Set Object Alpha On Button Click

Button Click Behind Video W/ Alpha
I have a rather large video (flv) with alpha of someone walking around, however under the video are buttons thats cannot be clicked because the video is on top. I can't really but hidden buttons on top to trigger the buttons below, as the rollovers etc. won't fire.
Any thoughts on how to access the buttons?

Thanks,

Button Alpha Fade And On Click Load Centered Popupwindow
Ok guys I got a lot of help originally from L0stinbeta on the code for this particular section. He helped me create these buttons to load an exterior .swf file when clicked. All I want to do is change it to load a centered popup window instead, and be able to specify the dimensions of the window. Unfortunately I have exhausted my action script talent, and I am totally lost. Basically
I am trying to combine the two codes below. Please help! thx
onClipEvent (load) {
this._alpha = 30;
// set original alpha
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
function fadeOut() {
if (this._alpha>30) {
this._alpha -= 10;
} else {
null;
}
}
// this function increases the _alpha of the object calling it
// when it reaches 100, it deletes its enterFrame
function fadeIn() {
if (this._alpha<100) {
this._alpha += 10;
} else {
null;
}
}
this.onRollOver = function() {
// when you roll over the button, you define its enterFrame as the
// function you have just declared. You could hard code it, but it is
// clearer that way and more reusable
this.onEnterFrame = fadeIn;
};
this.onRollOut = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = fadeOut;
};
this.onRelease = function() {
_root.loadfrom.loadMovie("flowertruck.swf");
};
}




and this one
on (release) {
//customize the window that gets opened
// 0 equals NO.
// 1 equals YES.
address = "http://www.kirupa.com/modular/pop-up.htm";
target_winName = "kirupa";
width = 400;
height = 300;
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);
}

Click A Button And The Object Pans Left Or Right...
I need to create a movie where you have a series of buttons in a row. Above the buttons is a long series of pictures, each one corresponding to a button. This series of pictures (PixMC) will be scrolling back and forth. When you click on a button of choice, PixMC will quickly pan left or right to land on the picture that corresponds with the button.

A good example of this function can be seen at:http://www.templatemonster.com/flash...ates/7276.html


Can anyone point me to a tutorial that will show me how to do this?

I've created scrolling nav bars and scrolling pictures but I've never done this particular thing.

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Using Button To Rotate Object Given Amount Per Click
sorry, I'm really new to flash, I hack my way through it by building things up on the timeline and spending way too much time probably.

Anyway, I want to know if there is a relatively easy way to assign like a rotation amount to a button so that each time you click the button it rotates a given object by a certain amount. like, if i can somehow link a circle to the button so eack time the button is pressed it spins the circle by like 15 degrees...is that possible?

thanks in advance

Button Taking A Double Click Instead Of A Single Click
I have an on(release) button on a friends web site but it seems to be taking a double click to get through to the next page and also on that next page too clicking on the images takes a double click. Below is the AS I have on the button, similar on all other buttons too!

on(release){
getURL("http://www.brayglassworks.com/gallery1.htm", "_self");

Adding EventListener MouseEvent Click To Existing Mc Which Aleady Has Alpha Motion...
hi, my name's jude and i'm an author designing a site for my new publishing company. i want to use a flash button on the site and am having problems finding the right actionscript. i'm a total nOOb in actionscript but i promise i've done lots of research into this - however the only tutes i can find are for starting from scratch making movie clip buttons.

all i want to do is add the actionscript for a mouse click which takes you to the desired URL, to this existing code controlling the motion of the movie clip.

onClipEvent(load)
{
dir = 0;
speed = 6;
original._alpha = 0
this.onRollOver = function()
{
dir = 1;
}

this.onRollOut = function()
{
dir = -1;
}
useHandCursor = true;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{
temp = original._alpha + speed*dir;
original._alpha = Math.min(100,Math.max(temp,0));
}

you can see the completed .swf (before i changed the HandCursor to true) here.

and here are screenshots of the relevant pages in flash

Setting Alpha For One Object
Hey,

I have this code:
on (rollOver) {
tellTarget (square) {
_alpha = 0;
}
}


I'm trying to get the alpha level on JUST my square to go to 0, but it's changing the alpha of the whole movie. This gets to be a bit of a problem.

Can someone give me the code to do this?

Thanks,

Changing Alpha On An Object
Haven't posted here in like 2 years...thanks for being here

I have a problem displaying multiple objects. I have mutiple objects stacked over one another all with their alpha=0. My intention is when one selects a checkbox, one of these objects becomes visible by changing the alpha from alpha=0 to alpha=70 (see code below). Two things: in some cases, on an LCD screen (laptop) one can still see the objects where alpha=0. The second thing is that I get interference from all the stacked objects when one is selected. I am thinking that I want to use something where the objects are in a state of "off" rather than alpha=0? Any thoughts?

Here is a msword document illustrating the above points:
http://www.netwiz.net/~cheez/alpha_issue.doc

Here is the native FLA:
http://www.netwiz.net/~cheez/demo_spectra.zip

Here is the prototype website:
http://www.netwiz.net/~cheez/demo_spectra.html

Here is the code in question:


ActionScript Code:
if (checkbox.getValue() == true) {
        _root[spectraGraphic+"em"]._alpha = 70;
        _root[spectraGraphic+"ex"]._alpha = 80;
        getData(x, spectraGraphic);
        dimSpectra();
        order++;
        orderArray[order] = spectraGraphic;
    }
    if (checkbox.getValue() == false) {
        _root[spectraGraphic+"em"]._alpha = 0;
        _root[spectraGraphic+"ex"]._alpha = 0;
}
Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Cheez

Button Click LoadMovA..click Again LoadB?
I saw this code on the tutorials but it was in relation to Random backgrounds. Woud anyone know if I could use this to do the following....

First time a button is clicked, I want it load and play Movie A, if the button is clicked again, load and play Movie B.

Can I control where it loads? Meaning to a movieclip holder or something?

on (release) {
choice = Math.round(Math.random()*2);
switch (choice) {
case 0 :
location.loadMovie("image0.swf");
break;
case 1 :
location.loadMovie("image1.swf");

Fading Alpha On A Video Object Question
Hello all,

I am attempting to use a timer in conjunction with a sprite's alpha levels to create a programmatic fade in/out for a video object. I have the fade out working wonderfully. For some reason I cannot seem to get the fade in to work properly. I am calling to a timer function that runs after the video is loaded. Once the timer finishes, I play the video. The video loads fine, but doesn't fade in, only pops to opaque when it starts to play (the holding clip, the video's parent, takes the transition fine, showing a nice fade in).

Can the video object not accept alpha values until after it is fully loaded, or does this sound like something else. I created a shape behind the video to test, and the transition is working properly, just the video alpha wont take.

Here is the class code. It is still working code, so please dont yell at me about improper coding form :P

Alpha Tweening. Object Flashing At End Of Tween.
Hi guys
Been bashing my head against a brick wall for ages and have given in.
I have a problem with one of my animation that for the life of me I do not know why.

The flash I’m building has a series of maps that’s zoom in and zoom out of each other. It's for a very high res animation and has detailed maps.

For the zooming originally I was using tween via actionscript but this caused soo many unexplainable problems I had to try something else. Things like items not animating to their correct points or being half transparent for some reason. Some times they would work and sometimes not.

So wrote my own animation class which has a frame listener and adds or minus values for zoom as it sees fit. This has never failed and is solid.

I also use alpha tween on the map for a fade in/out effect. This is what causing the issues. The zoom uses my class for calculation but a tween on the object (movieclip) for the alpha animation. When zooming out the alpha is faded to 0, then in the next frame the object used for the animation is removed from the stage.

However at the end of the zoomout animation just before it is removed from the stage the object will blink. IE have it's alpha set to 1 then disappear. The zoom is supposed to zoom out and fade the object to nothing, however I get this blink at the end which looks quite poor. Even if I remove the code that removes the object from stage (IE just keep it on stage with the alpha set to 0) it will still blink.

Having said this it does not happen on all zoomout animations. I have used the same code for all my map zoom animations, much, if not all of the code in my system is standardized. Hence I would expect all my zoomout transition to be similar. Some will blink slightly, other are really predominate and some work perfectly.

I have tried running the alpha via tween and also tried adding functionality to my zoom class to handle alpha changes. Both still result in the blink. I have added a listener for the end of the animation that sets the object alpha values explicitly to 0. Also optimized the way in which the objects are removed. Nothing helps.

Can anyone help? Has anyone ever experienced these blinks I'm talking about? Any hacks I can try?

Alpha Fades On Multi-object Movie Clips
Ok... I have a movie clip which I have imported from illustrator and it has different elements. I have put an alpha fade on the movie clip but the ojects inside are seperatly showing transperancy so they see through eachother. I want them to fade in one block. Is there any way I can do this without completely breaking up the object?
Thanks!

On Alt+Click Rotate Object... Help?
Hi there,

I'm wondering how I would have an object rotate 45 degrees everytime a user alt+clicks on the object.

I'm attempting to create a floorplan in flash and I have furniture that the user can drag and drop onto the floorplan, now I'm just wondering if it's possible to have them be able to rotate the furniture by performing a keyboard command (alt+click on object). Any help is appreciated.

Using Flash 8.

On Alt+click Rotate Object...
Hi there,

I'm looking for some info on how to rotate and object in Flash 8 using a keyboard command.

I have a floorplan which users can drag furniture on to, and I would like it so that if they were to hold down alt and click on the peice of furniture, it would rotate 45 degrees.

What script (if any?) would help rotate 45 degrees everytime they alt + click?

Essentially I would like it to rotate 45 degrees more, everytime they click, so they have an option of rotating it to a full 360 degrees.

Does anyone have any tips on how to achieve this?

Thanks.

Slide An Object Upon Click
I have the below function that is called when a button is clicked, however nothing happens. For testing purposes, I disabled all of the code within the function and get put in: iObject._y = EndPos; and that worked so I know the object is being passed correctly.


Code:
function SlideObjectDown(iObject,EndPos) {
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
yMC = getProperty(iObject, _y);
moveMC = EndPos + yMC;
setProperty(iObject, _y, yMC + (moveMC/10));
if (getProperty(iObject, _y)>=EndPos) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
}

Thanks for your help.

Animating Object On Click Event
How do you tween an object when a button is clicked? For example, I have Three buttons and a rectangle. When button one is clicked the x position of the object should scroll from the current location (0) to x=20. When button 2 is clicked the rectangle should scroll to x=100. If button one is pressed again, the object should move back to x=20. I can make the rectangle "jump" to the location but cannot find a way to make it tween.

Move Object Towards Mouse Click
Hello everyone!
I am in a study group at Aalborg University in Denmark, where we are currently working on a small Flash Computergame, nothing big, nothing fancy, just part of a small project.

I am currently working on putting together a small game map, a map where a character can walk around and talk to NPC's and such. We've just started to I am pretty much just working with the basics here. Just started learning AS3 too. I have created an Object, in this case a circle that gets drawn when I run my AS code, the circle is drawn in the midde of my stage. What I want, since the game is Isometric and moves in those isometric lines rather than straight up, down, left, right, I want to make a funktion where, if the mouse is clicked at a location where both the X and Y coordinate is less than where the object is, then the object moves to that place.

I hope you can follow me on this, otherwise, please do tell.
The code I have, is as follows at the moment:



Code:
var xNewPos:int;
var yNewPos:int;
var inTransit:Boolean = false;
var cirkel:circle = new circle();

cirkel.x = 400
cirkel.y = 300
addChild(cirkel);

function mouseClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
xNewPos = evt.target.mouseX;
yNewPos = evt.target.mouseY;
inTransit = true;
//trace(xNewPos);
//trace(yNewPos);

function circleMove(evt:MouseEvent):void {
if(inTransit = true){
if(xNewPos < cirkel.x && yNewPos < cirkel.y){
cirkel.x = cirkel.x -=5;
cirkel.y = cirkel.y -=2.5;
}
}

Object Movement With Mouse Click AS3
I'm using Flash CS4.

And I am a newbie- I have no idea what I'm doing.

Okay, so I have an AS2 code that I want to "convert" it into an AS3 code. All the code does is make the obejct in the screen (a circle->movieclip) move to wherever it is clicked. It can go in any direction. I've attached it on here.

So, my question is, if you could help me change that into an AS3 code, and please, explain and be simple. I really a, new to this. I know almost nothing.

Here's the code I used:


Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
rad = 0.0174532925199433;
speed = 5;
moving = false;
}
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
moving = true;
m = {x:_parent._xmouse, y:_parent._ymouse};
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (moving) {
mcx = _x-m.x;
mcy = _y-m.y;
_rotation = -Math.atan2(mcx, mcy)/rad;
mr = _rotation*rad;
if (Math.sqrt((mcx*mcx)+((mcy)*(mcy)))>speed) {
_y -= speed*Math.cos(mr);
_x -= -(speed*Math.sin(mr));
} else {
_x = m.x;
_y = m.y;
moving = false;
}
}
}

Move Object Towards Mouse Click
Hello everyone!
I am in a study group at Aalborg University in Denmark, where we are currently working on a small Flash Computergame, nothing big, nothing fancy, just part of a small project.

I am currently working on putting together a small game map, a map where a character can walk around and talk to NPC's and such. We've just started to I am pretty much just working with the basics here. Just started learning AS3 too. I have created an Object, in this case a circle that gets drawn when I run my AS code, the circle is drawn in the midde of my stage. What I want, since the game is Isometric and moves in those isometric lines rather than straight up, down, left, right, I want to make a funktion where, if the mouse is clicked at a location where both the X and Y coordinate is less than where the object is, then the object moves to that place.

I hope you can follow me on this, otherwise, please do tell.
The code I have, is as follows at the moment:









Attach Code

var xNewPos:int;
var yNewPos:int;
var inTransit:Boolean = false;
var cirkel:circle = new circle();

cirkel.x = 400
cirkel.y = 300
addChild(cirkel);

function mouseClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
xNewPos = evt.target.mouseX;
yNewPos = evt.target.mouseY;
inTransit = true;
//trace(xNewPos);
//trace(yNewPos);

function circleMove(evt:MouseEvent):void {
if(inTransit = true){
if(xNewPos < cirkel.x && yNewPos < cirkel.y){
cirkel.x = cirkel.x -=5;
cirkel.y = cirkel.y -=2.5;
}
}
}

Rotating An Object Automatically On Click
Hi all

Given up on the other thread, others tell me its gonna be quite a bit of hassle!

What I want to do is as follows; I want a vinyl record on the stage to begin slowly rotating, until it hits full speed, on a mouse click.

All automatic.

I imagine this will involve adding a speed number to a basic rotation script. When it hits a certain speed, I want an event to be triggered.

Anyone have an idea on how I might go about this?

Cheers!

Transitioning Object To Mouse On Click?
How would I slide an object to the mouse, using onMouseDown?

I should be searching, but I couldnt think of a keyword. I've tried a whole bunch of math detecting distance & direction but of course some of them go negative (lol) & I got stuck, but I have tried!

No easing please, thanks!

MouseEvent CLICK And DOUBLE_CLICK On Same Object
Do you folks have any suggestions on how to listen on a SINGLE CLICK as well as DOUBLE CLICK for an object?

Meaning, one behaviour if the object is single clicked and another behaviour if it is double clicked.

Simply adding two event listeners (CLICK and DOUBLE_CLICK) leads to CLICK handler getting called always.

I understand one could start a timer upon the CLICK and if another CLICK doesn't arrive within 'x' milliseconds generate a SINGLE_CLICK event, else generate a DOUBLE_CLICK event. It seems like a hack and dependant on CPU load.

Is there a standard better way of doing this?

Thanks in advance,

Click A Display Object To Remove It
Hey all,

I would like to add some sort of event listener to an object upon its addition to the display list, such that clicking on the object removes it. How do I do that?

It would look something like this, although this doesn't work...


PHP Code:



var foo = new CustomObject();addChild(foo);foo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, removeFoo); function removeFoo(event:MouseEvent):void {     removeChild(event.target);} 




The part that wouldn't work of course is "removeChild(event.target)". I guess I could do something like this:


PHP Code:



function removeFoo(event:MouseEvent):void {     if (foo) {          if (foo.parent != null) {               removeChild(foo);          }     }{ 




...but I'm hoping for something a bit more modular than that.

Any help?

Thanks,

Flash Object: Disable Right Click On It
I have a page where there is an embeded flash object.
If a visitor of the page do a right click in this flash object, instantly will see all the appropriate options of the flash (zoom,play etc).

I want to find a way in order to prevent the visitors 'see' if the object that runs on my page is a flash or something else.
They should not be able to do right click in flash object.

I must also say that this flash is not produced from macromedia flash application but it is actually a converter that outputs to the flash format.
So, it seems that any possible solution should be outside the flash format and flash file.

I thought a lot of possible ways but finally I have not found something that seems to work (layers, javascript, etc).

Is there any way to overcome this problem?


Thanks in advance

Spinning An Object In Flash With Click And Drag
Hi all,

I have a client who needs something rather odd. Basically what I have is a series of images of an object rotating, rendered in max. It's a diamond so I have to render it out of max to get all the reflections and refractions of the light playing in the diamond and on the surface it sits on.

This diamond has links on it, and the end users need to be able to spin it to get to each of the links.

Easy enough at first as I just put a button in there that they could click to rotate the diamond to the next face, revealing the next link.

It just got more complicated however as the client now wants to be able to click onthe diamond and drag left or right, to rotate it left or right. Sort of a free wheeling rotation, spun interactively as the user drags and rotates this diamond to get to the links.

I'm rather stumped as to how to do this with a sequence of images like this. I'm looking for any suggestions as to how I might tackle this.

Thanks in advance,
David

Object Bigger On Click - Quick Answer Would Be Fantastic
1 MOVIECLIP
2 BUTTON

I require a movieclip to increase/decrease in size when a button is clicked.

To stop at the smallest size I set. And stop at the biggest size I set.

(Not -next -previous commands in a button to select a different frame.)




Is there any such actionscripting to solve my problem?

Thanks in advance

Click (and Drag) Bring-up-object In Depth Function?
I'd like to make an instance click-and-draggable (I know how to do that to an instance (startDrag("movie"), etc., but that's it). I'd like to create a global function for each object (say 3-5), so when a user clicks, it brings it to the very front and very draggable). For obvious reasons, it's a global function to call from each instance, rather than attaching nearly-duplicate on press and on release local functions to each and every instance. Well, sorta saves on efficiency, right?

Other things I'd like to see would be to have yet-more-embedded-functionality (buttons show up that are there, but disappear when you click on another instance, but that can come later. A bounding area would be nice too.

Any takers?



thanks.

Name Property Of Loader Object Lost In CLICK Event.
PHP Code:



private function loadIcons():void{
            count = 0;
            iconArray = new Array();
            for(var i:uint = 0; i < menuArray.length; i++){
                loader = new Loader();
                loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, placeIcons);
                loader.load(new URLRequest("assets/icons/" + menuArray[i] + "_icon.swf"));
            }
        }
        
        private function placeIcons(event:Event):void{
            iconArray[count] = (loader.content as MovieClip);
            var loadedContent:MovieClip = (loader.content as MovieClip);
            //loadedContent.play(); needed for later to play ani.
            iconArray[count] = loadedContent;
            iconArray[count].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, menuSelected);
            addChild(iconArray[count]);
            count++;
        }
        
        private function menuSelected(event:Event):void{
            //addChild(loader);
            trace(event.target.name);  //PROBLEM GETTING THE INSTANCE NAME OF THE BUTTON PRESSED!!!! Look into
        }




Well, hard title.. sorry.

the object is to load a couple of swf's which serves as icons in a menu. I place these in an array so I can reference them later, then when clicked I need to know the id, name or anything about that swf to load the appropriate page which goes with the icon swf.

The problem is that even after I make the coercion to MovieClip on the "loadedContent" I am not allowed to set the "loadedContent.name = "instance name"" and no matter what I try all I get in the menuSelected function is "instance27" or what ever the player calls it at runtime..

I am quite sure I did this a thousand times, but now it does not work?

Thanks for any help given

How Can I Get An Object Or Image To Return To Its Original State With A Mouse Click?
Hi all,

As you can tell I'm VERY new to action script 3.0

I am trying to get image thumbs to slide out from behind others when moused over, and when clicked the expand in size.

I can't figure out how to add it so when you click again it returns to its original position and size.

Please help, and thanks to all.

here is my code so far:

beautyshot_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onC lick);
beautyshot_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER , beauty1Over);
beautyshot_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, beauty1Out);

function beauty1Over(event:MouseEvent):void
{
event.target.alpha = 1;
event.target.x += 100;
}
function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{
event.target.scaleY += 2;
event.target.scaleX += 2;

}
function beauty1Out(event:MouseEvent):void
{
event.target.alpha = 1;
event.target.x -= 100;

}

beautyshot_1.buttonMode = true
