Add goTo Action to a Rollover Button

I am trying to add the following action to a rollover button: on (release) {
    gotoAndPlay(", );
I have done it in the past and didn't have a problem, but since I don't use Flash often I can't figure out what I am now doing wrong.
The buttons are in the button layer.
For some reason the file wouldn't attach, but can be found at this address:
http://ccbwebdesigns.com/Nkor/NorthKorea_FLASH_V05.fla
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

The argument(s) for gotoAndPlay() is/are:
1. A frame number or frame label: gotoAndPlay(4), or gotoAndPlay("section 2")
2. The path to a movieClip and a frame number or frame label: newClipName.gotoAndPlay(4), or, newClipName.gotoAndPlay("section 2")
3. The name of a different movie section and a frame number or frame label: gotoAndPlay("section name",4) or gotoAndPlay("section name","section 2")
Do any of these fit your needs?

  • How can I attach an additional action to the "reset" button in the drag and drop interaction?

    Hello,
    I would like to know how to attach an additional behavior to the "reset" button in my drag and drop exercise.
    Here is the background:
    In my drag and drop exercise, when the user drops the source on a target of his choice, certain elements appear and certain elements disappear
    This means that depending on where he dropped the sources, certain elements will be visible and certain elements invisible when he is finished the activity
    Because the sources are not re-draggable once he drops them, he will have the option to reset the exercise and start again from the beginning using the reset button
    My challenge:
    I would like exercise to return to its original state when the user selects the rest button .  this means:
    the dragged objects return to their orginal starting location (this is what naturally occurs when you hit the reset button)
    any objects that had disappeared during the course of the activity reappear
    objects that were not visible in the beginning , but had appeared during the course of the activity, again become invisible
    So how can I add this action to the reset button?

    Allowing the user to redrag the souce after it has been dropped would work for my particular problem  if I could bind an action to the event redragging, namely making the elements reappear that had disappeared and the elements disappear that had appeared when the user dropped it the first time.

  • Indesign crashes when I add 'rollover' button state. Why?

    I'm making buttons for an interactive pdf. I'm able to add an action to the button. However, when I select 'Rollover' in the Appearance section of the Button and Forms Menu, inDesign crashes.
    I am running the most recent version of InDesign CC. Not sure why this is happening. Help is appreciated.
    Update: the button I am attempting to edit is an icon I made in Illustrator. I have other similar buttons, but the same sequence of actions used on them does not cause the program to crash.

    If possible, please use any other gradient type than the mesh gradient in your button elements, then copy paste to ID.
    Alternatively, try to place the button in ID as AI file with layers (instead of copy paste).

  • Cannot add an action after I select my "Button" Symbol

    Ok, I have been following a whole bunch of tutorials, and a
    lot of the tutorials I've found are using Flash 8. I downloaded the
    trial for Flash CS3 and when I'm following the tutorial on adding
    an action, or link, to a button, they say...
    "Click the button"
    "Hit F9, to open the actions panel"
    Then for them, the action panel opens up and gives them the
    ability to add an action to their button, and in the upper left
    corner tab, they say to MAKE SURE IT SAYS "Actions - Button" and
    NOT "Actions - Frame"
    Well, in Adobe CS3 and actionscript, if I click on the button
    and hit F9, the action panel opens up, but I can't add an action to
    the button for some reason. I can only add it to "Action - Frame".
    Am I doing something wrong or what because I follow the
    tutorial exactly, but it seems like something changed in
    Actionscript 3.0 verses 2.0.
    If I Open a new file using Actionscript 2.0, everything works
    ok with the tutorial, but if I open a file withh 3.0 and try adding
    an action to a button, it doesn't work. Could anyone help me please
    or tell me what I'm doing wrong, thanks.

    AS3 no longer supports the attachment of code to Object
    instances, and requires code to be placed on the timeline, which is
    proper. Additionally, you will need to use the eventDispatcher
    model to 'connect' a responding function to the event and add an
    'event listener' to the Object. So basically the format for AS3
    code is something like:
    function stopTheThing(event:MouseEvent) {
    stop();
    my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
    stopTheThing);

  • Rollover Buttons: How to add an indicator to my buttons?

    Hello again-
    I'm using the button widget to make a rollover button, but I would like to add a little colored square to my button to show the reader what page he's on. In other words, if he's on the home page, and he clicks the Contact Page link, when the Contact page loads, I want the Contact Page button in the menu to display a little colored square. Know what I mean? How do I do this?
    I'm using the latest version, on a Mac. Thanks-

    Please always mention your jdev version as the solution might depend on it.
    Why do you use an input text if the use can't enter text in it?
    If the width of the input text is fixed, you can write a bean method which returns width-3 chars from the text and add '...' and use an EL to shoe it in the ui.
    Or you add an output text behind the input text showing '...' when the length of the text is bigger then the width of the input field. Put an EL on the visible property of the output text to only sore it then.

  • How to add a action to a button?

    I been trying to add a action to thing in my flash but every action i do doesn't work but works for everyone else. I noticed my action screen looks different then all the others i see so i'm sure i'm doing something wrong or something here is what i get. I'm trying to just add a courser to my flash for my game menu screen.
    here is the errors i get:
    i noticed on every tutorial there all the same code to do this but the Action screen looks way different.

    You are posting in the AS3 forum and the errors you are getting are AS3 errors, but the code you are using is AS2.  If you go into your Flash Publish Settings and change it to publish for AS2 you might find it works.  If you have further issues you should post in the AS2 forum.
    As far as the different looking screens go, chances are if you are looking at AS2 tutorials you are looking at older versions/layouts of Flash in those tutorials

  • Linking rollover buttons to an URL

    Hi
    I am wondering if anyone can help me, I am working in Flash
    CS3. I have created a rollover button and now want to link it to a
    URL, I am fully aware that I need to write some script to do this
    and have written the following:
    on(release){
    //Goto Webpage Behavior
    getURL("
    http://www.greenskyaviation.com/","_blank");
    //End Behavior
    and it doesn't seem to be wanting to link to the website, I
    feel that I am missing something so simple, but just can't get my
    head around it, and will probably end up kicking myself when it is
    resolved.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Many thanks
    Jean-Philippe

    Hi
    Ok thank you, I have checked and I am working in action
    script 1.0-2.0 and it still doesn't to be working. I am right in
    thinking that I set the action when I've selected the symbol,
    rather than the layer? And I should be working in the window when
    all my layers are showing, and not when I'm selecting the different
    rollovers?

  • Adding audio to rollover buttons

    I'm having a bit of trouble doing this as I see videos to do this using pre Edge 2014 1.1 before the new function panel and then when I look at the 5.0 function panel I cannot get this right.
    I'm able to get the sound to work only once then if I rollover after the first time it plays backwards
    I just need to have audio play on a mouseover and I have 3 types of files, mp3, ogg and .wav
    I do not see any mention of .wav files do I disregard that file?
    So far I import ALL THREE OF THESE to the audio folder
    once they are in they reside in a symbol with audio notes on it.
    I have the mouseover action for the rollover already so I need to go from there.
    ADD ACTION GO TO MOUSEOVER AND SELECT AUDIO.
    I NEED THE REST, ANYONE?
    RD

    Thanks for your answer but I need a bit more info.
    I have six rollover buttons each should be assigned a different audio sound.
    Each rollover is a symbol on the main timeline, so when I import the audio for lets say rollover_1 do I open the rollover one symbol and drag the audio on THAT timeline?
    Or do I have to do this on the main timeline?
    In the symbol timeline there is two lables (up and over)
    the audio would need to play on the over state which is why I figure if I need to put the audio on the symbol timeline it would make sense.
    Lets say this is true so on the symbol timeline the over state is exactly at 0.01
    so would I use the following?
    // Play an audio track
    sym.$("rollover_1")[0.01].play();   ???????
    THEN add the code you gave me?
    sym.$("rollover_1")[0].currentTime = 0; ????????
    sym.$("rollover_1")[0].play();             ???
    If I'm inside the symbol timeline where is the current time and play times?
    OR do I place the codes on the maintimeline?
    I hope I'm clear, please advize

  • How to add table actions to an Advanced Table programmatically

    We have code in my CO which builds an advanced table dynamically and associates it with a VO. The table comes out looking good - the correct columns and data are displayed.
    I now want to add Table Actions for that particular dynamically created table.
    The code below builds the buttons correctly and they are built/rendered just fine.
    After adding this code to build the FlowLayout bean, add the buttons and associate the it to the TableActions of the advanced table bean, none of the buttons on the page work anymore. Each time I click any button (even if it's a page level button like 'Save' or 'Cancel'), I get the following error:
    +## Detail 0 ##+
    java.lang.NullPointerException
    +     at java.util.Hashtable.get(Hashtable.java:336)+
    I have added debug statements in by CO, but it is never even getting into the ProcessFormRequest
    Below is the code we are using. Can anyone suggest a way to have this flow layout created dynamically like this and not break all button functionality on the page?
    //Create the advanced table
    OAAdvancedTableBean tableBeanP1 = (OAAdvancedTableBean)createWebBean(pageContext, ADVANCED_TABLE_BEAN, null,"Proc1Tab");
    tableBeanP1.setViewUsageName("P100DetailsVO1");
    tableBeanP1.setNumberOfRowsDisplayed(10);
    //Create a new flow layout to be used as the table actions
    OAFlowLayoutBean tableActionBean = (OAFlowLayoutBean)createWebBean(pageContext, FLOW_LAYOUT_BEAN, null, "P1ButtonRegion");
    //Create the "Add Control Group" button for this table:
    OAButtonBean addButtonBean = (OAButtonBean)createWebBean(pageContext, BUTTON_BEAN, null, "P1AddCtrlGroup");
    FireAction FireActionAddGroup = new FireAction();
    FireActionAddGroup.setEvent("AddCtrlGroup");
    Parameter param = new Parameter();
    param.setKey("ProcedureIndex");
    param.setValue("1");
    Parameter[] params = {param};
    FireActionAddGroup.setParameters(params);
    addButtonBean.setPrimaryClientAction(FireActionAddGroup);
    addButtonBean.setText("Add Control Group");
    tableActionBean.addIndexedChild(addButtonBean);
    //Add the table actions bean to the table:
    tableBeanP1.setTableActions(tableActionBean);

    Hello Ashley,
    you are already close to the solution. In BADI QISR1 you simply fill the
    table SPECIAL_DATA e.g.like
      fieldindex = 1
      fieldname = 'FIELD1'
      fieldvalue = 'Value1'
      fieldindex = <n>
      fieldname = 'FIELD1'
      fieldvalue = 'VALUE<n>'
    Then on the Adobe form layout (Adobe Designer), you have to use the table control XFO from the standard library. Here you have to bind then the corresponding column to FIELD1.
    Best regards,
    Simon

  • Action Script 3 and button instances

    Surprise suprise, got the new CS3 Flash, but still has both
    earlier ***, nevertheless, I did something, don't know what, didn't
    mean to switch to AS3 (maybe), and somehow the stop actions don't
    work anymore. I still published in AS2 for Flash 8 as before, but
    it is still screwed up and I don't know how to fix this mess.
    I read about it, did my research, but because I am not a
    programmer, just a designer, I don't understand what you mean by
    events won't work on button instances anymore and to put action on
    a keyframe??
    I have several buttons in my movie, so how do I put them on a
    keyframe and where???? And how is this keyframe going to know which
    button it belongs to??
    Am I missing something?

    If your in a bind at the moment, I would suggest not
    attempting to learn AS3. The system is very different, good, but
    different, the syntax structure is much more strict and most things
    have been revised to use a listener/broadcaster (or event
    dispatcher) model, as well as most coding being class oriented,
    additionally the graphic display structure is quite different.
    Now did you change your publish settings back to AS2? If so,
    you should still be able to apply the above code to a button
    instance. However, as Dave stated, even in AS2 the code is best
    used from the timeline, to do so with the code above (which the on
    handler above is meant for Object attachment) you need to write it
    like this:
    my_btn.onPress = function() {
    _root.loadMovie("graphic_arts/graphic_arts.swf");
    I would also consider using a MovieClipLoader and the
    loadClip method forloading swf files, as it gives you more control
    over the load targeting, progress reporting, and event
    notifications.
    All this said, to use a button and load a file in AS3, you
    need to add an event listener to the button instance and construct
    a responding function to the event, in this case the loading of a
    swf file. Additionally, in AS3 the MovieClipLoader class, as well
    as the loadMovie methods have been replaced by the Loader classes
    and must be used to load swf files. So construct a button in AS3
    you must write something like the following:

  • Rollover buttons that play a movie clip.

    Hello,
       I am new to Flash and I am trying to accomplish a simulation such as this example, http://www.its-about-time.com/investinesart/coalplantvirtualtour.swf. I have all of my movie clips done, but how do I tell a rollover button to play a specific movie clip? I also want to have all the movie clips to play simultaneously via a rollover button as shown in the example. I've attached a captured image of my timeline, if that helps. I've tried everything so far, but nothing is working! What is the simplest way of doing this?
    I have this inside one of the movie clips (mc_2) in a seperate layer under - (actions)
    RO_btn.onRollover = function(){
    mc_2.play();
    On the main timeline I have an actions layer with this:
    stop();
    Thinking that this may stop all of my movie clips but it doesn't.
    Should I make an actions layer in each movie clip with this syntax huh? stop();?
    I'm frustrated!!
    Thanks, if you can help!
    MG

    Hi,
    I have made something that you are looking for.
    It will be of help to you.
    basically you will have to create a few movie clips namely:
    2 buttons: (name them a_btn, b_btn, c_btn, d_btn, e_btn)
    3 movie clips (I am taking example image1_mc, image2_mc, image3_mc)
    in each of these movieclips.place 2 frames and on second frame put your movieclip(one in one).on both the frames put stop()
    now click on a_btn and write this script
    on (rollOver) {
    _root.image1_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
    _root.image2_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
    _root.image3_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
    on (rollOut) {
        _root.image1_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
        _root.image2_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
        _root.image3_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
    with this all 3 animations will work simultaneously. if you need to run any one of the movieclips at a time the you can address that mc in particular
    .Say if you want only 1 mc to move at a time then put this on  btn 2
    on (rollOver) {
    _root.image1_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
    on (rollOut) {
        _root.image1_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
    .Dont forget to give proper instance names to movieclips.(they are in properties panel.)
    Cheers!

  • How to make edges of rollover button straight

    I was using rollover pjc in my forms....
    I am setting these properties of the buttons...
    --> setting the 'label' property to [ROLLOVER]add
    --> setting 'implementation class' property to
    'oracle.forms.demos.enhancedItems.RolloverButton'
    My rollover buttons are dislayed with rounded edges....
    I want to make the edges of my rollover buttons
    straight(like sqaure edges). please let me know how do i do that.
    Thanks in advance

    Judging by the source code of RolloverButton.java, it looks like that demo will always use rounded buttons.
    If you want normal shaped buttons, then you should modify RolloverButton.java or create your own Java class based on it and change it. The change should be to not use setLeftmost(true) and setRightmost(true). By setting them to true you are telling the button to treat the button as if it's the leftmost or rightmost button, which will round that end (or both).

    They also have some suggestions in the comments on how to add links.
    Let me know what you think I should do. Keep the buttons i have or ditch it all together and use your code. What was nice about this is the images are already there for me and I just have to alter a few things to get what I want.
