RE: [Flashcoders] movieclip actions not working
I was able to get it to work by deleting the m1 button event handler
function, however, the button event handler for m2 cannot be executed
before m2 actually exists, and since it comes into existence on frame 20
of m1, the button event handler function must also be run on frame 20 of
m1.

thanks for the help. If you say it can never work, then I assume it can
never work... I'll do a little rethinking as you suggest and use the
oldstyle buttons where needed.

That is why your code wont work.
paste this over your current code
m1.onRollOver = function ():Void
{
this.gotoAndStop (20);
};
m1.onRollOut = function ():Void
{
this.gotoAndStop (1);
};
m1.m2.onPress = function ():Void
{
trace(HI)
getURL (http://www.cnn.com;, _blank);
};
as you will see the trace(HI) will never fire because the m1 button
movieClips hit area will expand to the total size of the movieClip.
rethink your setup, this will never work despite all the help in the world
have you tried that Byron, and does that work for you? I've tried it
here,
and makes no difference at all...
strange that such a simple thing is so hard to solve...

Re: [Flashcoders] movieclip actions not working
could you show us a sample of how you are coding this? it seems like a
very simple thing. and as it turns out, there is about 4 ways i
could think of doing it right off the top of my head.
whats not working? the link to the site? the rollover to frame 20? the
more info you give us the easier it is to help.
Ben Deroo wrote:
that's not it, does not work.
on what timeline are you putting your actions? I've tried on the main
timeline and on the m1 timeline (which is what I think you mean) but
both don't work.
here's my description again:
create a new movie
create a blue square and make that a movieclip symbol , name it m1,
create a red square and make that a movieclip symbol , name it m2,
drag a copy of m1 to the stage and give it instance name m1
open m1 and add some frames to the timeline (50 or so, does not matter)
stop action on frame 1
stop action on frame 20
at frame 20 (of the m1 timeline), drag a copy of movieclip m2 on the
stage, name it m2,
place it just below the blue square
I want the following to happen:
when a user rolls over the movieclip in the main timeline (m1), I want
the m1 timeline to advance to frame 20. You should then see a blue
square and a red square.
When a user clicks on the RED square (m2), I want them to go to a
website (http://www.website.com)
anyone?
thx,
Ben

RE: [Flashcoders] movieclip actions not working
Hi, The action on the m2 movieclip does not work, it will not launch a URL. I've posted a sample fla file here: http://www.citogrid.com/v3/images/fla/whynot.fla all actionscript is in the first frame of the main timeline. Remember, I ONLY want the URL to be launched when clicked on the red box. Sequence should be: launch the swf, mouse over the blue box, see the red box, click the red box and a URL should launch. So the m2 movieclip should trigger the getURL, not the m1 movieclip. I agree with you, it should be simple, and I can do it, but I'd like to do it using only movieclips and no buttons. That's where I'm stuck :-) thanks, Ben -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of a Sent: zondag 19 maart 2006 10:10 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] movieclip actions not working could you show us a sample of how you are coding this? it seems like a very simple thing. and as it turns out, there is about 4 ways i could think of doing it right off the top of my head. whats not working? the link to the site? the rollover to frame 20? the more info you give us the easier it is to help.

Your first button event handler has already intercepted the mouse event.
The button event handler nested inside is therefore ignored entirely.

All my code does is terminate the interception of the button event by the

As was asked before, where is the code for the second button? Is it on

by the time the button event handler function is created?

RE: [Flashcoders] movieclip actions not working
Hi,
the code for the m2 is on the first frame of the main timeline.
I'd like all code to be on the first frame of the main timeline.
also, to avoid confusion: there are not button instances, only movieclips,
as you can see in the fla file. There are no code errors (according to
flash)
I'm sure what your code does is fine, but it does not achieve the set
goal... when I click on the movieclip m2, I'd like a URL to be launched.
does anyone know how to do this?
thx,
Ben

if thats the case you should have a movieClip that contains your buttons
in the library. Set its linkage then attach it under your m1 movieClip...
_
|| m1 - main button
menu_mc - library linkage
_
|| button1_mc // these are all instance named in the menu_mc clip
in the library
|| button2_mc
|| button3_mc
m1.onRollOver = function():Void{
var subMenu:MovieClip = attachMovie(menu_mc, menu_mc, 100); //
grab the menu from library
subMenu._x = this._x+this._height; // set the menu._x to the m1's x
location plus its height
subMenu._y = this._y; // set the menu._y to the m1's y location
}
maybe something along those lines?
Yes, something like that, but i wanted:
a) only use movieclips
b) all actionscript in main timeline in frame 1
I can and have done it plenty of times using movieclip and regular buttons,
no problem. Wanted to try something new, guess it was a bad idea :-)

what are you trying to achieve with this anyhow? a drop down menu type
of system or what?
thanks for the help. If you say it can never work, then I assume it can
never work... I'll do a little rethinking as you suggest and use the
oldstyle buttons where needed.

ben, you cannot have a button inside another button...
That is why your code wont work.
paste this over your current code
m1.onRollOver = function ():Void
{
this.gotoAndStop (20);
};
m1.onRollOut = function ():Void
{
this.gotoAndStop (1);
};
m1.m2.onPress = function ():Void
{
trace(HI)
getURL (http://www.cnn.com;, _blank);
};
as you will see the trace(HI) will never fire because the m1 button
movieClips hit area will expand to the total size of the movieClip.
rethink your setup, this will never work despite all the help in the world
have you tried that Byron, and does that work for you? I've tried it
here,
and makes no difference at all...
strange that such a simple thing is so hard to solve...

Actually try this, instead.
m1.onRollOver = function(){
delete this.onRollOver;
//this.play();
this.gotoAndStop(20);
}

RE: [Flashcoders] movieclip actions not working
that's not it, does not work.
on what timeline are you putting your actions? I've tried on the main
timeline and on the m1 timeline (which is what I think you mean) but
both don't work.
here's my description again:
create a new movie
create a blue square and make that a movieclip symbol , name it m1,
create a red square and make that a movieclip symbol , name it m2,
drag a copy of m1 to the stage and give it instance name m1
open m1 and add some frames to the timeline (50 or so, does not matter)
stop action on frame 1
stop action on frame 20
at frame 20 (of the m1 timeline), drag a copy of movieclip m2 on the
stage, name it m2,
place it just below the blue square
I want the following to happen:
when a user rolls over the movieclip in the main timeline (m1), I want
the m1 timeline to advance to frame 20. You should then see a blue
square and a red square.
When a user clicks on the RED square (m2), I want them to go to a
website (http://www.website.com)
anyone?
thx,
Ben
