Action Scripting for button

I created a little 'movie clip' of a continuous animation and
want to make it a button that can be used in dreamweaver. I was
told I would have to link it from flash (as dreamweave can not link
a swf file to a webpage). I was having a problem trying to action
script the movie clip - when I selected the 'movie clip' graphic it
said: Current selection can not have actions applied to it. How
should this be done?
Thanks

you're right - that should work. my first thing that i test
when something like that happens is that every keyframe in the
tween contains exactly the same instance. A common problem is that
the instance name of the clip may be slightly different(eg a space
somewhere) in different keyframes.
Rather than looking for the problem, I usually just clear the
keyframes in the tween and then put them back in. In your case I
cleared the keyframe on frame 12 on layer "see more" and then
inserted keyframe(returning it to color: None) and tested the
movie. The button works fine!
So then i went back to your original movie to try to find
what was inconsistent between the two keyframes in 'see more' and
couldn't find the problem... so anyway, this looks like a situation
where we may not know the reason for the problem but at least we've
found the solution...

Action Script and button Behavior

Imported a bmp as png, made it into a movie clip. Setup the
AS to call for page 4. It works great. I would now like to have a
text box come up on the rollover. I tried to nest the mc into a
button. I can make the text box work but the script won’t
work when I click.
Could you refer me to a resource that would explain the
relationship between the two. Or is there another way to do this.
So the text box says “Click here for more Info”.
Can’t click to execute Action Script, I think it is not
addressable because it’s nested in the button.
If I reverse the nesting then the text box in the over frame
won’t execute.

Sorry, a bit chaotic and i can't really get your arrangement.
Please upload what you have so far, we will go from there.
There is so many ways to achieve the same thing in flash that
there
is no point going into it, could turn up suggested solution
totally
does not suit your project. Need to see what you have so far.

Error in action script and button

I have a page that i have designed for practice. i have three
buttons on each page and have been tring to get them to link to the
proper page/frame. For instance the button for ABOUT US should link
to the second page/frame. The code i am using is as follows.
on (release) {gotoAndStop(2);
This should have it go to page/frame 2 and stop but when i
test it it gives me this error.
Scene 1, Layer 'about', Frame 1, ... 1087: Syntax error:
extra characters fou... on (release) {gotoAndStop(2);
I am using action script 1.0 & 2.0. I am not sure what to
do.

The way that this function is written, on (release), it
should be
directly attached to a button or movieClip instance. However,
the
gotoAndStop(2) command is telling the button or clip to go to
frame 2,
not the main timeline. If you change that line to
_parent.gotoAndStop(2), you'll get the playback head on the
main
timeline to move, not the playback head in that button or
clip.
A far better method is to assign instance names to each
button or
movieClip that you want to react to actionscript. Then you
can write the
function(s) for those instance names. You would write the
actionscript
to a frame instead of directly on the button or clip. This
makes the
actionscript much easier to find when you need to edit.
So, for instance, you could then write a set of functions to
move the
playback head. Something like this:
// we'll assume that the buttons are named button1, button2,
button3
button1.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop(X);
button2.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop(Y);
button3.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop(Z);
// where X,Y and Z are the frame numbers that you want to
move to
// you don't need an explicit reference for the timeline for
the
playback head to use here. The code and the objects are all
on the same
timeline.

Is Action Script for netStreaming and FLVPlayback component radically different, not interchangeabl?

Hi.
I am using NetConnection and NetStream to play back flv in Flash Pro CS5.5, and trying to add cue point to trigger events using Action Script, and to automatically rewind to the start at the end. There is no problem to trigger events via AS when the cue points are embedded, but i am unable to add cue points using AS.
When i use an FLVPlayback component, there is no problem to add cue points (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ActionScript/3.0_UsingComponentsAS3/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d1 18a9c65586-7feb.html) and to loop the playback using autoRewind (and fl.video.VideoEvent.AUTO_REWOUND which i got from Nafem at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/857036).
However, i am failing to use this same code w/a netConnection and netStream, and would appreciate any help.
thanks.

Hello,
Well, I've got some help from another helpful fellow at macscripter.net and I have a working script - albeit a bit more specific (ie, hardcoded extensions to look for) and a different approach.
Here's the script:
on adding folder items to thisFolder after receiving addedItems
repeat with movieFile in addedItems
set {Nm, Ex} to getName_andExtension(movieFile)
set movieFilePath to (thisFolder as text) & Nm & ".avi"
set subtitleFile to (thisFolder as text) & Nm & ".srt"
if Ex is ".srt" then
try
tell application "iFlicks"
import (movieFilePath as alias) with gui
end tell
end try
else if Ex is ".avi" then
if my FinderItemExists(subtitleFile) then
try
tell application "iFlicks"
import (movieFilePath as alias) with gui
end tell
end try
end if
end if
end repeat
end adding folder items to
on getName_andExtension(F)
set F to F as Unicode text
set {name:Nm, name extension:Ex} to info for file F without size
if Ex is missing value then set Ex to ""
if Ex is not "" then
set Nm to text 1 thru ((count Nm) - (count Ex) - 1) of Nm
set Ex to "." & Ex
end if
return {Nm, Ex}
end getName_andExtension
on FinderItemExists(thePath)
try
set thePath to thePath as alias
on error
return false
end try
return true
end FinderItemExists

I need an action/script for image resizing with a "special" attribute

Having a headache, nothing work so far the way I want it...
So here's the deal: I have a bunch of psd files and I need them saved as jpegs in a fixed size - 450x590px.
The filename of the jpeg should be the same as each psd and the images should be resized proportionate.
The psds have irregular sizes, some are tall, some are square, some are wide, etc.
I tried using the place function on a template, but that requires my input - choose what to place, then type the filename.
Any ideas?
Thank you for your input!

So have both Portrait and Landscape images with varying size. and want to create jpeg from them that are 450x590 pixels in size. Can the have Portrait and Landscape orientations. If they all must be Portraits 450px wide by 590px high your landscape images composition will not fair well. For cropping landscape image to portraits image normally crops away to much image content. Content aware scale may work somewhat better then cropping to portrait the introduced distortion may be acceptable.
If Portrait 450x590px and Landscape 590x450px is an acceptable solution. I would go with a cropping solution for there will be no distortion and centered crop composition are usually acceptable. It can also be done with a two step action used by an image processor script. If you download my crafting action package. It has a plug-in script that can be recorded in an action to set a 45:59 centered aspect ratio selection which you follow with an Image Crop step. You run the Image Processor script have the action make the crop and the Image processor to resize the crop to fit into a 590x590px area.

Conditional Actions Script for PS CS2

This script from Sivaratnam Gunaratnam will perform actions on Photoshop files and can change depending on certain definable conditions encountered in each file.
From his Blog entry:
"This is a tool I scripted for myself that I would like to share with all fellow Photoshopers. It allows you to execute your Actions based on Conditions. No programming needed. Just click and define your conditions.. Some examples of conditions are as follows:
If the image height is greater than its width, do Action X, or else do else Y
If the image format is JPG / PSD / BMP do action...
If the image file size is bigger than 300KB, do action....
if the image IS/IS NOT of RGB, CMYK... etc
if image author is Siva, do action...
if image exif contains Nikon D70s, do action ....
if image name contains "paris", do action...
etc
etc
Please note thatas of this writinghe has only tested it on Windows and PSCS2. However, someone posted a comment to his blog entry stating that it "Seems to work perfectly on a Mac too."
caveat downloador :)

Having trouble adding action script to button symbol

Hello everyone:
I am hoping someone will read this as I am a developer in
'dires straits' with Flash ( a newbie). My problem regards a
layer called "button" which has already been converted to symbol
and turned into an invisible button. The problem lies when I try to
use the selection tool to select it so that I can add action script
to it. Instead of the actions dialogue box saying "actions-button",
it says "actions-frame", and as a result, the action script doesn't
work. I don't know what to do, it should be simple to select it but
something is wrong. If you feel a need to help a developer in need,
you can email me at [email protected], and I can e-mail
you the file so that you can help. Thanks, or you can call me at

Script for Button 3 or using side buttons on Mighty Mouse for Button 3

Looks like the preferences for Mighty Mouse only allow the side "squeeze" buttons to be used for Button 4. I don't want to use the scroll ball for Button 3 because it keeps zooming when i do. Does anyone know how to write a script to configure the side buttons to be Button 3?

I think I'm having a similar problem. Lately, my side buttons have been activating seemingly on their own. I hear multiple clicking sounds. I know I can turn off the button, but I use USB Overdrive to activate page back in browsers and the Finder, so I can be surfing and be brought back several pages at once. Very irritating. It doesn't seem to be consistent either. I bought my latest iMac in June, so I the warranty should be in place, but I'm an hour and half from the nearest Apple store, making it somewhat inconvenient to have the mouse looked at.
Heh, right when I was about to post this message, it went back several pages.

Create an automatic action script for 3d rotate effect

Is it possible to create an action script that automatically applyes the 3d rotate effect with specific settings?
An example would be when I press F2 it rotates the object instantly with my specific settings without ever having to press anything else.

ok.
draw yourself a shape, whatever you like. Go to Effect > 3D > Rotate and apply the settings you want.
with your object selected, go to the Graphic Styles palette (Window > Graphic styles) and create new graphic style (either in the palette menu or the little button). Call it something memorable.
draw a new object, again whatever you like. open the Actions palette (Window > Actions). Create new action. Give it a name and assign it to a Function key, then click OK (The action will start recording).
Select your new object, then pick your new Graphic Style from the graphic styles palette. it should apply your 3D settings to the new object.
click on the stop button at the bottom of the Actions palette.
create new object, select it, hit your chosen function key. enjoy.

Specific action script for url retrieval

I use Clickabilty's cmPublish for ad serving. When creating Flash ads, it requests the following action scipt for clickthrough info:
     on (release) {
                if (clickTAG.substring(0, 4) == "http") {
                 getURL (clickTAG, "_blank");
Do I need to replace the clickTag info with the url? What about the substring. (I am new at Flash Ad creation). Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there,
the clicktag is made so that publisers don't need to change the fla file all the time. The clicktag is a variable and can be given to the swf by doing example.swf?clicktag=http://www.grafia.fr for example. Normally it should be enough to put the actionscript you mentioned on a big button in the flash ad. The Clickabilty's cmPublish probably uses the example.swf?clicktag=http://www.grafia.fr for serving the ad.

What is the action script for "go to next page"?

I'm new to flash and need help with action scripts. What is the code for "go to next page" I'll be using a mouse event.
Thanks!

It depends on where the next page is.

Action script for batch-opening psd layer files flat? (alt+shift?)

hi
i am daily batch processing with an action script to make flat tiffs from psd layer files, like 10-100 files every couple of days in my workflow.
until now i could not fine a solution to begin the batch processing-action with opening layer files FLAT.
the reason is: i am working with huge files, 5-20GB .psb files, (16bit, ECI-RGB, 50x100cm, 300dpi) and it takes a couple of seconds to open with my pcie-SSD.
that multiplies the time it takes to open 50 of such files. i would gain a lot of time, if photoshop cs6 would not open it with layers, but flat.
there is a workaround i am using daily: (osx) hold alt+shift, then click on the layer file in the finder and cs6 opens it flat.
but that did not work in the action script. it doesnt store the keyboard command alt+shift.
any idea how i could save time and use the alt+shift command in the action script or any other solution please?
thanks
peter

I just tried to record this using ScriptListener, and it didn't record it either. No indo in the ExtendScript SDK on this either. I don't think that this is possible at this time. Maybe someone who know more than I do can find a way.
