Buttons in movie ... in IE6.0

Hello,
I've made a movie clip in flash 8 (published it as a flash 7
movie). In my clip I put a few buttons to ghet a menu. When I
publish it it acts as if it where a button. You first have to klick
it before it starts acting as a normal menu. I only have this
problem with internet explorer 6.0 and not with firefox. It looks
like it started after I deinstalled my flashplayer and let it
reinstall it again through my embeded code (automatically generated
with dreamweaver).
What has happened?
Greetings,
Muzemaker

Muzemaker;
It was caused by a new update to ie which affects all active
x content.
Check the forum for related posts, it's been a topic of
discussion for quite
awhile. -Tom Unger

Every time I create a button it moves to the centre of the page when outputing to pdf

every time I create a button it moves to the centre of the page when outputting to pdf
I have done a load of tests and it does it every time
I imported a jpg image as my button. Converted it to a button by Interactive/convert button. Even before I setup all the options in the buttons panel it moves. So for instance I have the button in the bottom RHS in Indesign. Then make a interactive pdf and its in the centre of the page. I have even converted the image back to an object and it goes back to in proper position.
I have tried this in several documents, starting from scratch and using different images and also drawn a button. I have also used the buttons from the button library
In previous version of Indesign I have never uncounted this problem.

Advanced Button with Movie Clip and Fading

Problem: I'm trying to create a bottun that when you roll
over it it plays a movie clip and also fades in and out on roll
out. It is similiar to the three main navigating buttons on the
following site.
http://www.fjcruiser.ca/
the buttons with the compasses that appear are the ones I am
talking about.
I already know how to make buttons, I just can't figure out
the actionscripting to load the movie and also fade in and fade out
according to roll over and roll out.
Please help. Thank everyone.

Amazingly, I actually know exactly how to do this. And it
only requires about 4 lines of code in the _root layer and on the
button.
Instead of having the rollover load an external movie, you
want the have the rollover execute an on(enterFrame) function that
tells each newly entered frame of your movie to check to make sure
the mouse is still on the button, and if not, send the movie
playhead backwards.
So, put that sampleMovie right on the stage with the button.
Then write the code in the _root so that says: as long as the mouse
is over the button, the movie will advance to nextFrame(). When it
gets to the next frame, again the code checks to see if the mouse
is on the button, if so, the movie is instruct to go one more next
frame (which is tweening the fade, right?) again, over and over
until the stop() at the last frame. But, if while while entering a
frame, the code finds that the mouse is no longer over the button,
it does the same thing but this time instructs prevFrame(), and so
on, going prevFrame (backwards, in other words) as long as the
mouse is not on the button.
The result of the above is a gradual fade in and out,
depending on whether the mouse is hovering. This, as opposed to an
abrupt disappearing graphic on(rollOut).
Click the below link for the .fla that demonstrates this
technique (which, by the way, I learned from Joshua Davis'
excellent book, "flash to the core". Check it out at Amazon, or
wherever. Lots of cool tricks).

Buttons in Movie Clips, Movie Clips in Movie Clips

Here goes. I have a scene with a button in the timeline, that
targets a frame in a movie clip, which is essentially the content
area of the layout. this is the code used:
on (release) {
textmov.gotoAndPlay ("challenge");
This works fine and dandy. Now the problem. Within this
"Content" movie clip, i have another movie clip with a button in
it. This clip is designed to tween in then upon clicking a close
button tween out. When I test it the button doesn't have rollovers
like and I can't get it to talk to the clip above it to play the
close tween.

buttons in movie clips

relatively sure that you

is there any place you could kindly upload the source file
for me to check ?
> Do buttons operate independently of the Movie Clip
timeline they are placed in?
that is correct, button should work independently to movie
clip.
it only react to mouse upon entering the HIT state (which is
invisible to user)
and stops reacting once the mouse is off that state.
> I have one Movie Clip with a one frame time line, should
a Button symbol work
> it it?
of course it should work...
Try to upload the source, let us check it out for you, spare
you time on guessing :)

Trying to use a button to move form data to another section of the document

Not sure how to form this question, but hoping you guys (the experts) will be able to help me along....
I'm trying to setup a form that, when you select a button it moves data like below:
and then will move it to the correct section as indicated by which button you pressed:
Is this possible? Any help you can provide would be very appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Alright - so I've been trying to work w/the scripting language (I'm sorry, I'm fairly new, and one of two things happens whenever I enter it in.
1. The text disappears from the box on the right and doesn't show up in the assigned boxes.
2. Nothing happens
I've attached a photo (below) of the script as my ignorant self believes it should look. Any thoughts? (Again, I appreciate your patience here - thanks!):

I think I screwed up my migration. I turned off the sub-accounts on my Mobile Me Family Pack before I hit the button to move my account. Now it seems I have delete all of my family's email accounts. Can they be re-activated/retrieved?

I think I screwed up my migration. I turned off the sub-accounts on my Mobile Me Family Pack before I hit the button to move my account. Now it seems I have deleted all of my family's email accounts. Can they be re-activated/retrieved? The instructions at that point were vague to non-existent.

I'm tryin to move my account to iCloud too and I have sub accounts. I deleted a couple of the sub accounts and found that one of them (didn't try the other one) couldn't login anymore. I haven't moved to iCloud yet and I was able to re-establish the sub account. I had another go at moving to iCloud and noticed that I may not need to delete the sub accounts, it just warns that I won't be able to add or delete them after moving to iCloud. Maybe that is the way to go. Move the main account to iCloud without deleting the sub accounts?? Maybe this will leave the sub account owners able to move in their own time.
I don't know if you can fix what you have done if you have already moved to iCloud with your main account. Might be time for you visit the local Genius Bar or call Apple support.
I may try a visit to my local Genius Bar over the weekend if I can make an appointment ;-)

AS2 How to make a button that moves every two seconds

How can I make a button that moves every two seconds by itself in ActionScript2?
At the moment, I have to use the on(press) command, but what I really need is for the button to be able to move randomly by itself every two seconds. For example:
(insert the code here) {
bc1._x = random(250)
bc1._y = random(250)
Thanks!

You can use the setInterval function to have a function repeated for specific time intervals. Here is a link to a tutorial that explains how to use it...

Buttons in movie clip won't bring up scenes

I've created a movie clip within my main scene.
I have 6 buttons in that clip. I would like these buttons to
call up the appropriate scenes but it isn't. I don't know whether I
cannot have buttons in movie clips call up new scenes or if my
actions script is simply wrong.
Here are some of the actions I've tried to upload the scene
or swf files:
thanks.
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("instance name");
----Also, named 1st frame of scenes with matching instance.
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("scene name");
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("scenename",1);
on (release){
uploadMovie ("name.swf",1);
}

use frame labels only and use the goto methods (like your
first 2 goto statements) and not the goto functions (like your last
2 goto statements).
also, there is no uploadMovie() method in actionscript. use
loadMovieNum() if you want to load name.swf into _level1.

How do I create a play button for movie clip using AS3

Hello.
Bit new to this and have been searching the adobe forums and google. I am trying to create a button that will play an imported MovieClip.
I have a movie clip that I've imported into it's own layer (Layer1) Frame 1. I've given the MovieClip an instance name of foundationMovie.
I've created a button and have that on its own layer(Layer2) above layer1, it is also in Frame 1.
I've added a
stop (); action to layer2
The video is not set to autoplay.
I want the video to start playing when the viewer clicks the button. I know I've got to put some kind of event listener using AS3 in my timeline somewhere.
I've found some code and I've been trying to work with it. I'm sure I've mutilated it beyond usability but this is what I've got.
stop ();
player.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,play);
function play(event:MouseEvent)
gotoAndPlay("foundationMovie");
If someone could point me the right direction or help me with my code I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

First, you need to clear up what you are working with... a movieclip and a video are usually entirely different things.
Next, your code may get you started on your way with some changes. You shouldn't use "play" as a function name due to there already being a play() method/function in Flash.
If the movieclip is a movieclip and has an instance name of "foundationMovie", and your button has an instance name of "player" then the following adjusted code would normally work...
stop ();
player.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playMovie);
function playMovie(event:MouseEvent)
foundationMovie.play();

How to add button inside move clip and call it from main timeline?

Hi,
On the main timeline I have a movie clip called clock_mc and playBtn
playBtn is placed in the center of clock_mc
When you press playBtn clock_mc starts playing
playBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playClock);
function playClock(event:MouseEvent):void
    if (event.target == playBtn)
        clock_mc.play();
        playBtn.visible = false;
        trace ("play button was clicked");
This is working fine for me.
But I want to add replayBtn to the last frame of clock_mc and set up the function on main Timeline.
Another words when the clock_mc rich last frame you see replayBtn.
code example:
replayBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playClock);
    if (event.target == replayBtn)
        clock_mc.play();
        replayBtn.visible = false;
        trace ("replay button was clicked");
I've tryed to placed the replayBtn on the stage on the main timeline and I've set it up to replayBtn.visible = false;
And then I add replayBtn.visible = true; to last AS frame of clock_mc but it wont work
Even when I put the button physically to the last frame of clock_mc it will not work either.
Please help

I've solved the problem:-)
I've set replayBtn.visible = false; on first frame of clock_mc
and replayBtn.visible = true; at the last frame
and than as you sugested I'v add:
clock_mc.replayBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, replayClock);
function replayClock(event:MouseEvent):void
        clock_mc.play();
        trace ("replay button was clicked");
I couldn't see replayBtn at the firs stage because I have clockTween assosiated with clock:
clockTween = new Tween(clock_mc, "x", Regular.easeOut, -469,438, .5, true);
and I had replyBtn in the wrong place so when clock_mc was coming up on the stage replayBtn was on the left side of the stage :/
Now I have to solve only one thing.
Maybe you would have any suggestions please.
I've set up stop(); in a first frame of clock_mc
that when you see clock_mc sliding in it has to wait for playBtn to be clicked
because I have two tween:
        clockTween = new Tween(clock_mc, "x", Regular.easeOut, -469,438, .5, true);
        playTween = new Tween(playBtn, "x", Regular.easeOut, -720,514, .5, true);
        playBtn.visible = true;
so when you click on playBtn:
function playClock(event:MouseEvent):void
    if (event.target == playBtn)
        clock_mc.play();
        playBtn.visible = false;
        trace ("play button was clicked");
everythink is working fine except when I clik on replayBtn it play for I sec because there is stop(); on the first frame of clock_mc

Buttons in movie clip don't work consistently

I'm using Flash navigation in Dreamweaver. Most of the
buttons work, except for a bunch that are in a movie clip. They
sometimes load the right page, sometimes not at all. I'm using
Flash CS3 and ActionScript 2.0.
This is what I have on the buttons:
on (release) {
getURL("This is where I have the URL", "_self");
}

first and foremost. For testing, add a trace to your
function.
on(release){
trace("The release is triggering");
getURL("TheURL","_self");
If this traces out when you test the movie, then you know
that the release is getting triggered. If it does not, then it is a
problem with the release not getting triggered.
If it is getting triggered, then the problem is in the getURL
statement. I would try _root.getURL(); to force the getURL to
happen on the main timeline.
If it is not getting triggered, then I may consider using
timeline actions in the root timeline. To do this, give the
movieClip that they are embedded in an instanceName, and give each
button an instanceName. Then use code like the following on the
first frame of the root timeline:
myMovieClip.myButton.onRelease = function(){
getURL("TheURL","_self");
}

How to display button when movie ends

Hello!
I made a short movie in After Effects and now I'm trying to add some buttons to it. The movie starts with an intro and when that ends a "continue" button should appear and take you to the next part. My idea was to place a screenshot of the last frame in the next keyframe with a stop() function after the intro and add the button to that but it would be less work to make the button appear the end of the movie using some code I have no idea about I would really appreciate some guidance.

put a stop() in your swf's main timeline last frame and put a continue button on-stage in that last frame.
p.s. you'll need some coding for that button so it does something.

Idvd, buttons and movies order

I created an iDVD project with 12 movies, each with a button.
(What i really wanted was to make 1 movie with 12 chapters. Is there a way to merge the 12 movies into one?)
My question about my iDVD project is: What determines the order in which the movies are being played?
Also, I burned the DVD and the navigation system doesn't allow me to view some movies. I tried to view it on a Windows computer and it only plays one movie and I can't access the others.
What can I do?
Thank you for your help.
