Button problems on website in flash 8

I just started using flash, but I am getting a bit better. I
purchased a template through monster and have slowly picked up on
flash. Here is my problem and forgive if I use incorrect
terminology or seem ignorant...
I have a page on my site that has 4 buttons on each
side...movie clip over a button...looks like a bar with a small
arrow movie clip on the end. I am sure you know what I mean. When
you roll the mouse pointer over the page it obviously is supposed
go through its actions and alert user there is a link. If I put my
code on the movie clip, you have to move the mouse over the arrow
to show the link. If I put my code on the button layer, it causes
all 8 of the buttons to have the same action/link and if I change
one it changes all.
What am I doing wrong? I can't seem to figure it out. Here is
the code...
on (rollOver) {
if (_root.link<>15) {
gotoAndPlay("s1");
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
if (_root.link<>15) {
gotoAndPlay("s2");
on (release) {
if (_root.link<>15) {
if (_root.link == 7) {
_root.bl.gotoAndPlay("bl2");
_root.lns.gotoAndPlay("ln2");
_parent["item"+_root.link].gotoAndPlay("s4");
_root.link = 15;
k = 1;
_root.pages.gotoAndStop(_root.link);
gotoAndPlay("s2");

That is a CSS issue on your machine. The solution can be found here (3 posts below yours): http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Cannot-sign-after-update-weird-screen/m-p/4034115/highlight/true#M353524

'''Hi,

''Duplicate post, continue here - [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/934607]''

Can you open up your Real Player and tell me what version you have? I think Real Player 15.0.6 is supposed to fix this problem. There was a conflict between Real Player and Flash this whole summer that broke Flash videos. Real Player released a update that might help in your case.
If that doesn't help, I think a addon might be to blame here. So do this:
<br> '''Firefox button <img src=https://support.mozilla.org/media/uploads/images/2012-03-27-09-22-48-1204f1.png> > Help > Troubleshooting Information'''
<br> (or '''Tools > Help > Troubleshooting Information''')
Then click the "Copy all to clipboard" button then paste it here. It will tell us what addons you have installed and I can see which one might be causing problems.

A few questions on making animated buttons for a website Nav

Hello, I have a few questions on creating some animated buttons for a nav.
There are 2 actions I want to trigger on moue over.
If I want to use a static (PNG) image that I created in Photoshop for the actual button, can I use that? I want to smoothly slide button down on mouse-over and slide back up on mouse off. If I push part of the button off the "canvas" (sorry, this is coming from a Photoshop guy) will it disappear in the final animation? Another way to put that is, if I put an animated element off the white area, will it no longer show up in the movie (.swf) when it's published?
For the second part; you can see a bit of what I want to do if you look at this website's top Nav: http://www.photoshopsupport.com/index.html
I need the "light" above the button and it's going to be on another colored <div> so I can't set one solid BG color for my flash document. But I want to achieve the effect of the "bar" lighting up above the button and the actual button sliding down upon moue over.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Regarding this button problem mentionned by kglad, it is easily overcome with a little trick.
I call this the undesired "jumpy button". Your button starts to hesitate down-back-down-back quickly, like it's a bug, and then it settles.
What you could do is create a simple sprite or movieclip containing only a simple shape, whatever the color, put it on top of your button's graphic, change this sprite/movieclip's alpha to 0, then add your mouse events on this invisible "target" instead of your graphic. So, when you mouse over, you have the graphic move, not the invisible "target".
Sometimes, for this invisible target, you will be using a movieclip, not a sprite, so you can easily add your own properties on it.
Example:
var graphicBtn:Sprite; // your png
var targetBtn:MovieClip; // your invisible target, created with code or not
targetBtn.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
targetBtn.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, graphicBtn.width, graphicBtn.height);
targetBtn.alpha = 0;
targetBtn.mygraphic = graphicBtn;
targetBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onOver);
targetBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onOut);
addChild(graphicBtn);
addChild(targetBtn);
function onOver(event:MouseEvent):void
TweenLite.to(event.target.mygraphic, 0.25, {y:40, ease:Back.easeOut});
function onOut(event:MouseEvent):void
TweenLite.to(event.target.mygraphic, 0.25, {y:0, ease:Cubic.easeOut});
So you see, you can have only one function (well, 1 for over, 1 for out) used for all your buttons. You can add as many properties you need on your movieclip to make that one-function flexible.
Here I used GreenSock's tweening engine, but use the one you prefer (Here, I am moving the graphicBtn in y for 0.25 second).

**URGENT** Scene button problem!

Why my 'maps' and 'video' buttons do not play the movie? I use this code:
on(release){gotoAndPlay("play");}
I have labelled "play" in other scene, but it does not play the movie!
I have tried this code:
on(release){gotoAndPlay("Scene 36", "play");}
Still, it does not work as well! I got deadline this week, so I need your help ASAP!
I got other button problems on every scene! It's frustrating!
Please download my flash file to look at my flash product!
http://www.4shared.com/file/24177440...6d/Maps_1.html

Nope it doesn't work , I got my deadline this week and if you got a spare time, would you please download my flash and check and repair it please! Only two buttons need refitting and nothing else! I asked my teachers, they tried their best and couldn't find what the problem is. I looked through other forum website, I tried the solutions and it doesn't work! I am really behind as there are many failure in my project! This is my first flash creation.

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.

Konqueror browser for Linux has an useful CPU limitation feature for websites using Flash content. Can you add such a feature in Firefox?

I have recently found that Konqueror browser for Linux can help user to limit cpu usage while visiting a website using flash technology by changing settings in the Flash section and adjusting the slider from VERY HIGH settings to HIGH and MEDIUM and so on. It actually works, and it does not have a direct impact on the general performance for flash player but it may generate some conflicts if other extensions such as add-blocker or click-to-flash are enabled also.
Maybe you can add a similar setting in Firefox in the browser option section or just as an useful addon or extension.

Sorry for being late with my reply. I've just tested that addon that you mentioned in your post ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire.../system-monitor/ ) , it looks like a system monitor and nothing more than that.
As for the memory tip ( about:memory ) I agree that it can be extremely useful for users that have less than 1 gb memory installed on their system. I know very little about computers but I can tell your tip for optimizing memory usage in firefox has merits.
Me, I have another problem with cpu overload in Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera and most of the browsers with flash support enabled. Each and every time time I visit a page that features all sort of adds and gadgets based on flash technology, and each time I try to watch a video online my cpu goes all the way up to 100% and stays there until i finally decide to close the browser.
I am running winxp and also linux on a Dell Optiplex GX260 machine with 2000 MHz cpu, 1024 Mib ram and 128 Mib video card, it is not the best computer in the world but still 2000 MHz should be enough for a limited and uneventful web experience.
It is not as much an issue with the web browser, any browser, the whole problem is caused by funny people claiming to be deeply involved with web development, and promoting flash technology for ages instead of choosing other alternatives, more user friendly. All I am saying is that flash ruined the entire web experience making people to believe that they actually need dual-core cpu and coreduo and deepfreeze cpu and so on which is only partially true.
I always get better results for cpu usage when watching online videos that use media player as default player and not flash player, and my cpu stays below 70% usage which is not much but still it is not 100% usage.
Konqueror offered me a nice surprise, and I was able to limit cpu usage once I moved that slider from Very High setttings for flash player to Medium settings. I got something between 80-90% cpu usage as a result, and I was very pleased to finally see a working solution to my problem at least for linux if not for windows.
The only other browser that I can use for windows only, which handles both flash player and cpu usage well is Kmeleon browser which is a long forgotten project but does offer nice features once you find some plugins that it needs to make it come to life again.

Problem playing an imported flash template in dreamweaver cs5

hi,i just downloaded a flash template from flashmo.com and imported it to dreamweaver cs5 through Insert > media > SWF and it loaded. but the problem is, when i click the live view or play the file in the properties,nothing shows up.except some texts "loading XML data..."
all the flash templates i have downloaded face this prob. i have no idea where is the mistake.
what could be the problem?any help,plz.

From their website:
" Adobe Flash (version 8 or higher) is required to edit the
FLA file.
- Use the source codes at your own risk after downloading and
flashmo.com is
not responsible for any bugs or errors caused by
ActionScripts."
Do you own Flash? Are you familliar with action scripts? If
not, then you
probably want to start with a plain html template and learn
how to code html
and CSS. Flash sites look nice but they are not friendly for
Search Engines
or users who don't have flash player installed on their
system.
Here are some on-line tutorials to help you get started with
html and CSS

Masking Buttons problem...

Hello All...
I am trying to create a website using Flash CS3. I want to
have my navigation appear with a mask when seen on the site. I
created the buttons in a movie clip and each button is an actual
button. When I place a mask over the buttons and then preview it in
the SWF the mask works but my action 3.0 code does not work with
the mask.
This is the code I have used for each of the buttons in the
movie clip:
nav_mc.home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoHome);
function gotoHome(event:MouseEvent):void {
this.gotoAndStop("Home");
Any suggestions out there?
Thanks in advance!
~Stephen

Websites with flash content are causing tremendous CPU usage!!

Greetings!
I finally installed the long-awaited version 4 of firefox, and I am really disappointed. In addition to slight sluggishness now and again, it turns out that websites with Flash content (even those sites with a little flash advertising banner) are causing my CPU usage to really go up.
It's slowing down my machine, making my CPU fans spin loudly, and making for a disappointing web browsing experience.
I have disabled all add-ons, and done the usual. Even tried installing Chrome for the first time ever!
The problem is definitely Flash + Firefox 4.
I have created a brand new profile, but no dice. Wondering if anyone else experiences a high CPU load on pages with flash...

Adobe Flash Player has also been crashing periodically on 2 of my computers, I'm still running XP, one of them a powerful HTPC, Dell Optiplex 755 SFF over a new Cable Internet Connection. Buffering, Lagging, crashing when streaming video for Catchup TV (Freeview) via Firefox Adobe Flash Player Add-On, does not happen on Youtube though. Lagging & Crashing does NOT occur AT ALL in Google Chrome, but I hate that browser.
Have tried the usual disabling Flash Hardware Acceleration + Protected Mode, setting storage to Unlimited, disabling FF Ad Blockers + Hardware Acceleration, cleaning Caches, updating program versions, everything bar reinstalling programs. It's not happening in Chrome, why in Firefox?

My phone won't power up, and buttons at bottom of screen flashing on / off

My phone was low on charge and shut off on it's own. I did let it charge up for a while, I did not turn it on. Then later tried to power on, but it did not respond. Tried holding in the power button to power it on repeatedly to no avail. Re-plugged into the charger, and the bottom buttons began to flash on about every 4 seconds. Tried unplugging, and removing the battery, re-inserting battery. got No response when attempted to power up, but figured battery may have been too low. Plugged in - flashing. unplugged, removed battery and then replugged in - started flashing again.... screen remains off, only the 4 'buttons' at the bottom are flashing (white)
Anyone have this problem before? I will try to leave it plugged in, thinking maybe when charge is brought back up, perhaps it will work???.... but it concerns me that it continues to flash...
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Judy

Ahh! Let's ensure your device completes the power up, Judy521. How long were you allowing the device to charge? Is the device able to power up in Safe Mode? http://vz.to/19woIwa

Naming Buttons - Problem with using Captivate 7 Buttons to Open URL or File

After spending too much time troubleshooting a button problem, I discovered the importance of naming each item in a Captivate project.
For some reason I have yet to figure out, publishing to SWF from Captivate causes buttons to function arbitrarily. In my case, I had eight buttons pointing to external URLs, three that worked and five that didn't. All of the buttons pointed to the same external website, only to different PDFs hosted on that site. Each button was named with the default "Button_X" convention as set by Captivate. After trying lots of different settings adjustments, On Enter and On Exit actions, and Play/Pause timings, I did what I should've done from the beginning; changed the names of the buttons.
Why this worked? I don't know. I've seen hints on other discussions as to SWFs not working well when there are a lot of unnamed or default-named items. If there's some logic to this I would be happy to know it, but for a default setting to cause such a bizarre problem is beyond my comprehension. I could understand if I had named the buttons incorrectly, but I didn't do anything to them; I left them with the names created by default.
Hopefully this helps someone else resolve a similar issue and, if anything, encourages everyone to follow best practices and use a clear file naming conventions for all projects.
