How To Make A Selected Button When You Click?
I have several items on my menu. Let's say:
Button0
Button1
Button2
How to make a selected button when you click, initialize to "Button0" and when the user click to another button (ex: Button1 or Button2), the color will be switched to this new selected button??
thanks in advance,

[F8] Update Combobox Selected Item On A Button Click
I am working on a pagination module.
In the top of the page there is a list of items where I have to show only ten items and if there are more than ten items then a combo box will display 1 of 2, 1 of 3 etc., depending upon the number of items in the list. I have done it using XML and arrays and it is working fine.
But there is also a next and previous button which is also working but now what I want is suppose if we are in # 2 of 3 page and click on the previous button then the selected item of combo box should also change from 2 of 3 to 1 of 3.
Please let me know how should I do this.
Please let me know if I could not express myself clearly.

How To Make A Current Button Selected?
Hi all,
does anyone know how to make a current button selected?
Let's say I have 3 buttons in an array
current code:
Code:
package

var xPos:uint = 0;
for(var i=0;i<tabBtn.length;i++)
{
var button:buttonMC = new buttonMC();
button.buttonMode = true;
button.x = xPos;
xPos += button.width+5;
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, handleButton);

How Can I Make The Button Ignore An Event If No Radiobutton Is Selected?
I have a group of 5 radiobuttons and a "SUBMIT" button on the stage. A "SUBMIT" button listens to the radiobutton group and when clicked it gets data from the radiobuttons and traces the results.
ActionScript Code:
//CREATES A GROUP OF RADIOBUTTONS
this.createEmptyMovieClip("rb_container", this.getNextHighestDepth());
for (i=0; i<5; i++) {
rb_container.attachMovie("RadioButton", "rb_"+i, rb_container.getNextHighestDepth(), {label:"RadioButton "+i, data:"RadioButton "+i, _x:100, _y:20*i, groupName:"groupOptions"});
}
//CREATES SUBMIT BUTTON
createObject("Button", "abutton", this.getNextHighestDepth(), {label:"SUBMIT", _x:100, _y:120});
//CREATES A SUBMIT BUTTON LISTERNER
var submitListener:Object = new Object();
submitListener.click = function(oEvent:Object) {
trace("You selected "+rb_container.groupOptions.selection.data);
abutton._visible = false;
rb_container._visible = false;
};
abutton.addEventListener("click", submitListener);
Problem: The "SUBMIT" button responds to any click event, and returns "UNDEFINED" if no radiobutton is selected.
Question: How can I make the "SUBMIT" button ignore the click event if no radiobutton is selected, instead of returning "UNDEFINED"?

How To Make Button Stay Selected When Clicked (link To Webpage(
Hello. I have made a basic flash movie with several buttons. I have it currently to where each button, when you roll the mouse over the button, changes color. When you click on the button, it takes you to a webpage (the complete page is in an html frame, with the top frame being the flash movie, and the bottom frame, called "bottom" containing the linked webpage.
What I cannot figure out how to do keep the button in its selected state after it has been clicked (and the mouse leaves the button). I want each button to maintain it's "over" state when it has been clicked (its webpage is in the bottom frame) to show what page is currently loaded below. How can I do this? As is now, after clicking the button, the webpage loads below, but as soon as the mouse stops hovering over the button, the selected state goes away.
This is the code I have for each button for the link:
on (release) {
getURL("page.html","bottom");
}
Thank you very much for your help.

Make Array Items Appear On Button Click
Hi I have items stored in an array in a txt file.
word1= Italy&word2= Napoleon&word3= Garibaldi
AT the moment when the screen loads all the text appears in different dynamic text boxes.
I would like to change it so that I can have a button and when you press it it will make the words appear one at a time in just one text box.( to play jeopardy)
E.g. on 1st press it would make word1 appear, then if you continue pressing it the word2 and then word3 will appear in turn.
At the moment I load it like this
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("Jeopardy words.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
topic1.text = this.word1;
topic2.text = this.word2;
topic3.text = this.word3;
};
I've looked through tutorials on this and other sites but I can't find one which does exactly what I am wanting.
Cheers
Lesley

Make Button Not Play Sound On Click, Only On Rollover, With Out Screwing Up Anything
okay, here is my problem, and no one has been able to give me a solution that really works,
I can't figure this out. The home button works perfectly, the other buttons arn't working the same way. I don't want to use stopallsounds, because I am going to be adding in sounds on click and I don't want stopallsounds to be interfering. When I had the other buttons the exact same way as the home button the other buttons would play the sound continuously. I changed them and now the best I can do is that they play once on roll over, but will play once when I click as well, which I of course do not want. I want to get rid of the sound playing on click.
Can anyone help me with this with out either making the animation not play on click, or rearanging resetsubbuttons so that the buttons are reset after or during the animation taking place. Thank you.

[as 2][help] Make TextField Selected...?
like when you click on a textfield (say in an HTML form or whatever) and all the text is selected as you do so, so that you can click, then just type to replace what's there. can I do this with actionScript? I looked through the documentation and couldn't find anything that looked like it was setting the text to selected..
I know I can delete all the text on SetFocus, but I don't want to do that. This is for a crossword puzzle, and I don't want peeps to be deleting their entries just by clicking them.

Can't Make A Right-click Menu? Make A Middle-click Menu
Since so many people are always wanting to make a context menu that appears at the mouse position, and because it's such a pain to get rid of the flash right-click menu (and the methods i've seen are not cross browser) I decided to go about finding a way to make a middle-click menu. Most mice these days have a mousewheel and the vast majority of those mousewheels also act as a 3rd button if you push down on them. So here is the result of my labor. A way to detect the middle mouse up and down actions in Flash.
Code:
Mouse.toggle = false;
setInterval(TestMidMouse, 40);
function TestMidMouse() {
if (asNative(800, 2)(4) == true && Mouse.toggle == false) {
Mouse.broadcastMessage("onMidMouseDown");
Mouse.toggle = true;
} else if (asNative(800, 2)(4) == false && Mouse.toggle == true) {
Mouse.toggle = false;
Mouse.broadcastMessage("onMidMouseUp");
}
}
myListener = new Object();
myListener.onMidMouseDown = function() {
trace("middle button down");
};
myListener.onMidMouseUp = function() {
trace("middle button up");
};
Mouse.addListener(myListener);
In case you're wondering, asNative is an undocumented feature of flash. It refers to the native function table that resides in the flash player. asNative(800, 2)(4) returns true or false depending on weather the middle mouse is down or up respectively. FYI, replacing the 4 with other numbers activates for other buttons (including keyboard keys). 1 is left click, 2 is right click, 3 doesn't seam to do anything, 4 is the middle mouse button, 5 is a 4th mouse button if mouse has one. Here is the most extensive reference for the asNative function that I have found. I suppose you could do the same thing with Key.isDown(), but messing with undocumented stuff is so much cooler .
If anybody does know a way to get rid of flashes right-click menu, reliably and across multiple browsers please post it here because this method could easily be converted into right-click detection.

Selected Button In AS 3
greetings all
hopefully a short question
i have a batch of buttons.
now in the past (as 2) i had this very simple check to see if the button was clicked, meanwhile the other buttons got back to its original state, via this simple code
Code:
var selectedM:MovieClip;
BUTTON.onRelease = function() {
if (selectedM != this) {
selectedM.enabled = true;
}
//if an item is selected we make sure the item can't be triggered again.
selectedM = this;
selectedM.enabled = false;
now in AS 3. it seems to be a different story
i tried:
Code:
var selectedM:MovieClip;
function clicker(e:Event){
if (selectedM != e.target)
{
selectedM.enabled = true;
}
selectedM = e.target;
e.target.enabled = false;
}
//for loop has BUTTON.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clicker)
or where e.target is i tried to replace it with "this" but all to no avail
i am probally looking over something but if anyone could give me a go, i'd be very thankfull
cheers

[F8] Button Selected State
I'm working on my first website and I need my buttons to have selected states that indicate which section the user is in. Now I'm assuming that I would want to go with movieclips for buttons, using frame one for off state, frame two for the over state, and frame three for the selected state.
But this seems like a lot of coding to me. For instance if home_btn is in the selected state, then I would have to code all other buttons to send home_btn to off state when any of them are selected. Is there an easier way to do this that I'm not seeing? I have several buttons and I really don't want to have to copy tons of code to each button. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for you time and any help you can provide.
