Button only works once?

relatively new to flash, using pro 8 right now. I created a
movie where there are movie clips that contain buttons. using the
following actionscript, the button takes me to the frame labeled
"Button1"
on (release){
_root.gotoAndStop("Button1");
but... it only does it once... after that you can click on it
all day and nothing happens. There are stops at the end of the
movie clips and the main timeline so only the specific animation I
want to loop are looping. I only mention this ebcause I have no
clue why the button won't work over and over again. thoughts,
suggestons, hatemail?

well, it's evolved now... the thing is, I have added multiple
movie clips which contain buttons... you can click on these buttons
which are all supposed to take you to that specified frame label.
they work. click the first one, it takes you to the first frame
label, click the second one, it takes you to the second frame
label. and if you click the first one again (after clicking the
second one) it does indeed take you back to the first frame label.
so.. my question now is, that it seems that the buttons will
allow me to go to the frame label... but not reload the same frame
label they are already on. Is this working as AS2 was designed to
do?

Java script button only works once?

I am a novice with JavaScript, but Edge Animate seems like it might be a tool that I can work with. I have created pages using symbols with simple in/out slide animations using JavaScript. They are triggered on the buttons with the following code:
sym.stop(4000);
var current = sym.getVariable("current");
if (current != "") {
sym.getSymbol(current).play("out");
sym.getSymbol("testimPg").play("in");
sym.setVariable("current", "testimPg");
The stage action for compositionready is this;
sym.setVariable("current", "baseAnim");
every page works fine except my testimonial page (testimPg)
The animations work fine for all the other buttons but on the testimonial page it only fire correctly once!?
If you click on other pages and then go back to the testimonial button, it no longer functions properly —the symbol is no longer visible when the testimonial button is clicked!?
Can anybody figure out why this is happening.
here is a link to the page:

Any help would be grateful

Thanks for the reply kglad. I've deleted all the button layers in every scenes and created a button layer from frame 1 until the last frame, but I still got this output here that I don't really understand what it means.

"Post new Topic" button only works once

Having posted once into the feedback forums, the link no longer does anything. Had to restart the app to post this!

So... you don't see the "Post a new topic" button?

Event only works once

Hi all!
   I'm trying to do a movieclip that has 2 buttons that change the content of a flvplayer.
   The problem is that the buttons only work once, after that the event listener isn't triggered (I think) I have no removeEventListener in my code for those events so I'm totally lost as to why is this happening.
   My code is this:
stop();
var correr:Boolean = true;
Globals.vars.videoP = CM_player;
SnowManInst.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mudarVideo_SM);
bananaKingInst.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mudarVideo_BK);
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pararFilme);
function pararFilme(e1:MouseEvent){
    trace("pararFilme "+Globals.vars.videoP);
    Globals.vars.videoP.stop();
    correr = false;
    removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pararFilme);
    addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, correrFilme);
function correrFilme(e1:MouseEvent){
    trace("correrFilme");
    Globals.vars.videoP.play();
    correr = true;
    removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, correrFilme);
    addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pararFilme);
function mudarVideo_BK(e1:MouseEvent){
    trace("mudar video BK");
    Globals.vars.videoP.stop();
    gotoAndStop(2);
function mudarVideo_SM(e1:MouseEvent){
    trace("mudarVideo_SM");
    Globals.vars.videoP.stop();
    gotoAndStop(3);
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

it's not clear what you're trying to accomplish with that code but there are a few reasons that might fail.
to starty, you should understand that first a button event is dispatched, then a main timeline event is dispatched (and the main timeline listener toggles between two listener functions) and finally you go to a different frame and any code in the other frame is executed.
so, that's a pretty screwy setup. you should remove the main timeline listeners and their functions and it's not clear you need to direct the main timeline to another frame.

Iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

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.

Pinch zoom-in/out only works once in Safai

Outside of Safari, the pinch gesture works normally. In Preview it will zoom in or out as deep as I need. But when I try and use the gesture in Safari, it will only work once until I 'CMD' + '0' or click "Actual Size" in the View tab. It doesn't zoom on a gradient either. Pinch-open is the equivalent of 'CMD' + '+' and pinch-close is the the equivalent of 'CMD' + '-'. After I make the gesture once, I can pinch all I want and nothing happens. I need to revert the page to its original size for the gesture to work again (still only once).
I have an i7 Macbook Pro running 10.6.8. Can anybody help me out?

Sorry, I didnt do a good enough job explaining my issue/bug above. I can't attach a screen shot becuase of where I work and what this content is so I will do the best I can explaining it in text.
I have a row of buttons created in InDesign that have no effects, no rollovers and lets just call them Apple In, Apple Out, Orange In, Orange Out, Banana In, Banana Out, etc.
The Apple In button invokes an animation called Apple Fade In. Apple Out simply fades out the content animation. All of the other buttons function the same way. In my exported .swf I can click Apple In and I get my content as expected, I click Apple Out and away it goes. All other buttons work the same way, as expected. If I go through all my fruit and now I want to go back and display the Apples again. I click Apple In and NOTHING happens! If I click Apple Out the fade out animation works just fine, as many times as I want to click it, I get a flash of the content and it fades right out. The "In" buttons no longer work for any of the fruit after the initial "In" animation plays.
In the Animation Panel I have the animations set to Play Once and Dont Hide. In the Layers Panel I have a layer called Apple Fade. In that Layer Group/Set I have Apple Fade Hack which consists of a native ID square no stroke and no fill grouped with my Apple content on "the stage." Also in that Layer Group/ Set is a collection of bitmap images, text, and vectors called Apple. I created the content first on a layer Apple, when I created the group with the blank square ID bumped the original content group under the parent layer and added another sub-layer called Apple Fade Hack. These two are indented and under the top level Apple Layer. I could probably get away with attaching a screen shot of the timing, layer, and animation panels if I had to.
Thanks

JCOM only works once

I have a web application that was originally developed using J-Integra
1.5.3 -- it works great in tomcat 4.1, and the classes themselves can
also be tested/exercised outside of tomcat, where they work perfectly
as well.
Now that the application is mostly finished with development, we want
to deploy this to our BEA Weblogic 8.1 servers. The problem
is that, after turning on JCOM, and removing the external jintegra
jars (using only the weblogic versions now), I can get the app to
work properly exactly once after startup. That is, I can start
Weblogic, load the JSP page I use as a tester in my browser, and it
works as it should. If I hit the refresh button, I get a
RuntimeException like this:
java.lang.RuntimeException:

I also see this in my weblogic logs:
<Jul 8, 2003 2:14:05 PM EDT> <Error> <COM> <BEA-210000> <100680] *: >
and thats all the information I get.. I have tried to crank up the
jintegra logging as high as I can (using both "
com.linar.jintegra.Log.logImmediately(3, "c:\\temp\\jintegra.log");
" in the constructor, and by supplying
"-DJINTEGRA_LOG_FILE="c:\temp\jintegra2.log" -DJINTEGRA_LOG_LEVEL=3"
on the startup line for weblogic, but gotten only as far as
c:\temp\jintegra.log being created.. no contents in it, and
jintegra2.log (the one created from the command line) isnt created at all.
so, I am at a loss... it does work once, and I absolutely no
information as to why it fails after that first time. Any ideas would
be appreciated. thanks.

not sure exactly why it would only work once, but I
personally dont like using a listener for simple button actions.
If it were me, i would just use standard button actions and
make the caption fade in and out with an alpha tween.

Back button only works about 50% of the time. Have to hit it twice, sometimes three times before it works. Problem is intermittent. Firefox 3.6.10 on Mac OS 10.6.4 (same on both MacBook and iMac machines).

Command Windows.open only works once

Hi all,

The issue I have is this only works once. If you close the window that you had opened, and click again in the link it doesnu2019t work. It only works if you call another link before. It seems there is a kind of cache in somewhere.
Do you have any idea?

Spry Tab link only works once... why?

Hi all,
I have a spry tabbed area with 4 tabs on my page. Each tab contains data that is dragged from an MSAccess table. A couple of the tabs have repeat regions. This all works fine. One of my tabs has a repeat region where I can click on a button image to change a record status from True to False (or visa versa). The click runs the associated vbscript which executes the SQL update statement no problem. However I noticed that when I changed the data on this tab and reloaded the page using a Response.redirect after the sql update was executed, it would default to the 1st tab and not the one I was viewing that contains the repeat region. A quick search led me to the SpryURLUtils.js file which solved that problem by allowing me to specify which tab to load. I appended the relevant code to give me this:
Response.Redirect("myrecord.asp?" & Request.QueryString & "&tab=1#TabbedPanels1"
As I mentioned, the tab contains a repeat region. If I click on a button to change the status of that record the page reloads fine and displays the correct tab. But this only happens once... each subsequent time I try to change another record my tab contents disappear. The tabs are still visible and if I click on the tab where I've changed the data the tab content is dispalayed, but obvioulsy this isn't right... it should reload and display the correct tab with each call of the code.If I navigate away from this page and then come back to it I can successfully chnage one record and the results are displayed. Change another record and the changes are made, but the tab contents are not displayed again. The interesting thing is that if I reload/refresh the page the problem occurs staright away on the first record change.
So my question is 2-fold... Why is this happening and how do I solve the problem?
Here is the vbscript that updates the record and does the Response.redirect
<%
'Change Notification
If (CStr(Request("ToggleNotify")) = "ToggleNotify") Then
dim strSQL
'check to see if notification is currently true or false
    If cstr(Request.Form("NotifyChanges")) = Cstr("True") Then
    'change notifiaction to false
        strSQL = "UPDATE tblUserAccess SET NotifyChanges=0 WHERE AccessID = " & Request.Form("hiddenAccessID")
    else
        strSQL = "UPDATE tblUserAccess SET NotifyChanges=-1 WHERE AccessID = " & Request.Form("hiddenAccessID")
    end if
    Set MM_editCmd = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")
    MM_editCmd.ActiveConnection = MM_VBUsers_STRING
    MM_editCmd.CommandText = strSQL
    MM_editCmd.Execute
    MM_editCmd.ActiveConnection.Close
    Response.Redirect("myrecord.asp?" & Request.QueryString & "&tab=1#TabbedPanels1" )
End If
%>
Here is my Repeat region with the associated form
<%
While ((Repeat3__numRows <> 0) AND (NOT rsAccessRights.EOF))
%>
<form name="frmNotifications" method="post" action="">
<tr class="PageText">
    <td width="200"><%=(rsAccessRights.Fields.Item("SectionTitle").Value)%>
        <input type="hidden" name="hiddenAccessID" id="hiddenField2" value="<%=(rsAccessRights.Fields.Item("AccessID").Value)%>">
    </td>
    <td width="200">
                <%If (CStr((rsAccessRights.Fields.Item("NotifyChanges").Value)) = CStr("True")) Then %>
          <input type="image" src="../sitegraphics/accept.png" alt="Submit button">
        <%else%>
          <input type="image" src="../sitegraphics/cross.png" alt="Submit button">
        <%end if%>
    <input type="hidden" name="ToggleNotify" value="ToggleNotify">
    <input type="hidden" name="NotifyChanges" id="test" value="<%=cstr((rsAccessRights.Fields.Item("NotifyChanges").Value))%>">
   </td>
</tr>
</form>
<%
Repeat3__index=Repeat3__index+1
Repeat3__numRows=Repeat3__numRows-1
rsAccessRights.MoveNext()
Wend
%>
And here is the bit at the bottom that specifies the default tab if nothing is passed in the URL
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
Sorry for the long post!
This is my first dabble with Spry stuff, so I'm a bit green. If anyone can explain to me why this is happening that would be most apopreciated. If anyone can tell me how to solve the problem I'll send them a big e-kiss!
Not sure how impotant this is but it happens in both Firefox and IE8.
Thanks in advance

Hi Ben, thanks for taking the time to read my query.
The site in question is an intranet site, so I am unable to give you a link to the page. Would the entire page of code rather than just the odd bits help?

CallResponder CREATE only work once

Hi all!
Im using Flash Builder 4 to create a new project. Im really happy with the new connection methods, but Im getting an issue really strange. When i create a new service call that include data in my base, it only works on the first time! When i try to include another value, it simply dont work. I dont receive any error message, alert.... nothing. Is there anybody that had this problem? any idea to fix it?
Explaining the issue in example: I create a Employee service. I generated the employee form, and associated it with the CreateEmployee service. I fill the form with the employee data, and submit. It include the data on my database correctly, but when i try to input another data, the button just dont work. I have to refresh the page to it work again. I tryed to find some answer on the web, but until now i didnt find it. I know that FB4 has been released very recently, so we dont have already a huge knolegment on it.
Thanks,
Williams

Hi,
I haven't worked a lot with the data wizards but one thing I notice is when you set a form to create a record it will produce a very standard template that uses a valueobject of 'name'. Now on the assumption that you have a new record you wish to enter, the first step is not to try and edit any automatically generated primary keys
i.e. a mysql table
ID = int (autoincrement) primary key
Surname = varchar(25)
Name = varchar(25)
DOB = date;
the form template would offer all these fields for updating/creating) - so delete the ID option as you don't want to touch that
Next with the value object once its populated it would possibly update the existing record rather than create a new one so when you enter your create option reseting the value object would be a good idea - names = new Names(); this gives you a clear object for the create record process.
Last thing, if you are displaying the records in a grid you would refetch the records in an eventlistener for the createrecord function.
If you would like a test case for this let me know and i'll put something together.
David
