Please Help with linking buttons to media

Hi,
I'm creating a virtual tour of my site and i have a couple of
things i'm stuck on. I've done an intro, and after that 6 buttons
roll in which you can click on that open up videos. I need the end
of the intro to now be 'frozen' or looped or something. How do i do
that? I've worked out the action script so that you click on the
button and the video plays, BUT how do i make the video invisible
before you click the button? At the moment it's just on the screen.
I also need each button to simultaneousy open up two mp3
files...what's the action script for that? I've been using script
assist and i'm stuck.
Thank you.

Hard to explain without seeing what you accomplished so far.
For the intro either add a keyframe then add either a stop action
or a gotoAndPlay action. For the video give the player an instance
name, then use actionscript to make it invisible. There are
tutorials on this forum for adding sounds to buttons:
For the MP3 issue here are some tutorials (thanks Chris G):

  • 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.

    I hope you arnt as confused as I am right now.
    I have packaged up the flash file which includeds the xml aswell.
    If anyone could help me out with this I would be very greatful.
    Thanks All

    Remove the code from all btns, as below paste it on main timeline
    Also no need to load xml twice as dome in image container...
    give an instance name to the outer container of btns - menumv
    use following method to openURL, use same for all the btns..
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import flash.net.URLLoader;
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    var myXML:XML;
    var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    myLoader.load(new URLRequest("links.xml"));
    myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
    function processXML(e:Event):void
    myXML = new XML(e.target.data);
    trace(myXML);
    menumv.carbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, openURL);
    function openURL(e:MouseEvent):void
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest(myXML.car.url));

  • Help with assignment- buttons that control movie clips

    I am pretty new to flash and my professor gave us an assignment with little help or tutorials.
    He wants us to create a SWF that features a house and it's front yard and two buttons.
    One button that says Sunrise, and one that says Sunset.
    When I push the sunrise button, the sun needs to rise above the house and stay there.  When I push the Sunset button, it needs to set- and then a ufo needs to land on the lawn.
    So i think I have a pretty good grasp on the assignment, but the actionscript is throwing me off.  How can I make buttons that will control the sun movie clip to rise- stay above the house, and then set?  The ufo is a whole new matter.   The sunset button should make the sun lower and then a ufo land on the lawn.
    Please help explain/link me to the proper tutorials.   One thing that i'm worried about is that the sun will rise- and then stay above the house even if i click the sunset button.
    Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Well i can think of a few ways to do this.
    Depending on what you have been taught so far you should be able to do this if you know how to make a button, a movie clip, and the basic script for the timeline. ie. play,stop, gotoandplay etc.
    I understand you have been set a task and you want the answer straight away. But i doubt he would have given you anything you couldn't handle. Also I learnt more from trial and error and searching the net than from most of my teachers at coll and uni, It's frustrating i know, but the buzz you get when you finally crack it is amazing. Stick in there!
    That being said i remember the panic I suffered and like to help so here's a thought:
    You could just have the 2 buttons play a basic movie clip. The sky could rotate one way to make the sun rise and add a "stop" in the actions to make it stay there, and to the left to sunset with both images together but not being shown all the time by using a mask. You could even add in the ufo to the clip but this would only work if you added an extra part to the movie so that when the ufo has landed it flys out again and then begins to rotate the sun and moon again. ( buttons would be dissabled during the play modes to avoid chaos) This is just a quick thought. I'm sure there are several ways of doing this depending on how fancy it needs to be.
    If your teacher really has given you no notes on buttons,movieclips and actionscript i would sujest Adobe TV. Nice videos that explain step by step. OR try downloading a tutorial file with buttons and movie clips and look at the coding they use in the file. Thats how i have learnt most of it since finishing Uni.
    Good Luck

  • HT5824 I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off..

    I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. I have no problem sending the text messages but I'm not receivng any from iPhones at all. It has been about a week now that I'm having this problem. I've already tried fixing it myself and I also went into the sprint store, they tried everything as well. My last option was to contact Apple directly. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off so that I can receive my texts.

    If you registered your iPhone with Apple using a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistering it.  Also, try changing the password associated with the Apple ID that you were using for iMessage.

  • Please help with "You can't open the application NovamediaDiskSupressor because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." I have seen other responses on this but am not a techie and would not know how to start with that solution.

    Please help with the message I am receving on startup ""You can't open the application NovamediaDiskSupressor because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
    I have read some of the replies in the Apple Support Communities, but as I am no techie, I would have no idea how I would implement that solution.
    Please help with what I need to type, how, where, etc.
    Many thanks

    I am afraid there is no solution.
    PowerPC refers to the processing chip used by Apple before they transferred to Intel chips. They are very different, and applications written only for PPC Macs cannot work on a Mac running Lion.
    You could contact the developers to see if they have an updated version in the pipeline.

    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.

  • [ETL]Could you please help with a problem accessing UML stereotype attributes ?

    Hi all,
    Could you please help with a problem accessing UML stereotype attributes and their values ?
    Here is the description :
    -I created a UML model with Papyrus tool and I applied MARTE profile to this UML model.
    -Then, I applied <<PaStep>> stereotype to an AcceptEventAction ( which is one of the element that I created in this model ), and set the extOpDemand property of the stereotype to 2.7 with Papyrus.
    -Now In the ETL file, I can find the stereotype property of extOpDemand as follows :
    s.attribute.selectOne(a|a.name="extOpDemand") , where s is a variable of type Stereotype.
    -However I can't access the value 2.7 of the extOpDemand attribute of the <<PaStep>> Stereotype. How do I do that ?
    Please help
    Thank you

    Hi Dimitris,
    Thank you , a minimal example is provided now.
    Version of the Epsilon that I am using is : ( Epsilon Core 1.2.0.201408251031 org.eclipse.epsilon.core.feature.feature.group Eclipse.org)
    Instructions for reproducing the problem :
    1-Run the uml2etl.etl transformation with the supplied launch configuration.
    2-Open lqn.model.
    There are two folders inside MinimalExample folder, the one which is called MinimalExample has 4 files, model.uml , lqn.model, uml2lqn.etl and MinimalExampleTransformation.launch.
    The other folder which is LQN has four files. (.project),LQN.emf,LQN.ecore and untitled.model which is an example model conforming to the LQN metamodel to see how the model looks like.
    Thank you

    If you have an UDO in your form, or any other, the FormDataLoad eventhandler should be used.
    Take care, it is not inside the eventhandler.
    for VB:
    Select SBO_APPLICATION in the classes, and select FormDataLoad event
    Private Sub SBO_Application_FormDataEvent(ByRef BusinessObjectInfo As SAPbouiCOM.BusinessObjectInfo, ByRef BubbleEvent As Boolean) Handles SBO_Application.FormDataEvent
    in C#
    Add a new eventhandler as
    // declaration
    SBO_Application.FormDataEvent += new SAPbouiCOM._IApplicationEvents_FormDataEventEventHandler(ref SBO_Application_FormDataEvent);
    // eventhandler:
    public void SBO_Application_FormDataEvent(ref SAPbouiCOM.BusinessObjectInfo BusinessObjectInfo, out bool BubbleEvent)
