Help With Buttons to Fade In on Main Main

Hi
I am imported a video file I made is Motion. I need to know how I can make the buttons fade in on the last part of the main menu? it wont let me do so? When make the new buttons it just plays the through the whole thing, cant get the buttons to start a a certain point? Thanks T.

http://dvdstepbystep.com/motion.php shows how to use Motion to make buttons that fade in.
The fade in is done in the video itself, overlays start at loop point
So you need to redo it a bit it sounds like

Help With "Buttons" To Fade In On "Play First Title Menu"

Hi All
Thank you all for your help! I got my video to work finally on a DVD player in SD. I am now trying to have my menu buttons fade in on an imported video file from Motion. I need to find out how I can have the buttons fade in "disolve fade" after my text plays on the opening of my video. The buttons play right away, and I need to delay their entry on the main menu, say 3-5 seconds before the menu movie starts, Any Ideas? Thank You all for your help on here! Tim C.

Set the loop point to the time when the buttons are fully faded in

Help with button that goes back to main timeline from movieclip

I have a movie created that is broken down into sections on the timeline (home about contact etc)
Each section has a movieclip
I want to be able to be in the about movieclip and click a button that will bring you back to the main timeline contact section
Heres is the actionscript I am using to navigate the main timeline for each section
stop();
//handle events for buttons...
index.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
wind.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
turbines.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
services.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
invest.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
contact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
function clickSection(evtObj:MouseEvent){
//go to the section clicked on...
gotoAndStop(evtObj.target.name);

if that code is on the timeline of a movieclip whose parent is the main timeline, use:
MovieClip(parent).gotoAndStop("frame label in main timeline");

Thank you,

Is it a wi-fi or cellular connection that isn't working? If its wi-fi and other people/computers/phones can connect check your settings. If its cellular, are other people's phones (on the same carrier) working in the same location? If other people can't connect then it is likely a network problem. If others can you may need to reset/restore you iPhone.

I need help with XML Gallery Fade in out transition. somebody please help me
I have my post dont want to duplicate it

The problem doesn't lie with your feed, although it does contain an error - you have given a non-existent sub-category. You need to stick to the categories and sub-categories listed here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#categories
Subscribing to your feed from the iTunes Store page work as such, but the episodes throw up an error message. The problem lies with your episode media files: you are trying to stream them. Pasting the URL into a browser produces a download (where it should play the file) of a small file which does not play and in fact is a text file containing (in the case of ep.2) this:
[Reference]
Ref1=http://stream.riverratdoc.com/RiverratDoc/episode2.mp3?MSWMExt=.asf
Ref2=http://70.33.177.247:80/RiverratDoc/episode2.mp3?MSWMExt=.asf
You must provide a direct link to the actual mp3 file. Streaming won't work. The test is that if you paste the URL of the media file (as given in the feed) into the address bar of a browser it should play the file.

Help with button code please?

I am a novice and have just completed my first animated movie. I need help with action script.
The movie is currently looped and I have created and invisible button the size of the frame with the intention that a user can click on the movie image to stop it and on second click continue the movie from where it stopped.
I have used the AS event handler method to stop the movie. I have tested it and it works. But I cannot figure suitable code to restart the movie.
Two questions;
1. am I going about the task the right way? (should I use two buttons, one stop, one start)?
2. if my approach is feasible, can anyone give me the correct AS to re-start the movie and put me out of my misery please?

you can use the following after changing "yourbutton" and "yourmovieclip" to use suitable instance names:
yourbutton.onRelease=function(){
if(!this.toggle){
yourmovieclip.stop();
} else {
yourmovieclip.play();
this.toggle=!this.toggle;

Help with buttons in AS3

Hi Folks,
I'm stuck with a simple flash movie I need to create in which two images fade in and fade out, and each of them must be clickable and hyperlink to a separate URL.
I've got the fading going okay, but I cannot for the life of me get even a single button to work on it.
If it's helpful I can send along what I've got so far. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Andrew.

Hi Ned,
Thank you for the followup email.
I think I was close - I was aware of the changes between AS2 and AS3, but I
think I was putting the Action in the wrong place.
Next question - if I have 2 buttons (say btn1 and btn2), how do I make btn1
available for say frames 1-60, and btn2 available from frames 61-120?
I am primarily a ColdFusion developer, and a complete newbie to flash, so
sorry if this is a dumb question.
Regards,
Andrew.
2009/5/15 Ned Murphy <[email protected]>
In AS3, to make a button work with code, you need to add an event listener
for it. In the timeline that holds that button, in a separate actions layer
that you create, in a frame numbered the same as where that button exists,
you would add the event listener:
>
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1Click);
>
Descriptively, that line of code contains the following:
>
buttonInstanceName . displayObjectMethod (eventClass . eventType,
eventHandlerFunction);
>
The name of the function for processing the clicking of that button was
already defined at the end of the event listener assignment, so now you just
have to write that function out:
>
function btn1Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
   var /String = "http://www.awebsite.com/awebpage.html";
   var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
   navigateToURL(req);

Help with Buttons in Actionscript 2

Help!! I am creating a Flash movie with 5 scenes. I have
buttons for each that I have added actionscript to, but they still
do not work. I am not getting any error messages. I am using
actionscript 2 and have gone step by step. here is what i have :
on (release) {
gotoAndStop("main", 1);
on (release) {
gotoAndStop("blackboard", 1);
etc for the rest of the buttons. Any help would save me much
stress as I am trying to finish a project for school!!! thanks
ah

Try adding _root. before the gotoAndStop command. If you have
the code on the buttons that is.

Help with buttons/actionscript

I've got a movieclip acting as a button. Code on the button itself handles roll-over/-out states, and I define an onRelease function in the main timeline as follows:
backBut.onRelease=function(){
gotoAndPlay(1);
This code takes the movie back to the first frame and works on the third frame. For some reason, though, the same code on the fifth frame has no effect. The button doesn't do anything. I have tried using the same button, I tried inserting a new keyframe with a new button, renaming the button, etc. and for some reason I just can't get it to work on the fifth frame.
If it helps to visualize, I am essentially making a menu. The first frame contains buttons to take you to submenus, located on following slides. This button to go back to the original menu is on each frame with a submenu, but for some reason only works on one of them. Thanks in advance for your help.

Try moving that button in frame 5 to it's own layer. If it's the same llibrary symbol, what happens is the name from the preceding instance gets inherited, along with other characteristics. If frame 4 doesn't do anything, instead of a new layer, just try putting a blank keyframe between the buttons in frames 3 and 5. This may not be the problem at all, but it's my first guess at the possible problem.

Help with buttons accessing loaded layers

Hi all...Using Flash CS3 and AS3 to build a learning module that will load different layers of SWF files based on buttons on the main screen. Got this working with no problems. What I want to do is add buttons to provide learners some functionality, specifically a forward button, back button and a check box that will keep advancing automatically. I've done massive searches and so far nothing seems to work. Seems like what I am acccessing so far is the main layer, not the new layers as they are loaded. Below is what I have been trying with the back button; the foward button uses nextFrame and is Handler2. It isn't working. Not even sure how to start with the checkbox for auto advance. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Mark
back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler1);
function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void
MovieClip(root).prevFrame();

Thank you for your reply. This is what I have so far - the module has four differentSWFs that load depending on what the user selects. The modules are titled Introduction, Standards, Elements, and Traits. When clicked, the button loads that specfic SWF and the previous one is unloaded. Hope I am using the correct terminology - I'm more familiar with AS2 than 3!

Need help with button and motion tween...

I'm trying to create a simple game. Right now I have one button that when clicked moves the character across the screen. My issue is trying to make the player stop looping after I click the button. If I just insert stop for the last frame it will only loop once and stop, but it will not play again after the button is clicked. I've tried using players_turn boolean but couldn't get that to work. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
[AS]
package
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
    import flash.ui.Keyboard;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.ui.Mouse;
    public class Main extends MovieClip
        //Player variables
        var players_turn:Boolean = true;
        //Enemy variables
        public function Main()
            //Add event listeners
            buttonAttack.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onButtonAttackClick);
        //Event handlers
        function onButtonAttackClick(event:MouseEvent):void
            if (players_turn == true)
                //Player attacks enemy
                player.gotoAndStop(2);
                trace("attack");
                trace(players_turn);
        //trace(players_turn);
        /*if (players_turn == false)
            player.stop();
            players_turn = true;
[/AS]

player is a symbol that is classic tweened. It has to frames. The first is a still frame with a stop action. The second has been converted as a symbol to show the player move across the screen and back.   When the attack button is clicked the player moves across the screen and back but it keeps on looping. If I add a stop action to the last frame it will move and comeback and stop but it will not move anymore when the button is clicked again.

Help with buttons in photo gallery

Hello all
I am trying to find a more effeicent way to place buttons on each of my pages (Photo Gallery SIte). I have 150 pages and constantly have to link each button to the "next" or "last" button. Is there a more efficent way to for me to ad butons to each page.My site is Blazinginterest.com
Please give me some feedback on my site, possibly add a picture viewer?
Thank you, HD

what code do you already have? Maybe we can help you modify
it where it's not working.
Also, how do you have it currently laid out? eg. do you have
several images on the screen, but some method to scroll through
other images? Have you done a search here or on director-online.com
(in the forum or articles section) on similar questions? Do you
have something written up to describe what features you need such
as a design document?
Just trying to get a sense of your level of programming in
general, experience with Director and what planning/details you
have worked out so far because there are so many different ways to
program a gallery.

Need help with buttons in applet

stupid question maybe but i'm a beginner, and hey..there are no stupid questions, right? well, i may prove that wrong...anyway...
I can't relocate a button, or any other component for that matter. When I try to make a simple applet with just one button showing, then it works perfect...but when I make the applet a little bigger with some graphcis and text, the setLocation() and setSize() methods don't work. the wierd part is that I don't get an error message, the compiler just ignores those lines...so it seems anyway.
If anyone can help me I'd be very greatful
thanx a lot

Do you know there are 5 layout managers in java. It is probably worth looking through each one and the commands they use.
The layout is determined by two things:
1.position Components are added
2.Layout manager used
Ive never had to use setLocation() and setSize() as the layouts do it for you:
1.Flowlayout: which is the default pane. e.g.
setLayout(new Flowlayout()).
2.GridLayout: postions panels into rows and columns
b.GridBagLayout
3.Borderlayout(NORTH,SOUTH,EAST,WEST and CENTER) postions in applet.
4.CardLayout(a bit like a slideshow)
5.Insets() which is used to determine top,bottom,left and right.
Don't bother about 4 or 5 yet. But definitly have a look at the other 3.
e.g. setLayout(new BorderLayout());
add("North", new Button("ok"));
add("CENTER", new Button("Exit");
etc..

Need help with buttons in a phone simulation

Hello
I have built a telephone interface to be used for training in a Call Center.
I am attempting to allow the user to press on the numberpad to enter passwords and such.
It is only a simulation and will only work if the user presses the correct buttons.
I am able to create the simulation when the user presses different buttons such as 1234
but I need them to press 0000 (zero 4 times)
I am not sure how to do this...
I have been playing around with the advanced actions, which has allowed me to accomplish the hide and show actions when the user clicks a button, but wondering if there is a way I can
have them click the 0 on the dialpad so each time it brings up the next zero
once its gets to the 4th one, it will advance to the next slide...
Hope that makes sense
I appreciate any help or advice
thanks
Melissa

Hi there,
What I did, I took a variable 'counter123' and assign '0' value to this variable.
I then added a button with Advanced action, I am sharing the Screenshot of the advanced action panel.
Screen shot 1 :
Incrementing the Value on click :
The value of the variable should increase on every click, so lets add a true statement as a condition.
Screenshot no 2 :
As normally on buttons/click boxes, the project will continue as soon we click them.
lets compare the value of our variable and then pause the project.
Screen shot 3 :
last if our purpose is solved, here we have clicked the button 4 times, so that has updated the value of our counter to 4, so as soon as the counter exceeds the value, we want the project to continue.
please let me know if this helps you.
This will help you in pressing a button 4 times, and i think you can also add actions to show and hide 'zeros' in your project.
I find such scenarios very interesting and I always find help on Lilybiri's Blog : http://lilybiri.posterous.com/
Thanks
