Help With Button/movie Clip Interaction



I have 4 buttons on a page and a long rectangle movie clip that slides to a different area each time a button is clicked. The idea is similar to http://www.immigrantindustries.com/i...ords/index.htm when u go from label to news button the image slides over to the left. Basically thats all I'm trying to do. I've looked at most of the posts and no one's asked this question or had it answered so thanks in advance if anyone can help.

Movie Clip Interaction
I'm pretty sure this is an action script thing so I'm posting the question here. I'm trying to make a little animation for my girl friend, it's of a penguin. What I want is for the penguin to just sort of waddle around the screen (that's the easy part) but what I am asking about is that I want the penguin to be interactive. If you click on the penguin I want it to react to the click in some random way, like have it jump or run away or somthing. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas as to how to go about this.

Movie Clip Interaction
Hi, here is my newest problem.

I have a movie clip that repeats itself and moves down the stage evertime it repeats.

I want a blank clip to load another instance of the moving clip and begin it playing on the stage when the first instance moves across the point on the stage where the blank clip is. I also want that clip to be rotated so it moves 90 degrees differently from the original clip.

Anyone have an idea?

Changing Movie Clip Color Stops All Interaction
I have a symbol called myMovieClip that I've animated along a path. I have buttons that call play, stop, prevFrame, etc on the main timeline. This all works fine. However, when I click a button that calls...

on (release) {
trace("set color.");
c = new Color(myMovieClip)
c.setRGB(0x993399);
trace("done.");
}

...the movie clip changes color, but then the buttons don't work anymore. I can't even make it play by hitting the play button in the flash player. Anybody know what's going on? It should be way easier than this to change something's color.


thanks...

Targeting A Frame Label In A Movie Clip From A Button In A Separate Movie Clip.
I have two separate movie clips placed on a timeline-MovieclipA and MovieclipB. I have a button in MovieclipB clip that wants to target a frame label located in the MovieclipA timeline. Can someone help me?

Code 4 MovieClip Button To Load A Movie Clip Into A Placeholder Movie Clip.
Yeah that title sounds a little confusing...so i will explain:

Is there a way to tell a "movie clip button" that once it is clicked on to load a "movie clip" into a "movie clip placeholder". So instead of loading an external swf into the placeholder, it will be a movie clip from within the same library. Putting every single custom clip on the timeline would take a while, so that is why I thought it would be easier like this, and the other movie clips are not that large that I want to load into it so there is no need for external swfs, trying to keep it clean. Here is the code along the lines I am trying to go for.

__________________________________________

this.profile_mc.onRelease = function() {
placeholder_mc.loadMovie("profileSection_mc","plac eholder_mc","_root.content");
}
__________________________________________

- "profile_mc is the button I am trying to activate to load the
"profileSection_mc" into the "placeholder_mc". but so far no good.

- the movie clips are within the same library, not on the timeline or external library.

- Is this possible?

A Button Inside A Movie Clip, Within A Movie Clip, Calling Another Scene:
Is it even possible?

I have been trying to do it for the last few days for a site I am working on.

I have done searches in many forums and it's foolish looking for an answer that way, because quite frankly every thread I opened was something to do with LoadMovie or GetURL, etc.

What I have right now is on the button in my Menu Bar Movie Clip:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(285);
}

Which plays a fancy little animation in the movie clip and then on the last frame of that movie clip I had:

gotoAndPlay("Contact", 1);

Which is the Scene for the "Contact Us" Scene named "Contact"

One would think that it would load up the scene and play at frame 1, however all that happens is it reloads the movie clip of the "Menu Bar" at frame 1 and starts over, not even realizing what I asked.

Anyways, I figured there's a script or something that tells it to look outside of the movie clip or to the _Root, or whatever.

If someone has a solution, it would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry I have no example to show, since I have yet to upload it. (It's my company's web site, and I don't think customers would want to see some half-arsed web site that's not complete.

Thanks in advance.

Create A Movie Clip As A Button To Jump To Half Way Through Another Movie Clip?
hi guys and gals,
i am wondering if i can make a movie clip (as a link for a website) jump to half way through another movieclip...
thanks in advance

Control Movie Clip In Container From Button Inside Other Movie Clip
There are three movie clips involved in this question.

1. A main movie clip that has a target empty movie clip where an external swf loads.

2. A menu movie clip that is built from button symbols and has its own timeline.

3. The external movie.

When a user clicks on the menu, the external swf loads into the empty movie clip target.  This part works fine. Here's the code:
on (release) {    
    loadMovie ("Lesson1.swf", "_root.container");
}

I want to use one external swf for all lesson, versus 20 external swfs. The problem I'm having is controling at what frame the external swf loads.  I've tried adding --gotoAndStop (15) -- for example. I've also tried adding, gotoAndStop "_root.container" (15), but that doesn't work either. The gotoAndStop action ends up controlling the menu movie clip timeline instead of the movie loaded into the container. I figure this is because the menu mc has "embedded" buttons and it's own timeline.

Any  help you can offer will be much appreciated.

Thanks
Sheila



Creating A Button To Open A Movie Clip From Inside A Movie Clip?
I'm using a hexagon menu to display some images. One image is placed on each slide of the hexagon menu (which can then be rotated left and right to see other "slides").

What I want to do now is to be able to click on the object (image) as a button and for it to go to another scene which shows the image blown up and some description next to it (which is another movie)

I have tried the following which doesn't seem to work:
Created an invisible button (or choosing the image as a button) and having

on(release) {
gotoAndPlay("scene 5", 1);
}

this doesn't work when I use it over the hexagonal menu, but when I move the button to somewhere else on the screen (not over the movie) it works.


Please can someone help with this - Ive been working on it flat out over the weekend and desperately want to make it work. any ideas would be appreciated!! thank you

Loading External Movie Clip With A Button Inside Another Movie Clip Help
Hi,

I am working on a scrolling thumbnail movie clip, that when you click on the thumbnail button inside the movie clip it will load an external movie clip. I have an empty movie clip on the main stage, and have been trying all sorts of code, but for some reason it doesn't like that I am inside a movie clip using buttons. It can't seem to find the external swf.

I have tried:

on (release) {
loadMovie (ithink.swf, "loader");

and

on (release) }
if (firstTime == true) {
loadMovie("ithink.swf", _root.loader);
firstTime = false;
} else {
_root.clicked = "ithink.swf";
_root.loader.gotoAndPlay("goback");
}
}

and so far nothing, for some reaosn when I click on a button outside of the movie clip with the above code it loads... and than the other works too, but if I click on the buttons inside the scolling movie clip first they won't work.

Any suggests or ideas!!?

I would really appreciate it... I am beyond frusterated!!

Using A Button In A Movie Clip To Control The Movie(and Not Movie Clip) Timeline
Ok i have a button placed in a movie clip. I want this button, when released, to go in another scene, frame one, on the movie(scene) timeline and not on the movie clip timeline.

So i tried: gotoAndPlay("mission", 1); (mission is the name of my scene)

But it goes to the frame 1 of my movie clip, It would be great if someone could tell me how i can control the movie timeline while my button is in a movie clip

Controlling A Movie Clip From A Button Inside Another Movie Clip.
I'm confusing myself just typing this.

I'm working on an interactive map. The map itself is a MC inside a container, but also contains all the buttons as well. On my main stage(scene 1 and menu) is a window(MC) that will show info and photo of building. Now if I create a button on the main stage I can control the movieclip(images) easily. But when I use a button from inside map(MC) it doesn't seem to recognize the (images.gotoAndStop(frame))command.

I'm just not sure what to put in order to be able to control the MC's timeline from within that map movieclip.

Sorry if this is confusing. Of course at the same time it might be a simple solution for most people here as well. At least that is what I'm hoping anyways.

[CS3.AS2] Button In A Movie Clip Link To Another Movie Clip And Play
what im doing is that making a button in a movie clip link to another movie and play/stop certain parts of that clip

lets say that there are 4 buttons are in movieA, and the other clip is called movieB

when the user clicks button1 in movieA, movieB will play from frame 1 to 5 and stop.
when user clicks button2 in movieA, movieB will play from frame 5 to 10.
and so on

so far my code for button1 is:

on (release){
this._parent.movieB.gotoAndStop(5);
}

on (release){
_root.movieB.gotoAndStop(5);
}

button2:

on (release){
this._parent.movieB.gotoAndStop(10);
}

on (release){
_root.movieB.gotoAndStop(10);
}

with this code, it just jumps to the designated frame.
what i want is to have it play from current frame to a designated frame

can anyone shed some light on this?

Place Movie Clip Button Inside Movie Clip
Hi, I have searched the forum but cannot find exactly what I am looking for.
I have a movie clip of a map that I can zoom and drag and what I would like to do if possible is to have several other movie clips inside the first movie clip which when clicked go to and play at a given frame number on the timeline where a photo is displayed.

The 'several' movie clips will be small flashing red circles. Each one represents a place of interest and when clicked will display a photo of the place of interest.

Problem With Movie Clip Moving When The Mouse Passes Over A Button On The Clip
The swf in question calls up a series of ads. To change the ads the user clicks on the forward and back button. However, when you mouseover the forward and back buttons the controlBar goes a bit haywire (as a result of the mouseOut on it).

All the files are attached in a zip file. Thanks in advance for your help guys.

Stop And Play Button For Movie Clip Within Moive Clip
hi i have problems with my buttons. i have got 2 fla files. 1) shell.fla 2) content.fla.

The shell.fla has a movie clip(name:holder) to load the content.swf. And within the content.swf i have got movie clip within movie clip.

Thru a search from the forum i came across this script

first frame:


Quote:




function stopAllClips(clip) {
clip.stop();
for (var i in clip) {
if(typeof clip[i]=="movieclip") {
if(clip[i]!=clip) {
stopAllClips(clip[i]);
}
}
}
};

function startAllClips(clip) {
clip.play();
for (var i in clip) {
if(typeof clip[i]=="movieclip") {
if(clip[i]!=clip) {
startAllClips(clip[i]);
}
}
}
};




for the button:


Quote:




on (release) {
if(!_root.stopped){
_root.stopAllClips(_root.holder_mc);
_root.stopped = true;
} else {
_root.startAllClips(_root.holder_mc);
_root.stopped = false;
}
}




everything works fine except after i pause and play, i doesn't play from where it has stopped. Anyone has got any ideas as to how i can solve this problem. Thanks very much.

Movie Clip Button Inside A Movie Clip Button
Ok so I'm going crazy with creating a movie clip button inside a movie clip.

I have it working well for onRollover, but onRollout the Header_mc looks like it is not looking at the code. It is driving me crazy. Here is my Action Script code to control the two movieclip buttons.

I basicly want the Header_mc to stop when over the B_photo and on Rollout of the B_photo. I don't know why it is not working. I have attached screenshots of my Header_mc and the SWF so you can see what frame I'm calling.



/*--------------Photographers Button------------*/

this.B_photo.onRollOver = function() {
Header_mc.gotoAndPlay("_stop");
B_photo.gotoAndPlay("_over");

}

this.B_photo.onRollOut = function() {
Header_mc.stop("_stop");
B_photo.gotoAndPlay("_out");

}

this.B_photo.onRelease = function() {
B_photo.getURL("http://www.macromedia.com", "_parent");
}

/*--------------Main Header---------------------*/

this.Header_mc.onRollOver = function() {
Header_mc.gotoAndPlay("_over");

}

this.Header_mc.onRollOut = function() {
Header_mc.gotoAndPlay("_out");

}

this.Header_mc.onRelease = function() {
Header_mc.gotoAndStop("_out");

}

Button(movie Clip) In A Button(movie Clip) Help - Attached Fla
Hey guys,

I had 3 buttons in the main movie which was working fine.

an external actionscript file was responsible for the buttons' functions

playPause is the instance name of the button(made as a movie clip)


ActionScript Code:
playPause.onRollOver = function(){    if(this._currentframe == 1) this.gotoAndStop("pauseOver");    else this.gotoAndStop("playOver")}


What I wanted to do is create another button(instance name speaker) on the main movie that when a user rolls over with a mouse, it'll show the 3 buttons. Basically, a button(movie clip) in a button(movie clip).

I have this movie clip working fine but none of the action script on the original buttons are working (of course because target changed).

I have tried the following and it will not work (in external .as file)-


ActionScript Code:
speaker.playPause.onRollOver = function(){    if(this._currentframe == 1) this.gotoAndStop("pauseOver");    else this.gotoAndStop("playOver")}


here is the fla (for the test file, i simply put the as code in the frame and not external as file)
www.yooniq.net/dante/testmp.fla

and here is what i'm talking about

any suggestions? it'll be greatly appreciated.

Button Send To Other Button In Learning Interaction
I'm working with Macromedia's Learning Interactions and need to have a different style button that the user would press to submit their answer to go to the next page and continue with the quiz. Macromedia has stated that the Pushbutton Component MUST be used due to interactions with the code.
I was wondering if i could move their button off the stage and have my own button on the stage so that when MY button gets clicked it sends some kind of "button is clicked" code to Macromedia's button. Anyone know if this is possible and if so how?? Thanks!

Move Movie Clip On Button Clip
This is a script that causes a movie clip to move down to a new location when a button nested inside the movie clip is released. can anyone tell me how to write the code so that when a different button is pressed the movie clip will move back to its original position. I am trying to learn actionscript 2.0 by taking the posted files apart and so on, I have a ton o books none of which are too helpful so I could really use some help. What the heck is "ty". I decided to join the forum because books were not cutting it! LOL

here is the code thanks.

ActionScript Code:
// this is the main button to start the slide show
collButtHolder.slide1.onRelease = function() {
    //move the to menu down to reveal the slide show components
    slide(collButtHolder,324);
    // call the function to set up slide show or reset it you had other buttons
    // this is where you set your path to the photos and how many photos are in that folder.
    resetSlideShow("images/slide1/", 15);
    collectionMenu.bName.text = "slide1";
};

function slide(mc, ty) {
    mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
        mc._y += (ty-mc._y)/5;
        if (Math.abs(ty-mc._y)<0.4) {
            this._y = ty;

MC Button Interaction
ugh, somone correct me. I have a MC named "invisi" that is set to alpha 0. I also have a button, and attached to the button I have this script:
on (rollOver) {
setProperty ("invisi", _alpha, "50");
}
on (rollOut) {
setProperty ("invisi", _alpha, "0");
}
on (press) {
gotoAndPlay (20);
}
Simply, I want the MC "invisi" to be put at 50% alpha when the mouse goes over the button and set it back to 0% when the mouse leaves the button. The script looks right to me...but its not working. Please help if you can.

Button Interaction
I have been trying to make a animated button that links to a page for months now, tried many different tutorials but still cannot manage it. Is there ANY tutorial out there that explains it right from the start to actually putting into Dreamweaver?...none of the tutorials on this site or most of the sites I have been to do...

Really frusfrating, once I understand this I can imagine the rest is not quite as complicated

Button Interaction
could anyone tell me how i could do this:

i want the user to press a button, and this sets off a countdown timer, if the timer is above 0, they are able to press a 2nd button. if the timer is below 0 the 2nd button is disabled...

my actionscripting is a bit rusty and any help would be great!

Interaction Between State Button
Hello, beginners and french (sorry for my poor english) wanting to learn and understand.

I have a whole series of button mc, apart from the fact that they come alive in RollOver, pass another state " this.OnRelease this.gotoAndStop (2)" , it indicates which button is activated
The problem is that they remain in position OnRelease when I click on another button.
I would like to know how to click on another button (not a RollOut), so preceding buttons clicked go in their original positions "gotoAndStop (1)" ?.
Am I clear ?
I understand that a variable and perhaps even an array is needded but this goes far beyond my understanding.
Thank you

[mx] Elasticity And Button Interaction
Using the elasticity tutorial on here, I made a navigation with bars that enter frame with elasticity. I'm trying to get the rollOver to work so that it shifts a little when the mouse rolls over. What I am having trouble with is the the rollOut... for it to go back to its normal position it jumps to the original position and then does the elasticity, instead of moving to the original from the rollOver position. Hope that makes sense here is a link to what I am talking about: http://www.spindriftpro.com/test

Go to Serve you section (blue), then click on the print button, the rollOver is applied to the info button.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Button Interaction In A Menu
http://www.simonwatson.com/

Hi guys,

If you look at the above site, you can see what I'm hoping to do. When you click on a menu item, the other items fade out, so you can see clearly which one you selected. That's the easy bit!

Notice how if you hover back over the menu once clicking on something, the rest of the links go back to nearly full alpha? And then when you roll off the menu, it remembers which one you had selected and only that stays not faded?

I'm assuming it's done with variables, but I'm not very good with them yet, so would really appreciate a hand!

[mx] Elasticity And Button Interaction
Using the elasticity tutorial on here, I made a navigation with bars that enter frame with elasticity. I'm trying to get the rollOver to work so that it shifts a little when the mouse rolls over. What I am having trouble with is the the rollOut... for it to go back to its normal position it jumps to the original position and then does the elasticity, instead of moving to the original from the rollOver position. Hope that makes sense here is a link to what I am talking about: http://www.spindriftpro.com/test

Go to Serve you section (blue), then click on the print button, the rollOver is applied to the info button.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Jumping To A Scene From Button In A Movie Clip Button?
I need to jump to a scene from a button inside a movie clip of ascene. Can any one please help? On the frame for the button in the movie clip I have this action script:

gotoAndPlay ("presCambells", "presCamp");
continue;
}

It works (with enable simple button action) in flash, however, when I publish and preview as a swf flash file it just shows the current scene with the movie clip looping after I click on it. Please Help.

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
