Another Simple Button

I have a Dynamic page that is a parts list in a MySQL
database that I show on a page using PHP in Dreamweaver.
The page uses a repeat region to list the parts depending on
what nav link is clicked and what I want to do is add a flash
button to the repeated region that when clicked will take you to a
larger view. I have all of this setup and working fine except for
the flash button.
For instance when the page is loaded you may see 10 parts
listed and the button will show up 10 times also, on button next to
each part listed. I am currently using a simple image as a link to
the larger view and it works fine. The link looks like this.
largeview.php?SearchField=<?php echo
$row_Recordset1['Part']; ?>
My problem is that flash doesn't read the php in this code:
"<?php echo $row_Recordset1['Part']; ?>". I need flash read
the php code so it knows what part number to show.
Is there any other code that can be used to have Flash read
the php code?
I hope I explained this properly and any help would be
greatly appreciated!

I guess I don't understand this very well I can't seem to get
it to work.
I can get the part # to show on the page using:
print "myVar=$x";
but the button link I am trying to use is:
largeview.php?SearchField="myVar=$x"
I know this isn't right but the button is just a button using
the option in Dreamweaver to Insert > Media > Flash Button
and the only option is a link.
how should I right the link so that the flash button will
read it?

Simple button help needed!

I want to make a simple round button that glows when you
mouse over it and depresses when you click it.
Apparently to do this I need to use Filters to make the glow
and bevels. But Filtersonly work on movie clips, buttons and text.
So I make a circle and convert it into a button symbol
(Btn1). Then I make another button symbol (Btn2) and use the first
button symbol (Btn 1) on the Up Over and Down frames of Btn 2.
Assorted Filters are applied to Btn 1 on the Up Over and Down
frames to get the effects I want.
I test the button (Btn2) using Enable Simple Buttons. It
works perfectly - glows on mouse over and depresses on click. Then
I try Test Movie -- and the button doesn't work!!!
Not does it work when exported as a SWF file!!!
I watched a tutorial video that came with my Flash Pro 8
Hands-On-Training (HOT) book and he used pretty much the same
technique -- except he only tested his button with Enable Simple
Buttons. I'll bet my house his didn't work with Test Movie either!
The stupid thing, is I was just able to achieve exactly what
I wanted very quickly using LiveMotion 2!
What is wrong here? Why is it so impossible to create a glow
button in Flash? Why has it been easy in Live Motion for years?
All help appreciated!
Thanks
craig

I thought the nesting button situation might be the problem
BUT there is no other way to apply Filters to Up, Down, etc. Also,
a freaking tutorial book described that as a valid method, but
obviously it ain't.
I tried using movieclips as well but basically had the same
problem.
I mentioned LiveMotion 2 because that ancient program can do
easily what Flash Pro 8 seems incapable of.
What is the logic behind not allowing Filters to be applied
to simple graphics? It's absurd!
There's got to be a way...

How do you grey out/disable fields under a radio button if another radio button is selected in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

How do you grey out/disable fields under a radio button if another radio button is selected in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?
I’m creating a form where the user has three options to make a payment.
1. charge to my credit card
2. charge associated costs to bank account
3. By cheque or money order
My Problem is, under each option, there are required fields that has to be filled out. So if the user picks the first option, charge to my credit card, they would fill out the required fields (credit card number, expiration date etc.). But when they click submit button to submit the form, it won’t let them, because there are required fields under the second option. Also, I have the radio buttons for the three options setup so that if the user holds the shift key and clicks a radio button, it unchecks it. So what I'm trying to do is this: If the user selects the radio button for option 1, the other two options are greyed out/disabled. And if the user holds down the shift key and clicks radio button for option one again, it unchecks the radio button and the other two options are available again. Is there a way to grey out or disable the two other payment options when the other one is picked. I’m assuming I will have to use javascript, but what would the coding be and which field do I write it under?
Thanks in advance guys

You will have to use custom JavaScript to access the various properties of the field object.
The radio button group has a value. When no button is selected that value is "Off". When an individual button has been selected the value for the group will be the option or export value for that individual button.
Once you have determined the button selected, then you will know the form fields that need to be made required. You use JavaScript to access those fields and change the "read only" property to false, and set the "required" property to true. For the fields associated with the other options, those fields should be reset, made read only, and have the "required" property set to false.
Disabling (graying-out) Form Fields
>> Also, I have the radio buttons for the three options setup so that if the user holds the shift key and clicks a radio button, it unchecks it.
Radio button in a PDF do not work that way. Only check boxes can be unchecked by clicking on one that has been checked.
If you plan the coding for the Mouse UP action to test for all possible options and code for each of those options you should have what you want.
If you want actual code you need to provide a lot more details.
It is even possible to perform some credit card and bank routing number validations with JavaScript and some check digit formulas.

Simple button script not working

I am using AS2 and need help figuring out why this simple button script is not working:
stop();
buttonWS1.onRelease = function(){
                    gotoAndStop("Stage1and2_Boss",4);
buttonWS2.onRelease = function(){
                    nextFrame();
//end
My buttons are the square letter-puzzles below. They are images that I converted to "symbols" (specifically, buttons). I put their names as above (buttonWS1, buttonWS2, etc.) in the "instance names" boxes.
I have no idea what is going on. Please help!

Hi -
1. Yes, buttonWS2 is the instance name
2. The only code attached to it is the code I pasted above.
3. onRelease does not execute because my trace statement does not appear in the output
Here is the modified code for buttonWS2:
buttonWS2.onRelease = function(){
                    trace("clicked!");
                    nextFrame();
Question: It shouldn't matter if I have commented-out code within that set of codes should it?:
buttonWS2.onRelease = function(){
          //if (puzzleschosenarray[0] == 2 || puzzleschosenarray[1] == 2) {
          // cannot be chosen -- make button non-functional
          //else{
                    //puzzleschosenarray[roundnumber-1] = 2;
                    trace("clicked!");
                    nextFrame();

Simple button to play symbol....?

I have a symbol "NA". It is an animated map that scales up and then back in place when closed. I have added a button to the main stage to play this symbol with the following code on the "click" event:
sym.getSymbol("NA").play();
What am I missing? Something, because it doesn't work for some reason.
Simple button for a simple mind?
Any and all help would be appreciated.

Hi OneHorse,
I've uploaded a file showing my above code working. Instead of just using "play", I'm telling it to play from a label: play("in"). If your "NA" symbol has autoplay unchecked, there may be some weird action when you tell it just "play()".

Simple button not functioning?

I've been staring at this code for an hour. Maybe I need a break? This is a very simple button that just won't accept my touch events.
I have a movie clip. It's instance name is "boardA." The name of the symbol is "letterA" and it is linked to a class file called "Letters" (which is properly linked, I checked).
This is the code in the class file:
public function Letters() {
            this.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, createLetter);
            trace (this.letter);
        public function createLetter(e:TouchEvent): void {
            trace ("You clicked it!");
            trace ("eName = " + e.target.letter);
Yet nothing happens when I click the button. The constructor for the file never executes.
I even moved the touch event to the main frame "boardA.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, createLetter)" and it still didn't work. Nothing when I touch the button.
What am I missing here?
Thanks
Amber

No. Letters.as is in com/freerangeeggheads/spellmaster. It's linked as such - here is the text.
The base class is: com.freerangeeggheads.spellwhiz.Letters
The class is: letterA
When I click the green check box it tell me it can find the class, and when I click the edit class button it takes me to the proper script file.
I also have the file imported into my main frame.
This is the Letters.as file:
package com.freerangeeggheads.spellwhiz {
    import flash.display.*;
    import flash.events.*;
    import com.freerangeeggheads.spellwhiz.*;
    public class Letters extends MovieClip {
        public var letter:String = "";
        public function Letters(): void {
            this.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, createLetter);
            trace (this.letter);
        public function createLetter(e:TouchEvent): void {
            trace ("You clicked it!");
            trace ("eName = " + e.target.letter);
Thanks!

Simple Button Hit Zone not working

I am somewhat new to Flash CS4 andt am having a problem making simple buttons in Flash CS4 on a Macintosh: I have made a few buttons with a graphic and can go into them and successfully create the Up, Over and Down stages of the graphic. Then when I create a new box for the hit state (which is larger than the graphic and I have deleted the graphic itself from the hit state) it doesn't want to appear correctly when I test the movie. When I test the movie, the hit state is correct everywhere around the graphic (to the bounds of my hit state box), but is not active where the graphic is. When I go under the Control menu, down to Enable Simple Buttons, the hit zone looks great right in my Flash file, but when I preview it or publish it and look it on different browsers (PC and Mac), I don't get my pointer right over the actual graphic, but get it everywhere around the graphic to the boundaries of my hit box. Why can't I get the actual graphic to be a hot spot in this situation? I have tried leaving the graphic in the hit timeline, and tried putting both the larger box and the graphic in the hit timeline, and still can't get them to respond correctly with the pointer in the browser window. Thank you....

Well, since the graphic itself doesn't activate my pointer in a web browser, I thought maybe I needed to add both the box and the graphic itself to the hit state. That's what has me puzzled - the box that I use for the hit zone is "active" everywhere but where the actual graphic is...

Simple button problem

I am having a real problem creating a simple button - I have
created a Flash file using Action script 2, and when I create a
simple button - text with a rectangle as a background, (see
http://www.elkhavenestate.com),
and the over state is behaving in a bizarre fashion. This is my
first time using CS3, so is there a new control that I'm
missing?

I take it that it's the Home button. It appears to have a
selectable text field or something in it, which is causing the
problem. Either change that to a static text field or set its
selectable property to false. The other two buttons appear to be
fine, so maybe you can just duplicate one of them and turn it into
the Home button.
If I picked the wrong button, let me know.

Simple button in AS3

hello everybody,
in my website I have a simple button that should trigger at
every click a different frame. Browsing the net I have found the AS
for the simple button (attached code) that works for a sigle click.
Would please tell me the AS to give to the button the
function described above??
thank you so much

My line would replace the gotoAndStop(2) that you had in your
previous code. But I'm not sure that it is what you want. The code
I gave you will tell the thing you clicked on to go to frame 2 and
only to frame two.
I think you are trying to do something different that what I
thought. I think what you want instead of your gotoAndStop() line
you just want
nextFrame();
Of course you might want to do something special when you get
to the last frame so you might want to add something like:
if(currentFrame==totalFrames){
next.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, release);
next.alpha=.5;
That would go just after the nextFrame(). That checks to see
if the current frame is the last one and if so removes the click
handler from the next button and makes it transparent so it looks
disabled. (That could be done in a lot of fancier ways, but this
was just to give you the idea.)
Does that help?

Simple Button.Text not changing properly

Hi all,
The WPF learning curve is steep.
I have pulled my hair over this simple Button.Text change and I can't get it to work.
In WinForms this works:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub BTN_1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles BTN_1.Click
BTN_1.Text = "CLICKED BUTTON 1"
BTN_2.Text = "CHANGED BY BUTTON 1"
End Sub
Private Sub BTN_2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles BTN_2.Click
BTN_2.Text = "CLICKED BUTTON 2"
BTN_1.Text = "CHANGED BY BUTTON 2"
End Sub
End Class

Can't get Simple button to Load Movie Clip

Hi I've looked around for the answer to my question on this
forum
but havent found it so here it goes. I am working on this
company's
Flash site that was built by an outside studio. I am using
CS3.
The url to the site is
http://www.bubbakeg.com.
(this link will take you to the main page click the shadow
graphic
on the left under Bubba and this will take you to the site I
am speaking
of. The site is basically 5 different pages or movie clip.
What I am
trying to do is basically change the "Spring Break" middle
graphic
(which is a Movie Clip) on the HOME page and add a simple
button
that will direct the user to a new page. When I replaced the
graphic
with a new Movie clip there was no problem but I have added
a
button to load a new page (movie clip) and nothing happens.
This
button is in the movie clip of the new graphic which is
called up
when the page loads. If i take this button and just put it
on the
Main Stage in Scene 1 by itself it works and loads the page
(movie clip). It does not however when it is embeded in the
Movie
Clip. The Flash site is basically 5 different Movie Clips
loaded into
an "Empty Clip". This empty clip has a timeline with each of
the
clips labeled and with their respective sized placeholders.
And
when you click on either the links on the Nav bar or the
graphic
for each page it loads that movie clip on the main page. It
seems
like the button only wants to work on the main timeline. I
have
even replaced the code for the "Contact" button with the code
for the new button and it worked (opening new page). Here is
the
code for the new button that does not work:
on (release) {
_root.contentHolder.myHeight = 307;
_root.contentHolder.newLoc = 9;
heightAnimation();
I know the location and height from the above code are
referring to the placement and sizing of each movie clip
in the "Empty Clip". As i said before this heightAnimation
and the resizing of the new clip works fine when the
button resides in Scene 1 on the Main Timeline but not
within the new movie clip (graphic Ive created.)
I will upload the main chunk of the code that resides
in Scene 1 on the first frame of the "Actions" layer.
If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it very much!
Please let me know if I can provide anymore info.
Thanks!
Greg

Is there one simple button or option called "delete or remove duplicates" ??

is there one simple button or option called "delete or remove duplicates" ??

to clarify..in winamp you simply click remove duplicates and all duplicate songs are removed. In Itunes it appears you have to click on each individuale song. (yes you can hold the control key and hit delete one time , but when yo uhave hundreds or thousands of songs this is very time consuming
Surely there must be a faster simpler way??????

Changing simple button color

It would seem as if this would be simple, but I'm not finding
any documentation.
I have a map of the US. Each U.S. state is a simple button.
I'd like to change the button fill color (and potentially, the
outline color) in AS3. I've created the buttons in Flash, not in
AS3 (just graphically). How do I change the button fill color?
Sample code:
function addButtonListeners(btnInstance:SimpleButton) {
btnInstance.addEventListener( MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,
handleRollover);
btnInstance.addEventListener( MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,
handleRollover);
addButtonListeners(Montana);
addButtonListeners(NewMexico);
addButtonListeners(Washington);
Montana._color = 0xA6CsDA; //doesn't work

I also tried this code, but I'm getting the error message:
Access of possibly undefined property rgb through a reference
with static type flash.geom:ColorTransform.
Source: color.rgb = 0x00ff00;
