Flash :: Down Load Button

(mx) Transfering Actions Which Load With Movie To Load When Button Is Pressed
hi,

I have some code which draws a line when the mouse is pressed (to when it is released)

This code is within an object, loads when the movie starts and works fine:

Code:

// ***** Set some opening parameters
onClipEvent (load) {
// Make original line invisible
_root.line._visible = 0;
// Initiate some variables
number_lines = 0;
line_active = 0;
}
// ***** Every time the mouse button is released...
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
// Get the position of the mouse
origin_x = _xmouse;
origin_y = _ymouse;
// Increase the number of lines by one
number_lines++;
// Generate a new line name
name = "line"+number_lines;
// Duplicate a new line
_root.line.duplicateMovieClip(name,number_lines);
// Position the line's end point at mouse position
_root[name]._x = origin_x;
_root[name]._y = origin_y;
// Update line length / orientation
_root[name]._xscale = _root._xmouse - origin_x;
_root[name]._yscale = _root._ymouse - origin_y;
// If this is the start of a new shape
if (!line_active) {
// Set the line tracking variable
line_active = 1;
// Set the start point of the new shape
start_x = origin_x;
start_y = origin_y;
}
}

onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
line_active = 0;
}

// ***** Every time the mouse is moved
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
// If there's a line currently being drawn...
if (line_active) {
// Update line length / orientation
_root[name]._xscale = _root._xmouse - origin_x;
_root[name]._yscale = _root._ymouse - origin_y;
updateAfterEvent();
}
}
I want the user to press a button before this code is usable - just as with any drawing program.

How do i go about telling the code only to start when the button has been pressed?

thanks,

jeff

Load Movie...Park/Play...Load A Button Into Level
Okay, I tried the Park/Play tutorial in order to load a movieclip and have a button on the stage that controls the main movie. Problem is that I have a background that covers up my button which is in level0. My movie clip is in level1. How do I bring that button out in front of the background? Do I load it into level2? If so, how do I do this?

Thanks alot,
Roger

[help] Load Images And Load AS For Button?
I have successfully dynamically loaded Jpegs into my flash document(using PHP), but then I have another small problem...

When I dynamically load the image (example: image_icon_bluesky.jpg) I then need to tell the MC that is holding the loaded image that it needs to do this...
on (release) {
_root.image_bluesky.alpha = 100;
}

SO basically every time a new image is loaded in my sort of "loop" script. I need to tell the image that it needs to put specific code onto the MC using specific "image" details for that specific image.

I hope this is clear. Basically what I'm trying to do....

On my flash stage I already have MC's that have their alpha properties set to "0". Lets say there are 3 images. One MC is called Blue, other is called Red and the last one is called Yellow.

Now using AS + PHP I have dynamically loaded 3 Jpeg's ....

myData = new LoadVars()
myData.load("theitems.php")
myData.ref = this
myData.onLoad = function(succes){
if(succes){
for(var i=0; i<this.cant; i++){
this.ref["holder_mc"+i].loadMovie(this["item"+i])
}
} else trace("Error loading data")
}

In the PHP script a query takes the info from a database. In this case there are 3 images to load. Let's say they are called 'Blue.jpg', 'Red.jpg' and 'Yellow.jpg'.

Okay now ideally I need to find someway of sending the "link" with the image. So that when 'Blue.jpg' loads on the stage it knows it's AS needs to be
on (release) {
_root.blue.alpha = 100;
}

and so on for each image....I have tried to explain this as well as I possibly can. I just wanna know if this is possible or if there is a simple way of doing it. I am so stressed by this that I might not even be thinking clearly. I appreciate any replies on the subject!

Need some help on displaying pdfs.
How is the best way?. Would you place a pdf file the same folder as the html and swf? Then place an action on a button like

Thanks for any help.

Load XML Using Button
Hi guys, i've got a textbox that loads my XML data nicely.

The problem lies with getting the XML to display upon clicking of a button.

My current Actionscript for the XML to load is

//init TextArea component
myText.html = true;
myText.wordWrap = true;
myText.multiline = true;
myText.label.condenseWhite=true;

//load css
TEST = new TextField.StyleSheet();
TEST.load("test.css");
myText.styleSheet = TEST;

//load in XML
TEST = new XML();
TEST.ignoreWhite = true;
TEST.load("projectors.xml");
TEST.onLoad = function(success)

{
if(success)
{
myText.text = TEST;
}
}

I place this chunk of code within the onrelease handler, but it doesnt show in the textbox.

Sorry if i sound stupid. But i'm a newbie when it comes to flash actionscripting.

Hope some kind soul can help.

Thanx!

Want To Have A Ext Txt Pg Load Without Button
I have a bunch of pages that get loaded when you push a button. I want to have one page (home page) load when the movie starts. Im sure this is easy but ive tryed a million things and none seem to work. I finnally got it to load by using onFrameEnter. I ref'd one of the movies that is there at the begining of the movie. so I said

my_mc.onFrameEnter = function(){
(can't rem exact code here but its ok cuz this part works.) htmltext = htmlPageName
}

this worked to load the page i want on mov start but it kept it there and my button wouldn't over write it (even though they all load to level0.)

There's got to be a simpler way!

Someone make feel silly for over complicating this prob.

please!

Load Button
How can load a picture in my swf-file but I need it as a button to go to another frame. Is this possible?

Load More Than 1 Swf From A Button
Hi,

Im a bit frustrated, in my way to understand how to load more than one swf with a single button click.

I have the following:

on(press,release){
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("controlador",999);
_root.controlador.destino = _level1;
_root.controlador.onEnterFrame = function()
{
if (this.destino.getBytesLoaded() == this.destino.getBytesTotal())amp;amp;
this.getBytesLoaded>0;
_level1._y=94;
delete this.onEnterFrame;}
loadMovieNum("ZMSlide-bis.swf",1);
}

The first swf on level 0 is 800x450 so I've created 2 swf's to go on the next level which once loaded cover the same dimensions.
Above code allows ZMSlide-bis.swf (800x356) to show at y=94 and of course now what I want to do is zurpaintop.swf (800x94) to load, in this case at x=0; y=0
I hope you get my idea with this explanation.
It took me already lots of time to reach to the above (I heard it can be done with MC's but I guess that is at this time like maybe going too far, unless i got it RIGHT)
I've tried different code variations to try to add two swf calls but...
Here I am. No success yet. Please help!

Swf With Button To Load Over Itself
I have an swf that loads in another swf into a 'holder' using the following code:

_root.holder.loadMovie("index_load.swf")

stop();

The holder is only part of the swf movie.

When this index_load.swf loads in, it has a button which when pressed i want another swf to take it's place within the original swf holder.

Can't seem to get the right code.

Thanx in advance.

Flash Button Won't Load.
Hello,

I still have a problem with a Flash file that is not loading. It should be on my index page above "Touch me if you dare!":

http://www.geocities.com/schipperke_nl/

On the bark.swf on that page it is loading!:

http://www.geocities.com/schipperke_nl/bark.swf

I don't know how to fix it. Sometimes it is loading for instance in NN6 and suddenly it is gone. It isn't loading in IE6 and Opera5. I used publish settings in Flash, both swf and html, non-loop and percent (I adjusted it to 25% I guess) and I copied the script into the index.html, I also changed the background colour.

Regards,

Marc

Load Swf From A Nested Button, Help
Heres the scoop....I have my main movie going, and I have a mc "frame" loaded onto the maintimeline.

Now, this mc, frame, is made up of buttons...I want to click on one of the buttons in frame and have it load the external movie into the target "mcholder", a blank mc on the maintimeline....I have no trouble making a button loadmovie from the maintimeline, but I cant get it to work from inside the clip, I keep searching my pile of manuals hoping to figure it out, I have tried everything I can think of, I am considering bluffing it by loading the buttons over the top of the mc on the root, but I think there must be a way to do this correctly, if you can help it would be greatly appreciated, if not I will understand and just keep pluggin, seems to be the name of the game with flash! Smile! P.S. running flash 5......thank you for your time,

Just 2 Load Movie Per Button?
Hi!
I want to make a soundboard with the keyboard, like h=(sound starts)"hello", c=(sound)"can you hear me?".
I want to do it with loadmovie, because i just know this one way to do it. But when I create a button with three loadmovie actions (and unload the other two sounds), just the first two sounds (all are .swf files) work. If I create four sounds this way, the button disappears when I activate the loadmovie action.
Do I need to create more buttons for all letters? (thats 13 buttons in all...)
Or is there a better way to solve this problem (I don't know flash that well, because I haven't got an actionscript book)?
Greetings sugarcube

Button, Set Var And Load Movie?
hi everyone, formula 1 this weekend, can't wait. but now to the fun stuff...

i have a swf (the main movie) which has four buttons that will each load a swf. when a button is clicked an animation clears the stage then loads the movie. seeing as i don't want to repeat the animation 4 times i have a solution but don't know how to do it (as)...

i thought that if a button is clicked it could set a variable, eg. var = 1 then after the animation has played the load movie function will check for the value of the variable and load the right swf (the button is in an mc).

could someone help me out here (code please).

thanks
