Basic invisible button movie clip frame actions not working, pls. help!

Hi,
I've got a basic little slide show player which is timeline-based, rolling through 5 images with alpha transitions, and on the topmost layer, I have 5 invisible movie clips which have actions applied to them as follows:
on (press) {
    gotoAndPlay(21);
This action should allow for the on click button to navigate to that specific frame, or image, but for some reason it is not working.
Did I do something wrong? I feel like I've done this before but I'm rusty with Flash since I don't use it all the time.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Sean

The invisible movie clip is something I know I've done over the years on many occasions - I'm not sure I'm understanding your alternate technique, can you explain it better? The way my movie clips are invisible is just by setting the alpha to zero in the properties for the movie clip instance (clicking on the object on stage, then setting it in properties)..
Also, the actions are on the invisible movie clips (buttons) and not the timeline.
Cheers,Sean

    Next time an app update gets stuck try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons for10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. Wait till your iPad starts on it's own. Try now. Also YouTube is still available. If you can't find it the the app store go to the bottom of the app store page and tap purchased. All your deleted apps will be listed and you can reinstall YouTube from there.

    Hello,
    A wild guess, given the lack of details:
    I wonder whether it would violate the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-origin_policy ?
    This is part of the security infrastructure.
    "Stealing" content to insert it anywhere else might also violate copyrights?
    Technically, does it at least work "on premises" onto WLS 10.3.6?

    hi
    good
    have you checked in the debug mode, if you have checked in the debug mode check wheather it is giving any error before data is displaying in the screen, if any error is displaying as a message than check that error why it is coming there.
    If no error is coming than check your flow of the bdc screen in the debug mode , there must be some prob, so that it is not working in the background.

  • I had to uninstall my photoshop elements 9 and now Im trying to reinstall and its not working pls help!

    I had to uninstall my photoshop elements as I deleted a texture and now I am trying to reinstall its just comes up saying that the wizard is saying that it was interrupted and its not installing pls help

    Reneeb41086198 without a specific error I would recommend reviewing Troubleshoot installation | Photoshop Elements, Premiere Elements | Windows which discusses common installation troubleshooting processes.
    You may also want to consider evaluating Photoshop Elements 13 from Picture editor, edit pictures | Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 as it was designed to install and function under Windows 8.1.  Windows 8.1 was not available when Photoshop Elements 9 was released.

    Hi,
    I recently bought this laptop less than a month ago.  few day earlier this paranthesis key is not working any more.  Laptop keyboard is without any dust or blemish. I am running ubuntu and when I checked there is no press/release event being registered, using XEV package. I also ran the system with live cd same issue. Tried removing the key and cleaning the interior, nothing helps. 
    Is this a problem with some connection in the keyboard?  I cannot think of any software issues since It was working fine couple days ago?

    i have iphone 5 warranty expired and its rare camera is not working so pls help me in this case and in service centre also they r not exchanging the phone pls tel me the idea hoe to fix this and start use of rare camers n front camer is working properly.

    We're all in the same boat, more or less. iOS 8.1 was supposed to fix Bluetooth issues (among other things) that appeared with the release of iOS 8.0.1 that iOS 8.0.2 didn't fix, and, well, they're still there...
    A fix is probably on the way, already, but when will Apple release it, no one know...

    The iPhone warranty is not international and as you purchased in

    in India but there have been many similar posts to yours

  • Two Oracle databases on one AIX Server - Note working, Pls Help

    Dear Friends,
    I have installed Two SAP systems with Two Oracle Databases on one AIX machine, The Installation of both the systems went fine without any errors, and also i have been able to login to both the systems seperately. (that means i cant start both the systems at a time, its one at a time)
    But the problem is of the Oracle Listener, i am not able to start both the systems with single Oracle Listener processes(tnslistener). I tried all the possible scenarios as mentioned in note 98252 but nothing seems to be of any use so far.
    the thing is i can start either one of the SAP Systems, But my objective is to start both the SAP Systems with one listener processes (LISTENER) and one listener port (1527)
    Or
    you can say i am also ready to keep two different listeners for TWO seperate Oracle databases, I tried doing so as per one of the sap notes in which you have to keep different names of listener and different numbers for listener port for second ORACLE database. I tried doing exactly mentioned in the note but yet unsuccessful...
    Now i am completely lost as what is to be done since its critical i want you to immediately look into it and suggest me the appropriate solution so that i can set up both of my DEVELOPMENT and QUALITY system running...
    To troubleshoot this if you require anything from my side then please feel free to ask me since our functional consultants have to soon start working on the SAP systems.
    Regards
    Ayush

    The note you specified talk about 2 database instances not 2 databases... (I was starting to wonder how you deploy 2 databases), you can have multiple database instances on a DB. The note also give you detailed explanation of the configuration of listener.ora
    Now, if this is the case and you have installed 2 instances (not databases) on the same host and configured the listener according to the note, then you should be able to call R3trans -d from both SID's.. if the R3trans fails please post the contents of trans.log here.
    the thing is i can start either one of the SAP Systems, But my objective is to start both the SAP Systems with one listener processes (LISTENER) and one listener port (1527)
    Then, the configuration of your listener.ora file must be incorrect.
    Regards

  • Button movie clip

    hello,
    i am building a full flash site, and i have created animated
    buttons seperatley,outwith the main fla, and i have imported them
    into the main timeline. The button file is a movie clip,and works
    beautifully when testing from its own fla,but it does not work (no
    animation on roll over) when i embed it into my main site. Below i
    have trhe action script
    On top level main timeline,where movie clips reside,in one
    keyframe -
    this.onEnterFrame = function(){
    if(rewind == true){
    prevFrame();
    this.onRollOver = function(){
    rewind = false;
    play();
    this.onRollOut = function(){
    rewind = true;
    this.onRelease = function(){
    getURL("
    http://www.kirupa.com","_blank");
    within each button movie clip
    stop();
    this.onEnterFrame = function(){
    if(rewind == true){
    prevFrame();
    this.onRollOver = function(){
    rewind = false;
    play();
    this.onRollOut = function(){
    rewind = true;
    this.onRelease = function(){
    getURL("
    http://www.siteName.co.uk","_blank");
    any ideas ?
    hope you can help !

    This is what I came up with and it seems to work... can this
    be refined and improved on?
    For example, what if I want it to return to its original
    value when clicked a second time?

  • Button Movie Clips Loops Ad Nauseum

    Greetings
    I have a button that is a movie clip that is set up with animations triggered with MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT event listeners.  The glitch is that once the mouse is over the button ... each ensuing pixel that the mouse is moved, loops the animation again.  That probably didn't make a whole lot of sense, so I posted the file on my test site (http://www.savagepixels.com/test/test.html).  You have to drag your mouse slowly across the button to see this. The bottom part of the button works as I'd expect.  When you roll over the text at the bottom of the button, everything functions as it should.  The looping problem starts when you roll over the image portion of the button.  For some reason it considers each consecutive pixel rolled over to be a new event and consequently triggers the "over" animation again.
    The code I have is below.  I've commented out the MOUSE_OUT function for now.  There is also a screenshot at the above link of my Layers palette for the button clip in question.  I put a "stop" label at each frame that has an action so you see the actions used.
    Thanks for helping!
    oneBedButton_mc.buttonMode = true;
    oneBedButton_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, overEffect);
    //oneBedButton_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, outEffect);
    function overEffect (e:MouseEvent)
        oneBedButton_mc.gotoAndPlay("over");
    function outEffect (e:MouseEvent)
        oneBedButton_mc.gotoAndPlay("out");

    That was helpful. I had one of images in the button movie clip that wasn't a movie-clip type symbol ... it was just a static .png image.  Once I converted that into a movie clip, the repetitious looing went away.
    There is still some weirdness if you refresh that same link ... (http://www.savagepixels.com/test/test.html) if you roll over the lower part of the button where the text "One Bedroom + Study" is, and then move your mouse up over the image portion, the whole MOUSE_OVER event gets triggered again.  This is weird because there are no actions whatsover in the button movie clip except a few stop(); keyframes.  It treats the image as a separate button.  Any ideas on what is causing that event to be triggered in this way?

  • Over State and actions not working with buttons in Flash cs4

    Hi - I am working on a Flash file and some of the buttons in the document are not working.When I test the movie the hand cursor appears when I hover over the buttons they don't change colour (as specified in the over state) and the actions don't work. Not sure what is going on here as I created other buttons in the same document the same way and they work fine. Thanks in advance.

    If you remove the code from the buttons do they react properly to a mouse over interaction?
    What is the code that is in place?

  • Unable to edit Flash file - Can't enter inside buttons/movie clips.

    Hi
    I am in the middle of creating a website using Flash CS5. I opened up my .Fla file one day to continue my work but I am no unable to access buttons and movie clips. When creating movie clips or buttons I am unable to get inside them, when I hover my mouse over them there is a white hand icon which never used to be there it was always just a normal mouse icon. I double click to enter inside the buttons/movie clips but nothing happens. This happens to existing movie clips and buttons on the page and even when I create new ones. Can anyone please help.. I really don't wanna have to start this website again!!
    thanks!

    Hi,
    This would normally happen when you have a Button symbol on stage and the 'Enable Simple Buttons' setting is enabled.
    Can you check in your Control menu, if the option 'Enable Simple Buttons' is enabled? If it is, click on the option to disable it and then try double clicking on your symbols.
    In case you still face the issue, can you send across your test file for investigation.
    Thanks!

  • Easy movie clip / timeline question... please help.

    This is a pretty simple question about something I just cant
    figure out.
    I have a movie with 2 frames. On the frist frame are two
    buttons. On the second frame is a movie clip. In the movie clip are
    two labeled frames, "ball" and "box" for two parts of an animation.
    One part plays a ball bouncing. The other plays a box rotating.
    What I want to happen is when you click the ball button it plays
    the movie clip and starts on ball. When you click the box button it
    plays the movie clip and starts on box. The code for the buttons is
    simple:
    boxButton.onRelease = function ()
    anim_mc.gotoAndPlay("box");
    ballButton.onRelease = function ()
    anim_mc.gotoAndPlay("ball");
    The movie works fine as long as the movie clip and the
    buttons are on the same frame, frame 1.
    But if I move the movie clip to frame 2 it does not work.
    Why!!!??? How do I point the button to play the movie clip on frame
    2?
    It will work if I just send the button to gotoAndPlay("2");
    obviously, but what if I want to target specific frames?

    I tried this like you said:
    boxButton.onRelease = function ()
    _root.gotoAndStop(2);
    zoom_mc.gotoAndPlay("box");
    Thinking it would go to frame 2, then play the movie clip
    starting on frame "box" within the movie clip. But it doesnt. Of
    course, it plays frame 2, and the movie clip plays, but only on
    frame 1 of the movie clip, it does not go to "box" which is in the
    middle of the timeline of that movie clip.
    I guess there is no way to do this?
    Accessing labeled frames within a movie clip from a buttion
    on the main timeline requires that the button be on the same frame?
    This seems strange.. I guess.....
