AS3 button = 2 functions a bit complicated

I have swing_mc on the main timeline of an .swf
I need to have swing _mc do two things
1. on rollover to play
2. on click to gotoAndStop ("framename") main timeline
I have an invisible button INSIDE swing_mc on the top layer, this is because the mc is supposed to swing back and forth so the inv btn must be on top of the mc to follow the motion path.
if there is a solution this way that would be fine, if not I was just thinking:
the mc is a picture swinging from side to side, if I put an invisible button on the main timeline over most of the area the button swings over and covers I think that would work, but then I would have to target the swing_mc timeline for it to play correct?
How and which way do I code this?
Thx!

For the first function you should only need...
function swingBtnRoll(event:MouseEvent):void{
swing_mc.play ;
The parent reference could be a problem since there is none except maybe the Stage.
And for the second function, you need to place the frame argument in parentheses
function swingBtnClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop("swing") ;
You mention something about a button, so I don't know if you want to assign the event listteners to the swing_mc or the button you mention.

My AS3 buttons only work the first time

I have set up my buttons so that are each a movieclip with 'over' and 'out' states/frame labels. They exist on the main timeline. The actionscript controlling them is situated in a frame on the main timeline and the frame holding that actionscript is on the same point within the main timeline where the buttons are introduced. I am using actionscript 3.
The buttons have been set up so that they navigate to another frame on the same main timeline and on that frame is a movie. The movie dimensions are smaller than the main stage so the buttons are still accessible when each movie is played.
The problem is my buttons are only working once - by that I mean they go to the correct place when clicked the first time, but when they are clicked again they navigate elsewhere.
Totally doing my head in trying find a solution and if anyone can help and show me what I'm doing wrong that would be really really helpful. Here's the code I used for the buttons...
stop();
function mainBtnOver(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.target.gotoAndPlay("over");
function mainBtnOut(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.target.gotoAndPlay("out");
///////// INDIVIDUAL BUTTON CLICK FUNCTIONS
function mainBtn1Down(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("01Movie");
function mainBtn2Down(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("02Movie");
function mainBtn3Down(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("03Movie");
function mainBtn4Down(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("04Movie");
function mainBtn5Down(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("05Movie");
////////// Button 1 Listeners
mainBtn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mainBtnOver);
mainBtn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, mainBtnOut);
mainBtn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mainBtn1Down);
////////// Button 2 Listeners
mainBtn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mainBtnOver);
mainBtn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, mainBtnOut);
mainBtn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mainBtn2Down);
////////// Button 3 Listeners
mainBtn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mainBtnOver);
mainBtn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, mainBtnOut);
mainBtn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mainBtn3Down);
////////// Button 4 Listeners
mainBtn4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mainBtnOver);
mainBtn4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, mainBtnOut);
mainBtn4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mainBtn4Down);
////////// Button 5 Listeners
mainBtn5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mainBtnOver);
mainBtn5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, mainBtnOut);
mainBtn5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mainBtn5Down);
I'm sure it's me doing something very stupid - I'm very new to AS3. Any help much appreciated.
Thanks :-)

If the frame labels you are going to have movie clips that have your presentation content, you should use gotoAndStop("frameLabel") instead of gotoAndPlay("frameLabel"). There's no need to play the main timeline when you go to and show any of these movie clips. I'm not sure if this is your issue, though... Using your code, I had no problems.
Also, you can set up your animated buttons in a way that eliminates the need to have your ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT events. This isn't necessarily better, but just another method. Although I might use other ways to animate a button, I do like to reduce the code it takes to use the buttons in an interface, and only use CLICK in most cases.

Radio buttons in function module.

Hi,
I have developed a function module which internally calls abap report with SUBMIT command. However, the abap report has radio buttons on selecton screen. So I would like to know how to define radio buttons in function module or is there any alternative to overcome this problem?
ABAP code in function module :
submit zodmr_report    with p_vkorg = bukrs
                         with s_off in vkbur
                         with s_vtweg in vtweg
                         with s_spart in spart
                         with s_dsa in dsa
                         with s_ext in allocation_id
                         with p_yyyymm = year_month
                         and return.
( ABAP report "ZODMR_REPORT" has two radio buttons)
Regards,
Santosh

Hi,
To the best of my knowledge you need to create an IMPORT parameter of type SY-DYNNY And pass your selection screen to the FM. If this will not serve your purpose, then Instead of Standard Selection Screen with number 1000, use custom defined Screen number.

Stolen iPad (bit complicated)

Dear Y'all,
Like the title said, it's a bit complicated situation I'm in now..recently my iPad got stolen, and I managed to track it back to the last location the culprit was. However the culprit immediately shut off the device so I couldn't track it further. I try the Police, but they ask me for proof of ownership..and here is the my situation...:
I bought the iPad from my friend who had his iPad replaced due to product defect. He got a receipt that concisted all the new information regarding the replacement iPad from Apple authorized reseller. The thing is, I lost the receipt...I only have its box that doesn't match with the iPad serial number nor IMEI because it has been replaced... However, months before the event, I registered my device to "Find my iPhone" app... to process my case, the Police needs my serial number and IMEI, and my question is: "Is there possible to retrieve the iPad information from iCLoud?" because I tried and there was not much information you could access into your each device..
Thanks

Confused about AS3 buttons (did read David Stiller's blog)

I'm trying to convert an AS2 file over to AS3 and I can't get
the buttons to work. They do not want to gotoAndStop at certain
frames in specific scenes. In the following code, if you click on a
button it works fine, but when you attemp to change to a new Scene,
it breaks and both buttons won't work thereafter. I've tried
everything for almost a day now and cannot get this to work and
cannot find any reference to the problem. Is AS3 buttons not able
to go to a new scene as it suggests in the Help files?:

Laura,
> Old patterns, old habits...time to change.
Well, not necessarily! The old ways still work. :) Just
configure
your publish settings for AS2 or AS1, and bingo. It all
depends on what
you're trying to accomplish. If your aim is to output to TV,
then by all
means, use scenes! If you're not using code -- or using very
little code --
then it basically doesn't matter what version of ActionScript
you use.
> Now the flash animation drawing tools are so lame it's
just
> embarrassing. It's all about interactivity and coding is
essential.
I can hear that you're frustrated, and it probably helps to
vent (it
often helps me), but for the sake of others who might be
reading this
thread, I'm respectfully asking you for specifics. What new
animation
and/or drawing tools do you mean? How are they embarrasingly
bad?
The 3D and inverse kinematics (IK) tools, new to CS4, are
hardly
something I'd call embarrassing. On the contrary, they're
cool all hell!
True, the 3D tools require the FLA to be configured for AS3,
but no
scripting is required to use 3D or IK (though you *can*
script them if you
want to).
The blend modes and filter effects introduced in Flash 8
were a welcome
edition. They didn't hinder anyone's workflow, as far as I
know. If you
wanted to use them, great! If not, great! Improved text
rendering has been
a joy ... and again, use it or not -- the choice has always
been up to the
designer's whim.
> Ok, scenes are kinda old school. I can see why.
They're only problematic (speaking historically) in cahoots
with
ActionScript. Unlike some, I actually do endorse the use of
scenes ;) --
just not in the context of programming. Keep using old school
if that's
what works for you. If you like, experiment with the new
stuff as your
schedule allows.
> Why do anything in the timeline if you can do it in the
code?
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic in this line, but
either which
way, the answer (at least, from my perspective) is a
pragmatic one. Use the
timeline when doing so takes the least amount of work; the
reverse holds
true for code. There are plenty of animations --
specifically, character
animations, including lipsynch -- that, for me, are easier to
do by hand, by
direct manipulation of the symbols with my mouse and/or
graphics tablet.
I find it easier to design complex gradients using the
drawing tools. I
often find it easier to design complex tween eases by hand.
When I'm
working on animation, I tend not to code as often; when I'm
building a
Flash-based website, it's likely to be a combination of
timeline techniques
and code; when I'm writing applications, it's obviously a
case of
mostly-code.
> [code gives you] more control. It can be more dynamic
and
> flexable. It is easier to edit. Next I need to do more
external
> .as doc scripting.
Writing custom classes is another layer of technique.
Depending on your
workflow, it may or may not be useful. For what it's worth, I
wrote a
tutorial series for Community MX not so very long ago that
might help
illustrate this point ...
http://www.communitymx.com/abstract.cfm?cid=ECBF0
... the first article is free, and demonstrates a technique
(using code) for
causing letters to wiggle into place. Over the course of
several
installments, this series works toward moving the code from
the timeline to
a class file, which shows how custom classes can provide a
workflow boost,
even for a movie that doesn't necessarily need to be
übercoded in other
respects. I hasten to add, I'm not one who relishes the role
of a "Here,
the first one is free" salesman, so be aware that you can
also read the
remaining articles free if you sign up for a trial
membership, which you can
cancel without obligation in a week's time.
> My working file is now all on a single timeline with no
scenes.
> Who needs scenes. Yipee!
Under the hood (meaning, in the SWF) all those scenes are
ultimately
converted to one big timeline anyway. Granted, the use of
scenes is a
convenient organizational tool during authoring, and I don't
deny that
scenes-with-ActionScript would be equally convenient, but
again ... scenes
have been "broken" in ActionScript for a long time. It looked
like Flash
CS3's AS3 finally resurrected the workflow, and -- for the
time being -- it
looks like CS4 might somehow be missing the mark. If so, as
kglad proposes,
the AS3 gotoAndPlay() issue is a bug in CS4, and we can hope
for a fix from
Adobe.

Is the on/off button bad function a hardware problem? What can I do if a mobile company don't fix this? Besides, my phone still have the apple warranty

Hello everyone, I bought an iPhone 5 six months ago from a mobile company. now the on/off button is not working properly. I send it to this company technical service support and they didn’t fix it saying that the button problems are not covered by the warranty; moreover they say that warranty just covers software and hardware problems. First, is the on/off button bad function a hardware problem? What can I do if a mobile company don’t fix this? Besides, my phone still have the apple warranty

AS2 vs. AS3 Button

So in AS2 to add button functionality to a movie clip, you'd
type:
myButton_mc.onPress=function(){
gotoAndPlay("something");
How is this accomplished in AS3 WITHOUT using external .as
files, classes, etc?
It seems like all the tutorials/books I read, they want to
create the bible before anything can be done.
If this is the case, why is AS3 better? I understand it
appeals more to hard core programmers of Java, but what about
therun-o-the-mill types who actually like Director's Lingo and can
cope with AS2?
Thanks!

Well, one of the big advantages AS3 has is that it`s 10 times
faster than AS2. Then, it`s easyer to learn for beginners, because
everyting is done similarly( you decalre any variable the same way,
every listener etc...) etc...

AS3 button state

How to make a button stay down state after been clicked?
stop();
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
ldr.x = 300;
ldr.y = 0;
addChild(ldr);
ldr.load(new URLRequest("myclip.swf"));
projects_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickFunction1);
function clickFunction1(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(2);

If you create the button as a movieclip you can control of which frame/state it is in. Otherwise, if it is a SimpleButton symbol, in AS3 you can change the upState property to equal the downState property, but then you would need to retain some reference of the upState if you plan to return there sometime later. The movieclip approach gives more reliable control.

AS3 button = 2 functions a bit complicated
