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?

Two Form buttons - a "submit" and an "Add Another Record" button

Hello, any help would be appreciated . I think what I want to do requires a Custom Trigger but am not sure. And if it does, I'm not sure how to do it.
I've got a form and when the user gets to the point where they want to submit the form, I want need two buttons; a Submit button and an "Add another Record" button.
The reason is that the form contains two parts; two fields that go into one table (ex. incident and location) and two fields that go into another table (first name and last name). Of course these tables are tied together. I can do that no problem. But if the user wants to enter another person's name, I want the user to click the Add Another Record button and be able to add the second or third name.
I know that I need a Custom Trigger to carry the original tables ID. What I can't figure out is how to add the additional button next to the Submit button.
Thanks!

It is possible you have an add-on popup blocker that is more aggressive than Firefox's standard popup blocker?
A quick way to see whether one of your extensions is involved is to test these features in Firefox's Safe Mode. That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled ''(Flash and other plugins still run)''
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

Button functionality in a movieclip within another movieclip for another movieclip

Ok so i have this looping thumbnails bar that goes like this:
Scene1-imagebar-imagebarinside
The buttons symbols are in the "imagebarinside" movieclip and i am using this code:
ss1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, play1);
function play1(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop("ssbox1");
...in this movieclip to play another labeled frame in another movieclip (Scene1-Bara)
Problem is it wont work :-< if anyone has a better ideea i'll really apreciate it

Hey!
So, trying to understand the distribution of your MovieClips inside the flash file, this is what I understand:
Scene1 contains a movieclip with the instance name "imagebar" and another movieclip with the instance name "bara".
"imagebar" contains a movieclip with the instance name "imagebarinside". If that is the case (And the code being on the first frame of "imagebarinside"), I would use something like:
function play1(event:MouseEvent):void
Object(this.parent).parent.bara.gotoAndStop("ssbox1");
Hope this works!

Attach a movieclip from the main timeline inside another movieclip.

I need help with the game I am working currently. On the main timeline Actions frame I have a loader class called myLoader. I attached that to a movieclip called currentSWF. I have a movieclip called SpinningCard in the library which I dynamically attached to the stage. Inside the SpinningCard movieclip there is another movieclip Card. In the Card movieclip I have 10 frames and on each frame I want to attach a different instance of the movieclip currentSWF. How can I do achieve that?
here's what I have till now...
On the main timeline Actions frame...
var loader:Loader=new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("CardGraphics.swf"))
var currentSWF:MovieClip;
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, swfLoaded);
   function swfLoaded(e:Event):void {
   currentSWF = MovieClip(loader.contentLoaderInfo.content);
   addChild(currentSWF);
Inside the Card movieclip on the first frame I have this code...
var a1:MovieClip = MovieClip(parent.parent.getChildByName('currentSWF'));
CardFrame1.addChild(a1);
//CardFrame1 is an empty movieclip which is there on the frame 1 of Card Moveiclip.
I am getting error : Parameter must be non-null. How can I solve. Can anyone please help me.

Hi Nabren
I'm also looking to load a library based movie-clip into a stage based movie-clip, so that I can inturn swap it with other movie clips to act as different pages (page2_mc etc) which will be used in different sections of the application to give chapters as such.
I've had a go at the above but can't get a result, though it did not throw an error. I also had a trace() on each side and both of those triggered.
The stage based mc I called pageMC and the content mc I called content the same as your example
trace('loader - cx');
var loader:Loader=new Loader();
var pageMC:MovieClip;
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, swfLoaded);
function swfLoaded(e:Event):void {
pageMC = MovieClip(loader.contentLoaderInfo.content);
pageMC.name = "pageMC";
addChild(pageMC);
trace("Menu 4");
I'd appreciate some assistance. I would like to use internal MC's as I want to put the application to iOS and Android and believe by using movieclips I should be able to have some code with them whereas importing swf's I can't.
Thanks

Referencing _root.Button from a movie loaded inside another movie

I have the following situation
MainMove.swf is doing a loadmovie of SecondMovie.swf
The Button that loads SecondMovie.swf also disables other buttons in MainMovie.swf
on (release) {
_root.intro_btn.enabled = flase;
loadMovieNum("SecondMovie.swf", 2);
How do I Re enabled the Buttons in MainMovie.swf from a Button within SecondMovie.swf???
Using AS2 is this current project
Thanks

You might be able to use the same line of code setting the enabled value to true. If you have not locked the root of the loaded swf, the _root should till be pointing at the main movie.
_root.intro_btn.enabled = true;

Detect closed buttons and vi from VIs inside subpanel

Hi I have a problem regarding the closed buttons and frontpanel from vis inside the subpanel.
I am using Labview 7.1. Pls see the attached. Inside the attached, they are main, first, second and subpanel.
First, second and main are supposed to be inside the subpanel. First and second vis are closed by means
of their own close buttons while the main vi is closed by means of delay.
I thought of using the F.P.state property to tell the states of Vi inside the subpanel. But it does not seem to work.
Please help.
And secondly as a thoughts on separate issue , building the main.vi that would be reponsible for opening first and second vi, by means of open vi property and open vi function.
When it works, then I run subpanel to open main vi inside . But somehow first and second vi open outside subpanel. Do do you think putting all vis in the subpanel would be better than putting the main inside the subpanel, where the main vi would later open other vis?
Thanks
Clement

Hi Clement,
For VIs in subpanels the value of Front Panel Windowtate is always Hidden. I modified your code to use the Executiontate VI property. Hopefully you'll find the attached subpanel.vi useful.

Placing a Button inside a TextBox - RadioButtons inside a Datagrid

Hi,
I would like to place a small button inside a textbox, so that when the button is clicked it will popup a window showing a Datagrid. I will be using an arrayCollection to supply the data to the grid's dataProvider. I would like to have as the 1st column radiobuttons for each row of data in the grid. When any radiobutton is selected that row's data is populated into the textbox that the button is in. Is this functionality feasible? Any code to inplement this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
J

OK so I have managed to create the Datagrid with 3 columns the 1st is called Select, 2nd is Subject and 3rd is Message. I used a TitleWindow in a separate mxml file to create the popup window that contains the Datagrid. As I want the 1st column of my grid to have RadioButtons for all rows that have data, how do I now get these appearing under the Select Column? When a RadioButton is selected and the popup window closed the selected row's data should be populated into a couple of textbox;s one for each of the columns data.
I have not yet managed to get the button to sit inside a Textbox. As the textbox is among a number of controls displayed on the same line in a HBox, I can only get the button to sit along side the textbox, but would prefer it to be sitting inside the textbox.
Any help would be appreciated?
Thanks,
J

Button "Over" State Not Working Within Visible MovieClip

Hi Folks,
My button states aren't working right, and I'm pulling my hair out:
http://www.miklas.org/test/test.htm
The desired behavior is under the "Design..." button--notice how when you mouseover the "Our Philosophy" link it turns blue? Why isn't this happening for the "What We Can Do For You" and "Our Process" buttons in the other movieclips?
The document is structured as follows:
MovieClip 1: Design: Your Silent Salesperson
---Text
---Images
---Button: Our Philosophy
MovieClip 2: Who Owns Your Brand
---Text
---Images
---Button: What We Can Do For You
MovieClip 3: What's Your Brand's Persona
---Text
---Images:
---Button: Our Process
DETAILED EXPLANATION:
I have three separate movie clips with a bunch of objects. Using AS3, I tween their alpha value from 0 to 1 to make them visible depending on a user mouseover. As part of each movieclip I have a button. It is text with an underline; made to look like a hyperlink. When the user mouses over the text, I want it to change color from orange to blue. This works on the first movieclip, but doesn't on the second and third! What's weird is that if I cut-and-paste the button from the second or third movieclip to the first, the over state works fine. If I set Control -> Enable Simple Buttons, the over state works fine. But when I export it to .swf, it doesn't work!?
tyvm!

OK I finally got it! My layers were indeed out of whack--the entire problem was solved by the"setChildIndex" function.
Basically, when the user mouses over the buttons, I fade in the new clip, and set the depth above the other movie clips. Here's the code:
buttons_movieClip.whyDesign_button.addEventListener(
MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,
function(evt:MouseEvent):void
      if (active != whyDesign_movieClip)
        fade(whyDesign_movieClip);
        setChildIndex(whyDesign_movieClip,3);
        setChildIndex(whoOwns_movieClip,2);
        setChildIndex(persona_movieClip,1);
There is a black background at depth 0. The following forum post helped a lot:

How do you grey out/disable fields under a radio button if another radio button is selected in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

How do you grey out/disable fields under a radio button if another radio button is selected in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?
I’m creating a form where the user has three options to make a payment.
1. charge to my credit card
2. charge associated costs to bank account
3. By cheque or money order
My Problem is, under each option, there are required fields that has to be filled out. So if the user picks the first option, charge to my credit card, they would fill out the required fields (credit card number, expiration date etc.). But when they click submit button to submit the form, it won’t let them, because there are required fields under the second option. Also, I have the radio buttons for the three options setup so that if the user holds the shift key and clicks a radio button, it unchecks it. So what I'm trying to do is this: If the user selects the radio button for option 1, the other two options are greyed out/disabled. And if the user holds down the shift key and clicks radio button for option one again, it unchecks the radio button and the other two options are available again. Is there a way to grey out or disable the two other payment options when the other one is picked. I’m assuming I will have to use javascript, but what would the coding be and which field do I write it under?
Thanks in advance guys

You will have to use custom JavaScript to access the various properties of the field object.
The radio button group has a value. When no button is selected that value is "Off". When an individual button has been selected the value for the group will be the option or export value for that individual button.
Once you have determined the button selected, then you will know the form fields that need to be made required. You use JavaScript to access those fields and change the "read only" property to false, and set the "required" property to true. For the fields associated with the other options, those fields should be reset, made read only, and have the "required" property set to false.
Disabling (graying-out) Form Fields
>> Also, I have the radio buttons for the three options setup so that if the user holds the shift key and clicks a radio button, it unchecks it.
Radio button in a PDF do not work that way. Only check boxes can be unchecked by clicking on one that has been checked.
If you plan the coding for the Mouse UP action to test for all possible options and code for each of those options you should have what you want.
If you want actual code you need to provide a lot more details.
It is even possible to perform some credit card and bank routing number validations with JavaScript and some check digit formulas.

How can I link from one flash document to another with buttons?

Hi,
From the question above, you can tell that I'm very new to flash, especially with scripting. Total noob.
I watched my instructor's videos and I'm still stumped. He didn't explain it very well.
For starters, I am using Flash CS6, but I clicked on AS1.0 and AS2.0 from the drop down mention in the actionscript window for the script below, since that is what my instructor used.
What I have now are various pages I've already created in flash that are different pages in my website, including a splash page with an enter button.
For example, I want the enter button to link to another .swf or .html file when it is clicked. This file will be the main page.
I tried using this script that my instructor mentioned in the video on the button layer:
on (release); {
getURL("page1.swf");
the "page1.swf" file is already in the same folder in my computer as my splash page and I even imported it to the library of my splash page.
From my instructor's video demo, that should be apparently all that is needed.
But I cannot get this to work.
I tested the file and this is what flash comes up with:
In the output tab:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable TCMText is not defined.
In the compiler errors tab:
Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 28', Frame 1, Line 1
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method on.
Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 28', Frame 1, Line 1
1120: Access of undefined property release.
Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 28', Frame 1, Line 2
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method getURL.
Any thoughts? My instructor also recommended that I embed the .swf into an .html, but he obviously didn't tell us how to do that!
Also, why doesn't script assist work with AS3?
Thank you so much!

Okay so I changed it to AS1/AS2.
Now it says this:
Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 28, frame=1, Line 1
Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 28, frame=1, Line 4
Syntax error.
I am very confused.
Also, since all my other pages are in AS3, is there some way I can use another script in AS3 that accomplishes the same task?
Can someone please provide me with the correct script to use?
Thank you so much! I feel that people here are much more responsive than my instructor is! Thank God for this forum!

Button won't work after calling another swf

Hey!
I have a scene where multiple buttons appear.
One of them calls a different swf file with loadMovie(). The other swf has a button that uses the same function to return to the original swf (i have created a swf for every scene of the original fla and so I can return to the exact scene where I was). Another button in my original scene just calls another scene of the same swf with gotoAndPlay.
So far so good.
The problem is that after I go forth and back to the external swf, using the 1st button, the other button (that sends the user to another scene) won't work. It just does nothing.
(Although every other button in the scene keeps working).
Using AS2 in CS5 (don't ask why i didn't use AS3 - noob).
Any ideas?
Thanks

Ok, the whole scene has a simple loop to keep it running..
The first button has:
on (release)
loadMovie("game.swf",1);
The button on the external swf has:
on (release)]
stopAllSounds();
loadMovie("project_games.swf",1); //I have a swf for the original scene to connect the external swf directly with it, rather the whole project swf
The other button in my original scene (the one that doesn't work after the use of the above two):
on (release)
gotoAndPlay("begin",1); //begin is the name of a scene in the project
That's it.
THanks for your reply my friend.
Any ideas?

My centre button has stopped working and my top lock button has stopped working too. I've had this iPhone 2 years now, can I take it into apple and swap for another phone or am I not covered? Thanks

My centre button has stopped working and my top lock button has stopped working too. I've had this iPhone 2 years now, can I take it into apple and swap for another phone or am I not covered? Thanks

The standard Apple warranty is 1 year. I believe you can purchase AppleCare+, which extends the warranty to two years from the date of purchase. This extended warranty needs to be purchased within 30 days of the purchase date for the phone.
If you have the extended warranty, you may be able to get a replacement phone at no cost. You will need to make an appointment at an Apple Store Genuis Bar and have them take a look at the phone.
If you did not purchase the additional warranty coverage, you should be able to purchase an Out-of-Warranty replacement, which is $199 for the iPhone 4S.

How do I reference a dynamically created MovieClip from another MovieClip?

Hi,
I'd be grateful for any pointers to the following problem:
     I'm having trouble referencing dynamically created MovieClips (links in a side panel on a Flash website, created from an XML file) from the current MovieClip (the currently selected link).
     I wish to freeze the the link/MovieClip in its mouseOver state once it has been clicked - this part works. When a new link/MovieClip is clicked on, I wish to release the previously clicked-on link from its mouseOver state, which is what I've so far been unable to do.
     My problem seems to be referencing the previous link/MoveClip. I've used the trace statement trace(MovieClip(this).name) to determine that the MovieClips are named item0, item1, item2 and so on. However, I've been unable thus far to reference the previous clip thus far. I've tried to trace the route to the MovieClip from the stage, and also tried MovieClip(parent).item0.gotoAndStop and lots of other different permutations, but to no avail. It's the fact they seem to be in a container called 'panel' which is defeating me.
     Here's a live version I've uploaded, which might explain the problem better. Click on "UBER UNS" in the top menu bar to get to the page in question. It's the links on the left-hand side (Historie, Unser Team, etc.) which are the problem. You'll see that once they've been clicked on they remain in their mouseOver state.
     This is the code in question on the fla file, which is a file I did not create myself. The parts in black work fine; it's the red parts where the problem lies:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
panel.buttonMode = true;
var lang:uint = 1;
var url_Link:String=MovieClip(root).program.websiteXML .language[lang].pages.titlePage[MovieClip(root).program.linkPage].texts.pageList.txt[numT XT].@link;
var urlPage:Number=Number(MovieClip(root).program.webs iteXML.language[lang].pages.titlePage[MovieClip(root).program.linkPage].texts.pageList.tx t[numTXT].@linkPage);
var request:URLRequest;
var linkIndex:uint;
var lastClickedLink:MovieClip;   //This is supposed to store the last link that has been clicked - it doesn't work
panel.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clicLink);
panel.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mouseOverLink);
panel.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, mouseOutLink);
function mouseOverLink(event:MouseEvent):void {
      MovieClip(this).gotoAndPlay('s1');
function mouseOutLink(event:MouseEvent):void {
      if(numTXT !== (linkIndex - 1)/5){         //freezes mouseOver state if this is the link for the current page
           MovieClip(this).gotoAndPlay('s2');
function clicLink(event:MouseEvent):void {
      var linkpage:uint = MovieClip(root).program.linkPage;
      if (url_Link) {
           request = new URLRequest(url_Link);
           navigateToURL(request);
      } else {
           linkIndex = numTXT * 5 + 1;
           if(linkpage == 1){
               MovieClip(root).chPages.cont.page_about_mc.page3Tu rner_mc.gotoAndStop([linkIndex]);
          } else if (linkpage == 2){
               MovieClip(root).chPages.cont.page3_mc.page3Turner_ mc.gotoAndStop([linkIndex]);
     lastClickedLink.gotoAndPlay('s2'); // this is supposed to release the previous clicked-on link from it's mouseOver state - doesn't work
     lastClickedLink = MovieClip(this).name;    //this is supposed to set the new link as the last link clicked after the old one has been released from it's mouseOver state - doesn't work
If anyone can help, that would be great.

What you might be after for that line is to use:
lastClickedLink = MovieClip(event.currentTarget);
For what you show, the name property of an object is a String, so I would expect you to be getting an error regarding trying to get a String to act like a MovieClip when you try to tell it to gotoAndPlay('s2').
