Simple button AS help

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, Jim

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.

  • 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 applet help

    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

  • Simple button help needed!

    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
    craig

    I 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...

  • 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();

  • 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,
    Chuck

  • Simple button in AS3

    hello everybody,
    in my website I have a simple button that should trigger at
    every click a different frame. Browsing the net I have found the AS
    for the simple button (attached code) that works for a sigle click.
    Would please tell me the AS to give to the button the
    function described above??
    thank you so much

    My line would replace the gotoAndStop(2) that you had in your
    previous code. But I'm not sure that it is what you want. The code
    I gave you will tell the thing you clicked on to go to frame 2 and
    only to frame two.
    I think you are trying to do something different that what I
    thought. I think what you want instead of your gotoAndStop() line
    you just want
    nextFrame();
    Of course you might want to do something special when you get
    to the last frame so you might want to add something like:
    if(currentFrame==totalFrames){
    next.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, release);
    next.alpha=.5;
    That would go just after the nextFrame(). That checks to see
    if the current frame is the last one and if so removes the click
    handler from the next button and makes it transparent so it looks
    disabled. (That could be done in a lot of fancier ways, but this
    was just to give you the idea.)
    Does that help?

  • Adding Image to Simple Button Dynamically Using AS3

    Hi,
    I need some help trying to figure out how to dynamically add an image (PNG or JPEG) that I can place in the library to a simple button also dynamically created in AS3.
    Is there a way to (1) add the image instead of using a text label and have it centered in the button?
    Here's the AS3 for the simple button without the image (currently uses text label but would prefer if possible to substitute an image for the text:
            var mc2:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
            mc2.addChild( bgRed2 );
            mc2.addChild( txt2 );//currently uses text label; would prefer to use an image istead of text
            var mc2a:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
            mc2a.addChild( bgRed2a );
            mc2a.addChild( txt2a );currently uses text label; would prefer to use an image istead of text
            var clearBtn:SimpleButton = new SimpleButton();
            clearBtn.upState = mc2;
            clearBtn.overState = mc2a;
            clearBtn.downState = clearBtn.upState;
            clearBtn.hitTestState = clearBtn.upState;
            clearBtn.x = 0;
            clearBtn.y = 0;
            addChild( clearBtn );
            clearBtn.x = 55;
            clearBtn.y = stage.stageHeight-clearBtn.height;
    Any help appreciated.

    assign your image a class name (eg, Img1). you can then use:
    var img1D:BitmapData=new BitmapData();
    var img1:Bitmap=new Bitmap(img1D);
    cleanBtn.upState=img1; // for example, button's upstate is the image.
    // if you wanted some background and the image centered on the background, create your background (sprite or movieclip), use addChild to add img1 to your background and center it.  then assign your button's upState etc to be your background

  • Simple button not functioning?

    I've been staring at this code for an hour. Maybe I need a break? This is a very simple button that just won't accept my touch events.
    I have a movie clip. It's instance name is "boardA." The name of the symbol is "letterA" and it is linked to a class file called "Letters" (which is properly linked, I checked).
    This is the code in the class file:
    public function Letters() {
                this.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, createLetter);
                trace (this.letter);
            public function createLetter(e:TouchEvent): void {
                trace ("You clicked it!");
                trace ("eName = " + e.target.letter);
    Yet nothing happens when I click the button. The constructor for the file never executes.
    I even moved the touch event to the main frame "boardA.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, createLetter)" and it still didn't work. Nothing when I touch the button.
    What am I missing here?
    Thanks
    Amber

    No. Letters.as is in com/freerangeeggheads/spellmaster. It's linked as such - here is the text.
    The base class is: com.freerangeeggheads.spellwhiz.Letters
    The class is: letterA
    When I click the green check box it tell me it can find the class, and when I click the edit class button it takes me to the proper script file.
    I also have the file imported into my main frame.
    This is the Letters.as file:
    package  com.freerangeeggheads.spellwhiz {
        import flash.display.*;
        import flash.events.*;
        import com.freerangeeggheads.spellwhiz.*;
        public class Letters extends MovieClip {
            public var letter:String = "";
            public function Letters(): void {
                this.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, createLetter);
                trace (this.letter);
            public function createLetter(e:TouchEvent): void {
                trace ("You clicked it!");
                trace ("eName = " + e.target.letter);
    Thanks!

  • Simple Button Hit Zone not working

    I am somewhat new to Flash CS4 andt am having a problem making simple buttons in Flash CS4 on a Macintosh: I have made a few buttons with a graphic and can go into them and successfully create the Up, Over and Down stages of the graphic. Then when I create a new box for the hit state (which is larger than the graphic and I have deleted the graphic itself from the hit state) it doesn't want to appear correctly when I test the movie. When I test the movie, the hit state is correct everywhere around the graphic (to the bounds of my hit state box), but is not active where the graphic is. When I go under the Control menu, down to Enable Simple Buttons, the hit zone looks great right in my Flash file, but when I preview it or publish it and look it on different browsers (PC and Mac), I don't get my pointer right over the actual graphic, but get it everywhere around the graphic to the boundaries of my hit box. Why can't I get the actual graphic to be a hot spot in this situation? I have tried leaving the graphic in the hit timeline, and tried putting both the larger box and the graphic in the hit timeline, and still can't get them to respond correctly with the pointer in the browser window. Thank you....

    Well, since the graphic itself doesn't activate my pointer in a web browser, I thought maybe I needed to add both the box and the graphic itself to the hit state. That's what has me puzzled - the box that I use for the hit zone is "active" everywhere but where the actual graphic is...

  • Simple button problem

    I am having a real problem creating a simple button - I have
    created a Flash file using Action script 2, and when I create a
    simple button - text with a rectangle as a background, (see
    http://www.elkhavenestate.com),
    and the over state is behaving in a bizarre fashion. This is my
    first time using CS3, so is there a new control that I'm
    missing?

    I take it that it's the Home button. It appears to have a
    selectable text field or something in it, which is causing the
    problem. Either change that to a static text field or set its
    selectable property to false. The other two buttons appear to be
    fine, so maybe you can just duplicate one of them and turn it into
    the Home button.
    If I picked the wrong button, let me know.

  • Simple Button.Text not changing properly

    No warnings in the code but the error is: 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' and I thought I did, obviously not in the right way.

  • Can't get Simple button to Load Movie Clip

    Hi I've looked around for the answer to my question on this
    forum
    but havent found it so here it goes. I am working on this
    company's
    Flash site that was built by an outside studio. I am using
    CS3.
    The url to the site is
    http://www.bubbakeg.com.
    (this link will take you to the main page click the shadow
    graphic
    on the left under Bubba and this will take you to the site I
    am speaking
    of. The site is basically 5 different pages or movie clip.
    What I am
    trying to do is basically change the "Spring Break" middle
    graphic
    (which is a Movie Clip) on the HOME page and add a simple
    button
    that will direct the user to a new page. When I replaced the
    graphic
    with a new Movie clip there was no problem but I have added
    a
    button to load a new page (movie clip) and nothing happens.
    This
    button is in the movie clip of the new graphic which is
    called up
    when the page loads. If i take this button and just put it
    on the
    Main Stage in Scene 1 by itself it works and loads the page
    (movie clip). It does not however when it is embeded in the
    Movie
    Clip. The Flash site is basically 5 different Movie Clips
    loaded into
    an "Empty Clip". This empty clip has a timeline with each of
    the
    clips labeled and with their respective sized placeholders.
    And
    when you click on either the links on the Nav bar or the
    graphic
    for each page it loads that movie clip on the main page. It
    seems
    like the button only wants to work on the main timeline. I
    have
    even replaced the code for the "Contact" button with the code
    for the new button and it worked (opening new page). Here is
    the
    code for the new button that does not work:
    on (release) {
    _root.contentHolder.myHeight = 307;
    _root.contentHolder.newLoc = 9;
    heightAnimation();
    I know the location and height from the above code are
    referring to the placement and sizing of each movie clip
    in the "Empty Clip". As i said before this heightAnimation
    and the resizing of the new clip works fine when the
    button resides in Scene 1 on the Main Timeline but not
    within the new movie clip (graphic Ive created.)
    I will upload the main chunk of the code that resides
    in Scene 1 on the first frame of the "Actions" layer.
    If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it very much!
    Please let me know if I can provide anymore info.
    Thanks!
    Greg

    change:
    function newLayerBT_CLICK(MouseEvent):void{
    to:
    function newLayerBT_CLICK(e:MouseEvent):void{
