Button Not Functioning In Movie Clip
I've made a button inside a movie clip, When I click on the button I want it to move the playhead inside the movie clip. However, when I click on the button nothing happens, but the little hand appears showing that the flash player recognizes that a button is there.

I put a on(press)/trace() on the main movie in the timeline and found that when I click the mouse button it is pressing on the movie in the main timeline, not on the button inside the movie, even though the cursor changes to a hand only over the area of the button inside the movie.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I am so stuck.

Thank you

How To Get This Radio Button Quiz Functioning?
Hi,

I'm trying to create a quiz which consists of 5 multiple choice questions per frame. Each answer can be selected by way of selecting a radio button. What I want to be able to eventually is store whether the person got the correct answer and at the end of the quiz give them a percentage score, and feedback on questions that they got wrong.

At the moment, I'm not sure whether I'm adopting the correct approach:

I've created the radio buttons and I've created a global variable that will store a value (1 for right answer and 0 for wrong answer) and these will all be called upon in the final frame for the final calculations. But at the moment, I cant even get the global variable to appear in the next frame in a dynamic text field when you click on 'next'

Can someone please see what I'm doing wrong and point me in the right direction? I've attached the file below.

Thanks

Loop Add Button Not Functioning Correctly
Hey all,

I have been trying to get a for loop to produce buttons based on a value.

My current code is:

var xPosition:Number = 50;
var yPosition:Number = 15;

//problem one is that "rows" is a variable from the html page the swf is
on, I have had it working on other flash programs, but unable to get it
working on this, but for the purpose of this, I can replace it with a
numeric value e.g. "3".
//but this causes the main problem, if it is set to 3, the 3rd button
only appears, if set to 2 the 2nd button only appears.

for(i=0;i<rows;i++){

_root.attachMovie("button","btn"+i,_root.getNextHighestDepth());

_root["btn"+i]._x = xPosition;
_root["btn"+i]._y = yPosition;

yPosition = yPosition + 25;

//Does anyone have any idea's for this?

Thanks in advance.

A Cross Platform Functioning Button
I'm building a hybrid CD that has buttons in it that launch .pdfs.
To do so on the PC side I'm using JStart so that when a button is clicked it runs an executable that launches the .pdf in Reader:
on (release) {
fscommand("Exec", "JSTART_GS_02gs.EXE");
}

FYI - "JSTART_GS_02gs.EXE" points to the .pdf called GS_02gs.pdf

On the MAC side I'm using a get url command to launch the .pdf:
on (release) {
getURL("MM/fscommand/GS_02gs.pdf");
}

fscommand is the folder where the .pdfs and JStart files are located. They have to be here in order for them to launch correctly on the PC side.

Rignt now I have two buttons for each .pdf - one for MAC and one for PC. I'd like to use just one button for both of these commands. If I put both of these commands on one button they both work, however on the PC side it also pulls up a blank web page due to the "get url" for the MAC side. Is it possible to have the PC side ignore the "get url" command, but not ignore it on the MAC side? Should I be using an entirely different code structure to make this happen?

thanks!

Having Real Newbie Trouble With A Button Functioning
I have created a button with a mouseover OVER and DOWN text change and an underline, with [I thought] an URL linked onrelease.

However, none of it works, despite my trying to follow directions exactly. If anyone would be able to let me know where I've gone wrong, that'd be so sweet of you!

I have uploaded my FLA here.

Thanks so much.

Movieclip On Root Timeline Functioning As Button
I have a movie clip on my main timeline that is functioning as an invisible button. For some reason the actionscript that I have on the clip doesn't want to control the main timeline. Here's the code:

onClipEvent (load){
this._alpha = 0
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest (_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
_root.gotoAndPlay (2);
}else {
_root.gotoAndStop (1);
}
}

Button Inside Movie Clip Is Not Functioning AT ALL
Hi,

I have made a movie clip which I've named 'portfolio'. This movie clip plays when rolled over and goes to a frame labeled 'pressed' when pressed. Inside this MC I have a button called cmres. The instance is as a button too. I have a rollover state on the button but it's not showing up..

Also, I use code on the main timeline like so.

portfolio.cmres.onRelease = function() {
portfolio.gotoAndStop(1);
}

which from what I've been reading should work but isn't. What gives?

Thanks in Advance,
Stan

Button Within Nested Movie Clip Not Functioning
Hi everyone!

Really need some help. I love Flash, but this is just killing me!

I'm putting together a website using an external AS3 file document class called "Master". The site is laid out inside a main movie clip container called "mainContainer". Inside, a "mainNav" movie clip contains 3 buttons that point the time line to frame labels. These frames contain additional movie clips for each page of the site. I have the 3 buttons in mainNav working fine. The issue I'm running into is getting an additional button called "testBTN" nested within one of the page MCs called "methods" to work. I'm getting the "TypeError: Error #1009..." output (yes, I've double checked that my instances are named). Perhaps there is something about scope I'm not understanding? A strange and possibly related issue I had earlier was with the three main buttons. They fade in half way through the mainNav clip, but I couldn't get them to function until I placed an invisible (alpha 0) copy of each at frame 1 of that clip. mainNav also exists on frame 1 of the mainContainer, whereas methods/testBTN is down the line. I have a feeling this has something to do with it, but I'm hoping there is a way to address it...

Anyway, here is my code. The suspect lines are bold:

ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

public class Master extends MovieClip {
public function Master() {

//button event listeners
mainContainer.mainNav.BTNmain.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMainClick, false, 0, true);
mainContainer.mainNav.BTNmethods.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMethodsClick, false, 0, true);
mainContainer.mainNav.BTNservices.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onServicesClick, false, 0, true);

[b]mainContainer.methods.testBTN.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onTestClick, false, 0, true);[/b]

}

//navigate by frame label
private function onMainClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
mainContainer.gotoAndStop("main");
}
private function onMethodsClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
mainContainer.gotoAndStop("methods");
}
private function onServicesClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
mainContainer.gotoAndStop("services");
}

[b]public function onTestClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
mainContainer.gotoAndStop("main");
}[/b]

}
}

But until know I don't know how to make _global work or if this is the best solution someone can give a hand on this one? (step by step plz)

Thank you.

Put a trace inside the onRelease function to see if that is getting called at all. Make sure that the button with the instance name sym_link exists at the at the timeline point that you have placed the code.

Button/navigation Issues...care To Look At My SIMPLE, Yet Non-functioning FLA?
Hey there,
I have attached my FLA, and I am stumped. I KNOW this should be super simple.
I have a very simple, common setup. main window with some navigation buttons.
I have a layer for actionscript, and a layer for labels.
currently, I have only tried to get the "home" and "contact" buttons working.
I can get a little bit of functionality if I put the AS on the button. Yes, I know this is not best practice, but it was working. Sort of.
When I click my "home" button from the initial window, I get the home window reloading, as I would like. When I click the contact button, it loads an external SWF, contact.swf. great.
But when I am in the "contact" mode, and I hit the "home" button, I get nothing.

Now, if I move the AS to the actions layer (changing the on(release) to onRelease, etc...), I get NO functionality at all. I have no clue what I am doing wrong. There aren't miles of code to go through here. just this basic navigation.

Thanks...

ok, attaching the fla is no-go, too big. (2.9 MB). So you can find it here:

I have a 2nd button inside a mc which is inside another mc
– the path is _root. logomapmc. handshake , 2nd button is inside handshake mc - to perform exactly the same function , on which is issued the very same commands ;
When pressed this 2nd button runs the scene timeline to the frame 5 but the movie does not load ;
What is wrong ?

[MX] What's Wrong With My Button?
As navigational buttons in a frameset I use 5 flash buttons. Now I've tested them in Safari/FF/Netscape for Mac and FF/IE6 for XP and they worked. But I've received two mails from people saying on their computer my buttons don't work? One of them has tried it on FF/IE7 for XP. In the attached file are the fla file of 1 button and a part of the html that imports one of the swf buttons. I'm using Adobe's active content script so that IE7 users don't have to click the flash items on my site to activate them.

Can someone debug this short flash file. Or at least explain why for some people my buttons wouldn't work (loading new content in the contentframe) as expected?

Button Gets Wrong Value From XML ?
I have this script :

PHP Code:

menuXml.onLoad = function(success) {
    if (success) {

        menuItem = this.firstChild.childNodes;

        for (var i = 0; i<menuItem.length; i++) {
            item = menus.attachMovie("itemClip", "itemClip"+i, i);
            buttonLabel = menuItem[i].attributes.name;
            item._x = 0;
            item._y = 30*i;
            item.itemLabel.text = buttonLabel;
            trace(buttonLabel);//output = correct
            item.onRelease = function() {
                trace(buttonLabel);//output = NOT correct
                thumbXml.load("http://localhost/automate/thumbcounter1.asp?gallery=" + buttonLabel);
                //buttonLabel value always takes the last in the XML file ?
            }
        }
    }
};

Once I click on a button the highest value from my XML is set to each button, do I make a fundamental mistake here ?
TIA !

Help With Button Going To Wrong Frame
Hi, I think there is an easy answer to this but couldn't find it by searching, and I'm pretty new so I don't know it. I have a simple movie that contains a movie clip. This movie clip has a couple of buttons in it that are thumbnailed pictures (one called pic1, and another called pic2). I tell pic1 button to
On (Release)
Begin Tell Target ("/")
Go to and Play ("pic1")
End Tell Target
End On

and I tell pic2 button to
On (Release)
Begin Tell Target ("/")
Go to and Play ("pic2")
End Tell Target
End On

(Pic1 and pic2 are the label names of the main timeline where the larger images of pic1 and pic2 are located)

The movie works fine if I click pic1, it shows the larger image and if I then click pic2, it shows the larger pic2. The problem is that if I click on pic2 twice in a row, it appears and then disappears and if I click on pic1 twice in a row, it shows the large pic1 and then the large pic2. I ahve also tried this with going to the frame numbers instead of the labels. Why does it work the first time it is clicked, but the second time in a row, it either disappears or goes to the wrong frame/label?

Any help would be much appreciated...sorry I'm so long winded.

Editing A Button Goes Wrong..
Currently I'm working on some kind of a slideshow for my company's website. This slideshow includes 2 buttons, back and forward. When I made actionscript for the back-button I copied it to the other instance, forward. This didn't work, something went wrong so what I did finally was copy-pasting the back button and rename it to forward.

But now I need to edit those two buttons so I can add sound to them. But when I edit them now I don't see the timeline with 'up','down','hit' etc. but I see the normal timeline instead. How can I fix this ?

Button==>Movieclip What Am I Doing Wrong?
Okay, Ive delved back into Flash again after a falling out, and have been able to solve most of my problems such as preloaders quite easily, but Attatching Movieclips to Buttons still evades me. Here is what Im doing:

Step 1: Create a Movie Clip. In my test case it was a Rotating Square 20 Frames long with Motion Tween.

Step 2: Create a Button
S1-Insert Keyframes for Up and Hit.
S2-Insert Keyframes for Down and Over by Dragging and Dropping the Movieclip centered in the frame.

Step 3: Enable Simple Button Actions so that I can see my Button in action but all it does is show the first frame of the Movieclip.

Any and all help on this matter is appreciated. I had one person help me a few months ago on this (Yes I still after this long time still have this problem), but he was using the MAC version of Flash MX so didnt work out to well. I appreciate all help, thanks.

Submit Button? What Did I Do Wrong?

What's Wrong With This Dynamic Button
I have created a moviclip to act as a button.

In my actions layer I have written the following code and placed it on frame 1 with a stop action.

b1_btn.butText_mc.buttonText.text = "Building Information";

there is also a different button (lets call that button Y) that sends the playhead to frame 5.

I placed a new keyframe in the actions panel at frame 5 that says stop();

but by creating that new keyframe in the actions panel, now the text "Building Information" does not populate into my b1_btn. do I need to copy this code and reinsert it everytime i place a new keyframe on the actions layer???

any help would be great.

Button Inheriting Wrong Value
I have 4 buttons and each one moves the bg image to a specific location.
Button 2, 3 and 4 all work great but button 1 goes somewhere else and I don't understand why. If I try changing the value it still goes to this wrong location regardless.

here is the code on my buttons

Code:
// Button1
on (press) {
_root.targX = 0;
_root.targY = 64;
}

// Button2

on (press) {
_root.targX = -162.2;
_root.targY = 64;
}

// Button 3

on (press) {
_root.targX = -292.9;
_root.targY = 64;
}

// Button 4

on (press) {
_root.targX = -414.4;
_root.targY = 64;
}

// and on the BG image I have the following

onClipEvent(load){
_root.targX=0;
_root.targY=64;
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
cX=this._x;
cY=this._y;
difX=cX-_root.targX;
difY=cY-_root.targY;
setProperty(this, _x, cX-(difX/5));
setProperty(this, _y, cY-(difY));
}

Nav Button Goes To Wrong (next) Frame
I have a Flash file with two layers (top, bottom) and five frames.
The top layer is for the nav bar with give buttons, one for each frame.
The bottom layer is for each of five different screen views. It works
great except when you click on the button that corresponds to the
frame you are on. When you do, it actually goes to the NEXT frame.
What is going on and how can I fix this error?

The button action I am using is:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(x);
}

x is the frame that corresponds to the screen I want to display

Using Flash 8

What's Wrong With This Button Code
Dear All,

I am trying to set up a button handler for many buttons rather just one. The
intention of this code is to say if I press Load1 to Load40 that button and
only that button's alpha should change to 50%. This code makes them all 50%
alpha when the frame loads rather than on the onPress event.

Can someone please help me out with this one?

i = 0;
while (i<40) {
this["Load"+i].onPress = btnEvaluate(this["Load"+i]);
++i;
}

function btnEvaluate(target_btn:Button) {
target_btn._alpha = 50;
}

Thanks again.

Simple Button, Don't Know What's Wrong
I'm trying to make a button in scene 1 link to frame 1 of scene 2 on release. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm using flash 8.

here's the code i'm using for the button:

Code:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 2", 1);
}

If I don't put

Code:

stop();

for the actions of the frame that the button is in then it goes to the next scene automatically. But when I use it, it does nothing when clicked on, it just stays in the frame with the button. Help!

Whats Wrong With My Button Code?
Hi, I have a button which is supposed to load a players data into my data2 movie clip. This is the code I have on the button
on (press) {
if (length(this["players"+(code+0)])) {
_level0.data2.loadVariables("http://localhost/playerinfo.php?"+this["playersid"+(code+0)]);
}
}
when I click the button no data loads into the clip. When I test the playerinfo.php file it gets the players data fine.
So I seem to be stumped as to why the data isnt going into my movie clip...can anyone tell me if there is something wrong with my actionscript for the button?

Actionscript Button Codes Gone Wrong?
Hello there! Im pretty new to "FlashKit" Ive used "FlashKit" Itself for help on flash but then i look around and im just like.. Wait a minute.. Theres a fourm?!?! So here i am.. Anyway. I have a short question. The other day i was working on a little RPG kind of game. The one with the buttons where you click to go in a door, Click to go in the next room, Click to read something and so on.. Anyway. I have used the code below..

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(Whatever Frame ...);
}

to make the buttons. Where it says whatever frame in the code that would be where i put my frame number. This worked for a while untill i got to like my 6th or 5th frame. Once i got there the buttons wouldent do anything when i made them.. And i also made sure that i had a stop(); code on each frame. Could someone help me and or tell me what ive been doing wrong? Or is this just a glitch in flash? O yeah. I dont know if this matters but im using flash pro 8.

EDIT: Is this in the wrong section? Because i just noticed theres a actionscript section hahah.
Thanks

[MX] Button Links In A Movie... What Am I Doing Wrong?
Hi there

I havn't used Flash in a while and I'm attempting to create a nice website. Here is my dilema.

For my menu I am using an image scroll, where the mouse rolls over the images and moves them left or right. My question is how do you then turn each image into a link to another page. I have tried the usual:

on (release) {
gotoAndStop(Scene1", 2);
}

But this unfortunately does nothing.
I'm guessing some more advanced script is needed but I don't know what?

Can you help me? It would be very much appreciated...

I have already used the tutorials in FLASHKIT to create a few scroll variations (that are attached) but have had no success with the links.

If Button Clicked Twice, Goes To Wrong Frame
Just to simplify this.. Let's say I have 2 frames.. Named frame1 and frame2.

(frame1) (frame2)

On frame 1, I have 2 buttons. There scripts read as followed:
------------------------
on (release) {
stopAllSounds();
gotoAndPlay("frame1");
}
-------------------------------
on (release) {
stopAllSounds();
gotoAndPlay("frame2");
}
--------------------------

The idea is, if the first button is pushed, it just re-plays frame1.
If the second button is pushed, it plays frame2. Each frame has its own action script to stop(); (if I put GotoAndStop("frame1"); it doesn't play the audio on that frame.. so I used a gotoandplay then put a stop script on the frame itself)

Going to frame2 works fine.. but if I push the button to goto frame1, it still goes to frame 2. If I keep pushing this button it will actually start to go back in forth between going to frame1 and frame2.

So, why if I'm on frame1, if I push the button to goto frame1, it alternates between going to frame1 and frame2?

I have the same 2 buttons on frame2. I can go back to frame1.. but if I push the button to goto frame2(which I'm allready on) it alternates between frame2 and frame3.

Probably a simple mistake I made.. but I can't find it.

Any help is appreciated.
