Thanks!

Adding Sound To A Movie Clip Help
Hello,

I have an interactive map and when you drop the state over the correct matching state it supposed to say 'correct'

Whats happening is just the opposite it's saying correct when the state is dropped on any incorrect state or match.

Here is the code:

var mc_state01:MovieClip;
mc_state01.onPress=function():Void {
this.startDrag();
};
mc_state01.onRelease=function():Void {
this.stopDrag();
if(eval(this._droptarget)==mc_state01Target) {
this._visible=false;
sound1 = new Sound(this);
sound1.attachSound("right");
sound1.start(0,1);
mc_state01Target.gotoAndPlay(2);

};
}

Adding Movie Clip To Button
Is it possible to have a button play a movie clip when clicked?

Adding Movie Clip To Button
Yes is the answer.
Now it all depends how you want to go about it.
It could be as simple as this.

on (release) {
loadMovieNum("your_movie", 0);
}
You could also have your movie on the timeline and have your button go to a specific frame and play.
(15) means frame 15 of your timeline
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(15);
}
Or is this what you were asking?

Adding A Button Into A Movie Clip
Flash 8
Action Script 2.0

I know this is somthing pretty basic but i'm not sure what is happening and was wondering if anyone can answer my question.

I'm trying to drop a button from the library in to a movie clip, when i drop the button into the movieclip then select a shape in the movie clip the button gets a dotted line round it which i think causes the button not to perform as it should because when i lauch the file in a SWF it seems like plain text.

Does anyone know where i am going wrong here?

Any advice would be great!

Thanks,
Garry

[F8] Adding Audio To Movie Clip Button
I am wondering how to add a sound to an animated movie clip button that only plays once. With the code that I am using when you mouseOver it plays the sound and animation, then when you move your mouse off it plays backward and when it hits frame one it plays the sound again. Thanks in advance.

-Roger

Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
this.nextFrame();
} else {
this.prevFrame();
}

Adding Link To Button W/ Movie Clip
I am very new to flash so I'll explain what I've done before I ask what My question is.
I created a button by combining a gradiant rectangle and text>convert to graphic>convert to button>dbl click on the now button>selected 'Over' state>convert to movie clip>added animation to 'Over' state>did the same with 'Down' state (using different animation).
All of this works fine but I am totally stumped as how to add a hyperlink to it. I know how to do it with just a simple image ie draw circle>convert to button>Actions>on (release) {
getURL("http://www.mysite.com", "_self");
}
>save>publish preview HTML
I think it might be where I am trying to add the hyperlink but I'm not sure.
I even tried going to 'Scene 1' selecting the whole thing and converting that to a botton and then adding the Actionscript as above but no joy to that either.
I would really appreciate any advice.
Thanks

Actionscript 2.0, Adding An Event Handle To A Button In A Movie Clip
Hey,

One of my biggest complaints has been Flash's Actionscripting IDE and since moving from 6.0 to 8.0 I started to look for an Actionscript IDE with intellisense; and found FlashDevelop. To be frank, I've been very impressed with it and have been looking for ways of removing most, if not all, AS scripting from Flash and putting that into FlashDevelop and simply import the appropriate classes / code.

So far so good - however, I've hit a bit of a brick wall with something. Basically, I've created a MovieClip in Flash, set the appropriate AS Class 2.0 identifier through the library properities and then created the class defintion in FlashDevelop - this is working fine and some trace statements in the initialiser prove its linking OK. Within the movie I've got a button at Frame 10 whose event I want to wire/capture in my class and then perform the appropriate actions, I've tried adding an event handler and it doesn't work and I feel my AS jargon hasn't been good enough to get/location a solution from Google.

So, within my AS 2.0 class that is linked to a movieclip I want to capture the 'click' event of a button through code and run some code. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Cheers

Button In Movie Clip - No Sound
Hi

I have buttons in movie clips that run from the main timeline. Sounds attached to the main timeline work fine, but the button sound effects (i.e. hover, press) don't work. (They do work when I test the scene the button is in, but not when the movie is played.)

Can anyone help. Please. Thanks in advance for your time in even reading this.

Movie Clip Button Sound Over States....
Hey wutsup guys,

OK, I did a search through the forum and thought I found what I wanted, but in the end couldn't get it to work, so basically all I need is to trigger a sound when the mouse cursor is over the "over" / "out" state. Since I have animations to the buttons, I already have this existing script working fine, just need that extra line of code to add sound to the certain state, but I couldn't think of it off the top of my head:

______________________________________

this.button_mc.onRollOver = function(){
button_mc.gotoAndPlay("_over");
}

this.button_mc.onRollOut = function(){
button_mc.gotoAndPlay("_out");
}

this.button_mc.onRelease = function() {
button_mc.getURL("http://www.chriscerros.com");
}

Thanks doods.

Help, Button Plays Sound From Unrelated Movie Clip
Project overview:
CD interface; plays animation and then stops on a navigation button interface that links to pdf files.

Problem:
During test movie, when I click on any of the nav buttons (frames 170-371), in the main movie clip, it plays the sound from another movie clip (mc "A"). mc "A" is also located in the main movie clip timeline (frames 1-34).

I have stop all sounds action on the last frame of the mc "A". I also have a StopAllSounds(); on frame 34 of the main mc.

I should mention clicking the buttons only plays the sound sometimes... humm could the sound be looping randomly on its own?

How do I get the sound to stop at the end of mc "A" frame 34?

Thanks for your help

Adding Sound To A Button-please Help
I have added sound to a button "over" state, but I would like to start only if mouse pointer stays over button more than 1 sec. I got this code from clbeech, but I don't quite get it.

This is what I did:
1. I made button play-put it to stage and gave it instance name "play"
2. I imported sound to library-selected it clicked properties-linkage-and gave indentifier "sound"
3. I made new layer named actionscript and entered the clbeech's code
4. In
btnsound.attachSound('btnsound_id');
I replaced btnsound_id with sound

5. in
my_btn.onRollOver = function() {
I replaced my_btn with play (also I put play.onRollOut )

When I publish it, there are no errors shown, but sound doesn't load, nothing happens.
What am I missing.
Thanks,
Sasa

Attach Code

This is clbeech's code:

var timer:Number;

var btnsound = new Sound();
btnsound.attachSound('btnsound_id');

my_btn.onRollOver = function() {
timer=setInterval(playSound, 1000);
}

my_btn.onRollOut = function() {
clearInterval(timer);
}

function playSound() {
clearInterval(timer); //if the sound only plays once
btnsound.play();
}

Adding Sound To Button
How would I add sound to a button in a navigation box? I've looked and looked, but no one has it anywhere that I can find. A tutorial would be nice, so I would know how to do it again and again, rather than trying to figure it from a flash file.

God bless,

Adding Sound To A Button
I used the "Creating Movie Clip Buttons" tutorial to build all of my buttons in flash. Is there an easy way to add sound to the "_over" and "_out" state's??

Adding Sound To A Button
I know there's a similar thread in here, but my query is slightly different and I don't wanna highjack the other thread.
Anyway, I'm trying to do the tutorial on this site named 'Adding sounds to a button' and I'm struggling.
At one point it says to click 'Window' / 'Common libraries'/ 'Sounds' - but I don't have that menu.
I realise this is probably coz the tutorial wasn't written for MX2004, but I can usually find the equivalent menu in such circumstances.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to find the sound library? Or am I wasting my time??
This is the first time I've attempted to add sound to a site so go easy on me!

Adding Sound To An Animated Button?
ok, so i've made two, multi-frame, animated graphics. i open a new "button" symbol. place a static version of the graphic in "up" frame. put one animated graphic in the "over" frame, and the other animated graphic in the "down" frame, and then defined the "hit" area.
now, i want to play one sound clip in the "over" state, and another sound clip in the "down" state.
anybody know where the sound clip would go? In the button itself, or in the graphic?

another thing that doesn't make sense. i have to have the animated graphic that is in the "over" state, labeled as a movie clip. and the other animated graphic in the "down" state labeled as a graphic. or else the animation wont opperate properly. well, many thiings don't make sense to me, so i guess this really isn't all that important. as long as it works. hahahaha

Adding Sound To Movie
I was creating an MP3 player embeded in Flash 5. I figured out how to create the play, stop, pause, and volume controls on the player. The only think that I am missing is the animation. In the sound section of Flashkit, when you preview a sound, you see a number of bars moving up and down. I was wondering if anyone knows how to do this effect. Also, I was wondering if anyone knows how to make a seek bar (the bar that shows the current position in the mp3 and that you can drag to go to any location in the song. I was brainstorming and could only think of making a movie clip that that has as many frames as the length of the movie)

Thank you very much, in advance, for your suggestions

Adding Sound Loop To Movie
hello,

i wanted to add a sound loop to my movie that automatically starts playing. A tutorial on here sais: make a new layer, with the keyframe selected go to modify - frame and there you can do something... but in the modify dropdown there is no such thing as 'frame'. So that didn't help much.

Flash help sais:
With the new sound layer selected, drag the sound from the Library panel onto the Stage. The sound is added to the current layer.
You can place multiple sounds on one layer or on layers containing other objects. However, it is recommended that each sound be placed on a separate layer. Each layer acts as a separate sound channel. The sounds on all layers are combined when you play the SWF file.

In the Timeline, select the first frame that contains the sound file.
Select Window > Properties and click the arrow in the lower right corner to expand the Property inspector.
In the Property inspector, select the sound file from the Sound pop-up menu.
Select an effect option from the Effects pop-up menu:

I drag the sound to the stage from my labrary, but i dond see such options in my properties inspector, and yes i have expanded the window. might be because i am using flash 8 But someone please help me.

tnx, Snuurtje

Adding Sound On Movie Clips Please Help
Hello I am very new to action scripting and I have a us map with dragable states and when drug to the correct state it should sound "correct"
I got it to sound but it sounds even when drug to an incorrect state and when drug to the correct state it also dissapears now....

Adding Sound To Movie Clips
I am relatively new to Flash and I have taken over a Flash project that was made out of Movie Clips (.swfs). This was done by creating the presentation out of 5 separate documents (saved as .swfs) with a behavior action added to the last frame of each file telling the movie to load the next external movieclip.

Now that the project is finished, I am not sure if there is any way to add sound to the file since it is made out of separate movieclips rather than one long flash document. Everytime the new movieclip loads, the music will either start over at the beginning for that document, or stop playing all together. Is there any way to make the music play continously through all five movies?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!

Adding New Movie Clip
hello i was just wondering how you add a movie clip (or perferibly a button) from your libary to a certain stop on your stage. Example. An RPG based game where you pick up an item, and it adds it in your hands, like a sword, then you can pick a sheild and add that too, but if you picked up a different weapon the shield would stay in your hands. Or another Example, like a shoot it up game. Where you like shoot a crate and out pops ammo, that kind of things.

[F8] Adding A Movie Clip With AS
Hi All,

Here's my code to grab my inventory from the database, parse out the symbol names and them make movie clips for each. I then pass the movie clip to the addToSlot function and it *should* get added. I can see it gets added thru trace statement, but the leaf doesn't show up in the inventory area.

PHP Code:

// my inventory line comes in like &inv=greenleaf*redfire
var myArray = this.inv.split("*");
for (var i = 0; i<=myArray.length-1; i++) {
    if (myArray[i]) {
        // create clip
        my_mc = _root.createEmptyMovieClip(myArray[i],this.getNextHighestDepth())
        //this.getNextHighestDepth()
        trace("my_mc:"+my_mc);
        // attach clip to inv
        _root.addToSlot(my_mc);
    }// has value
}

myArray[i] looks like '_level10.greenleaf'

Here's my addToSlot function

PHP Code:

function addToSlot(item) {
    if (currentslotnum <= maxSlots) {
        item._x = eval ("itemSlot" + currentslotnum)._x;
        item._y = eval ("itemSlot" + currentslotnum)._y;
        currentslotnum++;
    }
}

This code works great when I run across a movie clip that I've loaded onto the timeline thru Flash. But when I run the first chunk of code to get my inventory out of the database and parse it, I can't see to get the greenleaf movieclip to go into my inventory area.

Not sure what the problem is. I think I'm recreating the movieclip with all the right parameters, except maybe the depth value (which I don't know much about).

When the code runs, my traces show that stuff is happening, and my greenleaf movie clips are being put into the inventory area, just the greenleaf isn't visible on top of the inventory spot - maybe it's hidden underneath it?

Can someone help me out pls? Let me know if I am making the movie clips correctly. It makes sense to me to make a movie clip and then pass it to addToSlot.

Thanks
Eliia

Adding Sound To Drag & Drop MC With Button Inside (Flash8)

Adding Sound To A Movie Clip Button

Hi I have a button that is really a movie clip (pull down menu). I would like to attach a sound when the user mouses over the movie clip to pull up the menu. Can anyone help?
