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

The fade in is done in the video itself, overlays start at loop point

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 buttons :S

hi all,
i'm new to flash but i have an idea whats going on with webpages. I need some help with buttons! i have a website and its has a stage and 9 different flv's (screens). I've been trying to read online and i can't find out how to navigate to different screens, example below
home          |            |
about us     | stage   |
contact       |            |
you click one one button it updates the stage. also i'm using actionscript 2.0.
thanks for any help ahead of time
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.

Need help with buttons and fading clips

howdy,
I have 3 buttons on a stage that play 3 different movies.
While no button is pressed, there is a looping video on the stage
playing. When a button is pressed, that looping movie needs to fade
out and fade in the movie that button calls for. I have attached
script but it isn't working at all. Not sure where to go from here.
thanks for your help.

Hello again,
Now I'm completely lost. Where should I add that code in your
last post?
thanks.

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;

NEED HELP WITH BUTTONS IN AS3!!

Hello, I am stumped with an action scripting problem. I'm
trying to create a really basic website in flash using buttons to
jump from scene to scene. Let's say I want to do something as
simple as make scene 1 jump to scene two right? I'll place in my
scene 2 button on my first page:
But instead of the scene changing to the next scene after I
press the button, these errors come up!!
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method on.
1120: Access of undefined property release.
1120: Access of undefined property _root.
I've tried asking in so many different forums, I usually do
pretty good with action scripting for buttons. But this is my first
time doing it with cs3. I'm utterly confused, someone please help!!
Thank you.
The code on this page is the code I was using to try to
change scenes...Oh! and whenever I try to put a code in the actual
button, it won't let me. I just get a message that says something
like "Can't have any actions applied to it".

You're using three terms that aren't supported in
ActionScript 3.0: the
on() function, the release parameter to that function, and
_root. In
ActionScript 3.0, you'll have to give your button an instance
name and wire
it up like this:
http://www.quip.net/blog/2007/flash/making-buttons-work-in-flash-cs3
In that blog entry, you'll see (with explanation) something
that looks
like this:
myButton.addEventListener(
MouseEvent.CLICK,
function(evt:MouseEvent):void {
trace("I've been clicked!");
Just bear in mind that you can also make that a named
function, like
this:
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
function clickHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
trace("I've been clicked!");

Your issue isn't Flash CS3, it's that your FLA file is
configured for
ActionScript 3.0. If you change that to AS2, you can go right
on using the
same approach you used to -- and you'll be able to attach
code directly to
objects. ;)

Help with buttons and timing

I have four buttons, each with an advanced action. Only the first one works. I know it's related to the button timing, but I can't figure out how to fix it.

Let's try some troubleshooting 101. Remove the complexity to isolate the issue.
Try setting each button just to have a Continue action again and test. This will show whether the problem is with the buttons or with the Advanced Actions you've assigned to them.
If the buttons work fine with Continue actions, try dragging your first button off the stage area into the scrap area and then test the slide again. If the button that is first in line NOW works, but others don't, then I would look at these advanced actions carefully because there may be something in the logic that is fouling things up.
For example, standard actions do not release the playhead unless you also add an extra Continue action line, whereas Conditional Actions do not require this same Continue action.

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

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 within buttons

I am trying to get stop and play buttons for the background
music of my site to work within an animated rollover state of a
separate button. When I put the stop and play buttons into the
rollover animation they effect the hit state of the button they are
inside, how do I get around this? If you look at
www.thepixelplaypen.com/site you will see the menu bar at the
bottom. If you click on the references button (the 3d thought
bubble) i have directed it to how I want the page to look and work
when the music bar is 'rolled over'.

I've look at the site but am not sure what you mean. 1st I
don't know what the music bar is. Are you talking about the menu
bar when it's blank and minimized? Because when I go over that it
jumps from expanding to its full form to back to its minimized
state over and over.
I think what you need is something a little more involved
than the over/out states buttons give you.
I would say a two state movie clip with a variable that flags
on and off for the menu. Have the "toggle" turn off when moved out
from the menu, but not when over the music switch. For example, a 2
second delay that tests for the toggle being off, and the music
button turns it on on over...
Hope that helps...

I need help with button coding to go to the next scene

Hi! I have been using flash cs5 for a few years now and I've never been great with coding since i usually just do swf animations. However I am in the process of writing a story/book and I wanted to make a little guide for all of the dragons species in the story.
Example: I had it so there is a title screen and a start button, you click the start button and you are taken to the next scene; which is a picture of a mist dragon I drew and then audio plays; describing mist dragons. in the corner there is a "next" button and when you click it, it takes you to the next species and the audio plays just like with the mist dragon.
my major problem is my code is muffed up( I know it is totally incomplete, but this code is what I am comfortable working with, anybody know whaat the full code is?). I typed in what I could remember from class... could anybody help me?
here is the code i remembered:
Stop();
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK…
function btn1Listener(e:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(1, "mist dragon");

use:
Stop();
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btn1Listener);
function btn1Listener(e:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(1, "mist dragon"); //<- you may want gotoAndPlay(1,"mist dragon")

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!

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 button actions

Hi all,
The last Flash version that I am use to, is 5.5 which was extremely easy to use. I have used CS3 a little, but now I have CS4. You use to be able to set the action right in the button, then just copy the button. Now it's totaly different. I have watched some tutorials in Adobe TV, but find that my property windows do not look like theirs, which is very confusing.
Can any one point me to some URLs that show me basic buttons tutorials, such as: on release goto and play scene 1 frame 10, etc.
Thank yoou
HDsuperglide

you can use as1 if you want. cs3, cs4 and cs5 are all backwards compatible with the coding style you've used in the past.

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.
