Problem with a button action

Hi guys. I am trying to build my first website and I
follow the instructions of a videotutorial of flash 8. But in the
second step (Making it work the buttons) when I had tried to add
action to my selected button, appear a message like this....Cannot
add actions to this selection (translated from spanish) Why?...Is a
conflict between versions 8 and CS3? Please help to fix and learn
Know How?

I'm a newbie to Flash, and I ran into this same issue with
not being able to add actionscript to a button in 3.0. So I clicked
Settings and changed the version to 2.0 in order to do it, and it
worked fine. My only concern is - if you create a file in v3.0,
then switch it to v2.0 midstream, will this cause any issues later
with the file? Have you run into this? Thanks much!

  • A really annoying problem with a button/movie clip

    I am having a problem with a button! its driving me insane
    because i managed to do it last week, but that was by chance and
    now i can't remember how i did it!
    I can get the button (i'm using gelright from the common
    libraries panel) and convert it to a movie clip(by pressing F8) and
    even attach a behaviour but when i play the movie it doen't work!
    when i move the curser over the button it changes into a hand, but
    will not act like a button, even though i have set the behaviour to
    'on release, go to and play keyframe 2'.
    Please help me, for the sake of my laptop goin through the
    wall!

    ok - you are running yourself around in circles - why did you
    delete it to the stage only to add it
    again? once you converted it to a movie clip, you had what
    you wanted on the stage - but then you
    deleted it and dragged another instance of the same symbol
    back onto the stage - there's no reason
    to do that.

    Right - this is expected because yoyu are now inside the
    movie clip timeline - not the button timeline.
    > When i double clicked on it again, it brought up the
    right headings (top, down,
    > over, etc),
    Right - because by double clicking the button symbol you were
    then brought to "edit mode" for the
    button symbol.
    but there were about 5 layers that showed the different
    layers for
    > the original button.
    Huh? What "5 layers"? What do you mean "original" button -
    per your description there has only ever
    been 1 button you have been working with.
    > I think i have to add the button to each of the
    headings, bt there is no room,
    Lost you completely now - what do you mean add the button to
    each heading? I have no clue what you mean.

    Still losing you here.

    That's because you are applying a behavior for a button to a
    movie clip instead.
    I think you went wrong when you converted the button to a
    movie clip - i have no idea why you did
    that or why to think your button needs to be in a movie clip.

    I just think you don't understand how timelines, symbols or
    buttons work yet in flash.
    1. drag a button to the stage.
    2. select it and open the Behaviors panel (dont double click
    it to edit it).
    3. add your actions.
    4. test movie.
    (no need for a movie clip here.

    By the way, alcohol based hand sanitisers work too.
    Don't overapply it in one go though. You'll have to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
    One final tip, after its dried, I'd recommend you to leave your iPhone's home button facing a laptop's vent just to bake it a little drier.

  • Problems with parameter button in Crystal Report Server  2008

    Dear all,
    I have problems with parameter button in Crystal Report Server 2008.
    when I created some parameters and groups in Crystal Report 2008, they showed both parameters in 'Parameter button' and group in 'Group button'  on the left, so I can choose or type without clicking 'Refresh button' But when I added it to Crystal Report Server 2008 and I click parameter button , it doesn't show any parameter. Only click refresh button to choose them. On the other hand, for 'Group Tree' is ok. When go to Default Setting-> Parameter, all parameters are in 'Unused parameter'  First time I think I had problems with my installation, but when I reinstalled it again, it was like before.
    Could any one help me with this?
    I appreciate looking forward to your reply

  • Problem with sleep button

    I have problem with sleep button on my hp pavilion dv6-1354us When i press FN + F5 nothing happend. I reinstalled drivers for hp quick lunch buttons but the same problem.. Any solutions ? Thanks.

    The operations of FN functions mainly based on the intrinsic working between the drivers and System BIOS.
    If you already upgraded the Quick Lanuch Driver, then you may want to upgrade your System BIOS to the latest one in HP website to see if it can resolve the problem for you.
    However, you need to be careful while upgrading your System BIOS.

  • Problem with Masked Buttons

    As it stands i have a button called Start, when this button is hovered over, three more buttons appear at its side (all masked)
    I'm having trouble actionscripting the buttons, ive tried putting the AS on the button
    on(release){
    gotoAndStop(2);
    seen as everything so far is done on the first frame on various layers i just need it to go to frame 2. but this doesn't work.
    the code that's on the start button is
    on(rollOver){
    Startmenu.play();
    Start menu is the invisible movieclip which has the masks and rollout buttons in.
    anyone got any ideas?

    start button does overlay the other buttons and it is on the main timeline. as is the movieclip which activated the 3 buttons when the start button is rolled over with the mouse.

    Subject: Problem with Masked Buttons
    does your start button overlay the other buttons?
    is your start button on the main timeline?
    is the movieclip with the 3 buttons on your main timeline?
    does that movieclip respond to the mouse (and thereby intercept mouse events intended for the buttons it contains)?

  • Problem with option buttons

    Hi!
    We have a problem with Option buttons.
    Example: We create a new document , then we add a group of Option buttons, so far no problem,  but we can't have different description on each button. Say we create four option buttons, option 1, option 2, option 3 and option 4. They are now grouped together so that we can only choose one option, but we also want to have different descriptions on the tooltip when the user hovers over. But when we set for example "Option 1" as a description on the first button, all buttons get the same description, what is wrong!
    Dan

    A field's Tooltip entry is a "child" of the field's Name (in the General tab of the field's Properties dialog).
    So, all fields of the same Name will have the same Tooltip.
    Perhaps this is the problem?
    Be well...

  • A problem with rollover button

    i have a problem with rollover button in the menus when i upload my site to the hosting server. When i preview in browser with Dreamweaver before upload , there are no problems.
    Thank you!

    You have not uploaded the images on the server which is why rollover is not working. When we put the url - http://modano.1gb.bg/button4a.gif in browser it takes the user to the home page of the hosting company. I think you need to check to make sure that the images are uploaded properly.
