MovieClip button changes original

I have searched around but can't find the exact solution to
my problem....so here it is.
I have a Movie Clip button in my library and I drag multiple
copies onto the stage. I start to change the text and other
attributes of the different instances. Whenever I do this the
changes happen to all. I am not sure why this is. It is probably
something I should know.
I didn't create these library items so I am not sure what the
original developer did. None of the library items I create do this.
I can add as many of mine as i want and change text for each
instance.
This has to be something simple.
Thanks for any help
-Ken

In the library, right click on the movie clip and select
duplicate and give
the new movie clip a different. It is the new movie clip that
you want to
change. When you are finished, place an instance of the new
clip on the
stage and give it an instance name.
The changes you made before worked exactly as they should but
it was the
wrong approach for your purposes.

When user enters and exits one movieclip, button changes color

Hello,
I currently have a slideshow-style navigation site. There are five buttons on the bottom and when the user clicks each button, it triggers a nested movieclip to play. I would like the button to be highlighted when the corresponding movieclip is playing, but when they click another button and another movieclip plays, I want the button to go back to its original color.
The problem is that the movieclips that are playing are nested two levels down and the buttons have to be on the main timeline. I think I might need an event listener to see if a certain nested movieclip is playing, to know to change the button color. It seems to easy but I can't figure it out, thanks for any help!

Hi again! Sorry, I keep changing my mind on whether I've figured this out or not. Now I need the buttons to become disabled when they are highlighted and active. I tried putting a: btns[i].enabled = false; in the else part of the for-else statement and it didn't work. Where would I put that kind of code? Thanks!
stop();
//attach sounds
Sound1 = new Sound();
Sound1.attachSound("Sound1");
Sound2 = new Sound();
Sound2.attachSound("Sound2");
Sound3 = new Sound();
Sound3.attachSound("Sound3");
//buttons
//nav buttons
b1.onRelease = function() {
 gotoAndStop(1);
 stopAllSounds()
 activeBtn(b1);
b2.onRelease = function() {
 gotoAndStop(2);
 stopAllSounds();
 activeBtn(b2);
b3.onRelease = function() {
 gotoAndStop(3);
 stopAllSounds();
 activeBtn(b3);
//array for highlighted button state
var btns:Array = [b1, b2, b3];
function activeBtn(mc:MovieClip):Void{
 for(var i:Number=0; i<btns.length; i++){
 if(btns[i]!=mc){
 btns[i].gotoAndStop("inactive");
 }else{
 btns[i].gotoAndStop("active");

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);

Play Button Changes Color To Red, Can I Change It?

In the Sliding Planes theme, when I preview, the Play button (originally dark blue) turns red. It has to be something set in the theme since other themes have a change in color of the Play button as well (sometimes to yellow and other colors). Is this changeable? I would rather the color not change and stay dark blue. Thanks a lot!

Ok, I think you answered my question. I just want to make sure you know that it's not the highlighting persay that I'm talking about, it's just the fact that the button changes and stays to red, it's not that it only gets red when you're selecting it but that once the menu starts and the text flies in and the drop zones are in motion the top writting and everything is the color I want but the Play button turns red automatically before I select it or anything. But I think you answered my question in that the theme I selected requires the Play button to turn red automatically to distinguish it from other buttons. I wouldn't mind it turning red when I would press enter or something to play, like for a second to change color to know that I cliked it, but what bothers me is that it's red the whole time which off sets the color scheme that I'm trying to make on the menu. Thanks again

Button changes style when connected to Application Manager

I've connected the standard axButtons to the application manager in a custom OI built in CSharp using Visual Studio 2008. When I run the OI, the buttons change from the standard style (rounded edges, etc.) to what looks like a classic style (squared edges, no color gradient, etc.). At first I thought this might be a limitation of CSharp, but when I ran the executable CSharp UI (shipped with Teststand), the buttons look correct. Is there a reference that I've not added or something? I've followed (pretty much copied) the code found in the full-featured CSharp UI, leaving out functions that I didn't need.
Below is the only real code involving the two buttons. It's pretty simple so I imagined it's a project property that I've setup incorrectly. I've also included the namespaces I included.
Thanks for any help
using NationalInstruments.TestStand.Interop.API;using NationalInstruments.TestStand.Interop.UI;using NationalInstruments.TestStand.Interop.UI.Support;using NationalInstruments.TestStand.Utility;
// Connect Sequence Controls this.axSequenceFileViewMgr1.ConnectCommand(this.axEntryPoint1Button, CommandKinds.CommandKind_ExecutionEntryPoints_Set, 0, CommandConnectionOptions.CommandConnection_NoOptions); this.axSequenceFileViewMgr1.ConnectCommand(this.axEntryPoint2Button, CommandKinds.CommandKind_ExecutionEntryPoints_Set, 1, CommandConnectionOptions.CommandConnection_NoOptions);
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Scott, once again, thanks for your help. I've tried several things relating to this manifest file, all to no avail. First, I tried pasting the lines you mention into the <program>.vshost.exe.manifest file (the vshost file was the only manifest file that I could find, is this the correct one?)--no change. In the "Application" tab on the project properties, I can select create w/o manifest or embed manifest. I tried both, but from this point the original manifest file was deleted during the build process and did not show up anymore.
The project includes the windows common buttons as well as the teststand .NET controls. I assume this would accomplish the lines you mentioned, but I am a .NET newbie so I could be wrong there.
I've attached a 2008 C# Express project which includes no code, only a windows common button and a teststand button on a form. When I run this program, I see the same behavior. Can you take a look at this, and let me know if you see the same behavior?
Thanks,
Shawn

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?

Email Submit Button - Change Text/Confirm submission

I have an Email Submit Button on my survey, which I am 'distributing'. I would like for it to do 2 things once you click on the "Email Submit Button":
1) Text of the button changes once it been clicked on in order to show that the survey was submitted. Right now, all I can figure is how to have the text change when you roll over the box or for the secnod you click on the box-- i want the caption to change once its been clicked.
2) a text box appears below that can act as a "thank you for submitting your survey...".
any help and advice is much appreciated!

Thanks for the response Paul. I feel like i'm very close, but I'm still not there... I'm not sure where to enter this javascript you sent me. The only script I know to find is the XML Source ...if that's the right place, where do I enter your code?

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?

Can i make a button change anchor link when you scroll down the site?

I am trying to make a scroll site.. and i have navigation buttons on the right, a full menu, but also a "1 topic up" button and "1 topic down" button.
Is there any way that i can have those buttons change anchor link when you scroll down the site.
Example:
I am at home, then i press "1 topic down" and gets scrolled to the next topic on the website, but then i cant make the button change to link to the anchor below that, so the button becomes useless after that 1 press.
Is that in any way possible in Muse to make it change link?

Hi
You can try to create different buttons on page positions where down scrolling will be active with separate button actions. For example you click on "I topic down" , page scrolls and there is another button placed with "Next Topic down" , on click this would scroll the page more and similarly along the length of page.
Button with anchor link scrolling down the page cannot be used for different anchor links, creating different buttons with anchors is the solution.
Thanks,
Sanjit

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);

How to change original source system of objects at one time

Hi, experts !
I installed extra devlopment server using system copy of orignal
delveopment system.
We have planed that new objects applied to orginal server after developing
finished on extra devlopement server.
The problem is we can not modify or add old objects for specific
package because orignal source system is different
and I know this is SAP policy.
Of course original source server can be changeed on t-code SE03 or
function module TRINT_TADIR_MODIFY
but it should be applied to every objects. This is big job to BC admin.
Is there any solution to possible it at one time?
Best Regards

You can transport all relevant packages from the old to the new development box including a change of the original system using a special transport request of type "relocation of complete package". Check with your system administrators.

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);
if (i == 0) {
 i++;
this.podium.signin.unloadMovie();
videoBtn1_1.onRelease = function() {
 gotoAndStop(127);
 videoBtn1_1.play();
videoBtn2_1.onRelease = function() {
 gotoAndStop(127);

 gotoAndStop(127);
 videoBtn4_1.play();
videoBtn5_1.onRelease = function() {
 gotoAndStop(127);
 videoBtn5_1.play();
this.videoBtn1_2.onRelease = function() {
 gotoAndStop(127);

 gotoAndStop(127);
 videoBtn2_2.play();
videoBtn3_2.onRelease = function() {

 videoBtn4_2.play();
videoBtn5_2.onRelease = function() {

 videoBtn4_3.play();
videoBtn5_3.onRelease = function() {

 videoBtn5_3.play();
videoBtn1_4.onRelease = function() {
 gotoAndStop(127);
 videoBtn1_4.play();
videoBtn2_4.onRelease = function() {

 videoBtn4_4.play();
videoBtn5_4.onRelease = function() {
 gotoAndStop(127);
 videoBtn5_4.play();
videoBtn1_5.onRelease = function() {
 gotoAndStop(127);
 videoBtn1_5.play();
videoBtn2_5.onRelease = function() {
 gotoAndStop(127);
 videoBtn2_5.play();
videoBtn3_5.onRelease = function() {
 gotoAndStop(127);
 videoBtn3_5.play();
videoBtn4_5.onRelease = function() {
 gotoAndStop(127);
 videoBtn4_5.play();
videoBtn5_5.onRelease = function() {
 gotoAndStop(127);
 videoBtn5_5.play();

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.

Button "change" disappers in BSP degree audit

Hi,
I find the following strange behaviour in BSP degree audit, when I want to change an existing but not released degree audit run.
1. When I select the student in the BSP application and list the audit runs for a study program, the application shows correctly five buttons: "create", "change", "display", "delete" and "cancel". Four of them are greyed correctly, as no audit run is selected yet.
When I now select an audit run, the buttons "change", "display" and "delete" disappear, so I can not change or delete the audit run anymore. To me, this behaviour seems not to be correct.
2. When I create a new audit run in this situation, no "save"-button appears. This also seems not to be correct.
Can anybody reproduce this behaviour as well? Is this a bug?
Thank you
Andreas Born

Unfortunately this comes not out-of-the-box. Remember you are in a web browser and not in SAPGUI. If you need it you can do one of two things:
1. develop such a tool by yourself
2. check out the possibilities WebDynpro for ABAP offers you (available as of SAP NetWeaver 7.0).

Anybody know how to 'change' original ID username with OLD deleted email account on my iPad 2? New email and password work on website, but can't access iPad - thanks.

Does anyone know how I can change original e-mail / user ID on the iPad II itself? On the website, I can use new email/user ID and password; but NOT on the iPad!? Thanks for any assistance.

Hi,
In order to fix the problem regarding Adobe ID you can follow the steps as suggested below.
1) Open Adobe Digital Editions and connect your Reader
   Press the keys Ctrl + Shift + E on your keyboard.
   Now a Deauthorize screen will come up asking you to deauthorize your Reader.
   Follow the screen instructions and unauthorize the Reader.
   Now Press the keys Ctrl + Shift + D on your keyboard.
    Now a Deauthorize screen will come up asking you to deauthorize your Computer.
    Follow the screen instructions and unauthorize the computer.
Click Start>>Run and Type "Regedit" without quotes in the box
     A window will open with name Registry Editor
     Search for ADEPT in given location.
     HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Adobe>Adept
     Delete the full folder
     Now open Digital Editions and it will ask you to authorize enter your New Adobe ID and password.
     Now connect your Reader and it will again ask you to authorize enter your Adobe ID and password.
Please Note : Your Adobe ID and password which you are entering while authorizing your Reader should match with the ID which you are using with Adobe Digital Editions.
Now for your second problem that your Reader is not getting recognized by your computer I would suggest you to contact sony support in order to fix it. They might have some firmware update for your Reader.
I hope this will help you!!!

Rizwan
