sense at all.

when you click a button, the external movie clip is affected. is that possible?

Action Script 3.0 Covert To Action Script 2.0
OK....so I'm a newbie on this site but have a serious flash problem and was wondering if someone would be so kind to help me out. Here is my problem:

My site is built in (AS)3.0. I got to the end of building it and realized that the component(slideshow pro) that I wanted to use for the photo gallery is not 3.0 compatible, it needs to be 2.0.

So I figured this leaves me with two solutions, one easy way and one hard way. The easy way is to pull an external .swf (as2.0) file in a (as3.0) file. I couldn't get this way to work correctly though. The hard way to fix this problem is to convert the actionscript from 3.0 to 2.0. I couldn't find a generator or any software that could help me automatically do this(so if anyone knows of one please let me know).

Here is the code:

stop();
import flash.ui.Mouse;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;

var homeX:Number = -1660;
var homeY:Number = 963;

var newsX:Number = -676;
var newsY:Number = 963;

var aboutX:Number = 214;
var aboutY:Number = 963;

var xTween:Tween;
var yTween:Tween;
var inTween:Tween;
var outTween:Tween;

xTween = new Tween(main_mc,"x",Strong.easeInOut,main_mc.x,homeX ,2,true);
yTween = new Tween(main_mc,"y",Strong.easeInOut,main_mc.y,homeY ,2,true);

inTween = new Tween(main_mc.home_mc,"alpha",None.easeNone,0,1,.5 ,true);
outTween = new Tween(main_mc.home_mc,"alpha",None.easeNone,1,0,.5 ,true);

xTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,f adeIn);
xTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_START,fa deOut);

home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);
news_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);
about_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);

function navigate(event:MouseEvent):void
{
if(event.target == home_btn)
{
setTween(homeX,homeY,main_mc.home_mc);
}
else if(event.target == news_btn)
{
setTween(newsX,newsY,main_mc.news_mc);
}
else
{
setTween(aboutX,aboutY,main_mc.about_mc);
}
}

function setTween(tweenX:Number,tweenY:Number,tweenMC:Movie Clip):void
{
xTween.begin = main_mc.x;
yTween.begin = main_mc.y;
xTween.finish = tweenX;
yTween.finish = tweenY;
tweenMC.alpha = 0;
inTween.obj = tweenMC;
xTween.start();
yTween.start();

}

function fadeIn(event:TweenEvent):void
{
inTween.start();
outTween.obj = inTween.obj;
}

function fadeOut(event:TweenEvent):void
{
outTween.start();
}

xTween.stop();
yTween.stop();
inTween.stop();
outTween.stop();

-If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. Thank you

How Do You Use The (If) Action?
I got a problem, I'm always getting something messed up when I try to use the If Action in Flash, It always returns the statement true, this is the action im using right now but it always returns it true so it just goes to frame 3 but its not true untill songplaying=true right?

if (songplaying) {
gotoAndStop (3);
} else {
gotoAndStop (1);
}

In another movie clip on my stage on the first frame there is a button and when you click on it it goes to frame 2 which has this code in it,

_soundbuftime=10;
song.stop;
song = new Sound();
song.attachSound(loadmovie ("MoveYourBody.swf", "../c_sound"));
song.start;
songplaying=true;

Anyone know what my problem is? Is that even how you use the Else command?

Which Action Should I Use For This?
Once again it's back to the Flash gods for some help.
I have a page with 10 buttons. I want each button to call a movie clip with text in a box. There are 10 boxes of text each different. I need a script so If you press button 1, text box 1 is loaded, button 2 text box 2 is either loaded on top or duplicated. I tried with duplicate movie and it works except if you call a button that was called already it will not re appear. I used set property in another page and that was great but it was for movie instances that were exactly the same but in different locations on the stage. I know theres got to be a way to do this any suggestions?

Using The URL Action
Hi,

I have a flash movie which uses the get URL action to load an HTML page in a new window, and was wondering if the following was possible - its a little tricky to follow but I hope it comes across clear!

1) Is it possible to use the get URL action with many objects and open the corresponding windows in the first new window that would appear, rather than opening each and every link in a new window of its own?

2) Secondly, is it possible to get a Flash movie that was previously loaded, to load from an HTML page back to a certain frame in the movie, instead of loading back to frame 1? (Thus avoiding preloaders, and any repetitive animation?)

Thanks!

this is the path and inside unit207W there is a button.
When clicked, I need it to go to a new scene.

I have this as my code, and it does not work....
The trace I set up after the path works, but it does not go to the new scene...

Am I even doing this right to begin with? Or is there another way????
