Need help with buttons in applet

stupid question maybe but i'm a beginner, and hey..there are no stupid questions, right? well, i may prove that wrong...anyway...
I can't relocate a button, or any other component for that matter. When I try to make a simple applet with just one button showing, then it works perfect...but when I make the applet a little bigger with some graphcis and text, the setLocation() and setSize() methods don't work. the wierd part is that I don't get an error message, the compiler just ignores those lines...so it seems anyway.
If anyone can help me I'd be very greatful
thanx a lot

Do you know there are 5 layout managers in java. It is probably worth looking through each one and the commands they use.
The layout is determined by two things:
1.position Components are added
2.Layout manager used
Ive never had to use setLocation() and setSize() as the layouts do it for you:
1.Flowlayout: which is the default pane. e.g.
setLayout(new Flowlayout()).
2.GridLayout: postions panels into rows and columns
b.GridBagLayout
3.Borderlayout(NORTH,SOUTH,EAST,WEST and CENTER) postions in applet.
4.CardLayout(a bit like a slideshow)
5.Insets() which is used to determine top,bottom,left and right.
Don't bother about 4 or 5 yet. But definitly have a look at the other 3.
e.g. setLayout(new BorderLayout());
add("North", new Button("ok"));
add("CENTER", new Button("Exit");
etc..

Boss,
there is something called Layout Management in Java,
see types of layouts in the Java API.
Applet default is FlowLayout,
so modify your layouts and try,
u need a basic understanding and reading of Layouts
in Java..take a tutorial...
gud luck!

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

Need help with buttons that react to rollover that create a scoll effect

hey everyone,
I'm new to flash and actionscript and am having trouble
creating what I need. I want to create a scroll area that scrolls
left and right when you rollover a left or right arrow. what I want
to scroll looks like a piece of film negative that has about 20
thumbnails in it. I only want it to show about 4 thumbs at once
though (thus the scroll is needed). so when the mouse rolls over
the arrows, it scrolls, and when it rolls out it stops in place.
eventually, i will add links to the thumbs for a better image.
I've checked out a couple tutorials on scrollbars and such
thinking that I can just go in and modify the code a bit, but the
two turorials i've tried to do have left some of the pieces out...
not very helpful when you don't know actionscript well. does
anybody have any tips or ideas?

Need HELP with BUTTONS (help! help!)

I am trying to create a "return to previous page" button, one that acts like the "Back" arrow on your web browser.
I want to add this on my Master page, so that every chapter will have the same button in the same place with the same result.
My manual says that "Return to Previous View" is a button option. But I can't get it to work.
Please help, I need to finish this thing TODAY (July 16)

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't think what you want is going to be so easy. It isn't something you can set up in a snap. And buttons may not be what you want at all. Buttons serve rather simple functions. I think you are looking at Indexing, and some fairly complex indexing at that.
Now having said that, Return to Previous View does work (You do realize that these buttons only work in a PDF exported with Include Interactive Elements checked, right?), but you need something to get you to that next view in the first place. And I'm not sure how you can define that without indexing. Perhaps you could use anchored objects and Go to Anchor button, but I think the anchor would have to have something placed in it because it's found via the link in the object. Then a button in the appendix could be defined as Return to Previous View to get you back to the page you came from.
As you can see, this could get pretty messy. Indexing tends to move you around the book much more seamlessly. But it is also something that has to be meticulously set up after the book is completely laid out.
The InDesigner Podcast has a lesson on indexing as a request from one of his viewers. But in order to explain it he started with a lesson on Book Basics, then one on Table of Contents, Advanced TOC, Indexing, and finally Generating an Index. You can download the five podcasts from the InDesigner.com and watch them to get an idea of what's involved and how it may help in your situation.
Sorry, but even if someone here with more expertise than I in this matter comes to your aid, you still have quite a bit of learning ahead of you to pull this off.

I need help with buttons

I am creating a GUI program, and I would like to know how to recognize a "mouseover" event on a button. Right now I am using "private JButton Button;" -- is it possible to have a mouseover for that?
If not, please tell me the steps I need to take in order to be able to have a mouseover event on a button. It is relatively important to the program =P
Thanks.
Edit -- I am going to be AFK for a while, please respond with as much info as possible. Thanks again ;-)

I went to the help section on setRolloverIcon, and I kind of understand it, but what is an "Icon"?
What I want to happen when I move my mouse over the button is this: TextBox.setText("This button does this: bla bla bla");
Then I want the text in TextBox to go away when my mouse leaves the button. I know this is possible in some programs, but is it in Java?

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. ;)

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.

Now I'm completely lost. Where should I add that code in your

Need help with paint() within applet

Hi,
I am having some problems in using the paint() method within an applet.
I need to use drawString() in the paint() method.
However, I discovered that when i used drawString() in paint() method.
It clears the background which has other GUI components wipe out.
Pls help, thanx
Sample code:
public class watever extends javax.swing.JApplet {
//initialize some components and variables
public void init() {
//adding of components to contentPane
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawString("The variable is " + sum, 80, 80);
}

super.paint(g) the paint method draws the components to, so if you override it and then never tell it to draw the components they don't get drawn.

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!
[AS]
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.
