Help with flash buttons please

hi i wondered if anyone could take a look at this for me
please?
http://beechhouse.yorkwebsites.co.uk
why is it in explorer you have to click the button to
activate it and then click it again to go to the page? and how can
i fix this please?

It's IE-only behaviour as a result of changes Microsoft made
earlier this
year to their browser, regarding how Active Content (Flash,
Quicktime etc)
is handled, after losing a high profile court case.

If you're running Dreamweaver 8.0.2, the fix is already built

Help with flash buttons actionscript 2.0

Help please, I am not sure what I am doing wrong here. Each button has this script
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.mysite.com/index.html");
Once they work I want to import them to dreamweaver.

Do you happen to have any kind of rollover code tied to anything that is containing the buttons? I don't see the sense in having Flash buttons unless you have some form of animation associated with them, possibly triggered by rollover interactions. If so, the rollover may be blocking access to the on(release) interaction.

Help with nav buttons please

Hey there, i've recently been following a tutorial and I have come across a problem with the AS for the nav buttons, http://www.flash-game-design.com/flash-tutorials/basic-flash-website-tutorial-6.html, the tutorial says to write:
btnabout.onRelease = function(){
    content.gotoAndStop("about")
btnport.onRelease = function(){
    content.gotoAndPlay("port")
btncont.onRelease = function(){
    content.gotoAndStop("contact")
I have done this and it came with an error saying needs to be in handler, so i re-entered this:
btnabout.on(release) = function(){
    content.gotoAndStop("about")
btnport.on(release) = function(){
    content.gotoAndPlay("port")
btncont.on(release) = function(){
    content.gotoAndStop("contact")
This code then came back with a Expected a field name after '.' operator. btnabout.on(release) = function(){ can anyone please help me i'm starting to pull hairs out?!
Thanks
P.S it must be AS 2.0 as that is what my portfolio page uses.

The problem with the first attempt was not the code, but where you placed it. That code needs to be placed on the timelinein the same frame as where the buttons are (preferably in a separate 'actions' layer). This approach is the better approach than trying to place the code on the objects because it keeps all code in a single easy to find location... the timeline.
For the second attempt, assuming you were still trying to attach the code to the buttons, you should change the code to....
on(release) {
    content.gotoAndStop("about")
on(release){
    content.gotoAndPlay("port")
on(release){
    content.gotoAndStop("contact")
but.... each of those needs to be attached to the button associated with it and not grouped together. This is an older style of coding that is best avoided due to ending up with code hiding on objects.

Help with flash CS4 please!

Hello, I am in school and I have an assignment to complete on flash, but when I try to make an object, an annoying little box appears around my object instead of having nothing around it, I passed this off as nothing and tried to use the selection tool, but then it didnt go all checkered like it should and instead that box came back. Ignored it again, I tried using the bone tool, but it only is working on one shape and it will not go to others to link them! This is what the box on the object looks like and it is really frustrating me. Please help!

You have the 'object drawing' tool selected. On your tool bar near the bottom there is a button that is just a circle (hover over it and it will say 'object drawing' (it is below your paintbucket colour palet and above the fill lock button. Providing yours looks like mine! just click on this and it will toggle object drawing on and off. you can break apart objects you have already drawn as objects by selecting the shape and pressing 'cmd' + 'B' (ctrl + b on a pc)

Help With Flash Buttons

Dear Readers
I am puzzled! lol. I was looking at the Radio 1 homepage
today (www.bbc.co.uk/radio1)
Click Here for Link
On the homepage there is a Flash menu with a series of
buttons titled "300 exclusive" and "Groove-y Mix" etc etc.
These buttons finish their loop cycle even though the
mous-out event has occurred.
Does anyone know hoe to make such buttons? If so it would be
greatly helpful.
Well...I hope I haven't lost too many people.
Yours Sincerely
www.skytemedia.com
Send Me An E-Mail

OK.... make a movie clip. Call it Button or something.
drag it onto your main movie. Select it and add this action:
on (rollOver) {
this.gotoAndPlay("up");
on (rollOut) {
this.gotoAndPlay("down");
on (release) {
getURL("website.html", "_self");
Now, double-click on the movie clip to open it.
Make three layers ("shape", "actions" and "labels" )
Draw a colored box on the "shape" layer (this will be your
button)
on frame 1 put a Stop action on the "actions" layer
on frame 5 put a Frame Label called "up" (no quotation marks)
on the "labels" layer
on Frame 15 put a Stop Action on the "actions" layer
on frame 20 put a Frame Label called "down" on the "labels"
layer
on frame 30 put a Stop action on the "actions" layer
Now select your "shape" layer, click on frame 5 and hit F6,
click on frame 15 and hit F6, click on frame 20 and hit F6, click
on frame 30 and hit F6.
OK...now you need to make some sort of animation happen with
your boxes. From frame 5 to frame 15. and the reverse, from frame
20 to frame 30.
So when the user rolls over the movie clip (that you called
"button"), THIS (the movie clip) will gotoAndPlay the frame called
"up"
and then it will stop playing at Frame 15 where you put a
Stop Action. When the cursor rolls off, THIS will gotoAndPlay
"down" ...
get it? If you don't understand what Frame Labels and Actions
are, then you first need to do the Flash Tutorial.

I could use some help w/ Flash Buttons please...

I am creating my site in Flash... All is well. Buttons work fine. Then all the sudden buttons do not work when created inside a movie clip. If I choose to enable simple buttons, they work fine when I am within the clip but when I go back to Scene they no longer work as well as when I preview? They are there, set up right, just do not work when out side of clip... The buttons I have for main page still work fine...
Thanks so much!
I am going crazy!!!!
Jayson

The code I used for the common library buttons is:
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextImage);
//variable is a container that holds some value...
var imageNumber:Number=1;
function checkNumber():void {
    next_btn.visible=true;
    back_btn.visible=true;
    //If the number is = 77, then do something...
    if (imageNumber==70) {
    next_btn.visible=false;
//if the imageNumber is = 1, then don't show back button
if (imageNumber==1) {
    trace(imageNumber);
    back_btn.visible=false;
checkNumber();
function nextImage(evtObj:MouseEvent):void {
    //Adding to the current value +1
    imageNumber++;
    oeightloader.source = "2008images/oeight"+imageNumber+".jpg";
    checkNumber();
back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, backImage);
function backImage(evtObj:MouseEvent):void {
    //Subtract 1 from the current value
    imageNumber--;
    oeightloader.source="2008images/oeight"+imageNumber+".jpg";

Need help using flash buttons

Can anyone help me with flash buttons? I am trying to build
my first website, and my five flash buttons (inside a 5 col. table)
for page navigation work fine in testing all 5 web pages with
mozilla firefox, and they look the same on the index page when
testing with IE-7. However when I begin navigating to other pages
in IE-7, the flash buttons disappear, and the 5 cols in the table
where each flash button was placed now are not equal sizes anymore
like they are on the index page. In my files area on the right, I
notice 3 out of the five buttons I created have about 15 to 20
"generations" shown there, with numbers 1 through 15 or even more
to qualify them tacked on to the end of the names. Where do these
come from, and why are 2 out of the five only have 1 "generation"
each? I never expected this, and I think it has something to do
with the problem, but maybe not. Please help me if you can!

If you want to use Flash for navigation, consider this -
1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
2. Search engines don't parse Flash links - your site will
not be spidered
3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what
will those users
do?
4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you
move or rename
a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do?
It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons...
Your problem is caused by navigating away from the previewed
page. In
general, this is not a good thing to do, since root relative
links will not
work as expected when you do that (locally).

In the dialog box for the Flash Button, in the link box, put
the full
absolute path if an external page. Including the
http:// part.
http://www.example.com/page.html
for pages inside your site- use the browse to file icon, and
use a relative
path.

Help with linking buttons to Scenes

Hey,
Rookie to Flash and AS3. Just needed some help with my buttons. Im making a flash program about pancakes (random I know). I have a "Mainmenu" scene and then a "Recipe" scene. I have a button on my mainmenu which takes me to the recipe page when I click it, the code behind the button is
"stop();btn_recipe.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(1, "Recipe");
Then when I arrive at my recipe page I have a button which will take me back to my MainMenu, the code behind that button is:
"stop();btn_home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouse5DownHandler);function mouse5DownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(1, "MainMenu");
So I run my program and the first button works and takes me to recipe page but the button to get to the main menu does nothing, click it and no response or anything
Please help

First, hopefully having all your code mushed onto the same line is a copy/paste error, otherwise it should look like...
stop();
btn_recipe.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
     gotoAndStop(1, "Recipe");
If the intention is to click the buttons to make them work, then you should use CLICK instead of MOUSE_DOWN. MOUSE_DOWN can be a persistent state whereas CLICK involves releasing it afterwards.
As for the code to get you back home, where is it located on the timeline? Are you getting any error messages when you try to use it?
One thing you should learn to use is the trace() function. It is useful for troubleshooting. You can use it now to see if your second button is talking to the function at all...
stop();
btn_home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mouse5DownHandler);
function mouse5DownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
     trace("the button works okay");
     gotoAndPlay(1, "MainMenu");
If you don't get that message in the output panel, you'll know the button is not properly coded to work.
Most folks here will recommend you get away from using scenes in a design that includes navigation--they have a history of being problematic. Instead of using scenes, divide the one main timeline up into sections or use movieclips for the sections and manage their visibility... or do a bit of both.

UWL - Help with Decision Buttons

Hello SDNers,
I'm customizing the UWL iView to show approval itens only, and their respective decision buttons.
Everything looks ok, but when someone try to submit the decisions it shows the message:
"reject wasn't correct"
Where "reject" is the name I gave to the action.
It also happens with the approval action.
Below is the XML I've created.
Does someone have a clue in what that message means, or what I've done wrong?
Thanks in advance!!

Hi There,
Make sure that your decisionKeys are correct. I have seen issues with this many times. Log on to the backend system and call SAP_WAPI_DECISION_READ or SWK_DECISION READ for a specific workitem (You can get the details of the workitem id from the support information on the UWL - enable this and you can check this specific workitem) The decision key is an internal value (typically a numeric value) corresponding to the selected decision used by the provider.
You will need to ensure that you have x amount of decisions configured in the xml file, where x = the amount of decisions configured in the backend system.
For additional help with this topic please see the userDecision Action Handler documentation:

you can't use the button itself if you want to maintain the
DOWN state after
release as button automatically resets itself once the mouse
lives the HIT zone.
Use movie clip instead and on press simply send it to a frame
where there
is DOWN state like image.

Help with access control please

So I'm trying to set up my brother's PSP to the wirless network through MAC address timed access. What I want to do is make it so that he can only access it through certain times in the day. I'm having troubles with actually getting it to work. Everytime I set it up, the PSP only show's up as a DHCP client and not a Wireless client. I tried the option panel with the add wireless clients through the first try access. Could I get some help with this issue please? Thanks!

Just to calm your fears... There is no conspiracy. If someone had an answer or a suggestion they would post it.

bufferClip._visible = false;
if(info.code == "NetStream.Buffer.Empty"){
bufferClip._visible = true;
if (info.code == "NetStream.Stop") {
bufferClip._visible = false;
theVideo.attachVideo (ns);
ns.play("my_clip.flv");
rewindButton.onRelease= function(){
ns.seek(0);
