Hi guys hope someone can help. Ive just got a simple button, on mouse over it clanges colour which all works fine and on the hit state i want to embed a movie clip that makes the button slide up like a tab. ive embedded a working movie clip but it doesnt work when the button is clicked. any ideas? im going crazy here! its in AS3 by the way
i’m not sure how to fix that, but i have a question for you if you don’t mind. how do you make buttons work with AS3?! I make the buttons. The roll over works (i don’t even know how to make it roll up like a tab… how do you do that?). But, i can’t add actions to it, so when the button is clicked, it will never go anywhere. do you know how to make them clickable with AS3??
yeah its all about as3. you need to put in the timeline of where the button is some code. Something like this:
var yourbuttonLoader:Loader = new Loader();
yourbuttonLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, youbuttonLoaded);
yourButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, yourbuttonClickHandler);
function armsClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
yourbuttonLoader.load(new URLRequest(“pageYouWantToLoad.swf”));
}
function yourbuttonLoaded(event:Event):void
{
addChild(yourbuttonLoader);
}
where you give the button an instance name and replace the corresponding text. this will open a swf in the current document but if yo get to grips with this you can tell it to do anything.
yeaaaaaa i definitely don’t understand any of that stuff, haha. thanks a lot, i’ll just have to learn AS i guess. i just wish flash had like a button for everything instead of having to know AS.
