Movieclip button AS 2.0 help

I have a movieclip button with up-over and out states
plays fine but in the over state I need to have two more buttons
1 button for each icon
I need to make the hit state in one area with room for two I would guess invisible hit state only buttonds on top of the icons?
how do I get two separate working buttons in there?
any help?

OK, after looking around I see what I need to do is have Nested Movieclips in a drop down menu.
The drop down menu I made is here
http://www.mediafire.com/?lynnkzjhkjt
I think I may have been unclear in what I need to do but when you open the fla you see that the movieclip in the over state needs to have two separate buttons (or movieclips) acting as buttons so I can go to another frame. the mc/buttons shpuld have the hit states or target the two icons.
I have tried everything as I did see some things for AS 3.0 but not for 2.0
anybody?

Linking a MovieClip button to a URL?

Hello all,
I have recently followed a Adobe Flash tutorial, which has helped me make MovieClip buttons which extend to the left when hovered over.
This tutorial can be found here:
http://www.schoolofflash.com/2008/05/flash-cs3-tutorial-movie-clip-buttons/
An example and download link for the project is at the bottom of that page.
Everything on the tutorial went fine, but now I am trying to work out how to make these MovieClip buttons link to another URL.
What code do I need to do this, and where do I need to put it?
Any help is appriciated, I am using Flash version CS5.5
Thanks,
Vanilla

Below is the Code to load an url
btn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onButtonClick);
function onButtonClick(e:MouseEvent):void{
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.foundation-flash.com/");
navigateToURL(request);

MovieClip buttons using e.target method "Under" transparent hit states?

Hello guys, this is kind of the finale to a line of questions I have been pestering with for about a week. I have multiple buttons that scale up / scale down on rollover (mc btns actually). So, after a lot of help from all of you, I have everything functioning really well.
My remaining hang up, is how to apply e.target (to abridge my code somewhat) when the movieclip button is now actually below the transparent hit states. (hit states are on the main timeline, buttons under them). Below is some sample code for two of these buttons, and like i said – they work fine, but now that I am trying to use external hit states to get rid of my bugginess, i notice the e.target functions are not being read, since I assume the button is under the hit states.
the //berenson// below is the code that is speakin to the hit state and the //amylin// still has the previous coding applied to it (when the hit states were not being used quite yet.
function rollover (e:Event){
    e.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay ("btnOver");
function rollout (e:Event){
    e.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay ("btnOut");
function select (e:Event){
    e.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay ("btnClick");
//amylin//
btn_amyCase.buttonMode = true
btn_amyCase.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, rollover);
btn_amyCase.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, rollout);
btn_amyCase.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, select);
//berenson//
btn_berHit.buttonMode = true
btn_berHit.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, rollover);
btn_berHit.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, rollout);
btn_berHit.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, select);
thanks!

yup, i was hoping that. However, my buttons were working flawlessly, then i applied the hit state layer, and i am losing the communication.
But you are saying, that if the buttons work on their own, hit states with the same code applied to them (that was on the buttons) with some tweaks of course, should still function using target?
so, to sum up: i have mc buttons, and am trying to access "their" timelines. I added the hit state layer (on the main timeline) and made their mouseEvents = the button effects, but my functionality went away.

My iphone 4s will not allow me to open any apps that I have downloaded. I have tried a few things but still will not allow me to open. Shows they are open once pushing the home button twice. Please help!

Pressing the Home button twice does not show you what apps are running. It shows you what apps were recently used.
Download a free app from the App Store. Once it downloads, your other apps should work properly again.

MovieClip buttons inside a MovieClip button inside another MovieClip button

I am trying to make a Portfolio of my study abroad experience and can get something right about the movie clip buttons inside each other. I have a button to click on titled "travel" and a window shows up with more movieclip buttons to organize different locations of pictures. I can click on the button to have to slide of pictures but nothing happens. I have the "turnOffAllButtons" coding and also have the coding for stay clicked, but I can't get the 3rd set to show up. what am i not doing?
I don't have any errors or output comments showing up

I have it working now. what I did, I make a slideshow setup (gotoAndStop(1);) in a specific frame and the code I put in for the next, didnt work.
this is was I have now, without the "turnOffAllButtons" coding:
Main Button (actions Layer):
stop();
travelButton_mc.buttonMode=true;
travelButton_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, colorizetravelButton);
function colorizetravelButton(givenEvent:MouseEvent){
if (givenEvent.currentTarget.currentFrame != 50)
travelButton_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
travelButton_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, decolorizetravelButton);
function decolorizetravelButton(givenEvent:MouseEvent){
if (givenEvent.currentTarget.currentFrame != 50)
travelButton_mc.gotoAndPlay(21);
travelButton_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadtravelLocations);
function loadtravelLocations(givenEvent:MouseEvent){
travelButton_mc.gotoAndStop(50);
travelLocations_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
Inside the travelLocations_mc I have currently one button to show a slide of pictures, this is the second layer of buttoncode:
stop();
scotlandButton_mc.buttonMode=true;
scotlandButton_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, colorizescotlandButton);
function colorizescotlandButton(givenEvent:MouseEvent){
if (givenEvent.currentTarget.currentFrame != 50)
scotlandButton_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
scotlandButton_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, decolorizescotlandButton);
function decolorizescotlandButton(givenEvent:MouseEvent){
if (givenEvent.currentTarget.currentFrame != 50)
scotlandButton_mc.gotoAndPlay(21);
scotlandButton_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadscotlandInfoPage);
function loadscotlandInfoPage(givenEvent:MouseEvent){
scotlandButton_mc.gotoAndStop(50);
scotlandInfoPage_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
I turned the alpha up so you can see the mc that loads
I currently have a keyframe at 60 with a code of stop(); so the travelLocations_mc will still
does this make sense?

Try resetting your phone, hold the home and sleep/wake button down until the apple symbol comes up, then release. If that doesnt work, you may have damaged your phone and need to take it to an apple genius bar.

Changing stage timeline from inside a movieclip button

I create a movieclip button, and I want to change main timeline from it. what should I do ?
Is it useful to use MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay(...) ; ?
Is there any other way to change main timeline?

Example:
Add something to trigger the event in the child:
dispatchEvent(new Event("eventTriggered"));
In your parent swf, listen for the event using a listener for the child with a corresponding event handler...
childName.addEventListener("eventTriggered", eventHandler).
function eventHandler(event:Event):void {
trace("child dispatched an event");
// gotoAndPlay(etc);

Converting AS3 to AS2. Some movieclip buttons not working.

25 movieclip buttons in frame 126 maintimeline. Buttons are on top layer above all other content.
Buttons 1_1, 2_1, 3_1, 4_1, and 5_1 work. All buttons have correct instance name. The buttons are in a 5x5 grid. Hence the naming convention of column_row. So all row 1 buttons are working. Do not get hand cursor over any of the other buttons. This is totally baffling. I am using Flash CS4. The file is saved as CS3 and the publish settings are AS2, Flash player 8.
Here is the AS for frame 126.
stop();
trace("tScore = "+tScore);
trace("i = "+i);

You can probably reduce all that interaction code to a loop...
for(i=1; i<6; i++){
   for(k=1; k<6; k++){
      this["videoBtn"+i+"_"+k].onRelease = function() {
          gotoAndStop(127);
          this.play();
As for why movng the buttons to another layer fixed anything, it will not have mattered. Whatever fixed the problem will remain a mystery. It could have been an issue with instance names/frames since you are at frame 126 for some reason. If you transition the buttons into place, that might be related to what the problem was.

Lower volume button control not working help?

If you only restored from backup, restore to factory defaults/new iPod. If you then still have the problem it is likely a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

By "sending" do you mean sending email?
If so, what app are you using to take the photos on your iPhone 5? Or are the photos from a different source (saved to your Camera Roll from somewhere else, like a web page or Messages)?
My guess is that Mail gives you the option to send different file sizes when it detects you are trying to Mail a really large photo file. The size of photos on the iPhone 5 is really big and some email providers may stop your mail from being delivered if attachments are too large. Thus, Mail tries to help you by offering to resize the photo.
I suspect that if you are sending smaller files, Mail does not bother giving you options to save a smaller version. In fact, I have seen this behavior. So, if the photo is already "small enough", it gets sent as-is.
To my knowledge, there is no global iOS setting for this. Some apps may have different rules, of course.

How do i unfreeze my ipod when ive already tried the menu and select button and that didnt help?

how do i unfreeze my ipod when ive already tried the menu and select button and that didnt help?

How long did you press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together? Have you tried doing this procedure more than once? Is the hold switch in the Off position?
If nothing else, let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up again.
