Help on Flash Navigation

Could anyone help me out with this?
I have a button that is buryed in an "movie" object and I cannot get it to go to a labeled frame on the main movie timeline. I have used the code below in the past, but its not working.
Anyone?
I have named the instance of the button "CLbtn"
this.CLbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,CLbtnClick);
function CLbtnClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
(parent as MovieClip).gotoAndPlay("top");

Hmmm, I'm not sure what an NE_24 object is exactly.
Can you access the stage directly? Instead of using "(parent as MovieClip)" try just using "stage" in its place. So it would look like:
stage.gotoAndPlay("top");
If that doesn't work, then maybe you can reach the stage from the NE_24 by accessing its parent.
If you go that route let me know what these traces return, so we can see if you can find the stage that way:
trace(parent.parent);
trace(parent.parent.parent);
I've had instances where I've needed to do this to reach back to the stage (when the stage was not directly accessible)
[EDIT]
Just so I am clear in understanding what you want. You are trying to play the main timeline, correct? Or are you trying to play the timeline of a movieclip that is on the stage?
If you're trying to play the timeline of a movieclip on the stage then we'll be looking for a "object MovieClip" instead of "object Stage" in the parent structure.

Need help for flash builder

i need help for flash builder 4 and papervison 3d. I need to create a slider with it ranges of value from 10 to 50 to adjust the camera values for the camera.fov and also need to create it for the yaw of the object from 0 to 360. I try to look for any slider event and classes in this program but cant find any, btw, i need to use the AS only project file.
here is my codes:
can you please tell me how i should modify the codes?
package
    import flash.display.BitmapData;
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import org.papervision3d.materials.BitmapFileMaterial;
    import org.papervision3d.materials.BitmapMaterial;
    import org.papervision3d.objects.primitives.Sphere;
    import org.papervision3d.view.BasicView;
    [SWF (width="800", height="600", backgroundColor="0x000000",frameRate="30")]
    public class EarthBitmap extends BasicView
        private var sphere:Sphere;
        public function EarthBitmap()
            super(800 , 600);
            var earthmaterial:BitmapFileMaterial = new BitmapFileMaterial("../assets/Earth.jpg");
            sphere = new Sphere(earthmaterial,100,20,18);
            camera.fov = 25;
            scene.addChild(sphere);
            addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateSphere);
        public function rotateSphere(evt:Event):void
            sphere.yaw(0.2);
            singleRender();

Turn the click handler into a full on separate function. Then store all the views in an array and use Math.rand() to randomly choose one.
Something like this:
<fx:Script>
     <![CDATA[
          var questionsArray:Array = {question2,question3,question5,questionRed,questionGeography};
          function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent){
               var randomProblem:int = Math.floor(Math.random()*(questionsArray.length));     //generates a random integer between 0 and the total number of questions in the array (arrays are 0-based)
               navigator.pushView(questionsArray[randomProblem]);
     ]]>
</fx:Script>
<s:Button id="randomProblemButton" label="Next Problem" click="buttonClickHandler(event)" />
Haven't tested that, but something along that line should work

Problems with Flash Navigation

I'm trying to edit a horizontal flash navigation that I found
on the internet but i'm having some issues. The original file can
be found
here.
The flash pulls menu information from an XML file. To add a
menu block all I should have to do is add the text to the flash
file and then add a block of code to the XML file. The issue I'm
having is that when I attempt to add a 9th main menu item, its
submenu doesn't display correctly.
I've been wracking my brain on this one for days and can't
figure it out. Any help anyone could offer would be greatly
appreciated.

Try another name, words like Main or mainFrame are reserved
and always caused
problems. Give the frame some unique name Jodi_frame etc...
Also, don't forget to test it on server, not locally.

Flash navigation won't always load page

A web site I'm working on working uses Flash for the
navigation. There's a primary vertical navigation bar and all links
work. There are two vertical menu bars that appear separately when
certain buttons are rolled over on the primary bar. One of the
secondary bars works fine. The second one however is the one
causing me grief...it's a movie clip. When I click on a button, it
opens like an accordion revealing additional links. When any of the
links are clicked, a new web page is supposed to load. Sometimes
the appropriate page loads, sometimes not.
I've used getURL throughout and it works everywhere but in
that navigation bar.
Every html page has a different flash file. Sometimes when
the html page doesn't load the appropriate page, the proper flash
navigation appears though.
I've gone over the code for every button on every page and
searched forums, but still can't find what I've done wrong. Any
help would be appreciated.

Anyone know hoe to fix it

AS2 XML Flash Navigation

Hello All,
I have been creating a dynamic Flash Navigation based on a tutorial I found online.
I'm having issues aligning the MovieClip house all the array names from My XML file.
I'm using:
var yPosition:Number = 118;
var xPosition:Number = 250;
to align the Movie Clip. For some reason I can adjust the yPosition but I cant get the xPosition to move my MovieClip at all. >:(
Any helpful hints would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers-
Graeme

Heres the code I'm using:
//Store Button Position
var yPosition:Number = 118;
var xPosition:Number = 250;
//Declare New XML Object
var myXML:XML = new XML();
//Set Flash to ignore the XML file's white space
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
//Declare new Array to store the links from the XML file
var links:Array = new Array();
//Declare new Array to store the names from the XML file
var names:Array = new Array();
//Set XML onLoad function
myXML.onLoad = function(){
    //Set varible to store the XML childNodes
    //This allows you to get the number of buttons in the XML file.
    //You'll use this tell flash how many times to loop the for loop.
    var linkname:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes;
    //Set a for loop
    for(i=0;i<linkname.length;i++){
        //Push the button name into the names Array
        names.push(linkname[i].attributes.NAME);
        //Push the button link into the links Array
        links.push(linkname[i].attributes.LINK);
        //Attach the button Movie Clip from the libray give it an instance name and place it on the next highest level
        _root.attachMovie("button","btn"+i,_root.getNextHighestDepth());
        //Set the y position of the buttons
        _root["btn"+i]._y = yPosition;
        //Increace the varible yPosition 15 pixel each time the loop runs to place each button under each other
        yPosition = yPosition+25;
        //Place the button name from names Array into the blackTxt text box
        _root["btn"+(i)].blackTxt.Txt.text = (names[i]);
        //Place the button name from names Array into the whiteTxt text box
        _root["btn"+(i)].whiteTxt.Txt.text = (names[i]);
        //Assign the btnOver function to the button onRollOver state.
        _root["btn"+(i)].onRollOver = btnOver;
        //Assign the btnOut function to the button onRollOut state.
        _root["btn"+(i)].onRollOut = btnOut;
        //Assign the btnRelease function to the button onRelease state.
        _root["btn"+(i)].onRelease = btnRelease;
//Load the XML file
myXML.load("links.xml");
//Button Over function
function btnOver(){
    //This referse to the current button the mouse is over
    //Go To And Stop frame 2 of the current button the mouse is over
    this.gotoAndStop(2);
//Button Out function
function btnOut(){
    //Go To And Stop frame 3 of the current button the mouse rolls out from
    this.gotoAndStop(3);
//Button Release function
function btnRelease(){
    //Set a varible named currentBtn equal to the instance name of the current button the mouse clicked on
    var currentBtn:String = this._name;
    //Set a varible named currentIndex equal to the varible currentBtn and the characters between 3rd letter and 5th of that string.
    //This will return a number between 0 and the total number of buttons
    var currentIndex:String = currentBtn.substring(3,5);
    //Get the URL from the links Array
    //Use the currentIndex varible as the index number
    getURL(links[currentIndex]);

Flash navigation and html files

I have a Flash navigation banner. The navigation banner
contains seven buttons. Each button when clicked goes to different
frames in the Flash movie. So, the first interaction is to make the
movie to go to a particular frame, which I was able to do easily.
On those frames, I also would like to load or link to HTML page.
Like frame 10 will be page1.htm, frame 18 will be page2.htm so on
and so forth. How do I link .htm files and the single navigation
bar where each button would go to a specific frame and play the
frame? I don’t want to use frames in my html docs. Is there
any other solution? Please help!!
Thank you in advance.
FA

Thank you for reply. I appreciate it. So, if I understand
correctly:
I would embed the navbar.swf in all my html files. Then Each
button would go to each html pages (Like page1.htm page2.htm
etc...) Then I use your code in my html file right? Like each html
file will have the following code:
<param name="movie" value="nav.swf?frame=page2">
Is that how it works. Sorry for not being able to your
answer.
Thank you very much again

Flash navigation and HTML forms

Wondering if any one can help. Whenever I use an html form on
an html page, my flash navigation will not show up. The area where
it should be is blank and my browser status bar says that there are
two items remaining (my flash navs). The browser stays like this
indefinately, not completely loading the page.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks,
Elise

Help in flash (MX 2004) - how to zoom in 'camera'

Hi, first message here, just need some help in Flash MX 2004
I've noticed in some flash movies that the animator has
actually "zoomed in" on the symbols instead of just making the
symbols bigger. I wanted to know if anyone knows how to do this.
I am not an expert animator, so would appreciate any help if
possible.

exactly - the illusion is just that - scaling the objects
larger will provide the illusion you are
zooming - remember the opening sequence of the very 1st star
wars movie (1977)? Those space ships
just after the opening text were stationary - they simply
moved the camera alongside them - when
viewing the film the shaps (in our own minds) appear to move.
Same concept with flash - scale
object(s) on stage - most animators nest entire scenes in
Graphic movie clips and then scale them to
produce camera zooms.

Need help Installing Flash player 10.3 for firefox. It stops at 50%

So I have Windows Vista Basic Home, I tried updating my Flash version in firefox because it was out of date, but everytime it start downloading it , then I get the a message that says "Error " Appliation in use." I uninstalled it and followed all the suggestions on the websites nothing is working. I even uninstall google chrome thinking it was the problem but I'm still having that problem so I really don't know what to do because now the only place Flash player is installed seems to be Google chrome that I had to redoawload, but everywhere else tells me that I need to install it.

I need help installing flash on windows 8

I need help installing flash on windows 8

Chris… No I was using the desktop version, I cannot stand the M version, guess it would be nice if I had a touch screen..…when I finally got my computer to download the Acrobat Standard XI program, not sure how it worked, but I think it had something to do with Windows 8 not allowing itself to update all my apps and programs, even though my computer was set to automatically update any Windows/Microsoft updates…finally I got my Windows updates done, it downloaded like 36 files…and then I had to restart,(which also could have been playing a factor)…so finally got the program downloaded on Windows 8…but then I tried to run the new program and it says install serial #...so I assume that it was asking for the serial # for the Acrobat Standard XI…finally after googling the web, I found somebody that said try your older serial # from the previous program, and when I did this it finally works.. you would think with a brand new Windows computer I would have no problem installing Windows Updates…somebody needs to make a sticky about this, I am sure I am not the only one haiving this problem..
Thanks,
