Animated Flash Buttons Not Working Right

I'm updating my website and my menu buttons have an animation on the mouseOver. A simple animated button with the "Up", "Over", "Down" and "Hit" keyframes.
www.brenda-nies.com will show the effect of my menu buttons and the effect I want to keep. Part of my updates are switching to AS3 and that's where my problem comes in. You can't see it on the website I gave you, but in my working file, when I test it (in IE8), everything starts out fine when I first rollover my button, the animation runs through it's cycle and stops. However, if I press down on the mouse button, the animation starts over. The same when I release the mouse button, the animation starts over. I want the animation to run through 1 cycle and stop, then stay stopped until I roll off the button.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong....or not doing?

I appreciate you help, you helped me on another question before as well. However, for this particular question, I'm am already doing what your saying, at least I think I am.
I've attached a screenshot below of what I currently have. The first layer, is all text, so...the "About Me". The second layer is my animation. That blue and black bar is actually hidden behind that grayed out "black and wood" area. That blue and black bar is also the "Button_Bar" layer in my timeline. When I rollover "About Me", that blue bar rises up and the edges fade. That all works fine and dandy. However (and I'm sorry if I'm repeating), let's say I want to go to the "About Me" section. When I click "Down" the mouse button, the animation starts over - the blue bar disappears for a split second and rises up from behind that aforementioned area. The same when I release the mouse button - the bar disappears for a split second and rises up. And I have to mention that not once did I roll off my button, yet the animation replayed with each mouse event.
I thought maybe it was my file so I did a test and started fresh with a brand new document. Same thing is happening. I don't have any script, except for the stop script in my movie clip. Should I be using some kind of script?
As for the movie clip, I created it using a shape tween. I also don't want anything in the "Up" state.

    Most likely a site definition problem.  Did you define a local site in DW BEFORE you created your web page?  This critical first step is necessary for DW to properly manage your site.
    If you don't already have web hosting (a commercial web server space), you need to sign-up for one.  There are countless hosts and hosting plans available.

  • Flash buttons not working in IE7 and Chrome

    Here's my website where the problem is occuring www.bakercreative.co.uk
    As you can see the Flash buttons animate, but when clicked they should go to a new html page.
    I've tested it in IE8 and Firefox without any problems but it's not working in IE7 and Chrome.
    Does anyone know what the problem is? Could it be the html code or the flash file itself?
    Thanks

    Hi, Glad you were able to solve that issue with the buttons and Chrome. Any small thing can cause big problems!! LOL
    I'm sure IE7 will test out ok, IE6 did Your website is very nice and has a variety! I hope it all comes together for you.

  • IPhone 5 Hold Button Not Working Right Side

    Hey guys, my iPhone 5's hold button is non responsive on the middle and right side when I push it in. When I push it in on the left edge of the button it works but otherwise it doesn't. My question is, if I take this into the Apple store, can I get it replaced under warranty, or is it not a serious enough issue?

    Call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

  • Flash Button not working

    When in design view and choose media--flash button or flash
    text, i fill out the dialog box and save file but all I see when I
    hit apply and OK is a gray box with handles and a f in it. Then in
    browser check it does not show at all? My computer does have flash
    reader as I can see other site's flach elements properly. I
    followed the DW help and an online movie explanation.
    I understand that Dreamweaver can generate it's own flash
    elements such as flash text and buttons.
    What am I missing?
    To read the old tread where there was no resolution search
    for jimkemble as author thanks

    Post the "code view" code that is generated and any other
    code that you have written so we can get an idea of the problem.

  • Edit... Flash button not working in Studio 8

    If I select a Flash object and click on the Edit... Button in
    the Properties window, nothing happens. No errors, no warnings,
    nothing. Flash 8 does not open.
    If I double click the Flash object, the resulting dialog
    shows me that Dreamweaver knows where the .swf file is (right disk,
    right directory), but the Edit... button doesn't work.
    I've re-entered the application that opens .swf files in the
    Preferences Menu, and I've even reinstalled both Flash 8 and
    Dreamweaver 8.01...still no go.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Since "ABOVE" means nothing to those of us using NNTP to read
    these forums
    (most of the regulars), and since it's usually the regulars
    who post the
    answers, it's always a good idea to restate your problem and
    its symptoms,
    instead of just saying "me too".
    Can you do that?

  • First Flash Button Not working

    I am new to Flash, so please forgive me if this is a basic
    question. But I have searched and searched and cannot find the
    answer. I've tried everything I can think of - but nothing is
    working. I have a button I created in Flash - I've used the
    following script to make the button take the user to the correct
    page:
    schb_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
    buttonClickHandler);
    function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("
    http://www.raycomfg.com/stump_cutters_mwf.htm"));
    which works...except that it opens the page in a new window.
    The page exists in the same directory as the page containing the
    button...what is the correct way to get there? I tried using
    getURL, but I get an error saying its an undefined method.
    thanks for any suggestions

    it is not very clear that what you want by your post but if
    you are looking to open the content in the same browser window you
    need to write this.
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("
    http://www.raycomfg.com/stump_cutters_mwf.htm"),"_self");
    it will open the file in the same window make sure the target
    html file needs to be in same directory in which your swf and swf
    publish html file lies.

  • Buttons not working right

    hi guys - has anyone ever experienced this problem? (i'm
    using Flash MX)
    i have 3 buttons on the left (they are text converted into
    buttons): bracelets, earrings and necklaces.
    I have different states for them in the up, over, down and
    hit states - they change colors, change from non-bold to bold etc.
    and in the "enable simple buttons" mode when i'm editing the
    site they work great, but when i publish and even publish preview
    they don't work anymore.
    the file is here:
    http://www.romerojewels.com/shondraleigh/index.html
    Any idea why this may be happening? Thanks in advance for any
    help you can offer :)

    It looks to me like the only portion of the actual button is
    just a few
    letters in the words. The "l" in "bracelets" and the "kl" in
    "necklaces".
    It is a good practice not to convert straight text to a
    button but rather to
    put a rectangular box behind the text within the button with
    the alpha set
    to 0% in the Color Mixer. This way when a user hovers or
    clicks in any
    space where the rectangle is, the button works. If you only
    use text, the
    user must click precisely on the fill of the letter.

  • Home page button not working right on my iPad 2

    Does anyone has problems with the home page button?

    Hi everyone,
    I also had the same problem like less than a month after I purchased my iPad 2. I used to think that it was due to the iOS update to 4.3.x, as I got mine out of the box with the version prior to that, and didn't have problems before I updated.
    However, it could also be that the home button pad had accummulated oil/dirt from our thumbs, which get in the way of it working properly.
    Here's what I did:
    1. Turned off my iPad2.
    2. Wet my thumb with alcohol (not too wet, say a drop or two), and pressed down on the home button and rubbed the alcohol in in a circular motion. The idea is to let the alcohol break down the oil and dirt.
    3. Wiped the home button thoroughly with a clean cloth (i dont recommend tissue or cotton as it might leave residue that could again 'clog' the inside perimeter of the home button.
    Before I did that, my home button was responding in around 1 click out of 20-30 tries. After cleaning, the home button now responds in 9 out of 10 presses.
    Let us know if you try and find that this works for you as well.

  • PDF made in Acrobat, Buttons not working right in Reader

    I made a PDF presentation for a client and he is using a PC to view it. When I open it on my MAC using Preview the buttons work, it goes to whatever page I clicked on. He opened it on his PC using Reader and the buttons don't work. I also tried to view it in Reader on my MAC and they don't work either, only in Preview.
    This is how I made the buttons:
    Under Tools, I clicked on Interative Objects. Then Add Button. Then, Mouse Up, Go To Page View, then I added the page for each button.
    Then when I save it as a PDF, I need to shrink down the file size, so I did : Save as PDF Optimizer, I didn't change much on the default for the settings. The Discard Objects Settings I only left the "Discard all alternate images" button checked.
    The client sent me a sample of one that works and one that doesn't work. I opened them in Acrobat and I have buttons just like the one that works but I don't know if my saving settings are correct.
    here is a link to the files that I made
    https://www.limoprinting.com/proofs/sample1.pdf
    here is the sample the client sent me that works
    https://www.limoprinting.com/proofs/workingsample.pdf
    I've never used Acrobat before, just photoshop, illistrator, indesign and dreamweaver so I'm sure I'm missing something, I appreciate any help anyone can give me . I also hope I'm clear in my descrition of the problem. Thank you!

    By the way, do not ever save an interactive PDF with Preview and distribute it. Only work with the document within Acrobat. Preview causes all sorts of corruption. If you did save with Preview, don't bother trying to edit it in Acrobat and instead start from scratch if you don't have a copy as it was before it was saved with Preview.

  • Mouse right button not working

    Hai i am shebeer.. i updated my mac os x 10.4.7 to 10.4.11 after updation my right button not working . please help me to solve this problem...

    So far we're just trying to narrow the problem down, so it looks like it's not likely an OS problem, not impossible but not too awful likely.
    Do you have another Mouse to try?
    Can you try this Mouse on another Computer?
    In System Preferences>Mouse & Keyboard, you might try changing the Primary Button to the Right one to see if the Right Button works as a
    Left button, +but the problem+ with that is that I really don't know what you'd do *if you have no Button at all* then!

  • Home button in ipad not working right :(

    My home button is not working right, sometimes I try to exit an application and won't take me to home screen. :( any suggestions?

    I have had the same problem.  Sometimes it works, but most of the time it doesn't. The 4 finger swipe feature in iOS 5 helped, before that I had to constantly restart to get back to the home screen. I have been wondering  if it is a hardware issue, because sometimes it works if I tap lightly in just the right spot-usually upper left cornner. If you find out solutions, please let me know.

  • Frames panel: looping button not working

    Frames panel: looping button not working
    I use Fireworks MX 2004
    Frames panel: looping button:
    When I set looping to 2, it stops after 2, as it should.
    All other values, i.e. 1, 3, 4 etc will go on 'forever'.
    What's wrong?
    Thank you for your help.
    Adrian

    This is just a simple exercise.
    http://www.tudo.co.uk/testing/looping_problem.png
    http://www.tudo.co.uk/testing/looping_problem.gif
    In the png file, Frames panel, bottom left, where I can set
    looping to
    any number, including 'forever', I set the looping frequency
    in this
    case to 1. So I expect it to stop after one movement up into
    the right
    top corner and return to bottom left.
    When I play this in 'original' or in 'preview' in Fireworks,
    the
    animation moves continuously instead of stopping after one
    round. That
    is my 'problem'. Or can I not expect this to work while it is
    still in png?
    When I export it to gif, it works exactly as wanted - once
    only.

  • Logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014

    logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014 winds 8.1. Is this a common problem?
    I have updated the latest drivers and have a few buttons programmed with keyboard shortcuts that used to work in previous versions of Photoshop but don't work now.
    Scrolling with mouse in bridge stopped working in cc butI see it is now working.
    any ideas?

    Many Photoshop extensions are not compatible with Photoshop CC 2014 for Adobe removed support for Flash Panels in CC 2014. Many extensions panels are flash based.  Check with the developer to see if their blendmein extension works with CC 2014.
    Adobe does not maintain Photoshop so it backward compatible with prior versions of Photoshop.  This brakes things like action scripts plugins extensions etc. Keep old version of Photoshop installed....
