Buttons in Flash Cs3

I know a user can revert to actionscript 2.0 in Flash CS3,
but Is there anyway to revert back to the old way of entering the
action script of a button by clicking on it, on the stage?

Unfortunately you cannot add scripts to symbols in AS3. It
has always been considered bad practice to do this, even is
AS1/2.

PLEASE HELP ASAP! Button in Flash CS3 not working

I need help desperately. As soon as possible. I only know the
VERY basic's of flash, so I need it to be simple!! I am using Flash
CS3, but the only coding I know is from Flash 8.
1.I simply want to just be able to type out text that will be
my button. (I clearly know how to do this)
2.Convert that text to a button. (I know how to do this as
well)
3. Apply an action to the button. (I keep getting the error
"actions cannot be applied to the current selection")
4. Have that button go to a specific place in the timeline
that I have named (It has the red flag next so I know where to send
the button to)
5. This is the ONLY code I know is even close to what I need
to have it be at:
on (release) {
//Movieclip GotoAndStop Behavior
this.gotoAndStop("graphic");
//End Behavior
Is there a way to upload the flash files? If so I will
upload, because I know this sounds simple enough, but it wont work.
Thanks

You are trying to use AS1 in your movie, and the movie's
Publish settings are set to use AS3. You can use your current code
by opening the Publish Settings, going to the Flash tab and then
selecting AS1-AS2 in the Actionscript option.
A better, long term solution, would be to read through the
tutorials that come with Flash CS3 to learn the proper coding
techniques to use with AS3.

Why can't a button have 'actions applied to it' in Flash CS3?

Why can't a button have 'actions applied to it' in Flash CS3?
I'm used to working with buttons in Flash MX and Flash 8 but
after creating a button in Flash CS3, I'm getting text that reads
'Current Selection Cannot Have Actions Applied To It' and so the
actions menus are greyed out.
What's the problem?

There is nothing stopping you from producing files in the old
ways. Go to the publish settings and select to publish as AS2. You
can then use the techniques you are familiar with.
However as dzedward points out, Actionscript has come a long
way. The technique of putting the code directly on instances really
went out with Flash MX in 2001 and for a long time now that wasn't
the best way to do it. See this article by the very excellent David
Stiller about it:
http://www.quip.net/blog/2006/flash/museum-pieces-on-and-onclipevent
So even if you aren't ready to take the plunge into AS3, I
would recommend learning this style for all your AS2/1
needs.

Flash CS3 Linking

Hi,
I am extremely new to creating websites, I knew nothing three
weeks ago. The site I have built is www.alecq.com the problem I am
having is that after much trouble I managed to create a button in
flash CS3 and export it to Dreamweaver CS3. The links work, however
when pressed they open in a new window. How can I do this so that
when a link is pressed it opens in the same window.
I hope this makes sense. Below is the code I used in Flash
for one of the buttons:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var getportfolio:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Untitled
Document");
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,pclick);
function pclick(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(getportfolio);
I will now show the relevant code from dreamweaver:
<object
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="

I would be so very grateful of some help, please keep it
simple though, my knowledge is minimal! Many thanks in
advance.

Flash CS3 - Odd button problem

Hello, Ive upgraded to Flash CS3 and I'm having a problem
with buttons.
When I open up my site, the old buttons work fine to navigate
the site and open up URL links. I have the actions on their own
layer instead of having an onRelease on each button.
However, when I create new buttons, they don't work.
I've even tried copying the existing working buttons,
applying the exact same actionscript to figure out what's going on,
but that also doesn't work, those buttons won't open up the URLs.
Am I perhaps using the wrong publish settings/flash player
choice?
Thanks

The answer is "skins" just search under "Creating skins for
some instances" in the Flash CS3 help file.

Flash CS3, Having Problems Creating Button Animation

I am relatively new to Flash CS3, and don't use action script... I am creating an animation with sound using the button graphic option so it is a clickable button. I have the animation finished, and the sound embeded, and everything is working great, except when I publish it, I have to click and hold over the graphic for the animation to happen... If I click and release, the animation and sound clips stop... What am I doing wrong and how on Earth can I fix it??? Thank you in advance for any suggestions!!

Yup, that is how it works. You can't control which state a button is in. So when you click on it, it will go to the down state and when you let go it will go back to over (or up if you release outside).
Not sure exactly what the "fix" is. It depends upon what you are trying to do. Generally you would need to use MovieClips instead of buttons with event handlers to tell you "button" what to do. Very few people I know actually use buttons.

How to make email link with a button with AC2 in flash cs3?

How to make email link with a button with AC2 in flash cs3?
I wrote this, but it does not work:
btn_emailinfo.on (release) {
getURL("mailto:"[email protected]");
}

I am guessing you put that on a frame?
If so, the syntax is as follows:
btn_emailinfo.onRelease = function(){
getURL("mailto:[email protected]");
Though, if you are placing it directly on the button itself,
the syntax is:
on(release){
getURL("mailto:[email protected]");
}

Flash CS3: Buttons and Button issues

Hello,
I am currently using flash CS3, and going at my 1st attempt at making a flash website for my screenprinting business. I am using action script 2. I created the buttons (Button Symbols) in flash and am having difficulty with them. When I go to test the movie I get this error message "Mouse events are permitted only for button instances". Once again, I have created these buttons as button sumbols in flash and they are all not working properly as I have a error message for each button symbol. What might be going on, and what can I do to resolve it?
5 button instances
Location is scene 1
Sourse is On Press
This is how I am coding the buttons
on (press) {
gotoAndStop(1);
6 page flash site

What you should do is take a different approach and not use code that gets attached to objects--it's an old practice that unfortunately couldn't be dropped due to the need to support old designs.
Give each button on the stage a unqiue instance name and assign code for them using their names. So if you have a button that you assign the instance name "btn1", then you can assign its code in the timeline using...
btn1.onRelease = function(){ // recommend using onRelease over onPress
gotoAndStop(1);

How to create a comment form in Flash CS3

I am trying to create an add comment form in Flash cs3. I
have the background design and the text input areas and sub mit
buttons. But how do I get the submit button to add the comment to a
different area in the same flash file? My inputs and buttons are on
the left side of the stage and my display comments is on the right
side of the stage. How do I connect the two?

The user types something into a text input space and when the
user then uses the submit button, you want that same, user entered,
text to display in another, different, text area? If that's the
case then make that second text area a dynamic textfield and set
its text property to the text property of the input text
space.

Color management issues with Flash CS3, please help?

Hello everyone.
I am having issues with color from a Jpeg image produced in Photoshop CS4
after importing onto the stage in Flash CS3. The color in Flash changes the image to a lighter less saturated state. Yuk.
Here is a link to a screen capture to show you what's happening (for a bigger view):
http://www.rudytorres.com/color/weirdcolor.png
As you can see the front image is the Photoshop image showing the sRGB color profile embedded but Flash (behind) changes that color.
This client is quite picky and she will notice this difference.
If any one can help, please.
- Rudy
P.S. It's a button somewhere, Right?

Dougfly,
Only an hour wasted? Lucky you. Color is an incredibly complex subject. First, forget matching anything to the small LCD on the back of your camera. That's there as a basic guide and is affected by the internal jpg algorithm of your camera.
2nd, you're not really takeing a color photo with your digital camera, but three separate B&W images in a mosaic pattern, exposed thru separate red, green and blue filters. Actual color doesn't happen until that matrix is demosaiced in either your raw converter, or the in-camera processor (which relies heavily on camera settings, saturation, contrast, mode, etc.)
Having said the above, you can still get very good, predictable results in your workflow. I have a few color management articles on my website that you might find very helpful. Check out the Introduction to Color Management and Monitor and Printer Profiling. In my opinion, a monitor calibration device is the minimum entry fee if you want decent color.

Flash CS3 hard crash on Debug Movie

I've logged this bug but wanted to post it to the boards in
case anyone else is having this same problem. It's been going on
since I purchased Flash CS3 pro and has been really crippling my
development workflow because I can only get the debugger to work
maybe 1 in 4 times.
I also tried reinstalling the latest Java hoping that might
help as the bug referenced Java.
******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Debug Movie (Flash CS3 IDE) with licensed off-the-shelf
Flash CS3 Pro.
Notes: "About Flash" shows version as: 9.0
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\Flash.exe properties
shows version as 9.0.0.494
http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html
"Adobe Flash Player Update for Flash CS3 Professional (9.0.2)"
never seems to "take" no matter how many times I apply it and
restart.
Results: Immediate crash of Flash IDE
And unable to re-open Flash IDE by clicking on an FLA file or
Flash Shortcut, which give the message "Windows cannot find
'[filename]' Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try
again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click
Search." Must restart or logout in order to be able to open Flash
again.
Expected results:
No crash, debugger should work.

Error publishing Air in Flash CS3

Hi All
On the Adobe Air Flash CS3 wiki page
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/AIR:Flash_CS3_Professional_Update:Getting_Started_wit h_AIR_for_Flash_CS3_Professional)
I found a simlpe tutorial "Creating an Adobe AIR application
in Flash"
I thought well this can't be hard can it?
However when I use the Publish Air File button in the 'AIR -
Applications and Installer Settings' window I will get the
following error:
"namespace is invalid in the application descriptor file"
Now I have tried to look into the XML file but I cannot see
any problems.
I also tried to use the descriptor-template.xml which came
with the Air - SDK
However also that will not work.
Has anyone got an idea why I get this error?

Hi FragFood!
I received the same error "Namespace is invalid in the
application descriptor file" repeatedly on many computers
(XP/Vista) and here is how i repeatedly worked around it.
I made a step-by-step sheet explaining exactly how to install
Flash CS3 (9.0) with the Latest Flash Player (v9.0.124), and with
Adobe AIR (1.0) as of today (3/May/2008).
If you have already installed Flash CS3
Uninstall Flash CS3
Goto all the "Program Data" folders, RENAME/DELETE the "en"
folder
Goto "Program Files" folder, RENAME/DELETE the "en" folder
Now to get the latest version of Flash CS3 installed!
Please follow these steps exactly; each one is extremely
important.

Can I use AS2 in Flash CS3 ?

Is it possible to use in Flash Cs3 the AS2 and not just AS3 ?
I am only trying to do a web link from a button to some web
site.....
I wrote
on (release) {
getURL ("
http://www.yahoo.com", "_blank");
and nothing happen....some women here asked same question a
month ago...people told her it is different from the AS2.....still
I cant used AS2 in falsh cs3 ?
or can I ?

you can mix as1 and as2 in an swf created in flash cs3 or you
can use as3 in a swf created in flash cs3. but you cannot mix as3
with either of the other two languages.
use the publish settings to choose which language you want to
use in your swf.

Flash CS3-Instant Demo

Hello,
I am trying to import a .swf file that was created in Instant Demo. I am using Flash CS3. The .swf animation works correctly before I import it into Flash. After I publish the animation in Flash, buttons no longer work. Any suggestions?
Thank you for your help,
J

Go to adobe's web page and download and install the latest update.

Audio from Flash CS3 Video overlapping

audio from Flash CS3 Video overlapping
help stopping the FLVPlayback instance (which has an instance
name of theVideo) when another button is clicked!
How do I stop flv playback when user clicks a navigation
button ...
Excuse me in advance for asking about a topic that may be
very popular!
I'm using the attached code to go from the main stage to one
subset of .swf files (loaded movies) and I apparently have no
problems with overlapping. Hell, the files even seem to unload
themselves correctly. Then, when I go to my second subset of .swf
files (with the exact same AS3 structure), which has a Flash Video
file (made by the FLV Playback component), I get into an
overlapping problem associated with the audio.
How can I stop, cancel, or unload the audio when the file is
clicked away from (the user selects another button on the main
stage)?
Code attached. Please let me know if anything else is needed.
Yours Sincerely,
Jntspecialty

I have tried to clean up code and do this right.
I need help referencing (storing the value in the variable
"stopsoundoverlapReq") the "flvplayback instance AFTER theVideo is
instantiated (ie, the frame that contains theVideo has rendered)"
correctly.
Also, now I need help with the name of my nav bar button's
method followed by parentheses, which should include the
appropriate method parameter.
On my main timeline, I tried to clean up the code and use:
var stopsoundoverlapReq:FLVPlayback =
stop("videopage.swf/MovieClip(ldr.content).theVideo");
Then for my nav bar button on this same timeline use:
any_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopsoundoverlap);
function stopsoundoverlap(event:MouseEvent):void
stopsoundoverlap.stop(stopsoundoverlapReq);
The 3 errors I get now are :
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant:
FLVPlayback. var stopsoundoverlapReq:FLVPlayback =
stop("videopage.swf/MovieClip(ldr.content).theVideo");
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method stop through a
reference with static type Function.
stopsoundoverlap.stop(stopsoundoverlapReq);
1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0.
var stopsoundoverlapReq:FLVPlayback =
stop("videopage.swf/MovieClip(ldr.content).theVideo");
