Flash :: Movie Replays When Button Is Clicked Twice. MAKE IT STOP

How To Make Button Retain Movie Clip When Clicked?
I am making a flash navigation menu with sub menus for my site. As you can see in the action script below, I got the rollover, release and displaying the actual sub menu content with links.

on (rollOver) {
nosotros_mc.gotoAndPlay("rover");
}
on (rollOut, releaseOutside) {
nosotros_mc.gotoAndPlay("rout");
}
on (release) {
submenus.gotoAndPlay("nosotros");
}

The thing I don't know how to do is to have the parent menu button stay with its movie clip without rolling out after I click on it. Here is an exact example of what I am talking about... http://www.templatemonster.com/websi...tes/13405.html
When you click on a button, the blue animation actually stays, and is only removed when you click on another button.

Here is what I am working on... http://gestionycontratas.com/index.php
-I just want my blue square to stay on when I click on it, and to go away when I click on another button.

I would really appreciate your help here. Thanks in advance.

Button Replays Movie - Why?
Hello wise and wonderful Flash experts - As you can probably see from my recent posts, I am an idiot. BUT I am an idiot that needs to work so regardless of my limited FL experience I am jumping into Flash with both feet. New-ish to action script - using Flash 5.

SO here is my problem - In the attached file I have two mc - one (cpya)plays right away. On the button event ("more") I want "cpya" to stop and "BEE" to start. Simple right - I have the following code:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay ("BEE");
}

but instead of going to BEE it replays from frame 1 of scene 1.

I have named the Instance BEE - the Frame Label BEE and even the symbol BEE - they are all on the same time line - WHY !!!!!????? Is my script for the typewriter effect wrong maybe?? If so why does it work for the first one?

Thank you so very much!!!

Stop Looping FLV When Another Button Clicked?
Hey all flash genius' out there.

Ive searched the blogs but cant really find a solution for my problem.

I spent alot of time searching for a solution to loop an FLV on my stage.. the best solution i found was from the Adobe site and that was
to put a appropriately sized flv component on the stage and use the following code..

import fl.video.*;

// Video component instance name
var flvControl = display;
var flvSource = "e.g/Users/url.flv";

// Loop the video when it completes
function completeHandler(event:VideoEvent):void
{
flvControl.seek(0);
flvControl.play()
}
flvControl.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, completeHandler);

// Set video
flvControl.source = flvSource;

This works great! so if anyone is still struggling with that specific problem.

My issue now is that when i click another button to load another clip, is that i can still hear it playing the movie on loop in the background, so to click back on this button just dobles up the clip and the audio..

Is there any additional script that i can write that will recognize that i have clicked another button so to stop it?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Cheers

How To Make Button Unclickable After Clicked
Hi,

I guess it's the basics, but I'm a newbie - I have a main.swf with navigation buttons, each loading a different external swf to an empty mc in main.swf on release of button. For example, the code I have on a button labeled "Gallery" is -

Code:
on (release) {
content.loadMovie("gallery.swf");
}
If I press a button, it works well - the matching external swf is loaded on release. The problem is, the button I've just pressed remains clickable - so by clicking it again, it reloads the same swf that's currently on the empty mc, and naturally, it creates unwelcomed visual effect.

I figure I need to make each button unclickable after it was pressed, and clickable again if another button was just pressed, or something similar. I also want the button (a static text inside) to change to another color after it is pressed, and revert to the original color if another button was just pressed.

I'm using flash cs3 with AS 2.0, but have a very meager knowledge in scripting - if the solution involves AS code, I would appreciate to know on which object to put it (e.g. "on each button" etc.) and where exactly inside the script to put it (e.g. "before/after the on (release) code" etc.).

Thanks for helping

Make Button Stay A Certain Colour Once Clicked?
I have my button which is red. On rollover, it fades to blue, and on rollout it fades back to red - fine. But what if i wanted it so that once the button had been clicked, it turned green and stayed green so a user would know that the button had been used (you often see this sort of thing in image galleries as you will have seen) Of course, on rollover and rollout the green button would not fade between red and blue as it does originally, but would still need to be active for loading in external swf files etc

Can you help me with this? an old fla or a tutorial perhaps?

I use mx - NOT mx 2004

Thank you.

When Menu Button Mc Clicked, Make It Non-clickable
Hi there. I have a movieclip with 6 movieclips inside, all these are basic text inside and act as menu buttons.

I'm trying to think of an AS 3.0 way to make it so when i click on one of the links, it can not be clicked again until another menu item is clicked.

How could i do this?

here is my code

Code:
stop();

//btn_link
main.btn_link.buttonMode = true
main.btn_link.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn_home_click_handler);

menu.btn_home.buttonMode = true
menu.btn_home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn_home_click_handler);
function btn_home_click_handler(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(2)
}

menu.btn_about.buttonMode = true
menu.btn_about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn_about_click_handler);

gotoAndPlay(3)
}

menu.btn_events.buttonMode = true
menu.btn_events.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn_events_click_handler);
function btn_events_click_handler(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(4)
}

menu.btn_gallery.buttonMode = true
menu.btn_gallery.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn_gallery_click_handler);

gotoAndPlay(5)
}

menu.btn_guestList.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn_guestList_click_handler);
function btn_guestList_click_handler(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(6)
}

menu.btn_private.buttonMode = true
menu.btn_private.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn_private_click_handler);
function btn_private_click_handler(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(7)
}

menu.btn_contact.buttonMode = true
menu.btn_contact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn_contact_click_handler);
function btn_contact_click_handler(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(8)
}

How Do You Make A Button Or Mc Move Its Position After Being Clicked
This is the code I have in my actions frame now. It works, but the button "george" only moves up one interval on each click. How can I make line 3 repeat the action until george._y = 40?

Code:
moveVar = 40;
george.onRelease = function(){
george._y += (moveVar - george._y) / 2;
}
I would appreciate any ideas or alternate solutions.

Want To Make A Button That When Clicked Launches Email
helpp i'm trying to make a button that when someone clicks it it will open up their email and have the given address in the address box already...i cant find a way to do this in actionscript 3

Make Button GotoAndPlay When Another Button Is Clicked
ok. next dilemma.

once the button is pressed it stops on frame 16. there will be several other buttons. what i'd like to happen is that when another button is pressed the previous button that was pressed (which would currently be on 16) will gotoAndPlay frame 17 which animates it and makes it known to the user that they have already clicked it.

here is the code i have right now which all it currently does is make the frame stop on 16 when it is clicked. i'm not sure what the best way to go with the code on making it jump to frame 17 when another button is clicked. i've included the fla file for reference.

if i used something like:
if (button1._currentframe==16)
gotoAndPlay(17)
then i would have to create this code for every instanced button...which could be time consuming if there are around 30 buttons or so.....

stop();
this.onRollOver = function() {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
this.onRollOut = function() {
this.gotoAndPlay(3);
}
this.onPress = function() {
delete this.onRollOver;
delete this.onRollOut;
this.gotoAndStop(16);
}

Make Square Snap Back To Different Position After Button Is Clicked.
I can't figure out how to do this, I have tried a bunch of different things and none of them work, maybe someone will have an idea. Basically, I have a navigation bar created in flash, you roll over a button, the square daintily floats over to it using code, not motion tween. Then when you roll off the button, the square floats back to home. I want, when I click on another button, for the square to then always snap back to the button that was clicked on, and float over the other ones on roll over. Below is the flash file of the nav bar. Thanks for your time.

Make Square Snap Back To Different Position After Button Is Clicked
No one could give me the answer in the Flash MX forum. This is either an actionscript issue or javascript, can't really tell the two apart. Anyway, I can't figure out how to do this, I have tried a bunch of different things and none of them work.

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.

I have a flash menu that the buttons slide in. When you click on one of the buttons it links off to an html page. When a user pushes the back button on their browser, the buttons slide in again, is there any way to stop this, when they go back it should just be the buttons in their final positions.

Thanks

Animation Replays And Replays
When I test my project in flash it keeps playing. Here is my script. My teacher said it would do something like this but she could not figure out the problem. If you need any more info feel free to ask. thank you.

var myIntro:URLRequest = new URLRequest("intro.swf");

var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
myLoader.load(myIntro);

var skipthis:skipit = new skipit();

skipthis.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, entersite);

function entersite(event:MouseEvent):void{
removeChild(myLoader);
removeChild(skipthis);
gotoAndStop(3);
}

myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Progre ssEvent.PROGRESS, showProgress);

myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event. COMPLETE, showContent);

function showProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void{
var percentLoaded:Number = event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal;
loading_txt.text="Loading - " + Math.round(percentLoaded*100) + "%";
bar_mc.width = 198*percentLoaded;
}

function showContent(event:Event):void{
removeChild(bar_mc);
removeChild(loading_txt);
addChild(myLoader);
}

Here are the errors it gave me.

A Flash Movie That Replays From Where It Left Off
Can anyone think of how to make a flash movie play from the frame that the individual view last saw ?

[MX] Transition Problem, Replays Same Movie
Hey everyone,
First I just wanted to thank everyone for thier contributions in these forums and tutorials. I'm a broke musician trying to assemble a website for myself and this site has been invaluable in getting me on my way.

OK - the structure of the site is there is a main movie, which loads a gallery section movie, which will load 2 different image sets. I am using the 'transitions between external SWFs' model to transition between image sets. When I play the gallery swf independently, it switched between image sets fine. When I play the main movie, which loads the gallery, then both buttons (which reside in the gallery movie) load whichever image set I choose first. So if I first click the 2nd set button, then the 1st set button also loads the 2nd set; conversly if I choose the 1st set first, then the 'set 2' button will load the 1st set. Wow, I hope that makes sense.

I'm really a newb at this, but I wonder if it has to do with the fact that the gallery movie is loaded into another parent movie? Does the code from the tute need to be changed to account for this? (since it works fine when it doesn't load into another movie) Also, I used the code for the 1st set to load automatically but it doesn't work.

Thanks people, have a good T-day

Move Movie Out When Button Is Clicked
Hi,
It's been about a year and a half since I last used flash (MX 2004) so my skills are way rusty! Right now I'm looking for a tutorial on how to move a movie out when a button is clicked.

I'm creating a navigation menu that will move a movie clip into place (animation). When another button is clicked in the nav menu, I want the first movie to animate out before the new movie animates in. I'm not sure how else to explain it!

Anyone know of any good tutorials that can get me started?
Thanks,
Andrea

When A Button Is Clicked, Sound In External Movie Stops
Hi,

I was wondering about how I can prevent my sounds from stopping when I go to the next frame of my Flash site.

The way I have it all set up is this:

I have individual buttons that are to play a certain sound when clicked. Right now, I have it so that an external movie is loaded when the buttons are clicked but when I go to the Artwork section, the loaded sound stops.

This is the code:

code:
on release {
_root.Gates.loadMovie("http://www.geocities.com/valerian5200/Gates.swf")

Would changing loadMovie to loadMovieNum work?
