Help With Buttons Using Frame Labels
Hi - Newbie here...

I've placed a movie clip on my stage, which has another movieclip inside it, which has 3 buttons inside it.

My code on my actions layer in the main time line is the following...

------
menuload.menutext.button5.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop("Start");}
menuload.menutext.button6.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop("help");}
menuload.menutext.button7.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop("contact");}
-------

I'm using labels instead of frame numbers as I've read this is better. The problem is the buttons work fine if I'm going forward in my main timeline, but if I try going backwards, by clicking the 'button5' for example when I'm on the 'contact' frame, it doesn't go to it. I even tried changing to frame numbers to see if it was that but it didn't work.

Any help appreciated.

Scenes - Buttons And Frame Labels HELP
I have a Movie with Scenes 1, 2, 3, & 4. Each Scene has the same 4 buttons that float down from the top of the stage. I, of course, want the buttons to work from within all the scenes.

Should I have Frame Labels for EACH of the 4 buttons in EACH of the 4 Scenes?

OR

Should I use Tell Target and a GoToAndPlay on EACH of the 4 buttons in EACH of the 4 Scenes? If I use this, do I use _root.information and indicate which frame to start and play?

I have done this once before but can't seem to get this to work. Thanks! :-)

Scene Buttons, And Frame Labels
ok, ive been told, that with buttons you dont tafget the scene, when you want tpo make a button to change the scene, but to make it target the first frame of the scene using different frame lables, so on the first frame in scene 2 i have

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("//info");
}

(//info) being the frame label

and on scene 3 i have

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("//misc");
}

but either it doesnt change scene, or when it worx and you press the same button it will got to the next scene as well, eventually ending up at the preloader.. i have posted a few times but nothing seems to work

Assigning Frame Labels To Buttons
Help!
I have some frame labels, "f1,f2,f3,f4...f19,f20" and a variable called but_go which holds the name of a frame label. How can I make a button so that it goes frame but_go when released. but_go changes it's value at different points in the .fla

This is what I coded, but it doesn't work:
code: on (release) {
gotoAndStop(but_go);
}

If I replace but_go with "f1" in the above example, it works fine.
Any help would be appreciated.

Buttons Not Acknowledging My Frame Labels
argh! i'm getting very frustrated.

i have a button that i've told:
code: on(release) {
gotoAndPlay("saw2");
}
frame 22 is labeled "saw2cut", but all that happens is the playhead just continues playing on the main timeline from where it was until it finds the next stop action.

i am also having a few other minor glitches.
i can a simple shape a movie clip and put it outside the stage and assign code to it that will work right?
then, with code that i put on this simple shape MC, couldn't i make another movie clip change visibility at different frames?
such as on frame 1 for one instance of this simple green circle movie clip i made could i code:
code: onClipEvent(enterframe) {
saw2_mc._visible = false;
}
and on frame 22, i could make another instance of the green circle movie clip and code:
code: onClipEvent(enterframe) {
saw2_mc._visible = true;
}

for some reason, none of these things are working
i'm trying to figure out how to get my file down to 2 MB so i can upload it and get more specific help on these other problems but i can't figure out how unless i could email it to someone

Question About Buttons And Frame Labels
Hi, I'm working on a full flash site and have a question. I have buttons that fly into the page. After they fly in, what I want to happen is this: When the user clicks on a button, the first thing that happens is that the buttons fly back off the stage and then the movie proceeds to a specific frame label depending on which button they choose. I know how to do that sort of, but I can't figure out how to do them both together.

Like if they press the about us button, I know how to make the slides fade off the screen by going to a certain part of the time line which contains the tween, but how do I have the move do that, but know which button they pressed so flash can take them to the proper part of the movie which contains the content for that place in the time line?

Here is the link, the buttons don't work yet:

thanks!!

Creating New Buttons On Different Frame Labels
can someone tell me if im doing something wrong or assigning the as to the wrong frame?

first off i have all my buttons on frame 2. im creating a real estate site and i have to have a couple links like HOME ABOUT BUYING SELLING CONTACT, the thing though is that in the BUYING and SELLING frames i want to add more sections and links but only on these 2 other parts of my site. when i code it and add new buttons to these sections though my movie plays over and over and over non stop. heres my coding...

FRAME 1 preloader

Frame 2 has a frame label of home and all the buttons on a diff layer, and AS3 on a different layer

Frame 3 has a frame label for about section

Frame 4 is my contact for example

so if i create a new button in the about frame label and just add the code to the working as3 code on frame 2 my movie just plays over and over and over again, and all i want it do do is act like the other buttons and go to a different frame label down in the time line. the only way i get it to work is if i have ALL my buttons on frame 2.

frame 1
my preloader

frame2

home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onHome)
function onHome(event.MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndStop("home");
}

about_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onAbout)
function onAbout(event.MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndStop("about");
}

etc....

etc...

i enter my btn code just like this and the buttons on frame 2 work but any new buttons i try and creat and put into different frames othere then frame label "home" aka frame 2 wont work

Buttons With Dynamic Text Labels...
I think its fairly self explanitory, but Im looking for a tutorial or a simple script to reuse a movieclip, with a dynamic text field inside. I have the script to place all of the clips but I can't get the labels to be places. I have the actionscript on the timeline frame one. Would it look something like this:

navButton1.nav_text= "home";

Help Cant Make Buttons Goto Frame Labels.
I have a main menu with 5 buttons. When a button is clicked it should go to a new scene. however before that happens I wanted to make each button jump to a frame label that fades out the current scene. The first button works fine. It jumps to the correct frame and plays and fades out. However whenever I click on any of the other buttons instead of jumping to their prospective frame labels they all go to the beginning of the movie. Does anyone know why this happens. I can't find anything obvious wrong with the code. Frame labels are spelled correctly and all.

I use

on (release){
gotoAndPlay("Img 1");
}

this should work. It works fine for the first button.

Please help. Hope my explanation was detailed enough.

Buttons That Control Movie By Frame Labels
Hello.. >

I am trying to make a simple website with mx using only 2 buttons (forward and back) that will cycle through different images placed on different frames throughout the movie.

I have labeled every 10th frame in order 1,2,3 etc. On the forward button I am using the following code:

on (release) {
forwardFrame = _root.forward.pop();
_root.gotoAndPlay(forwardFrame);
}

and on the back button I am using this code:

on (release) {
_root.forward.push(_root._currentFrame);
frameNowOn = _root.back.pop();
backFrame = _root.back.pop();
_root.gotoAndPlay(backFrame);
}

and on every 10th frame I have this action:

stop();
back.push( _currentFrame );

obviously I am missing something or maybe I'm not going in the right direction at all. Thanks for any advice.

_Root Buttons Targeting MC Frame Labels
I have a basic menu on the _root level. I dynamically load MC's into an empty MC on the stage, and these loaded MC's have frame labels.

I would like to use the gotoAndPlay function from the _root menu to move the play head within the loaded MC's, but it won't work properly.

This seems so simple, but yet I can't make it happen...suggestions?

Question About Linking Buttons And Combobox Labels
I'm loading/unloading external .swfs into a target mc using this code on my buttons:

on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "links";
empty_MC.loadMovie("links.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != "links") {
if (empty_MC._currentframe >=
empty_MC.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = "links";
empty_MC.play();
}
}

and this code on the last frame of each external .swf:

_root.empty_MC.loadMovie(_root.currMovie+".swf");

Using this code, clicking on the "links" button loads the external "links" swf and plays it (intro animation) to a midframe point, then stops. Then, when a different button is clicked, the "links" swf plays out the remainder of the frames (outro animation), unloads, and the new .swf is loaded in the same fashion.

This all works fine. However, I also want to setup a combobox and link the labels so that they load/unload the external .swfs AND play the intro/outro animations, but I'm not sure how to go about it.

I currently have the combobox labels linked with the following code:

var box_listener:Object = new Object();
artist_box.addEventListener("change", box_listener);
box_listener.change = function() {
var selected_item = artist_box.selectedItem;
if (selected_item.label == "links") {
empty_MC.loadMovie ("links.swf");

Is there a way to apply the button code (or some blended version thereof) to the combobox so that all buttons and combobox labels load and unload the external .swfs AND play the intro/outro animations?

XprtHelp: Buttons In Mc Linked To Labels On Main Timeline?
I am making a very simple site with one timeline. This seems so simple but it isn't working: i created a mc that contains several buttons with over states. I placed the mc in my navigation menu with an invisible button to close it when user's mouse moves off. Where do I link the buttons in this movie clip to labels on the main timeline? It seems like I should select them in the mc, and use gotoandStop on that label. But when I click them in testing the movie, they don't work. I posted the (very) unfinished swf to my url: jkbeasley.com

Can anyone help? I am sitting here alone with no experienced flashies to ask, and I hate when something so easy just will. not. come. to. me!!! THANKS!!!!!!!

Animated Buttons, External Swfs, Frame Labels, Better Code - Please Advise
I have three animated buttonMc's with code like this on them..

on (rollOver) {gotoAndPlay(2);
}
on (rollOut) {gotoAndPlay(8);
}
on (release) {gotoAndStop(16);
_root.mtClip.play();
_root.nextMc="scene1.swf";
if (_root.butt2MC._currentFrame == "16") {
_root.butt2MC.gotoAndPlay(8);
}
if (_root.butt3MC._currentFrame == "16") {
_root.butt3MC.gotoAndPlay(8);
}
_root.statusBox.text = "button 1 text"
}

First of all the animation works perfectly but the external swf's can't keep up with the user if they click too fast - how can I fix this?

Also, these buttonMC's are on the stage but the code for them is inside each MC. The script tells each button to go to different frames to make each button animate to its appropriate state.

look at example --->

How can I rewrite the code to ...
A) not reside in each button but on the main timeline
B) reference frame labels instead of frame numbers
c) not lose any functionality doing this...
d) at least load the swf's properly play existing outro and load new intro..

Currently If I want to add five more buttons the code must be duplicated for each buttonMC and this seems really inefficient. This is the only way I have been able to make everything work though. any insights appreciated..

Easy Q About Buttons.
I have Flash MX and the action script really ocnfuses me, so I figured I'd just ask...

I'm making a directory page for a website using about five buttons. I wanted to make it so that after a button was pressed a movie clip would play at the bottom of the screen and then it would go to its URL. After I got all of the button animations done I realized that I had no clue how to make that work, so here I am.

Thanks in advance.

Buttons (easy, But Confused)
What are the catchall methods for the ON command for both the mouseover and mouseout.

I am using:

on (rollOver, dragOver)
for moving over

and

on (rollOut, dragOut, releaseOutside)
for moving off

However, if I move over it very fast, it registers only the rollOver and leaves the MC targeted by the button in it's "ON" state. How can I make sure that this doesn't happen?

Buttons (easy Question)
how do you make it so that when you click on a button, the action stays without having to have your mouse clicked down? example: i have a bathroom scene. you can click the light switch and the lights go out but in order for the lights to stay out, you have to keep your mouse clicked over it. is there anyway to just click and the lights stay out without linking to another scene?

Easy Buttons Question
i have a row of 6 buttons. when user clicks on a button number 1, i want it to go to frame number 1 (scene number 1, whatever). when user clicks button number 2 i want my movie to go to frame number 2 (scene number 2, again whatever). the idea is to make a web presentation, on which button number 1 would be the history of a company, button 2 would be contact information etc. so everything would be stationary, just text, hardly any animation. help, anyone?

Scroll Buttons - Easy Solution I Think
Ok, here is my news/text file loaded externally into the swf and then scrollable: click

But this way I can only scroll one line per click.. i know it has to do with this part of the code in each button:

on (press) {
// Scroll towards the bottom of the text
news.scroll++;
}

I tried changing the press to:
release; didnt work
press, release; didnt work
rollover; didnt work

How can I make it so it scrolls the news just as long as you hold the click. Thanks guys

Easy ActionScript Help - Nested Buttons
I am trying to make this button point to a new scene.

Here is how the button is put together:
NavGigs (button) inside links (graphic) --> navLinks (movie clip) --> News (scene)

So down in the library, I opened up links, clicked on NavGigs, and assigned an action to it.

Here is the action:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("Gigs", 1);
}
on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("movingTicket") {
play();
}
}
on (press, rollOut) {
tellTarget ("movingTicket") {
gotoAndPlay(14);
}
}

Now, the thing is, everything works except that first on (release). I'm trying to get it to go to scene "Gigs" and play frame 1, but it doesn't move at all.

To double check things, I dragged a new instance of the button onto the stage (not inside navLinks --> links) and assigned the appropriate action, and it worked perfect. So I'm guessing this has to do with the fact that this button has been nested far into the movie. How can I ActionScript my way out of this?

HI . Easy Question About Buttons And Timelines.
hi .
I have a button three timelines "deep" in a flash clip and
I would like to know how can I
give an action script that when the button is pressed ("press", not "release")
the main timeline will start from a range of frames of my choosing?
like on press - go to frame etc. but since the button is not in the main timeline it doesnt work...
I created and example in this fla.
say I want to press the red button and as Im pressing it - the black rectangle will move like it does from frames 70-100.
normally if the button was in the main timeline I could write
on press - go to etc. but since it is 3 timelines deep it
won't work..
please I would very much appreciate any kind of assitance,
Roei.

Interactive Buttons...A Very Stupid Question. Easy Fix.
I'm aware of the buttons' up/down/hit..etc states. Unfortunately, I need to make something a bit more ambitious and this is a very stupid question...

I have a bitmap that I'm loading transparent objects over(on a different layer). I want to make it so that when a specific object is either clicked or rolled over, the movie will skip to that specific layer...and *stay there*. Then, when the object is clicked or rolled out again, the movie skips back to frame one. I want to make several layers with different objects but I'm assuming it's all the same. Both my Flash books don't go into this kind of detail.

I created the bitmap layer and it's sitting on it just fine. I created another layer: LAYER2 and I placed a button symbol on that layer, that is set to alpha 0%, called BUTTON1.

On the second frame of LAYER1, I have the keyframe for the bitmap background duplicated. I also have, on LAYER2, the transparent object duplicated on the second keyframe.

I set actionscript on BUTTON1, in keyframe 1 of LAYER2 to:

on (press) {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
on (release) {
stop();
}

My problem is, when I test the movie, it doesn't stop. It flashes between frames 1+2. :/ I also can't figure out how to release the click or rollout to go back to layer one.

I'm sure this is a rudimentary problem. If anyone could help me, I'd be *much* appreciated.

Mad.

Easy Fade ( Movie Clip Buttons )
Incase anyone makes alot of Alpha rollover changes this little code snippet will automatically enable all buttons via array or inside the object to have a rollover and rollout.

It also cleans up after it's done.
ActionScript Code:
// Vars
var fadeSpeed:Number = 5;
var fadeMin:Number = 20;
var fadeMax:Number = 100;
var fadeStart:Number = 20;
// fade Prototype
MovieClip.prototype.fade = function(fadeValues) {
// Set Values
var fadeSpeed = fadeValues[0];
var fadeMin = fadeValues[1];
var fadeMax = fadeValues[2];
this._alpha = fadeValues[3];
// Roll Over Function
this.onRollOver = function() {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this._alpha<fadeMax) {
trace(this._alpha);
this._alpha += fadeSpeed;
} else {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
};
// Rollout Function
this.onRollOut = function() {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this._alpha>fadeMin) {
trace(this._alpha);
this._alpha -= fadeSpeed;
} else {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
};
};
// USE ARRAY OF ALL MOVIE CLIP INSTANCE NAMES
/*
var clipArray:Array = new Array('item1','item2',....'itemN');
for(var num in clipArray) {
this[clipArray[num]].fade([fadeSpeed, fadeMin, fadeMax, fadeStart]);
}
*/
// GET ALL MOVIE CLIP INSTANCE NAMES IN OBJECT
/*
for (var clip in this) {
if (this[clip]._target) {
trace(this[clip]._target);
this[clip].fade([fadeSpeed, fadeMin, fadeMax, fadeStart]);
}
}
*/

Any "Easy <-> Intermediate" Way To Animate Buttons?
I was looking around the forums and saw many examples but most were "advanced" near page long things... I was wodnering if theirs a simplier way to control buttons animations like...

Mouseover button, menu drops and stops
Mouseover another button and the previous button "retracts" (Menu goes back to its original state) and the button you went over animates down

Baiscally when you go over a button it runs another Movie which animates a drop down menu

-In Detail

Mouse over target (the button itself dosne't animate when mouseover)

Tells "ThisMenuTarget1" to animate

This menu stays down until someone mousesover another button in which case "ThisMenuTarget1" retracts and goes back to its original state and "ThisMenuTarget2" drops down. When they go over "ThisMenuTarget3" then "ThisMenuTarget2" retreacts to its original state and "ThisMenuTarget3" drops down and so on...

Any "Sort of" simple way to do this?

Is There An Easy Way To "tab" Between Buttons?
Hi everybody,

My g'f and I are currently writing some educational software in flash. So far, we've got an on-screen 3x3 grid with numbers 1-9 in it. The idea is that the (very handicapped) kids select the correct next number, counting from 1 up to 9.

We've got it working with the mouse no problems. However, not all the children have the coordination to use the mouse; hence we need to be able to use keypresses as well. What we'd like to be able to do is have a sort of "this is the one you're going to select" dotted box around the buttons; and for this to be moveable with the cursor keys (similar to being able to tab backwards and forwards on buttons within windows, fr'ex).

However, we're stuck as how exactly to go about this. I realise that we could do it by creating multiple copies of each frame, with the "dotted line" overlaying different buttons, and then jump from keyframe to keyframe accordingly, but this is going to be a lot of work (and I mean a *lot* of work!). Is there anything within flash that we can use which will take care of this automatically?

Thanks for your time and any help you can lend us - it will be most gratefully received!

Hi i have a problem here.

I am trying to have 2 person kicking a ball to and thro each other.

I will have a button on each of the person, so that when u click on it, they will kick the ball.

How I do it, is have the two person and the ball all to be a mc.

On the button, when the person clicks onto it, if the ball timeline is at a certain frame, it will play, else it won't.

But I am having trouble referring to where the ball stops(the frame label).

on (release) {
if (ball.stop("onetwo") {
_root.person.play();
_root.ball.play();
}
}

Also do I did to follow a IF with an ELSE??

*********
One more thing. I was loading one movie into another, how can I have the actions still playing??

using flash mx 2004 i had standard labels on my radio buttons. i then use this main movie inside another so i can have an external preloader. everything worked fine, but i must have changed something, because now when i test it, the labels dissapear. When I test the main movie they are still there. But using the preloader they are gone. and when the movie is tested they still work the same, the labels just left. any idea as to what caused this?
