Simple button function issue

Why won't this work?
meta_nav.bm0.onRollOver = function () {
meta_nav.bm0.gotoAndStop("state2");
I've double checked to be sure all instance names and frame
labels are correct. And have tested the same function with bm0 on
the _root level, and this works fine:
bm0.onRollOver = function () {
bm0.gotoAndStop("state2");
What am I missing to call a function to an MC nested within
another MC?
I've also tried this:
_root.meta_nav.bm0.onRollOver = function () {
_root.meta_nav.bm0.gotoAndStop("state2");
And this:
_root.meta_nav.bm0.onRollOver = function () {
myNodeButton = _root["meta_nav.bm0"];
myNodeButton.gotoAndStop("state2");
No luck.

Hey Michael, you're very close the solution yourself. Instead
of trying to addressing scope in a absolute fashion (_root), try
the relative approach.
When you nested this videoclip, _root does not point to this
movieclips timeline anymore, but to the root of the movieclip it is
nested in. See it as that you added a ground level story to your
house, lifting the old house, and see the front door as something
on root level. In this case, you do not want to take the stairs
down, but remain on the first etage.
this.meta_nav.bm0.onRollOver = function () {
this.gotoAndStop("state2");
try tracing some this-es to find out what scope your current
function has.

Simple button function

New to Flash: I have a simple two frame doc. I want the movie
to stop at the first frame, wait until the button "jackets_btn" is
clicked, then go to second frame and stop. This is the code I wrote
which doesn't stop at first frame:
stop();
function jackets(event:MouseEvent) :void
gotoAndStop(2)
jackets_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, jackets);
Thanks for any insight
Gretchen

if that code is on the first frame of your main timeline it
should work without problem.

Can someone help me with a somewhat simple button function?

I am working on a project and a small part of that project is creating a counter increases by one everytime a button is clicked. For example I have incuded a picture of a much simpler version of what I am doing. For some reason I can not get the code right so that every time you click the grey rectangle the text increases to one and then two and so on.

Get this code in your composition
In Compostion ready event :
sym.setVariable("counter",0);
In the click event of the Rectangle have this code :
var counter = sym.getVariable("counter");
counter++;
sym.setVariable("counter",counter);
sym.$("Text").html(counter);
In the above snippets the text field is reset to 0 whenever you refresh or reopen the page.
Hope this helps you

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 not functioning correctly?

The button functions correctly, but for some reason when I launch the flash page, the button shows up with the alpha at 50%. I narrowed it down to the var elasticTween3:Tween = new Tween(my_box,"alpha",Strong.easeOut, 0.5, 1, 1, true); line of code, but I need that line to fade the alpha from 50% to 100% when mouse out occurs. Am I missing something??
Below is my code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(my_box, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 1, 0.5, 1, true);
myTween.stop();
var elasticTween1:Tween = new Tween(my_box, "x", Elastic.easeOut, 35, 45, 1.5, true);
var elasticTween2:Tween = new Tween(my_box, "x", Elastic.easeOut, 45, 35, 1.5, true);
elasticTween1.stop();
elasticTween2.stop();
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,hover);
function hover(e:MouseEvent){
myTween.start();
elasticTween1.start();
elasticTween2.start();
var elasticTween3:Tween = new Tween(my_box,"alpha",Strong.easeOut, 0.5, 1, 1, true);
elasticTween3.stop();
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,out);
function out(e:MouseEvent){
elasticTween3.start();
elasticTween1.start();
elasticTween2.start();

make sure that code executes exactly once. ie, that frame shouldn't be re-entered. use the trace() function to confirm, if you think you've prevented re-entry.
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(my_box, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 1, 0.5, 1, true);
myTween.stop();
var elasticTween1:Tween = new Tween(my_box, "x", Elastic.easeOut, 35, 45, 1.5, true);
var elasticTween2:Tween = new Tween(my_box, "x", Elastic.easeOut, 45, 35, 1.5, true);
elasticTween1.stop();
elasticTween2.stop();
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,hover);
function hover(e:MouseEvent){
myTween.start();
elasticTween1.start();
elasticTween2.start();
var elasticTween3:Tween = new Tween(my_box,"alpha",Strong.easeOut, 0.5, 1, 1, true);
elasticTween3.stop();
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,out);

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 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?

Cross-Browser (BASIC Functionality) Issue - Need to boot to Windows in parallels to use the websites I need - PLEASE HELP!

Hey Everyone,
Let me lead with my system specs. If you need more info, please let me know and I'll be happy to supply them. I'll be sitting by my computer all night, glaring at my Snow Leopard Install Discs and hoping that you guys don't say that the only thing left to do is a clean install of SL, then re-upgrade to lion.
So, a few months ago, I noticed that certain components on websites wouldn't work. They would be pretty basic - simple buttons at first. Then certain submission forms wouldn't process. Then, recently, there has been a complete loss of video playback on certain websites. And the final straw, the Vuze software update button will not click through.
In order to work around these browser break downs, I've had to launch Linux/Windows 7 or 8 (depending on wether or not I wanted to make myself even MORE frustrated by using metro) to do my web browsing.
Here are a few examples. Again - ALL these websites work in other operating systems.
Groupon - via http://www.groupon.com/subscriptions/new?division_p=philadelphia
The "Continue" button does not function. It will depress on click, and highlights on mouseover, but it will not lead to the next page.
A Picture is Below.
Math Warehouse - via http://www.mathwarehouse.com/quadratic/quadratic-formula-calculator.php
This site houses a calculator for the quadratic formula and other nerd tools - but essentially, just a standard forms with fields. Clicking the "Solve the Quadratic Equation" button does not work. In fact, in this case, mousing over causes the pointer to turn into a text curser.
Picture below.
Vuze - Internal App
Clicking this button does nothing. Nothing at all.
I've posted a similar thread when this first happened, where I included activity monitor and consol logs, but no one could make heads or tales of them. one guy even said there was nothing wrong.
i know steve jobs said that macs were the best hardware around for running windows. I don't think that this is what he meant.
Any and all help, is really, really appreciated.
Thank you,
Bernie

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

Button Function Failure on Adobe Content Viewer

Why do the button functions work well the first time I view them on my iPad's Adobe Content Viewer but do not function properly in subsequent viewings?
For example, the next page buttons work flawlessly during the first viewing on the iPad. But from the second time they functions awkwardly. The Next page button on Page 1 stops functioning. The one on Page 2 takes me back to Page 1.

Same issue-- and it's been a few weeks now. As far as I can tell it is a waiting issue
This is from Page 68 from USING DIGITAL PUBLISHING SUITE
help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/.../digitalpubsuite_help.pdf
Last updated 3/23/2012
Use the iPad Viewer to preview content
The Adobe Content Viewer for the iPad is a generic version of the viewer used for testing the digital content you create on the iPad. The iPad viewer is updated whenever the Folio Producer tools are updated.
Note: However, when a new set of tools is released, folios you create with those tools may not work properly until Apple approves the new viewer version. If you try to open the folio, a “Please update your app” message appears. If you have a Professional or Enterprise account, you can create a custom version of the Adobe Content Viewer. See
“Create a custom Adobe Content Viewer for iPad” on page

The question is how do i do a plain html page with a

ie the button pressed event is that it opens a pop up
window with my form in it.Ahh, I see. In that case, do as pgeuens suggests.

Changing simple button color

It would seem as if this would be simple, but I'm not finding
any documentation.
I have a map of the US. Each U.S. state is a simple button.
I'd like to change the button fill color (and potentially, the
outline color) in AS3. I've created the buttons in Flash, not in
AS3 (just graphically). How do I change the button fill color?
Sample code:
function addButtonListeners(btnInstance:SimpleButton) {
btnInstance.addEventListener( MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,
handleRollover);
btnInstance.addEventListener( MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,
handleRollover);
addButtonListeners(Montana);
addButtonListeners(NewMexico);
addButtonListeners(Washington);
Montana._color = 0xA6CsDA; //doesn't work

I also tried this code, but I'm getting the error message:
Access of possibly undefined property rgb through a reference
with static type flash.geom:ColorTransform.
Source: color.rgb = 0x00ff00;

Why do button functions included in external actionscript not persist across frames?

this one drives me nuts!
if i include an external actionscript file in frame one of my
movie, then [as you'd expect] all the functions, global variables
etc contained in that external AS file are available throughout my
movie - with one notable exception.
if i add a button to the stage - in a frame other than frame
one - whose onRelease handler is defined in the external AS, the
function is not called when the button is clicked - i have to
re-include the external AS file again on the frame in which the
button resides, in order for the buttons function to be called.
anyone know why this is - and if there's a way round it?
how come all the other functions in the AS persist across all
frames and all timelines in the movie, but the button handlers only
seem to be available on the actual frame in which the AS file is
included?

I think you and I are dealing with similar issues and the
root cause is referred to as "scope." The only difference between
your and my problems is that your code is in an external as file
and mine is on the timline. But in both instances, code that should
work doesn't. Robert Reinhardt has covered this in an article at
http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=8E4DF.
He is the author of the Flash Actionscript Bible series and so
knows what he is talking about. I have been studying it for an hour
and darn if I can understand the second page of it. I've asked for
help myself about this at

Creating a simple button in CS4...I'm missing something

Okay....I'm just trying to create a simple button to test. I create a square, convert it to a button symbol. I click on the button and open the Actions window. The window says "current selection cannot have actions applied to it." Have I missed a step? I can add an action to a keyframe okay, but when I click a button, even just a simple button, it will not allow me to add an action to it?
Anybody know what I'm missing?

again, you cannot attach code to objects in as3. you are going to attach code to a frame or you're going to create external as files/class files and i'm pretty sure that will be a bigger jump out of your comfort zone than attach code to a frame.
you've already given your button an instance name (mybutton), so attached to the first frame that contains mybutton, in the actions panel paste the following:
