Move A MC To A Different Location With A Button
I am having a problem: I want to move a MC from one location to another, using a button on another menu. tab1 is the name of the instance. When I use
on ( rollover ) { tab1._y = _y+(280-_y);
}
It moves the MC to the correct location, but it keeps moveing back even if the mouse is still on the button.
On the MC there is the following code (because it should be activated also if someone is rolling over the MC, and not only on the separate button):
onClipEvent (load) {
headline = "test1";
text = "blablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablab la";
trigger = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (trigger == 1) {
_y = _y+(300-_y)/6;
}
if (trigger == 0) {
_y = _y+(425-_y)/10;
}
}
Please help!
Thanks

Get Path/location Of Button
In AS3 I'm trying to refer to a button and I can't get the correct location. How can I read the location of a display object.
eg. by placing something like:
trace(this.location);
on the button. Which might return
_root.movie1.movie2.instancename

Movieclip - Button - Location On Stage
Fellow Gurus!
I am using Flash 8.
I rendered some boxes on the stage. One is for a menu and another is for graphics. The idea is to have a picture pop-up in the graphic box whenever one passes a mouse over a button in the menu (which is in the menu box).
I have added movie clips to each button’s mouse-over. The movie clips contain a picture (at least for now). Thus when you pass a mouse over the button, a picture pops up. That is the easy part.
Now, I could simply reposition the movie clip until it appears within the graphic box. My problem is – I have a bunch of buttons and they may or may not be placed in the menu in exact positions. If I were to change a button’s position, the movie clip’s position is relative to the button and not the stage thus it would have to be repositioned as well.
Therefore, the pop-up pictures within the movie clips which are within the buttons must all pop-up in the graphic box regardless of where I place or reposition the buttons.
Let’s say I have the graphic box located at x=500 and y = 120.
Let’s say the button’s name is First_btn.
Let’s say the movie clip’s name is OneTest_mc.
And, I can bring it on stage in order to add an instance name of perhaps TestOne.
Now, I have looked at localToGlobal and globalToLocal. I am not sure which one work for my situation.
I am assuming that I can add AS2 to the movie clip’s (OneTest_mc) timeline – if that is not where it goes - let me know.
I have looked at the various scripts on the Internet and all they do is confuse me, namely because they are rotating graphics, etc. In another words, they complicate the examples. What I need is a script to add to each button/movie clip to make them all place the pop-up graphic in the box regardless of where the button is located.
However, I do not just want a piece of script. I would appreciate some explanation of the code so I can learn from it – not just giving me a fish but teaching me how to fish.
Thanks in advance,
Bill

Changing Music On/off Button Location Across Scenes?
i have a movie with just the music and the buttons on top of a multiple scenes movie. the music plays seamlessly across scene just fine. the only problem is that the on/off button stays at the same spot in every scene. the movie with just the music and the buttons has only one frame, which contains a movieclip that has the buttons in it. i made a copy of the first frame into the second and moved the movieclip to a new location. my question is...how do you code it in a way that when i press a button in the multiple scenes movie that corresponds to a new scene and also corresponds to the second frame of the movie with just the music and the buttons?
thanks for your help.

Button Needs To Load Movie But Also Specify Controller Location
I'm tryin to reduce the file size of my web site and as such need to put most of my info on seperate swf's usin loadmovie to load them in. The buttons presently have this code:
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop(85);
_root.controller1.targXpos2=1650;
}
on(rollOver){
_root.controller1.targXpos=182;
}
with the controller values being different for each button.
My question is is it possible to open the swf then direct the controller?
e.g
on (release) {
loadmovie{content.swf,1}
// (would not need this code) _root.gotoAndStop(85);
_root.controller1.targXpos2=1650;
}
on(rollOver){
_root.controller1.targXpos=182;
}

Making An MC Appear At The Cursor's Location Upon Button Click
Hi people!
I'm constructing a drop-down menu that is held within an MC.
This drop-down is to be activated when "button_01" on screen is clicked.
This is all ok.
But...
What I need to achieve is to have this drop-down menu appear at the cursor's location (which will be somewhere above "button_01" thats just been clicked)....
Then have the drop-down menu disappear when the user rolls off "button_01", but not if they're still on the drop-down menu.
Can any body tell me how to do this?
Thank you

Rollover Button/movie In One Location But Triggered Differently
I'm Really new to Flash and can't seem to write code that will do the following (despite spending hours and hours reading, trying, reading, trying again)...
I will be eternally grateful for any advice on getting this to work!!!
Summary:
I have a button on a webpage (button1_btn) that, in its Over state should turn from a b&w graphic to a color graphic (this is easy) and when clicked, link to a new page (easy too). I have another button in a different location on the same page (button2_btn) that, when clicked, should triggor the first button's (button1_btn) nested movie image (which begins with the same b&w image as the button itself) to play. The only time this movie clip should play is if button #2 is clicked.
What I have done so far:
1) Dragged a button instance of button2 onto the stage (button2_btn). This is a very simple button whose only function is to triggor the first button's nested movie clip (buildingbw_mc) to play.
2) Created a movie clip (buildingbw_movie). On the first frame of this movie, I have inserted the code:
if button2_btn.addEventListener() {buildingbw_mc.gotoAndPlay(20, "Scene1")
}
on frame 20 of this movie clip, I have inserted the code:
stop()
3) Created a button (button1_button). In the Up and Down stage of this button I have inserted the above movie clip (buildingbw_mc). On the Over state, I have placed the color version of the b&w graphic (this part works fine); Down state gets the appropriate URL (this works too)
Dragged the instance of this button onto the main stage.
What actually happens:
Button #1's rollover and hit function work fine but the movie clip portion of button #1 simply plays (and loops) when the webpage loads.
What I want to happen:
When the page loads, button #1 should only respond if rolled over directly (in which case the b&w image simply changes to color - NO movie to be played), AND, if button #2 is clicked, the movie clip currently nested in button #1 plays one time.

Button Link Inside Movie Clip Link To Slide #
First let me say I am a very new to ActionScript and Flash, but have a pretty good understanding of the web and a basic understanding of object oriented scripts from CSS and a few other languages.
I have a navigation menu which is a movie clip containing buttons inside it and have a slide presentation as my main content. I am trying to make the buttons link to a specific slide # in a different part of my flash presentation.
You can see the page here: http://brhpc.ericlevay.com
The nav menu is a downloaded source and the slide show is the default canned one from the Flash templates directory.
I was hoping to use the gotoandStop (slide#) to make the connection between the nav button and the slide but it does not do anything.
I will provide the source if needed...
Thanks!

Setting Properties Of A Movie From A Button Depending On User Location Within The Mov
Hi....
It is a little more complex than this so here goes........
I have a main menu that travels the main timeline,using frame Labels to guide it.... when the user clicks to go to another section I want to have a section closing animation play before the selected section opens.....the sections are color coded (red, blue, yellow, grey) and all use the same enter/leave animations but uses a background that tints to make the section animate in the right color code......
I am guessing the best thing to do is have the sections all close using the same movie but have the button tell the specific variable inside the movie (depending on which section the user is currently in) to be a certain tint property and then go to the user selected section by using "gotoAndPlay (x); variable at the end of the animation defined from the selection from the main menu????
My problem is I dont know how to send the information around flash.....
how would I get the button to play this closing animation with the right tint on the backing ......
any ideas would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks
would be easier using actionscript rather than try to do all the different movies according to the differentials as the animation is a little complicated

A Link Through A Button?
Im a newb i was hoping someone could help me with this....
Ok i know how to make buttons and all but now how do i get the down frame to be set when you click it it takes you to a webpage? only way i have figured out is set the button with action script the the original scene since the action script commands for it is unavailible when i try to set it to the down frame and when i just set it to the whole button and i test the movie it just pops up a wbepage everytime it goes through that portion of the movie....so basically my question is how do i set the down frame of the button to have it direct you to a diffrent area of a webpage? or open a diffrent page

I can't <b>link</b> (target) my <b>button</b> to an Iframe! I cant even link my buttons to anything! I've tried many times, and I've posted help everywhere, and cannot get anything! I need to link my button to the IFRAME, so when you click on the buttons, it changes the content in the IFRAME. Its just like frames, except using buttons instead of words, and IFrames instead of just normal frames. <b>I need major help!</b> If you still dont understand what i mean, go to the flashkit <b>guestbook</b>, and at the guestbook, you can see these buttons, that you click on, and the content changes in the iframe. That's what i'm trying to do on my site, but unable to do that. Pretend < > is ( ). I did, (a href="...html" TARGET="...")(object...*button*)(/object)(/a) *the (object) was there already for the button. And it wont work! But that's how it said in many sites. <b>PLEASE REPLY to: xiluvfreddiex@hotmail.com IF YOU KNOW THE ANSWER THE MY PROBLEM!</b> THANKS!

Button/Link Help Please :)
Hello
Hoping someone may be able to help me with a problem!
I've created a website using a long (800x2310 pixels) flash movie, and down the bottom of the first page i have a link to another frame.
Yet, when you click the link it goes to the next frame, but down the bottom of the page, instead of to the top, making it look rather funny!
I was wondering if there is a way of making the link refresh/reload the page so it goes to the top??
To see what i am meaning (if i don't make sense!) go to www.positiveenergy.info - down the bottom of the About The Positive Energy Company page there is a underlined text link to The Oracle, if you click this you will get what i am trying to do!
Thanks for your time Have a FANTASIC day/nite!!

How Do I Put A URL Link In This Button?
yeh i know its dumb but I bought something off of flashden.net.. and i'm confused about putting a link in the code.. ITs probably so simple. its just a scrolling list for navigation... but it has dummy items.. When i went to add my own lists to it, it so weird. Heres what it looks like
//------------------------------------------------
//total menu items
ti = 10;
//------------------------------------------------
//set up some demo items
n = 0;
while (Number(n)<Number(ti)) {
set("item" add n, "item" add n);
n = Number(n)+1;
}
//------------------------------------------------
//what to do with YOURs?
//remove the above LOOP (which creates dummy variable names.) START at "0"!!!!! Create variables named item0="blah", item1="test", item2="and so on..." and you're set! Look at the button action. It is currently set to GETURL and load a "swf" file with the same name as the button you just clicked on into a placeholder (which does not exist in this demo).
So what do i do to add a link to say "contact" that goes to a url?
thanks any help is greatly appreciated!
