Simple Button Action Help
Hi
I am new to flash and having a bit of trouble. All I would
like to do is be able to create a button and have that button
navigate to a frame.
What I am doing now is:
Insert - New Symbol - Button and name the button (ex: about)
Go through the up/over/down/hit steps and return to scene 1
I then drag the about button onto the stage
I give the about button the instance name of about_btn
In the action layer, I enter the following code:
stop();
_root.about_btn.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndStop("about");
"about" being the keyframe I would like to go to
When I test the button, I get error 1120: "Access of
undefined property onrelease".
I am working on adobe flash cs3 on a pc. I know this is a
very simple issue and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

AS3 is case sensitive. You must have mistyped onrelease
instead of onRelease

Simple Button Action, gotoAndPlay... HELP ME PLEASE!!!
Hi Everyone,
I have just started using CS3 and ActionScript 3.0. I'm a
self-taught Flash user, and was very comfortable with the previous
version I was using.
I am in the process of building my website, and have come to
a complete hault now that I'm trying to assign actions to my
buttons. I've been reading up on AS 3.0, watching tutorials and
trying different codes for DAYS now, but NOTHING is working. I'm
about to pull my hair out :(
Here's where I'm stuck:
On my home page, I've got 7 buttons leading to the different
sections. Let's just talk about the first one. My "About" button
appears on the scene at Frame 15. The "About" section is on Frame
27. I want to click on my "About" button and got to and Play Frame
27. It's that simple.
I am not familiar with ActionScript 3.0. However, after all
the reading up I've been doing, I understand how actions cannot be
assigned directly on the button anymore, but rather on the main
Actions layer, referring back to an instance of a button that has
been named accordingly.
Still, nothing I've tried is working. I don't know what I'm
doing wrong.
If someone can help, I would be forever grateful. I'mquote:

There's probably some logical explanation, but I haven't
found it, just the solution for when it happens
It's such a minor little detail. I suspected it would be
something this small, as that's usually the case, but I just
couldn't put my finger on it. Not one of the places I researched
made any reference to that when they said to name the instance of
the button. How stupid.
Anyway, thank you again. I can finally move forward. This was
driving me mad. -
ok, i'm working on a project involving buttons, and i finished it and it compiles fine, but when i run the applet (using textpad), nothign shows up.
i decided to make a new applet of only the frame and buttons, and i got the same problem. here is the simple one.
import java.util.*;
import java.applet.Applet;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
public class framek extends JApplet
public static final int WIDTH = 600;
public static final int HEIGHT = 300;
public void framek()
JFrame myWindow = new JFrame();
myWindow.setSize(WIDTH, HEIGHT);
Container contentPane = myWindow.getContentPane();
contentPane.setBackground(Color.blue);
contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
JPanel button = new JPanel();
button.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
JButton convert = new JButton("Translate");
button.add(convert);
JButton delete = new JButton("Delete");
button.add(delete);
contentPane.add(button, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
i might have made some mistakes in the shortening of my project (such as variables that arent used) but i just need help with getting the buttons and background things to show. I used very similar programs in a textbook and on the web to check and they worked fine on textpad, and this doesnt. its probably a very simple thing that i forgot but i cant find it yet, as i am fairly new to swing.
any help is appreciated thanks/* <applet code="HelloApplet" width="600" height="300"></applet>

Simple button action that goes to a page within the same doc
I can't figure this out. I have a button I want to use that takes a person back to the first, or second page of the same doc. It's a catalog section with a table of contents. I need to make links for the pdf that takes people to certain pages within the same document.
In the Buttons panel, I see how to make the button, but when I assign an action, the only choice that makes sense is "Go To Destination", but I don't get or see any way to choose "page 2" of the document, or another selection method.
I did this before a few years ago on hundreds of pages, and when I open those old documents up to copy/paste the same buttons, they don't even appear to have actions on them anymore, as if it never happened.
So, what's the secret? Certainly there's a way to link to another page in the same ID file, no?Finally figured it out. I do NOT use the button panel at all. No buttons needed. Just select the grouped object that I want for my button, and hit the "add hyperlink" button in the Hyperlink panel. Then choose "Page" from the menu that opens up and be on my way. What was throwing me for a bad loop, was that I had copied and pasted the button graphic form another document. Well, since the link made previously was broken now, I had the red flag in the Hyperlinks panel...and thus, the "new hyperlink" button was greyed out, sending me in circles. The minute I deleted the old hyperlink it carried over from the old document, the new hyperlink button worked again and all was well.
Thanks. -
I'm learning Action Script. I adapted the graphics from
premade Flash script from Flashkit.com. I'm trying to write the
script to made the buttons active and get a URL. It uses a rotating
graphic with six buttons positioned like on the spokes of a ferris
wheel. The buttons are recognized (cursor chages to a "hand" icon
on rollover but something is wrong with the Action script. It is
written as:
startDrag("dragControl", true);
stop();
contact_btn.onRelease = function () {
getURL("
http://www.anypage.com",
"_blank");
where "contact_btn " is the name of one of the six buttons .
Anything obviously wrong?
thanks so much in advance, Jimhttp://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#imovie
There are good tutorials at the above link for iPhoto and iMovie.
To move a photo into iMovie, you drag and drop it into a project. -
CS4- simple button Frustration?
Hello, I just upgraded to CS4 and am finding Flash very frustrating. I only use flash for very simple ad banners. Usually have one button to click to go to a web page. Now in CS4 professional I can't do the simple of things, like create a link on a button. In the action script panel it says "Current selection cannot have actions applied to it", and the object is simply a button.
What am I missing here? Thanks for any direction.
smIf all you are doing is simple things like that, switch the publish settings to Actionscript 2.
Actionscript 3 is a new beast of a language that doesn't necessarily lend itself well to using just a simple button action.
If you want to use AS3, then give the button an instance name (in the properties panel when you have the object selected) and put the following code in the first keyframe.
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,doClick);
function doClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://path/to/site"));
Replacing "myButton" with the instance name you gave your button, and the URLRequest with the web address you want to go to. -
I want to make a simple round button that glows when you
mouse over it and depresses when you click it.
Apparently to do this I need to use Filters to make the glow
and bevels. But Filtersonly work on movie clips, buttons and text.
So I make a circle and convert it into a button symbol
(Btn1). Then I make another button symbol (Btn2) and use the first
button symbol (Btn 1) on the Up Over and Down frames of Btn 2.
Assorted Filters are applied to Btn 1 on the Up Over and Down
frames to get the effects I want.
I test the button (Btn2) using Enable Simple Buttons. It
works perfectly - glows on mouse over and depresses on click. Then
I try Test Movie -- and the button doesn't work!!!
Not does it work when exported as a SWF file!!!
I watched a tutorial video that came with my Flash Pro 8
Hands-On-Training (HOT) book and he used pretty much the same
technique -- except he only tested his button with Enable Simple
Buttons. I'll bet my house his didn't work with Test Movie either!
The stupid thing, is I was just able to achieve exactly what
I wanted very quickly using LiveMotion 2!
What is wrong here? Why is it so impossible to create a glow
button in Flash? Why has it been easy in Live Motion for years?
All help appreciated!
Thanks
craigI thought the nesting button situation might be the problem
BUT there is no other way to apply Filters to Up, Down, etc. Also,
a freaking tutorial book described that as a valid method, but
obviously it ain't.
I tried using movieclips as well but basically had the same
problem.
I mentioned LiveMotion 2 because that ancient program can do
easily what Flash Pro 8 seems incapable of.
What is the logic behind not allowing Filters to be applied
to simple graphics? It's absurd!
There's got to be a way... -
Help needed with Button action performed
Hi,
I am new to AWT prgramming .
I have created a menu called " Menu System Test window " and it contains toplevel menu items of "File" and "Help" and File Menu contains subitems "Product Evaluation" and "Exit".
When i click File->Product Evaluation it displays a new Frame named "ProductEvaluationMeasurementTool" with some check boxes ,radiobuttons, buttons and text fields. So when i select some checkboxes in that new frame and click the button labeled "Metricslevel" it displays some resultin textField1 , similarly when i click Button labeled "Measurementlevel" it displays some result in textField2.
My question is i have another button in Frame Called "Reset". When i click the Reset button all the check boxes which have been checked previously should be unchecked and moreover the result in both the textfield should be cleared.
I am sending my code. Kindly help me.
Thanks in advance.

Help in button action to open a file that is attached to main pdf doc
Hello,
I have created a button and used an icon saying "click here...." the action I want to attach to it is to have on mouse down for it to open the file which is attached to the document.
Is this possible? If so how do I direct the acton of "open file" to be the one attached in document? can't figure out path...
there was a suggestion of how to make a javascript for the button action to open the attachment panel...
this is what was written... and then below that is my question on what was written...
thomp wrote:Try thisif(app.viewerVersion < 8)
app.execMenuItem(....);
else
app.execMenuItem(....);
what would go in the '(...)' above?
I am very poor at javascript, but I am guessing that there is something I would need to fill in there? Am I correct?
thank you...
I, too, am trying to get my button action to open the attached document in my pdf form - NOT the navigation panel... I already have it doing that...
thanks again for any feedback!Erin,
After you set your link... go back into the edit mode, click on your link and go to Actions Tab, click on the "go to page view in another document' under the actions part of that tab (bottom portion of page), then click on Edit... it will open a 'Target Document' window and in the top portion click on 'open in...' drop down box and select 'new window'.... close out and SAVE!
Hope that helps! -
Help...Button action can't remove a panel and bring a new panel
I have a Search_panel in a frame within that Search_panel when you press continue button, it should remove the old Search_panel and bring a complete new tab_panel. but the funny part if i put the code inside jini() works fine, but if i put it inside the press button action it removes the Search_panel as I want but it doesnt paint the new tab_panel.
Does someone know why?
Thanks

private void BringTabs()
jPanel1.remove(mySearchPanel);
jPanel1.add(myTabPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
contentPane.repaint();

Simple button to play symbol....?
I have a symbol "NA". It is an animated map that scales up and then back in place when closed. I have added a button to the main stage to play this symbol with the following code on the "click" event:
sym.getSymbol("NA").play();
What am I missing? Something, because it doesn't work for some reason.
Simple button for a simple mind?
Any and all help would be appreciated.Hi OneHorse,
I've uploaded a file showing my above code working. Instead of just using "play", I'm telling it to play from a label: play("in"). If your "NA" symbol has autoplay unchecked, there may be some weird action when you tell it just "play()".

Simple Button to Control Movie Clip
Hello,
I was relatively comfortable with AS 2.0, but am having a
hard time warming up to 3.0. I feel that this should be something
simple to find help online with, yet I'm finding it difficult to
get a simple answer.
I have a button that is inside a movie clip within another
movie clip:
mainMenu_mc > whoBtn_mc > whoButton
This button appears to work fine controlling a movie clip on
the same timeline. This is the code so far (on an Actions frame in
WhoBtn_mc):
whoButton.addEventListener(
MouseEvent.CLICK,
function(evt:MouseEvent):void {
whoGlow.gotoAndStop("click");
I have another movie clip on the main timeline that I would
like to control with this button:
blackFadeBottom_mc
What would the code look like for this?
Any help is appreciated - Thank you.Thanks, I was able to place the code on the main timeline and
get a trace when I clicked on the movie clip instance itself. I
probably didn't explain what I was trying to do very well, so I
apologize.
What I need to do is to control this movie clip that is
physically placed on the main timeline (fadeBlackBottom) with the
button that is buried under two other movie clips
(mainMenu_mc>whoBtn_mc>whoBtn).
I would like the whoBtn to tell the fadeBlackBottom movie
clip to (what used to be)
_root.fadeBlackBottom.gotoAndPlay("play"); This will drop down a
box that will contain the content of my 'Who' link.
How can I accomplish this?
Thanks again,

How to use the cases in button action?
Hi Experts,
I want to get a prompt message if the field is empty.I got it but at the same time if the field is filled I want the other action to be performed that is to call a BAPI and give me output.How can I give two events for the same action.
How to use the cases in button action?
So, please guide me.Urgent need
Regards
NutanHi Nutan,
if I understand you, then you have a simple validation. Therefore you can use the validation functionality of VC for your components. An alternative could be by writing a new ABAP RFC function module like:
BAPI Input parameters as input and BAPI output parameters as output and an additional return code or string for a message:
IF I_FIELD IS INITIAL.
E_RETURN_CODE = "THE FIELD IS EMPTY."
ELSE.
CALL FUNCTION <YOUR_BAPI>
<BAPI PARAMETERS>
ENDIF.
I hope that helps.
Best Regards,
Marcel -
Value set in constructor is not getting saved in button Action method

Constructor is doing the right job only. But I do not understand why in button action I am getting the First Value only.
public Page1() {
// <editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc="Creator-managed Component Initialization">
try {
if (getSessionBean1().getIntValue()%2==0)
button1.setValue("BidNow");
else
button1.setValue("Accept Invitation");
getSessionBean1().setIntValue(getSessionBean1().getIntValue()+1);
log("In Constructor Button Value : "+button1.getValue());
} catch (Exception e) {
log("Page1 Initialization Failure", e);
throw e instanceof javax.faces.FacesException ? (FacesException) e: new FacesException(e);
// </editor-fold>
// Additional user provided initialization code
public String button1_action() {
// TODO Replace with your code
log("In Action Button Value : "+button1.getValue());

Can u explain the reason for thisHi Sudhakar,
Please try the following and you will get an idea as to what is happening:
1. Drag and drop a button, 2 outputText components
2. Add a property to the session bean called intValue of type int. Customize it to set it's initial value to 0
3. Add the following lines of code to the constructor
outputText1.setValue("" + getSessionBean1().getIntValue());
getSessionBean1().setIntValue(getSessionBean1().getIntValue()+1);
4. Double click on the button component to go to the button action method.
5. Add the following line of code
outputText2.setValue("" + etSessionBean1().getIntValue());
6. Save and run the application
7. Watch the values of outputText1 and outputText2 with each click of the button
Also, try the application with the following code block in the button action method:
if(getSessionBean1().getIntValue()%2==0){
button1.setValue("Bid Now");
} else{
button1.setValue("Accept Invitation");
getSessionBean1().setIntValue(getSessionBean1().getIntValue()+1);
outputText1.setValue(button1.getValue());
outputText2.setValue("" + getSessionBean1().getIntValue());
When the above code block is in the button action method the values set to button are as expected.
Hope that helps
Cheers

Simple button script not working
I am using AS2 and need help figuring out why this simple button script is not working:
stop();
buttonWS1.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndStop("Stage1and2_Boss",4);
buttonWS2.onRelease = function(){
nextFrame();
//end
My buttons are the square letter-puzzles below. They are images that I converted to "symbols" (specifically, buttons). I put their names as above (buttonWS1, buttonWS2, etc.) in the "instance names" boxes.
I have no idea what is going on. Please help!Hi -
1. Yes, buttonWS2 is the instance name
2. The only code attached to it is the code I pasted above.
3. onRelease does not execute because my trace statement does not appear in the output
Here is the modified code for buttonWS2:
buttonWS2.onRelease = function(){
trace("clicked!");
nextFrame();
Question: It shouldn't matter if I have commented-out code within that set of codes should it?:
buttonWS2.onRelease = function(){
//if (puzzleschosenarray[0] == 2 || puzzleschosenarray[1] == 2) {
// cannot be chosen -- make button non-functional
//else{
//puzzleschosenarray[roundnumber-1] = 2;
trace("clicked!");
nextFrame();
