Flash :: Bug Not Making Movie Work?

Making A Movie Work Via Button
Hey there all
Im hoping someone can help me...im in dire straits with a site-im a relative newbie to flash...and have built a site that contains 5scenes....each scene is a different topic. On the 2nd scene i have 6 buttons, which are going to be hit to start a movie. Now the movie in question is on the stage itself and in the layers....

On the button i have placed the actionscript as follows:

on (press) {
tellTarget (_root.mcab) {
play()
}

On the movie itself i have placed the following script:

onClipEvent (load) {
stop();
}

This doesnt work...in fact when i hit the button, it actually skips to another scene entirely.

PLEASE can someone help me!!!id be SO SO greatful!!!

also-i bought a book today Flash MX 2004 Accelerated-by YoungJin. Im using Flash MX....i didnt know there was a difference between MX and 2004...silly me...the cd with the book contains flash files that wont open. Im returning it tommorow...does anyone recommend a good Flash Book that covers a wide selection of areas....????

Thank for your help people...
Im new here so please bare with me..

OK I down loaded an fla tutorial on drop down menus. Its basically a movie with the main menu button and the additional menus buttons with the invisible button within the movie.

The drop down actions and menu work. BUT I cant make the pages/movie.swfs Ive called for in the scrpit to switch.
Basically I am putting a load movie/tell target to change my pages.

What am I doing wrong? is it not possible since the script is inside the movie and not on the movie button?

Trouble Making Buttons Work In Movie Clip
I have a menu movie clip with some buttons animated in it. The buttons within the Menu movie clip have instance names and are of the type "Movie Clip" (not of type "Button"). The movie clip is linked to myMenu.as. Within myMenu.as, I am attempting to use addEventListener to make the buttons functional. But it is not working. What am I missing??

On the stage:var myMenu_mc:myMenu = new myMenu();
addChild(myMenu_mc);
myMenu_mc.x = 0;
myMenu_mc.y = 0;within myMenu.as:

package {

import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.text.TextField;

public class myMenu extends MovieClip {

public function myMenu() {
trace("menu has appeared.");
instructions_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , instructionsPress);
instructions_btn.buttonMode = true;

}

public function instructionsPress(e:Event) {
trace("Instructions pressed");
}
}
}

Making Buttons In Moving Movie Clips Work
Hello, I neeeeed help. I finished the "Infinite menu" tutorial and got the thing looking great. My problem is that I can't get the buttons that are embedded in the sliding movie clip to work. While the sliding movie clip is in edit mode, I've tried linking the buttons to both frames and frame labels using both the onRelease...gotoandstop action and the similar gotoandstopframeorlabel behavior. Though the button rollover states work, neither action strategy makes the button move the timeline to the specified spot. Assuming that I linked the buttons properly, do I need to add some sort of action script to the sliding movie clip itself or the main timeline to let FLASH know there are buttons that are active links inside the movie clip? How do I make this work?

HTML Name Anchors Making Flash Movie Not Work
I am using flash MX. I have a HTML file that has a flash movie, that has javascript to tell what frame in the flash movie to go to. In the flash movie I am using Loadmovie to load an external .jpg. Everything there works perfect. My issue is, I also have a name anchor and a link to the name anchor in the same HTML file. When I press the name anchor link it jumps to the name anchor and also either unloads the .jpg or jumps to another point in the flash movie. I appreciate any help to fix this, thank you.

Making A Rewind Button 1 Level Down From The Root Work For A Movie Clip
Hi there. I'm a relative newcomer to the wonderful world of actionscripting, and I can't seem to find an answer to this problem by searching for it on the Web. I have a movie that contains two clips: one is a controller movie clip, "reverse", located on the first level, that has 3 frames - the actions stop(); on the first, _root["artworks"].prevFrame(); on the second, and gotoAndPlay(2); on the third. What this is intended to do is play the movie clip "artworks" backwards until a stop(); command is reached in that clip. The clip "artworks" is also located on the first level, and has a button that, when pressed, says: on (release) {_root["reverse"].gotoAndPlay(2); } - this is intended to cause the clip "reverse" to go to the second frame, which should make the clip "artworks" play in reverse. Of course, this isn't working out like I expected it to - it isn't working at all. When the button is pressed, nothing happens. I hope someone out there can let me know what I'm doing wrong, and hopefully what I can do to fix things. Thanks in advance.

Making My Button Work?
In an earlier post I was trying to make my Tweens stop looping so I could add a button. I added a layer and went to my last frame, created a new key frame and then made an action to "stop". I then created a new keyframe on the layer of my tween, created a button, went into my button and added my "over", "down" & "hit" keyframes. But now when I test my movie, not only does it stop at the end of my tween my button doesn't show up. Why could this be??????

Thanks............

Making Buttons Work Help PLZ
Hey, i'm 14 years old and I am new to flash so don't yell at me for asking stupid stuff and I already know some of the stuff to make a flash movie but what I don't know is how to make a button actually work. I made a button in one of my flash movies and I converted it to a button. What I am stuck on is how to get from one part of my movie to another by clicking the button. I know how to set it by going to Actions and then goto and play and setting the frame number but I don't know how to make that frame after my whole movie is finished. In other words what I'm trying to say is this:
-I made a movie upto frame 210
- then I set the loop off over there so it doesn't repeat the movie after it finishes.
- now my button is on frame 210 and I would like it to go to a completely new frame after 210 just like any button on a flash site.
How do I do this? Can anyone please help me? I need this done soon for my video game clan website. THank you

Please Help With Making Buttons Work
Please can anyone help as I'm fast running out of ideas. I'm working on a really important site that is going live in a couple of days and I can't seem to get some buttons working.

Basically, I have some buttons in a Flash movie which is located in the Main Frame of a 2 frame site. The buttons have the following actionscript assigned to them (with the page name changing obviously):

on (release) {
getURL("aboutus.htm", "mainFrame");
}

The whole site works perfectly on my Apple Mac but when I test the buttons on the Flash part of the site on my PC Internet Explorer either sits there doing nothing or I get a 'Page not found' error! As most people who view this site will be using PCs I need it to work on one.

If you want to see what's happening go to www.testarea1.fernonline.net/srt

I have tested it on a friends PC and it does the same thing so it can't just be my computer. The only other thing I can think of is that as I'm testing the site I've put it in a folder, one down from the root directory rather than straight into the root directory as I normally would - could this cause a problem?

There are up to Eight positions on each slider (3 sliders) so perhaps an array?

Making Cities Work On Map
click the 'techno almanac' page to see how this works so far...

http://funkshun-us.tonaleclipse.com/...lash/index.htm

I have two issues that I cant resolve...
-----------------
ex. i rollOver boston

how do i get the toolTip to pop up over boston_mc and only boston_mc?

in my main timeline i have nine continent_mc's which contain a city_mc for each different city.

inside of the city_mc is a transparent button that controls the color of the cities, sounds, actions, etc...

if i put the toolTip within the city_mc, when i roll over any city a toolTip pops up on every other city...

if i try to put it in the continent_mc -- id have to put as many instances of toolTip as i have cities, which i think would increase file size-- but nevertheless, i cant get it to work that way either

-----------------------
problem two which i think is related....

i first click on atlanta then i click on miami

i cant figure out how to get atlanta_mc to gotoAndStop(State_3) when i click on a miami_mc...

this would turn every previously clicked on city in the current session to red...

i think it has something to do with the trasparent button inside of miami_mc and the _name & _parent.name
please help, im going nutz

Making Sure This Timer Will Work:
I've searched for timers and wonder if this is possible easily:

I am in the middle of designing a simple game but I now require a 2minute timer. This will countdown and at the end it will note the score.
Then the timer will restart at 2minutes but this time set a target score which would be the previous score+1.

Can someone provide some idea of how this could be accomplished, the main problem is where would any such code for a timer go? In the frame or on a movieclip (if so which one?) etc. I've looked at various tutorials only to be further confused.

Anyway I found a simple idea here:

And posted this same question on there but don't know if anyone will check it, Apologies if you checked both.

Making Scenes Work Together
I'm using Flash 8 and I have multiple scenes. The scenes all work fine on thier own, but when I link from one to another, stuff starts acting up. Mainly, I have buttons inside a scrollpane that link to frames in their own scenes. They work when I test just that scene, but they don't work if I test the movie and go to those scenes. So I'm guessing this is some kind of path problem, but I'm not sure. This is what I'm using for the links that are in the scrollpane:

on (press) {
_parent._parent.gotoAndStop(1);
}

Or if I give up on scenes, what's the best way to grab all the layers in a scene and everything on them and move it all to the beginning of another scene? Or how do I put everything from a scene into a movieclip?

A Big Idea, But Need Some Help Making It Work
Hey guys!

I'm new to Flash, but I'm determined to learn it so I can create a site I have in my head. I was hoping you guys could steer me in the right direction!

Ok, well, I want to take this: http://zeldacurio.com/0verture/creation.html and improve it with flash.

I want the stars to twinkle and the constellations to be the navigation, I just want there to be more of them, so that would require the sky to rotate, and I'd need to be able to possibly speed it up if you put your mouse at the sides, so you don't ahve to wait for the navigation link you want to roll around. Does that sound right?

I'd like to make it more alive, with his hat blowing gently and possibly other activity in teh back, but that can wait.

So, some questions:

1. Can I import files of the constellations, or will I have to make them in Flash?

2. How would I go about scripting the sky?

3. How about the character, if I just want to make his hat move how do I go about that?

I am so sorry for asking all this, I'm very eager to learn more about Flash so I can make it work! I'm using Flash MX 2004. I hope I ahven't asked too much >_<

[F8] What's The Trick To Making This Work?
Hi Everyone. I've been working on a website and getting some great assistance from flashkit. This is my first flash project.

I am trying to build a news section on the front page, something like an embedded movie of some sort that has 2 panes. The left pane has news article names that are clickable and the right pane has the article (scrolling text) which is displayed upon clicking the article title.

I really need to make that section easy to update without needed the fla file to do so.

Where can I find information to make this work? I've been trying to search on it here and I've looked through the flash documentation but since I'm not really sure what I'm looking for I'm not having much luck in finding the information.

If anyone has any thoughts as to what you call this, what to look for or any other information that would point me in the proper direction I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Now I'm an amateur coder so any help will be appreciated.

Making TABs Work
The 'createTabs' function generates tabs on a page based on the MC 'tabber'. When clicking a tab, this tab changes color (by going to the next frame) and the main MC goes to the frame corresponding the name of the tab (for example 'tabje2' --> frame 2). After clicking I can't click it again! It looks like the eventhandler 'tabHandler' is disabled ???

PHP Code:

createTabs("tab1,tab2,tab3");function createTabs(ss:String) { var results:Array = ss.split(","); for(var i:int; i<results.length; i++) { var tab2:tabber = new tabber(); tab2.x=34+i*69; tab2.y=20; tab2.name = "tabje"+i; tab2.txt.text = results[i]; tab2.butt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, tabHandler); if(i==0) { tab2.gotoAndStop(2); activeTab = tab2; } addChildAt(tab2,4); //trace(results[i]); } } function tabHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { event.target.parent.parent.gotoAndStop(Number(event.target.parent.name.substr(5,1))+1); activeTab.gotoAndStop(1); activeTab = event.target.parent; event.target.parent.gotoAndStop(2); }

Help: Making A Button Work Only Once
is it possible to make a button work only once? i think it would work if i can instruct flash to convert the button to a graphic on press, but i don't know how to do that... help anyone?

also, i want a button to do different things depending on where two other movie clips are. e.g pressing the button would trigger event a if movieclip1 and movieclip 2 have not moved, but event b if movieclip 1 has moved but movieclip 2 hasn't, event c if both movieclips have moved... etc. is this possible??

Thanks for your help in advance!

Making A Website Work
Hey guys,

I would consider myself beginner to intermediate in Flash, I've made one game and several animations, and just recently took up the task of making a flash website for some of my friends (and not for money). There is a lot of information I have to get through right now, I think I'm understanding it all, but I do have some questions. Firstly, I think the intro to my site would be the regular "This site requires Flash Player 9" etc. Now, if I'm using Flash 8, would you just say you need the 'latest' Flash Player? How do you detect the version of their flash player? And also, I'd like this screen to disappear after the first time people go to the site, I think I know how to do this with storing info on the persons computer (I remember something about Flash cookies and external data). Second question is, how do people deal with different resolutions? I'm guessing that unless your site is all vectors (which mine isn't), you have to do it in a special way, but I can't seem to figure out how, I want it to work for everyone!

Making The Different Techniques Work Together
Hey guys,

I was wondering about something. What is generally considered to be the best approach for building a nice, stable, clean, working website? You know, making ALL the elements work...

For instance. I want a full browser centered website, with a flash player check, I want to get ranked in google, so HTML needs to look good, I need a preloader that's more than just a horizontal bar, etcetera, etcetera. Basically all the ingredients you need to know to make a website really professional, stable and efficient!

Now, is there an up-to-date example somewhere that incorporates all this stuff in one clean file? Or a tutorial on this? Maybe an all-in-one example site that gives all the latest tricks and techniques to do these things, because I know that everyone here that builds flashsites for a living, must know how to do all this and make it work together, right? Maybe we can just have a debate on this?

So, what's the best way? And I dont mean different tutorials on different techniques. I mean an example that shows the best techniques for this approach and how to make it all work together...

Very interested in your answers!

Cheers!

Making Variables That Work
Last edited by Kmoneil1 : 2003-07-08 at 07:58.

hi, I know I have kinda asked about this before but I am going to try it in a new way, ok I am feeling really frusterated because I dont understand flash,
ok at the moment frame 2 is the color change on the MC
what I am trying to do is this.. when there are 2 cards filped I want the actionscipt to cheeck if they match if they do not match than sorry you are back to frame one in each MC if they do match than the alpha will change to only 35% this shows you how many matches youve completed, than once you finish I want to say congradulations ect.
there are 12 cards in total.
here is the script I have place on card 1
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
_global.mark1 = "match1";
if (_global.mark1 == _global.mark2) {
setProperty("cardcolor1", _alpha, "35");
setProperty("cardcolor6", _alpha, "35");
}
}
and here is the script on card 2
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
_global.mark2 = "match1";
if (_global.mark1 == _global.mark2) {
setProperty("cardcolor1", _alpha, "35");
setProperty("cardcolor6", _alpha, "35");
}
}
problem is there alpha doesnt actually change got any Ideas for me

Making My Buttons Work
hi all,
I created my 'mainstage' with 3 nice animated buttons (as the tutorial), they work cool!!!
Now I created a new swf with a scrolling thumbnail panel, works funky as well (still have tofind out how to make each thumb clickable)
each button should refer to a different scrollpnel swf.
so when i click for example portraits in should load the portrait scrollpanel in a placeholder in my 'mainstage'. I tried to put an actionscript in the specific buttonlayer but keep screwing up in scripting
Am i on the right way??? any suggestions (i?m pretty much a newbe in the field)

And.. how the @#% do i make my thumbs in the srollpanel (when loaded in the mainstage of course) work and load bigger photos in another placeholder i pu ton the mainstage

Tnx a million
Vince

Making The Esc Button Work In Flash5
I am trying to make an FDISK tutorial in flash where I need to be able to capture the user pressing the ESC button to navigate between screens. I can capture pretty much any other key except the ESC key. I know that Key.ESCAPE and the keycode 27 are supposed to work for the escape key but I can't get them to work at all.

I was wondering if anyone has been able to get the escape key to work in anything they've done or possibly know how to make it work?

Thanks, Matt

Making A Linkage Button Work?
Ok I made a script that makes a menu that has only one button symbol in a MC. Then I used Linkage to load 8 of them. My question is how do I asign a link or action to those buttons? There is only one real symbol but I have 8 buttons in the menu.
I hope that this is clear enough. I really am quite new at this and don't know how to explain it to well.
Any input would be gtreat.
Thanmks in advance..

Making Flash Look And Work Like Powerpoint
Does anyone have a code or any ideas on how to make the keyboard buttons work like powerpoint automatically in flash? when i say automatically, i mean using the same code throughout so that you don't have to make a separate button with a "go to" command for each slide. this would be similar to the "go to marker + 1" command in director. any suggestions greatly appreciated.

also, any stock transitions?

thanks a million.

Complex Buttons - Making Them Work
my website

for those of you who have seen this before, you'll notice it's changed - hopefully for the better - lemme know what you think!

here's the problem:

the nav menu on the left was created as follows:

1)I created a button base (graphic symbol)

2)I animated the base to make it glow(MC symbol)

3)I animated the glowing base so it tweened in and out - with stop functions to slide in on mouseover, and slide out on mouseout(MC symbol)

4)I created a blank button - just a hit area.

5)I created a new MC, with three layers. Bottom layer - blank button, middle layer - tweened glowing thing, top layer - dynamic text label, which I gave the variable name 'label'. I gave this MC component properties to make it reusable, changing the label variable for each button.

6)I placed 6 instances of the component in a new MC to create the menu to be placed on the stage.

when scripting the buttons, this is what happened:

if I use on(release) to load content via the buttons, the animation no longer works.

so then I tried onClipEvent(mouseDown) - with this the animation is no longer affected, but now ALL the buttons load the same content, which is of course USELESS

how can I solve this?

thanks in advance.
your help is much appreciated.

S.

PS - the new board is kinda slow, but otherwise neat - nice job guys!

Making DuplicateMovieClip Work With LoadMovie
Please can someone help me with this problem?

I have heard, and the difficulties I'm having also confirm, that when you do this:

Code:
_level0.mcNew.loadMovie("some.swf");
_level0.mcNew.duplicateMovieClip("mcDup",6);
then the mcDup will be a duplicate of the old mcNew, not the some.swf mc, although in some circumstances it doesn't seem to duplicate at all.

I REALLY don't want to loadMovie the same swf every time I duplicate the mcNew, and I REALLY don't want to keep some.swf in the library, since it is dynamically chosen.

Is there some way of duplicating loaded movies that gets around this problem? Perhaps using levels, or duplicating a movie inside a downloaded movie, or anything?

Thanks for any help.
Neil
