Flash :: ROLL_OVER Button State "jumpy"?

ROLL_OVER Button State "jumpy"?
I have created a circle where each sector (piece of pie) is a button which has a rollover state. All works fine as long as I move into a pice of the pie from the outside and leave via this path. As soon as I move from one piece to the next, everything becomes jumpy and in fact I can turn on several rollovers at the same time.
This happens regardless of me using a stop for the tweening.

See:
http://www.spallek.com/flash/freevis_menu.html

Here is the code for one piece of the pie (I also noticed that the hit area is not "solid" meaning its not over the whole sector despite the fact that the mc is exactly the shape of the sector--maybe related?):

Down State In Drop Down Menu-then Return To Up State When Other Button Is Clicked?
Hi - nice to meet everyone,

The drop down menu I'm referring to is located in the main movie. The menu is a movie clip with the buttons inside and I have each button as 'track as menu item' in the properties. The buttons are linked to external swfs that load into an empty movie clip on the main stage. Everything loads perfectly no problem. The problem is that I can't seem to figure out the right code to put on the sub-menu items/buttons in the drop down menu to show the 'down' state when the corresponding movie is loaded (i.e., about-main button, philosophy [menu item], philosophy movie loaded). Then get it to go back to the 'up' state when another button is pressed in the same drop area part of the menu? I hope I explained myself clear enough without confusing anyone!

I would appreciate any help - I think I'm going to lose my mind - this is driving me crazy!!

Thanks - Allee

Button States - How To Keep Button On Rollover State When Clicked.
on (rollOver) {
this.btn_about.gotoAndPlay("mouseover");
setProperty(this.btn_about, _x, 25);
setProperty(this.btn_about, _y, 29);
}
on (rollOut) {
this.btn_about.gotoAndPlay("mouseout");
}

on(release){
_parent.gotoAndStop("about");
}

There's my button code. Now a rundown on my delima.

I have a movie "company.swf" that is loaded into an empty MC "content" that is located within my main movie "main.swf". My buttons are all located inside an MC "subnav" inside of company.swf. I have seperate MC's for each button with an actual button with just a "hit" area. I would like each button to stay in the rollover state when clicked so a user knows where they are in each section. I hope I'm being clear here. My rollover and rollout works fine.

Please help!! Thanks

Movie Clip Within Button - How Do You Disable Down State Of Button?
Hi - I have created a menu down the side of my flash site which is in the form of a button so that when the user rolls over the button, it brings up the menu. Within, this button is just text - the names for each page the user can select to go to (text is within movie clips so I can add actionscript to them).

However, I want to add on (press) {gotoAndPlay("home",1); } etc for each movie clip within this button but when i test the site, this code does not work as the buttons down state has priority over the movie clips within it.

Is there some actionscript code which could disable the down state of a button? (as i only need the button as a rollover anyway and i need the movie clips within the button to have priority in terms of actionscript for linkage etc)

Thanks

Roll_over & Roll_out
Hello,

I have a navigation section that i want to fade in whenever the entire navsection has an active cursor over it. The navsection also includes a series of button_mc's that allow the user to navigate.

I have the Nav Section (instance named bg) animating properly, but whenever i move from 1 button to the next, it replays the alpha fade in.

Here's my code:

Code:
package {

import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.text.*;
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;

public class Sfgdc extends MovieClip {

public var sfStat:Boolean = false;

// create a new LocalConnection instance used to send
// calls to a LocalConnection instance in another movie
var outgoing_lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();

public function Sfgdc() {

visitors.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, myOver);
visitors.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, myOff);
visitors.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, linkVisitors);
visitors.buttonMode = true;

online.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, myOver);
online.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, myOff);
online.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, linkOnline);
online.buttonMode = true;

help.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, myOver);
help.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, myOff);
help.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, linkHelp);
help.buttonMode = true;

textv.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, myOver);
textv.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, myOff);
textv.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadError);
textv.buttonMode = true;

}

function myTrace(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace("Home --> Click");
}
function myOver(event:MouseEvent):void {
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(bg.cover_mc, "alpha", Strong.easeIn, 0, 1, .15, true);
}
function myOff(event:MouseEvent):void {
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(bg.cover_mc, "alpha", Strong.easeIn, 1, 0, .15, true);
}

function linkVisitors(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace("Home --> linkVisitors");
outgoing_lc.send("Channel", "linkVisitors");
}
function linkOnline(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace("Home --> linkOnline");
outgoing_lc.send("Channel", "linkOnline");
}
function linkHelp(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace("Home --> linkHelp");
outgoing_lc.send("Channel", "linkHelp");
}
function linkTextv(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace("Home --> linkText");
outgoing_lc.send("Channel", "linkText");
}
function loadError(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace("Home --> Error");
outgoing_lc.send("Channel", "myError");
}
}
}

So in other words, when i go from 1 button to the next, it plays the ROLL_OUT and creates a flash effect. I'd prefer it that if it was within the main Nav Section it just stayed opaque.

ROLL_OVER, ROLL_OUT Looping
Hi all, I am working on a small file and am having a very frustrating time dealing with uncontrollable looping of a an actionscripted animation. Basically I have a series of pins and a series of labels. When you mouse over the pin a a label appears. If I set it up to only appear and not disappear it works fine. When I have the ROLL_OVER set to have the label appear and the ROLL_OUT set to have it disappear it loops like crazy. I can't figure out how to get it to do each operation once only and then reset itself once the mouse is off of the pin location. I have included my code for any pointers. I have tried calling button operations as functions and directly embedding it in the button script. I included my FLA as well. Thanks so much!

ActionScript Code:
stop();

import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

var pinMiamiTween:Tween = new Tween(pinMiami, "y", Strong.easeIn, -50, 151, 1, true);
var pinWeymouthTween:Tween = new Tween(pinWeymouth, "y", Strong.easeIn, -50, 106, 1.5, true);
var pinScotlandTween:Tween = new Tween(pinScotland, "y", Strong.easeIn, -50, 96, 1.25, true);

var i:int = 1;
sailMiami.alpha = 0;

pinMiami.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,miamiOver);
function miamiOver(MouseEvent) {
if (i==1) {
var pinMiamiTweenIn:Tween = new Tween(sailMiami, "x", Strong.easeOut, 200, 287, 1, true);
var pinMiamiAlphaIn:Tween = new Tween(sailMiami, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 1, 3, true);
i = 2;
}
}

pinMiami.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,miamiOut);
function miamiOut(MouseEvent) {
if (i==2) {
var pinMiamiAlphaOut:Tween = new Tween(sailMiami, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 1, 0, 1, true);
i=1;
}
}

ROLL_OVER Behavior Inconsistent
I am working on a series of puzzle games.

Each piece is a movie clip. When the mouse rolls over a piece, its child object movie clip, called the "rotation mark", appears on the piece. (This is to allow the user to rotate the piece by clicking on it). When the mouse leaves the piece the rotation mark disappears.

I accomplish this by way of ROLL_OVER and ROL_OUT event handlers on the piece movie clip. On ROLL_OVER I simply set the rotation mark movie clip's visible property to true, and on ROLL_OUT I set it to true.

Here is what it looks like. (The mouse cursor doesn't get captured when you take a screen shot in Windows.)

When the mouse is moved over the rotation mark, inconsistent behaviour results:

1) When I try it with Control -> Test Movie in Flash it still seems to be considered "over" the piece.

2) However when I run the SWF embedded in an HTML file, moving the mouse over the rotation mark results in the piece dispatching a ROLL_OUT event.
(This causes the rotation mark to blink because when it's gone the piece fires ROLL_OVER, causing it to reappear, which causes the piece to fire ROLL_OUT again, ad infinitum.)

3) When I try it with Debug -> Debug Movie in Flash I get the same result as 2 above.

Why are these different? What is the expected behaviour.

One thing you may note is that all the MCs here (pieces as well as rotation mark) are loaded assets from external library SWFs. Before, when I had them all in a single SWF that was running I was getting the same results as 1 above in all cases. It was after I changed my design to have use a shell SWF and external libraries that this inconsistent behaviour began.

Any thoughts or ideas?

ROLL_OVER & ROLL_OUT Problems
Hello everyone,
I'm new to AS 3.0 and I'm trying to make a set of simple thumbnails with roll over and roll out effect. When I roll over one thumbnail in a row it has to scale up, and other thumbnails have to move to left and right respectively, and when I roll out everything has to go to it's original place. Problem is, when I roll out from one thumbnail and roll over the other one directly, other thumbnails don't go to their original position. I'm using Tween class for thumbnail motion and I suppose that I need to use TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH but don't know how exactly...

I attached .fla and .as file, so if anyone can help I would appreciate it!

Sorry for my English...

ROLL_OVER / ROLL_OUT Issue
I'm in the process of writing a 'elastic' tooltip class, where the tooltip follows the mouse with a small delay, making it look like an 'elastic' effect.

You can se an example here:
http://www.2xmedie.dk/develop/tooltip/
(Try to touch the tooltip with the mouse)

Sourcefiles here:
http://www.2xmedie.dk/develop/tooltip/source.rar

There's one issue though: When the mousepointer touches the tooltip it self, it causes an MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT on the target movieclip
This is causing the tooltip movieclip to 'flicker' since ROLL.OVER and ROLL.OUT are called constantly.

Can I some how, make sure, that the MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT is NOT called, when the mousepointer touches the tooltip movieclip?

I was looking at the method preventDefault() - but I'm not sure how to implement it.

Can someone please advice?

Roll_over & Roll_out Problems
Hello, I'm a newbie to the max. First off, I'm thankful that there are forums like this to help me out, it's very challenging but since I'm just beginning and I need all the help I can get.

Code:
stop();

btnGroup.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, target, false, 0, true);
btnGroup.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, out, false, 0, true);
btnGroup.mouseEnabled = true;
btnGroup.buttonMode = true;

var btnName:String = "";

function target(evt:MouseEvent):void {
btnName = evt.target.name;
gotoAndStop(btnName);
}
function out(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay('first');
}
I've created all the movieclip buttons, and I put them all on stage to create a btnGroup. I'm not quite sure if they (btn1, btn2, etc.) have instance names EACH, so that might be a problem. The btnGroup is the one on stage, none of the btns are. The btnGroup has an instance name, and I've created empty frame labels. The problem, when I Test Movie, is that it just plays through the movie and does not stop anywhere, nor is there a "hand" to click any of the buttons. btn1 is the only one prepared for the roll over effect as of now, and thats why there are no more keyframes in the text1 layer.

When there is a rollover, I want static text to appear and the rollout is to start over, empty on stage.

Image Is Replaced On ROLL_OVER?
How can I display a still image on the stage that loads on the first
frame and when the user rolls over a button, the button plays a movie
clip in place of the still image? So the image is temporarily swapped
with the movie clip.

I am currently using the following code provided in another thread to
make the movie clip play onrollover:

function showGraphic(event:MouseEvent):void {
mSymbol.visible = true;
}

function hideGraphic(event:MouseEvent):void {
mSymbol.visible = false;
}

btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, showGraphic);

btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, hideGraphic);

I am also using the following code to hide the movie clip on load:

mSymbol.visible = false;

Thanks!!!

AS3 Sound On Mouse Roll_over
hi... i've been experimenting with some buttons in AS3 and sounds... actually the buttons are movie clips and i'm trying to attach a sound to the ROLL_OVER action...
i used this code:

Code:
var buttonSound:Sound = new Sound();
var buttonSoundControl:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();

buttonSound.load(new URLRequest("buttonsound.mp3"));

button_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, RollOverListener);

function RollOverListener(e:MouseEvent):void
{
e.currentTarget.gotoAndStop(2)
e.currentTarget.buttonMode = true;
buttonSoundControl = buttonSound.play();
e.currentTarget.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ClickListener);
}
so this code works.. but it loads the sound externally... and after a few minutes of browsing through the website the roll_over sound becomes laggy... i'm guessing it's because it loads over and over in the memory when hovering the buttons.. btw here is the website so you can try it for yourself:http://www.test.bvbusinessconsulting.ro/

my idea is to attach the sound to the swf file... i know that in AS2 there was a function attachSound() but this one is missing in AS3 and has now equivalent...
so if someone could help me on this one i would be really greateful!!

thanks in advanced!

ROLL_OVER, ROLL_OUT Interfering With Each Other?
I made a few movieclip buttons and when I when I roll my mouse over them they work just fine. They have an Over and an Out animation.

However, if I move my mouse around somewhat quickly over them all, the Over state for the button will stay on. They're only supposed to be active one at a time. I can move the pointer all around and the buttons won't always ROLL_OUT as I roll out and the ROLL_OVER state will stay on.

This isn't the first time I've had this happen. What can make these buttons work more efficiently when moving your mouse quickly over them?

Here is my AS3.

Actionscript Code:
but3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onButOver);but3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onButOut);but2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onButOver);but2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onButOut);but1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onButOver);but1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onButOut);
function onButOver (event:MouseEvent) { event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("over");}function onButOut (event:MouseEvent) { event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("out");}

There has to be a way to do this. I have been to sites where I can roll over as fast as I want and the states will change. I can roll in and out of one button really quick and leave it in the ON state without it rolling out.

EDIT: This seems to only happen when the buttons are closer together. So picture 3 circles (100x100) about 15 pixels apart. Any help would be appreciated!!!

AS3 - Stage Listener For ROLL_OVER
Hi!

When I add an event listener that listens for ROLL_OVER on the stage, it doesn't work. I know MOUSE_OVER works but that fire:s on every enterframe and that's not what I want. So, how come ROLL_OVER doesnt work and how does one create this kind of listener for the stage? I just want to know if the mouse is somewhere within the stage, adding some kind of old school "clickArea" MC or something like that just doesn't seem to be the best solution...

Ideas anyone?

Simple ROLL_OVER Question.
Hey i'm sure this is a simple question for someone, I have a header im working on thats is flash, and is basically images with a rollover and rollout using a class. Most the time it works without a hitch but sometimes it gets stuck between the rollover and rollout and pulsates. Should i apply the rollout when the tween is finished? Thanks! Any help appreciated.

Code:

package
{
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.*;
import flash.display.*;
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
import flash.filters.DropShadowFilter;

public class PARTYPURPOSE extends MovieClip
{
   public function PARTYPURPOSE()
   {
   addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onOver);
   addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onOut);
   }

   public function onOver(event:MouseEvent):void
   {
   Tweener.addTween(event.target, { scaleX:.75, scaleY:.75, time:.5 } );
   event.target.filters = [new DropShadowFilter(0,0,0x000000,90,20,20,.8,3)];
   stage.addChild(this);
   }

   public function onOut(event:MouseEvent):void
   {
   Tweener.addTween(event.target, { scaleX:.5, scaleY:.5, time:1 } );
   event.target.filters = [];
   }

} //ends class
} // ends package

and here you can see the actual application:

Button Down State
I am trying to create a flash simulation of a security keypad. One of the required features is that a different action occur if the user holds down the button for 3 seconds rather than just releasing it. To accurately mimic the real-life keypad after the button has been held for three seconds certain lights should begin to flash and events trigger before the button is released.

I have tried countless things and none of them seem to be working. Is there a way to check the state of a button so I could do a "Do while" loop based upun it still being pressed?

Any nudging in the right direction is very appreciated.

Button Down State
I'm not really a newb with flash but, I have never figured out an easy way to keep the state of a button, once it is selected, down. I used to just superimpose a phantom image of the button's down state over it when the timeline jumped to a selected frame. Is there an easier way to do this? Im no longer jumping to frames but instead loading movies, so this tactic doesnt work (and its a pain in the
$%#!)

Thanks for any advise. Much appreciated.

Hi All,

Is it possible to disable a particular button state in the run time. i.e., A button having over, down state, when moves from frame 1 to 2 the down state should be disabled and when it comes back to frame 1 it should be enabled, I can't have two buttons for that and it got to be the same button

Hope its clear!!

3 State Button
I would like to create a button (or perhaps a mc that acts like a button?) that has three states :

1. a normal "off" state

2. a highlighted "rollover" state (which amounts to putting a white square graphic behind the first, normal button)

3. an engaged, "clicked" state (with an additional black border around the white square rollover state) that remains a different button is clicked -- unlike the 'down' frame in a button symbol, which only remains WHILE the mouse is down.

Is it possible to do all of this via actionscript ?

I should say that I have about 30 of these to do, so I'd REAALLLLY like to find a way to do it with code.

Currently, the only way the animation will play all the way through is if the user holds down the mouse button. Is there any way for the animation to play with a single click?

Button State
in my program i have a map of a building which consists of various buttons. Each of these button represent a different room. When the user clicks on a button they are taken to a new room (a new 360 panorama). I'd like the button which they clicked on to remain in an up state until they click on another button. Does anyone know how i could go about doing this?

Any help would be really appreciated, thanks!

Button On State?
Hey guys,

First of all I'd like to thank everyone who's helped me so far in getting on board with AS3. It's been a tough transition for me from AS2, but I've really been enjoying it and am really stoked about the results I'm getting.

That said, here's another thing I can't seem to figure out: the button on state. I've done everything in actionscript, some of it not so clean simply because I'm just not there yet, but everything is so much smoother in terms of execution so I'm trying to stick with it. What happens in this file is that when a button is clicked, the little arrow to the left shows up. But I also want the over state of the button to become the on state (i.e., the lined darker color).

The button code is just spread across three frames in a movieClip with stop and easing scripts. The main timeline code is here:

ActionScript Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

//ANIMATION STUFF
content_mc.visible = false;

var redBoxTweenY:Tween = new Tween(redbox_mc, "y", Strong.easeOut, -110, 0, 20, false);
var bluBoxTweenY:Tween = new Tween(blubox_mc, "y", Strong.easeOut, 526, 106, 20, false);
bluBoxTweenY.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, nextTween);

function nextTween(e:TweenEvent){
content_mc.visible = true;
var contentFade:Tween = new Tween(content_mc, "alpha", None.easeNone, 0, 1, 20, false);
bluBoxTweenY.removeEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, nextTween);
}

//NAVIGATION
manifesto_mc.buttonMode = true;
manifesto_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, navOver);
manifesto_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, navOut);
manifesto_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, contentManifesto);

team_mc.buttonMode = true;
team_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, navOver);
team_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, navOut);
team_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, contentTeam);

partners_mc.buttonMode = true;
partners_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, navOver);
partners_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, navOut);
partners_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, contentPartners);

tech_mc.buttonMode = true;
tech_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, navOver);
tech_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, navOut);
tech_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, contentTech);

accolades_mc.buttonMode = true;
accolades_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, navOver);
accolades_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, navOut);
accolades_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, contentAccolades);

function navOver(e:MouseEvent):void {
e.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("OVER");
}

function navOut(e:MouseEvent):void {
e.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("OUT");
}

function contentManifesto(e:MouseEvent):void {
var myTween1:Tween = new Tween(content_mc, "x", Strong.easeInOut, content_mc.x, 280, 1, true);
var myTween2:Tween = new Tween(arrows_mc, "alpha", None.easeNone, 0, 1, 1, true);
arrows_mc.x = 6;
arrows_mc.y = 12;
}

function contentTeam(e:MouseEvent):void {
var myTween1:Tween = new Tween(content_mc, "x", Strong.easeInOut, content_mc.x, -270, 1, true);
var myTween2:Tween = new Tween(arrows_mc, "alpha", None.easeNone, 0, 1, 1, true);
arrows_mc.x = 6;
arrows_mc.y = 30;
}

function contentPartners(e:MouseEvent):void {
var myTween1:Tween = new Tween(content_mc, "x", Strong.easeInOut, content_mc.x, -820, 1, true);
var myTween2:Tween = new Tween(arrows_mc, "alpha", None.easeNone, 0, 1, 1, true);
arrows_mc.x = 6;
arrows_mc.y = 48;
}

function contentTech(e:MouseEvent):void {
var myTween1:Tween = new Tween(content_mc, "x", Strong.easeInOut, content_mc.x, -1370, 1, true);
var myTween2:Tween = new Tween(arrows_mc, "alpha", None.easeNone, 0, 1, 1, true);
arrows_mc.x = 6;
arrows_mc.y = 66;
}

function contentAccolades(e:MouseEvent):void {
var myTween1:Tween = new Tween(content_mc, "x", Strong.easeInOut, content_mc.x, -1920, 1, true);
var myTween2:Tween = new Tween(arrows_mc, "alpha", None.easeNone, 0, 1, 1, true);
arrows_mc.x = 6;
arrows_mc.y = 84;
}

I've also attached the FLA. If anyone has any suggestions or even pointers on a better way to do this, that'd be awesome!

Thanks, guys.

Button Hit State
hey guys, quick question. I have an mc that is over a button on the mainstage. I have the rollover and rollout script that makes the MC play. Im having problems with the script that makes the mc go to the last frame if the user clicks on the button.

I have tried this,
on release { _root.mc1 (gotoAndStop (8);
}

But as soon as I rollout, the mc plays backwards to frame one.
Ive tried also to remove the rollover script in frame 8, but for some reason this didnt work either??
How can I get the MC to stop at frame 8 with an on release script?
Thanks,
Josh

Button Dwn State
Hi,

I am having some trouble with my buttons. THe way my navigation is set up is that the buttons are all placed accross the top and then when clicked the playhead moves to a frame with the content on it.

Currently my code is like

on (press) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(17)
}

I want to add some code so that it still does the same thing but the down state stays down until another one is clicked.

Ive looked through some previous threads but cant seem to get a simple bit of code to do this,

any sugesstions?

Button State
I am creating a three page site (Home, About us, Contact Us) . My buttons (which are movieclips with Event listeners) have roll over, roll out, and button down states. All work properly. I am using the SWF as navigation for HTML site. Here is what I want to do.

I want to use the same SWF on all three pages.
This is an example of what I want to do, on the "Home" page I want to click the "About Us" button (which goes to the mouse down state), and I want the "About Us" page to load and the "About Us" button to be displayed in the button down state on this page. I want this functionality for all buttons on every page using only 1 swf file.

I have seen this done in actionscript 2 (in a template I purchased) using only 1 swf file in html and was wondernig if it could be done in actionscript 3. In the html (in the template) I noticed some extra text embedded the swf. It looked like this...

"<param name="movie" value="flash/header_v81.swf?button=2">"

In the .fla file (using actionscript 2) there is a buton (movieclip) with an instance name of "item2". There is also actionscript on another layer on the main time right after all the buttons load that shows this...

"_root["item"+_root.button].gotoAndPlay("s1");
_root.link=_root.button;"

Inside of the movieclip there is actionscript on a layer that says
"p=2"

I am new to this. and I only have experience with actionscript 3 (very little experience at that).

Basically, I need somewhat specific instructions on how to write actionscript 3 and html code to accomplish what this actionscript 2 code does.

I have heard of two ways of doing this (Flashvars and SWF Object). But all the examples are concerning loading text externally from HTML. And I am not sure if this will do what I am trying to do.

I hope I have given enough info.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
