Flash 8 button trouble

I am still trying to figure out a problem I am having.
Have a grid with 12 movieclip buttons, when clicked a button changes color, displays a message. This message contains another button "for more information click here". I have it pointed to a frame inside the movieclip button.
When this further information frame appears, the buttons from the root are visible on top of it. Also, if you move the mouse when you're inside this "further info" frame, everything disappears (except those 12 buttons).
Is it possible for somebody to look at the fla and tell me what I am doing wrong? I would be very grateful!!!

I guess you can solve it simple by using the visible property of an object.
just set visible to which ever object and others set visible to false.
you can share the fla if u couldnt find out.

Are Flash Professional Buttons broken in Flash Builder 4.7/AIR 3.4?

Moved my ActionScript Mobile Project game from Flash Builder 4.6 / AIR 3.2 yesterday to the new release of 4.7 / AIR 3.4. I immediately ran into a problem with Flash Professional Button's working incorrectly. The buttons have linkages in a SWC exported from Flash Professional CS6, which the project has linked. The content of the buttons doesn't seem to matter. It seems to break in different ways visually depending on it's composition (sometimes it loads unreleated bitmap data or displays with a strange transformation). Has anyone else seen this behaviour so far?

I don't have the time to create a unique project for adobe bug database. So many are having the same issue, I'm shocked that Adobe doesn't know about this already. This discussion that I'm writing in right now was started in december, almost 7 months ago.
Joseph Labrecque says in his blog that adobe does know of this issue and is working on it, he said that 6 months ago. Is he incorrect?
Joseph LabrecqueJanuary 4, 2013 at 6:21 pmGood news that Adobe is actively working on a fix for this issue.

Issue: Flash radio buttons & Php form

I have a flash form which all of the fields are sending
correctly
through the php code. The flash radio buttons I added with
the
groupname == topic, doesnt send with the rest of the
information that is being sent to the email. My question is
how do I get
the flash radio button info to submit with the rest of the
form.
The code for the send button on my flash file:
on (release) {
// send variables in form movieclip (the textfields)
// to email PHP page which will send the mail
form.loadVariables("form.php", "POST");
===============================================
===============================================
Form.php:
<?php
$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Contact Page Information for Today";
$headers = "From: " . $_POST["name"];
$headers .= "<" . $_POST["email"] . ">\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Return-Path: " . $_POST["email"];
$message .= "\n\n";
$message .= "Subject: " . $_POST["topic"] . "\r\n";
$message .= "Email: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";

Do you mean like this:
<?php
var topic;
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.click = function(eventObj:Object) {
topic = eventObj.target.data;
trace(topic)
groupTopic1_rb.addEventListener("click", listenerObject);
groupTopic2_rb.addEventListener("click", listenerObject);
groupTopic3_rb.addEventListener("click", listenerObject);
groupTopic4_rb.addEventListener("click", listenerObject);
groupTopic5_rb.addEventListener("click", listenerObject);
groupTopic6_rb.addEventListener("click", listenerObject);
groupTopic7_rb.addEventListener("click", listenerObject);
groupTopic8_rb.addEventListener("click", listenerObject);
groupTopic9_rb.addEventListener("click", listenerObject);
groupTopic10_rb.addEventListener("click", listenerObject);
groupTopic11_rb.addEventListener("click", listenerObject);
groupTopic12_rb.addEventListener("click", listenerObject);
groupTopic13_rb.addEventListener("click", listenerObject);
groupTopic14_rb.addEventListener("click", listenerObject);
$to = "[email protected]";

Form from hell (Flash Radio Buttons)

Does anyone have a bead out there on a behavior that you can
use with the native Flash radio button groups in Director MX 2004.
I am going freakin' bonkers trying to write a behavior for
these things.

The Flash Components are not documented in Director, though
they are
documented in Flash. If you can parse the dense and difficult
to
understand Flash Help file (and yes, you would need to have
Flash to get
it), then you can see all the docs for those components.
Before I go much further, I should say that in my experience,
using
#flashComponents is a painful and tedious business. I do not
recommend
it. It will probably be MUCH easier on you in the long run if
you write
your own script from scratch.
But, for the sake or archival completeness, this is a script
that will
do what you want with the checkbox/radio button
#flashComponents:
1) Go into the Property Inspector and on the FlashComponent
tab for each
member, make sure that the eventPassMode is set to
#passAlways
2) Put this code onto the buttons:
on mouseUp me
if sprite(me.spriteNum).selected then
sendAllSprites(#deselect,me.spriteNum)
end if
end
on deselect me, vExcept
if me.spriteNum<>vExcept then
sprite(me.spriteNum).selected=0
end if
end

How to open an swf in its own window outside flash using button

how do I open an swf in its own window outside the flash using button?

Hi,
Try this code:
import mx.containers.Window;
var my_button:mx.controls.Button;
var buttonListener:Object = new Object();
buttonListener.click = function(evt_obj:Object) {
var my_win:MovieClip = mx.managers.PopUpManager.createPopUp(evt_obj.target, Window, true, {title:"Sample Image", contentPath:"uganda_animation_Scene 1.swf"});
my_win.setSize(320, 240);
my_button.addEventListener("click", buttonListener);
You must drag the window default component and place in to the library.

Flashing startup button

So, I was out mowing the lawn. When I came back in, my Mac had shut itself down. Strange, it hasn't done that before except after a power cut. Which, as far as I am aware, there wasn't today.
When I booted it up again, there was a strangely different monotone straight away and then the power button flashed quickly a number of times... then it seemed to start up ok.
It's working now, but do I have a problem? I've searched the discussion site for flashing power buttons but with no success. Any help would be much appreciated.

Flash Component Button click not working

I've gone back to an old project to change some logos around,
and my flash component buttons no longer work. They appear on
stage, but the click event is not happening. I authored on XP, now
on Vista. Director 10.1. Any idea what is happening?

If you are adding those buttons now, check for each button
the Flash
component tab in the property inspector and make sure the
eventPassMode
(lowest option) is set to #passAllways.

Help! Flash Button Troubles

O.K., Hello again everyone got yet another rookie question so
hopefuly y'all have the answer... I am using Dreamweaver MX and
using the preset Flash Buttons that come with it the "slider"
button in particular now I have edited this button and specified a
link (photoshop.htm) coming from (index.htm) but when I upload the
files to the server and try to test it, my index.htm comes up and
is perefect but the button will not link when clicked, it does
everything it is supposed to except take me to another page. I
inspected the code and saw no reference to the page it is to link
to, so attched is the code for y'all to see. Pleez HELP!
-P.S.- also with these buttons I must click to activate them
is there a way around having to click on them before they will
animate?
.

Don't use Flash buttons. That answer is simple! 8)
There are several really good reasons not to use them -
1. They are inaccessible
2. They can't be spidered
3. They aren't usable by those who don't have Flash
installed.

T430 not booting - flashing power button

A friend of mine asked me to look at his T430 because it wasn't booting. Basically as soon as you plug the AC adapter in the CPU fan turns on (sounds like full speed) and the power button pulses / flashes (once every 2 seconds fading in and out). I have stripped everything out (down to the mainboard but still doing the same thing. Even with the processor and memory out still does the same thing.
Without AC and the battery in pressing the power button yields the same result.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Heard of this? Know the solution? Or even know what this type of error signifies?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I need to get it fixed for him ASAP.

Hi, welcome to the forum!
I hope that this classic trick will help you with your troubles:
Remove battery and power cable.
Press the power button 10 times in a row, each time just for a fraction of a second. Then press it once again and hold it for 30-40 seconds and release. Try to start it again, post back here with results.

Replay Button troubles...

Hello Everyone!
I am in need of some assistance with attaching the
actionscript to replay my movie (and the music to go along with
it).
This is what I have done:
1. My button has been created. I just don't know where to put
the actionscript.
2. I'm using Flash CS3.
Any response will be fine. Basically I just need to know
where to put the actionscript for this replay button.
Thank you so much!!! :)

Hi,
I am still having trouble attaching the code.
This is what I am doing:
1. Like I said before, the button has been created.
2. now from what i've been reading, you can only attach the
script to the main timeline of the movie, however I only want to
attach the code to the button and I cannot.
3. Something I did try was copying a replay button from
another movie into the movie i'm working on now. When I go to test
the movie, I get this error:
WARNING: Actions on button or MovieClip instances are not
supported in ActionScript 3.0. All scripts on object instances will
be ignored.
I really want to get this accomplished today, any help is
appreciated. Thank you all so much.
This is the code that is attached to the copied replay button
from the previous movie:

Creating a simple Flash Website - Button Problems

I am totally new to this. Please be as detailed as possible.
I do not know anything.
I'm building a website using this basic model (
http://www.oman3d.com/tutorials/flash/simple_website/).
I tested the tutorial to become familiar with it.
However, I want to use custom buttons that I made in
Photoshop as links to the other pages in the website. The tutorial
I'm using only demonstrates the use of components and parameters.
How would I go about doing the same thing but with my own buttons?
I've imported them as TIFF. Is that correct? Do I need to make them
into symbols? And even then, how do I link them to the pages?
Can you please help me or direct me to an useful tutorial
that can better explain the process?
Thanks so much!
I hope I was detailed enough...let me know what info you
need.

Which version of Flash/actionscript are you using? Since you
are just starting out, you should read one of Adobe's tutorials on
the matter. Either use Flash Help to find examples on how to use
Flash or go to their website. Here is a great tutorial for someone
just starting out. Make sure you read all three tutorials in "Using
Flash for the first time".

Submit by Email Button Trouble

I have created a form fillable pdf with a Submit by Email button. The problem I am having is that some people I send this to fill out the form, click on the Submit by Email button and nothing happens. It doesn't work at all. Others have no problem with it working. Have you experienced this problem, or can you offer any suggestions how to correct this? I really need for this to work 100% of the time, or I will just need to remove this feature. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

When it doesn't work, do you know what PDF viewer is being used? It won't work with certain non-Adobe PDF viewers, such as the Preview application on the Mac or Google Chrome browser's built-in PDF viewer. It also may not work even if using Adobe Reader if the client doesn't have a propertly set up email client or the email client is otherwise not compatible. It will never work 100% of the time when sending by email.
If you want to increase the reliablility significantly, you should look into setting it up so the form submits to a web server. This has the added benefit of being able to be secure without too much trouble, unlike email.
