Button Issue In Flash - Program Issue
all of a sudden when i create a button and place it on stage i cant click it to drag it, scale or whatever...instead when i hover over it it behaves as in a compiled swf file (cursor changes into a hand,...).
How can i change that to the way it was? Anyone had this problem before? It is becoming really irritating.

Button Issue
Hi all,
I wanted to create a moving button, for that I created the button and in its "up state", I put a movie with the move I want, but what happens when I test the result is: when I go over the moving button, it doesn't stop, I want to know how I can make it stop wherever I put the cursor over it.
I know I've seen of that, been trying to find the link, with no success. I hope you guys got my point.

I have a button that contains a MovieClip nested inside it. When I click on the button it finds the correct label.
on(release){
_root.gotoAndPlay("ghghghg");
}

However, when I press the button again it travels to the next label which is not what I want. Can anyone explain the reason this is happening? Any help would be greatly appreiciated.

Button Issue
hey.
i am using buttons that are inside movies to goto frames in my
scene.
i am using this script:

on(release){
_root.gotoAndPlay("framelabel");
}

problem is when i am in the frame that and i click the button that
is programed to goto that frame, it goes to the next frame, instead of just staying in the current frame.

for example the home button goes to the first frame of the scene.
but if i am in the first frame and i hit the home button, it goes to
frame 2.

why is this,
how can i fix it?

The site in question is:

http://www.denisemihalik.com

The flash works fine in most cases. However, if, after loading, you allow the clip to just sit for a while and then click the "c'mon" button, instead of the movie clip playing, as the actionscript says it should, it just goes to a blank screen. any ideas anyone?

on (release, rollOver) {

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Level 19, Frame=1: Line 6: Syntax error.

Code on this button is:

on (release, rollOver) {
_root.link = "blue";
on (press, release) {
getURL("staff.html", "_self");
}

How do I fix this?

I am having this problem with my scroll buttons... Whenever I hold down the mouse button and rolloff the button and release the button is still moving lol... For instance you click a button and it shows it's animation... then if you keep the mouse button pressed and rolloff and release it the animation doesn't stop... Same applies with actionscrip... If you have a button that _global.up = true when on (Press) is activated it will still stay active if you keep the mouse pressed and move off the button and release... Is there a way to fix this problem? Thanks for all the help guys!

Having A Button Issue
Hi guys,

Havin a blond moment so it would seem. Ive designed a site where the buttons did originally work... and now they dont lol.

I have about 8 scenes and they all come off the main page. Your meant to press and release a button and goto and play "Menu 1" "Menu 2" etc... but it just keeps replaying the first for some silly reason im sure.

You can download the fla file @

www.mattsamuels.com/Matts Site.fla

If someone wouldnt mind taking a look I would be most grateful... its "Scene 1" Frame 64 where the first scene stops... Menu buttons...

Thanks guys

Ver: Flash MX

Alright, here is my problem, short of this one problem, everything is working perfect. I have created a page with buttons and animation. There are pulses that go on selected paths and the buttons link to regular webpages. My problem is that as soon as I publish the work or open it up in frontpage, all the links to the buttons get activated and all the pages open up!!! How do I stop this from happening! It works fine when you click on the buttons individualy as well. Any suggestions on stopping this??

Button Within Mc Issue
hi everyone, i ran into this issue when working on a site recently and I don't know how to solve it. What i'm trying to do seems fairly simple but I keep running into this problem, so here it goes:

On this site the navigation system is the following - on the left side of the window there is a P and a B aligned vertically, sorta like this:
p
b

What i want to happen is when the mouse rolls over the 'pb' movieclip the p and b should split up (p goes up, b goes down), and the buttons should be revealed below (using a little bit of animated masking). I have that working right now, BUT the issue is that the buttons don't work. They just act like static text. So I figured the issue was that the buttons were in the same MC as the 'p' and 'b', which meant that they were subjected to the same rollOver and rollOut actionscript as the 'p' and the 'b'. So, I took the buttons out of the 'pb' mc and put them into their own mc. The problem now is that when I roll over the 'pb' mc, if the mouse touches the text of the buttons it thinks that it's rolling out of the 'pb' mc, which causes the p and the b to retract back to their original position. This seems like such a basic thing, I just want two objects to move away when the mouse rolls over them, revealing buttons below, but i can't seem to accomplish it any help would be GREATLY appreciated - I've attatched the project file so you can tinker with it.

Button Issue (anyone?)
Yeah, I've been from forum to forum on this and no one responds.. It's quite simple, yet nobody seems to know anything about it.

I'm using Flash MX. I have a web site. Three buttons on my "resources" page are not loading the links. Simple right? Can anyone help me fix this?

http://www.phunctional.com

It's not as hard as it looks. I just need those 3 buttons under "resources" to open links, I have the code but it's not doing anything when you click them (obviously).

Here is the button code:

Code:
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay(11);
}
on (release) {
//customize the window that gets opened
// 0 equals NO.
// 1 equals YES.
address = "http://www.phunctional.com/resource-news.html";
target_winName = "News";
width = 620;
height = 400;
toolbar = 0;
location = 0;
directories = 0;
status = 0;
menubar = 0;
scrollbars = 1;
resizable = 0;
//sends data back to the function
openWinCentre(address, target_winName, width, height, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable);

}

Ok, I've seen this problem once or twice with MCbuttons that have an animation to one frame, a stop action at another, and then an animation back to it's original state. Using the on (rollOver) & (rollOut) gotoAndPlay actions, the buttons work almost 95%. The problem is that if the user were to roll over them quickly like most do, the animation sticks at the first stop point and never goes to its on (rollOut) state which returns the button to its down state. If the user rolls over and keeps the mouse there for a sec and then rolls out and works perfectly. What gives? I thought it was the fact that the button was mainly comprised of text and not an actual shape (like a square or something) but then I added a 1% ALPHA square in the MC and it still has the same effect.

someone help!!!

The first two buttons on 1 frame work but the buttons on another frame don't work at all

Anyone care to have a look at it for me?

Button Issue -
I have this clip attached. I was hoping someone could tell me what error #1009 is and why I'm getting it here. This clip works fine WITHOUT the layer called prodbtn_rev (3rd layer). The reason I added it is because whent he movie moves to Frame 2, I wanted the rollover of the button to be reversed so it not highlighted and the 2nd button is only highlighted. If you play the clip without that layer I think you'll see what I mean. I hope I'm being clear enough. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks, Mark

Hi I am just trying to step into AS3 and it is proving to be a painful process. I am having a really basic problem. I want to disable a button when it is clicked and I also want to change its alpha value. Now I seem to be able to do one of these things but not both. I'm sure its very simple, could someone please point out the obvious. Here is my button code...

ActionScript Code:
function pressThumb(event:MouseEvent):void {

//colour this to make it selected
event.target.alpha=1;
//disable the button
event.target.mouseEnabled = false;
}

I have tried moving the mouseEnabled call to the top of the function but no change.

Oi Vei Button Issue
hello good folks. I've done a site (in Flash 5) and there is a slight issue evident when you click on the buttons in the following example. For some reason they "flicker" when going from scene to scene. Here is what I did:

I created the primary/intro scene with the proper stuff, then copied the last frame of each (about 14 items) item and placed in order in each scene (7 of them),seperate keyframe in each scene . Basicaly I am having the main parts of intro become the same in each scene (instead of a get movie type of setup), so they don't show up as moving. Anyway when I am in one scene, and go to another scene and click, my button where I just am seems to flicker, like it is being run (there is nothing to run). The buttons are simple...1sr frame is picture. at one size, 2nd frame is same picture at slightly larger size. and with text.
Here is the example example

Any info as to what I did wrong, or help would be appreciated

Thanks

Button Issue
I'm new to Flash and having a problem with buttons that have text in them. My buttons with out text work great. Anyway, the problem is that when I create a button with text, the hand that shows up when the mouse moves over it, only shows up and the button is clickable only when the mouse is positioned just right into alignment with the bottom edge of the button. Once I can click it, I can go exactly where intended. It's just a pain to have to align the mouse just right - users aren't going to know that and think the button doesn't work at all.

PLEASE HELP!

I've created a movie clip that I place in the over state of a button. (a glow that increases in size). This works fine, except, after I click and release, it plays the over state movieclip again. So the user rolls over the button, it plays the rolllover effect of the movieclip, they click and then it plays again. no good. I only want it to play on the first rollover not again after it's been clicked. What do I need to do?

Button Issue
I made a dynamic menu using flash. I would like for my first button to be a certain color (lets say green) when the movieClip loads, so I am using a script like this for the movieClip:

//----------------<partyMC option>-----------------\

partyMC.onEnterFrame = function () {
changeOptionColor(this, overColor);
};

partyMC.onRollOver = function () {
changeOptionColor(this, overColor);

};

partyMC.onRollOut = function () {
changeOptionColor(this, outColor);
};

partyMC.onRelease = function () {
reActivateBtns();
changeOptionColor(this, overColor);
this.enabled = false;
_level0.myMCL.loadClip("main.swf", 5);
};
//----------------</laMC option>-----------------\

I would like the color green to turn off when I press a new button, I know it doesn't change because I am using onEnterFrame, so is there an alternative script I would be able to use so when the movie loads a certain button is automatically what ever color I want?

I have made invisible buttons for animations on roll over/ roll out etc. I have been testing them for any bugs and found an issue. If you click and hold and drag off of the button area it does not read it as a roll out and therefore doesn't play the roll out animation. Is there anyway to fix it so that even if someone were to click and hold and drag off of the area it would still detect it as a roll out. Thanks.

If/else Button Issue
Ok so Im failrly new to AS but im pretty sure Im close to my goal..Basically I have this MC..and I want it to load on both sides of any button clicked on my site..However I can seem to figure out how to have the MC unload when u click on a diff button. The MC I made has been made with an "in" "out". So example: You click the Team button..the MC activates on both sides (the "in" animation of the MC) ..great..now say u click the product button..I want the MC to load the "out" animation and then load the "in" on the product button. heres my script so far: (Team button)

on (press) {
}
if (product_btn == "pressed") {
productswash1_mc.gotoAndPlay("out");
productswash2_mc.gotoAndPlay("out");
}
else {
teamswash1_mc.gotoAndPlay("in");
teamswash2_mc.gotoAndPlay("in");
}

Sorry for the lengthy message..but IM stumped. Let me know IF I didnt explain my prob enough. Thanks

RADIO BUTTON Issue
Hi,

This is a little advanced for me, so I hope someone can help me out!!

What I need to do:

XML is fed into my movie. From that, I have to DYNAMICALLY place a list of radio buttons on the stage. (they work as regular radio buttons). Essentially DRAW the correct number of buttons depending on the XML.

DRAWING THEM IS NO PROBLEM.
ASSIGING VALUES TO THEM IS NO PROBLEM.

The problem is this....

I have to draw them one at a time (I never know how many until the XML is read).

Therefore, the radio button MC's are not aware of each other, and radio buttons have to work as a group, or one big clip.

Is there a way to dynamically place MC's and THEN group them? OR force them all to OBEY the same timeline etc...???

Thanks in advance!!! Appreciate any feed back!!!

Button Playing MC Issue
I've currently got three buttons with Load Movie code. All works well.

When the buttons are clicked, the appropriate SWF plays in the correct place and continues to play until another button is clicked at which point the first SWF disappears and the second one begins.

I've attached an MC to the DOWN position of these buttons. The MC plays fine until the button is released, then the MC disappears.

How can I make it so the MC will play even after the mouse button is released. At the same time, the MC needs to dissapear (just as the SWF does) if/when a new button is clicked.

Here is the current code on one of the buttons.

on (release) {
_root.contents.loadMovie("HnOresize.swf");
}

What modifications need to be done with this code? Does it involve giving an instance name to the MC?

Thanks for your help.

Button Overlap Issue
Hey there . . .

I'm fairly new to flash, and am getting the hang of it. My problem is a simple one; I've created a calendar, and populated it with button symbols for events. I've set the button's 'over' keyframe to be much larger than the regular button, so that when the user mouses over a given date, that date pops up w/ info about the event on that date.

the problem I'm having is that when these pop-up, I get overlap problems; ie. the larger area of the pop-up frame is cut off by neighboring buttons. It seems to be some kind of priority; the ones I put down first are underneath all the others. Is there an easy way to make the button symbol overlap all neighboring symbols when moused over, but to allow itself to be overlapped when *not* moused over?

thanks in advance . . .

I have a button that changes upon a mouse rollover.

When the mouse rolls over the button, I want the change to occur slowly with a motion tween instead of an instant change.

When i double click the button to edit it, my options appear limited. I only have one box to work on "mouse over" and it wont let me insert frames in order to make the button change more gradual.

Please help!

Strange Button MC Issue
I have a weird issue which I have never experienced before. I created a button and then placed that button in an MC which I placed on the main stage. I assigned an action to that button to go to a different scene. For some reason, it doesn't work. But when I use the button on the main stage by itself, it works fine. I know I have created MCs with buttons in them before and they worked fine....what's the problem now???
This seems like such a basic routine...but can not explain the problem..
