Flash buttons problem

Hi All,
I am looking to attach this code to a flash button on click
<form method="POST">
<P><Input type="submit" value="table lamp on"
name="run_event"></P>
</form>
the code above sends a command to run an event to my home
automation server
thanks in advance

You cannot apply links to Flash elements using HTML. All
interactivity in
such elements MUST be done in Flash Actionscript.

Flash button problem when scrolling

Hello.
I posted this in Dreamweaver forum as well....just in case.
I am using flash buttons for email links in my web site
rather than html email links to help with spamming.
They work great except for one thing. In my site I have a
fixed Div on the left of my pages. The content scrolls sideways
underneath the fixed div. However....the flash buttons scroll over
the TOP of the fixed div while the rest of the content goes under
as it is supposed to. I have the fixed div set at z-index of 2.
This isn't an issue in Firefox, only IE7, so far.
Any one know of an easy fix for this rather than creating a
new div for each of the buttons?
Here is the link to the problem page - its the email link in
red towards the end of the page. Watch the link go OVER the drums
as you scroll. (it should go under)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello,
Try this and see if it works
In your HTML go to where the <object> tag is that loads
your flash button.
Add this parameter within it.
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
Then add the following inside the <embed> tag
wmode="transparent"

Phone keeps ringing on the caller's end - Is This a Call Waiting and Flash Button Problem?

I had FIos phone service installed 2 weeks ago. I am having a sporadic but regularly occurring issue with incoming calls that I think might be related to the Call Waiting and flash button so I am looking for some input. Before describing the issue here are a couple of things to know:
- I have my Verizon voice mail service turned off on my account.
- I have the call waiting function set to off.
- On my phone handset the Talk and Flash operation is the same button.
Now here is my issue. Often but not 100% of the time people are telling me that the phone just rings and rings on their end. After receiving many complaints since my Fios install that the phone rings and my phone answering machine does not pick up the call I have been calling my home phone number with my cell phone and I have determined the following:
1. My home answering machine will pick up the call, however on my cell phone which is the calling end the phone is still just ringing.
2. Sometimes I will press the talk button but there will be dead air but on my cell phone which is the calling end it will still be ringing.. But if I press the Talk/Flash button a couple of times the call completes.
Since my Talk and Flash button are the same I started to wonder if that is a factor so I repeated scenarios above and found that after pressing the Talk button a couple of times then the call is answered and the phone stops ringing on the caller's end.
I know that with Call Waiting the caller's end will just keep ringing unless the called end switches over with the Flash button. So my question is even though I have the Call Waiting function turned off could the combination Talk/Flash button be the reason why the call just rings on the caller's end even though I have Call Waiting turned off? And f this is the cause then why is it happening and does it mean that I have to buy a new phone that has separate Talk and Flash buttons?
I hope the above description of my problem makes sense and can be answered. Thank you

Without buying a new phone you can test this. Unplug the phone that has the combination button. If its a cordless phone base station with multiple handsets, make sure you unplug those as well. Then use a regular phone plugged in to do test calls (if you dont have one you could maybe borrow one for a couple minutes from a friend, family, or neighbor).

Flash button problem

Hi
I am quite new to actionscript but when building a simple app
that calculates amounts when you press on a button it only works if
I use a library button and not my customised one. I have checked
that the button is a button symbol and has four states but whenever
I use my own customised button I get error message...the library
button works fine with the actionscript.
Here is the error message I get with my custom button - any
idea why?
thanks
Em
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=buttons, frame=1:Line 2:
Invalid mouse event specified.
on(click) {
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=buttons, frame=1:Line 3:
Statement must appear within on handler
with(_parent){
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=buttons, frame=1:Line 6:
Unexpected '}' encountered
Total ActionScript Errors: 3 Reported Errors: 3

Know the type of button:
1. Button Symbols made in library:
on (press)
on (release)
on (rollOver)
This appears the one you are deploying.
See
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00001752.html
2. The Flash Button Component:
... where there is a click event handler
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00003114.html
3. Custom buttons created with a MovieClip Symbol.
Use Actionscript and the methods for responding to events for
example onRelease -

Flash button problem in Firefox

Hello.
I am using a flash button to replace html email links
throughout the site as a method to control email spamming.
A lot of the areas I am doing this, the flash email link
appears amidst a paragraph of text.
This seems to work and displays perfectly in IE.
However, in firefox, the embedded flash object wants to start
a new line/paragraph which messes up the flow of text.
Does anyone know a fix for this?
Here is a link to a page where this is happening. Scroll
horizontally to the 2nd to last column (under "who would have said
any cover band would have lasted 18 years?") and note the EMAIL
link in red in EXPLORER. Then look at it in FIREFOX and see how it
starts a new line with a gap.
http://dev.informarch.com/wm/feature/feature.html
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
(by the way...I know horizontal scrolling is not
preferred...but thats not what this thread is about....thank
you.)

Flash buttons problems when screen text set to medium in Windows 7

Anyone else have this problem that when
users have set windows 7 to Medium 125% screen size (not screen resolution), the clickable area on all buttons
in a flash menu/file are off. It's like the area to click for the button is not resized with the graphics and are no longer located over the button but stays where it is when screen size is set to 100%. With a more complicated menu, it makes it nearly impossible to click buttons at the bottom of the menu as the clickable area is located twoor more buttons up. It also seems to be happening with newer Flash files. On older versions it's not happening and the clickable area is scaled with the graphics in the Flash file. Please help!

Flash button problems

The company i work for build computer based exams in Flash MX
2004 Pro.
We decided to make the dynamic text boxes which displays the
exam questions selectable. This is so an external speech software
can read the text when copied. After doing this the buttons on the
page that load in the new questions (from inside the action script)
sometimes stop working, as if they were enabled false... This only
happens for one or 2 clicks then it just starts going again.
The pointer changes from the little hand back to the arrow
and the button stops clicking, even when you are right over the
clicking area.
It makes no difference how fast or slow you click it still
happens.
There seems to be no pattern in the way that it stops just
when it feels like it.
Also i tried moving and the buttons so there a good way apart
from the text box yet this still seems to happen.
Asoon as i make the text boxes on screen unselectable it all
starts working correctly again.
If anyone has any ideas why this is happening can you please
reply and let me know....
or email me on
[email protected]
or
[email protected]

Hello Ricky.
I'm not sure if this will solve your problem, though I can
take a stab at it. Do your buttons contain text also? Sometimes if
I find buttons with text that is not selectable behaving slightly
blinky, I make sure the text inside the button is a movie clip and
the situation resolves. It seems to produce a more stable hit state
overall.
I hope this helps, though if not, I am sure someone will
reply again.

Flash button problem! please help!

hello-
I haven't used flash to create a website for a while and I am feeling really lost. I have looked through countless forums and such and tried all sorts of things but nothing seems to be working. Basically- I have a set of 6 soon to be buttons and two movie clips. I want each of the buttons to trigger a certain part of both movie clips to play as well as going to a web page. There is also a little character at the bottom that I want to play part of a movie clip when clicked. (I'm sorry if this sounds really jumbled). I have figured out multiple ways so that when I click the little character it will play the clip-I placed the action to do this in the main timeline. However the action that plays this little movie clip plays it no matter what I click on. How do I make sure that only a certain thing I click on plays the action?
I'm not sure if I am placing the actions in the correct part of the timeline or what I am doing wrong. I am having trouble finding information on how to keep the actions separate.
I also want the first 10 or so frames of one of the movie clips to loop continuously except when another part of the clip plays.
each of the buttons is on a separate layer in the main timeline as are each of the movie clips.
if you think that you can help I can send the flash file.
I am very new to any action scripting- and appreciate the help!

A mouseDown event is a molouse related event, not an interactioon event with an object, so anytime you press down anywhere with the molouse it will trigger.
Give your buttons/movieclips iinstance names (via the properties panel), and then assign event handling functionaliuty to them. Let's say you name one of them "btn1"...
stop();
_root.frogdance.stop();
btn1.onRelease = function() {
_root.frogdance.play(4);

Problem with Flash Button Sticking

I am adding Handlers to Mouse Events using action Script 3.
The buttons move up and down when rolling over the button. So you
have that "wave effect" when navigating the site.
The problem I am having is that if you rollout of the button
before the button is done playing the movie it freezes at that
point of the movie.
Has anyone had this problem before? Can anyone help?
THANKS!

The standard reply is -
1. Why are you using frames since there are many compelling
reasons not to?
2. Why are you using Flash navigation since there are many
compelling
reasons not to?
Most people here don't work with (assiduously avoid) both of
those critters,
so, you may have trouble getting a more explicit response!

Problem layering FLASH buttons over embedded VIMEO video

Hi all,
I am trying to layer my flash buttons over an embedded vimeo video, see the problem, rollover "The Boys" button: http://thehallbrothers.com/index3.html
I have set the vimeo video in a DIV called "stagereel" and the flash buttons in a DIV called "buttons1."
The z-index of "stagereel" is set to 0 and "buttons1" is set to 3, but nonetheless "buttons1" shows behind "stagereel."
Can anyone help?
Thanks
J

Thanks for all your help Ned, but I found out the problem. When layering multiple FLASH files within the same HTML document the layer position of the FLASH elements is determined by the order of the HTML code – meaning, whatever FLASH file is last in the code will display in the topmost layer. So for my problem I just swapped the position of the Vimeo video with my flash buttons and bam the buttons play on top of the video. Hope this maybe helps others.
SOLVED.

Firefox Problems with Flash Button alignment

Hey Forums,
I am using Dreamweaver CS3, for a website. For the page I
used a 3 column elastic with header and footer.
On the left sidebar I have four flash buttons, and whenever I
preview the page in Mozilla Firefox, the upmost button for some
reasons aligns to the right. I have no alignment settings set, and
the alignment for the sidebar is set to left. It only happens in
Firefox, not Safari nor Internet Explorer. I attached the code, if
you need anymore info, ask.

Problems inserting flash buttons in CS3

I used to be able to do this but it's not working like it had
been.
When I go to insert a flash button using the built-in styles,
it gives me a source that is "undefined" and does not create the
SWF file of the button. This happens on a site that is already
using these buttons and a new website I created to test it out.
I'm on a MacBook Pro with 10.5.6, Dreamweaver CS3.
Any insight would be very appreciated. Thanks.

Are you really set on using Flash buttons? You understand
that there are
many good reasons not to?
