I just want to ask you a question that as we have done jump to any particular movie clip by using telltarget in actionscript 2.0 but in as3.0 telltarget is no longer existed so, instead of using telltarget how can we jump to any particular movieclip,if the movieclip exists only in the library palette.

I have a movie clip on my stage with two keyframes. Each keyframe has an identically sized graphic in one of two colors. I want to trigger a state change between the two colors with a button click (preferably a button that isn’t visible on the stage). The code I’ve been using is below.

buzzerL is the MC that holds the two state keyframed element. The button triggering is named buzzbuttonL

on(release){
clicked=!clicked;
if(clicked)
buzzerL.gotoAndStop(2);
else{
buzzerL.gotoAndStop(1);
}
}

Any ideas on an AS3 solution. Looking at your previous notes, I’m guessing this will be sorted with MouseEvent handlers, but since I never had the AS2 working, I’m at a bit of a loss as to where to start in AS3. This is driving me crazy! Thanks…

I have a set of buttons inside of a movieclip on the main stage. From inside the movieclip on frame 1, I am trying to access a label on the main timeline. On this frame I have a video that I want to play when you arrive to the frame.
Here is my current code.

function getSpot(e:MouseEvent):void
{
e.target.parent.gotoAndPlay(cr);
trace(”Spot one here!!”);
}

spot1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, getSpot);

Here is the error I get:
1120: Access of undefined property cr.

I’m really stuck on this peace of code I have. I’m trying to get my button to open another browser. I have read the above post and still can’t get this thing to work. Here is the following code I have:

DialSoapImg_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, soapimgClick);

function soapimgClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var url: String = “http://www.dialsoap.com”;
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(”www.dialsoap.com”);

navigateToURL(request, ‘_blank’);

}

However, I keep getting this error:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at AtchleyDesign_fla::MainTimeline/frame190()

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

function gotoAScene(event:MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndPlay(”Scene 2″);
}
btn1sub1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoAScene);

I have a simple problem, but i for the life of me cannot solve.
I have a 3 page website. all i want to is link the buttons.

it loads fine. when i go to click on 2nd page fine. when i click back it opens in a new page. finally the 3rd page does not open at all!! heres the code I’m using

home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler1);
function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(”http://www.humper.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/index.html”) , “_self”);
}

serv_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler2);
function mouseDownHandler2(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(”http://www.humper.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/services.html”) , “_self”);
}

contac_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler3);
function mouseDownHandler3(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(”http://www.humper.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/contact.html”) , “_self”);
}

mail_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, contact);

function contact(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var contact_req:URLRequest = new
URLRequest(”mailto:face@btinternet.com”);
navigateToURL(contact_req, “_self”);
}

Thanks

Thanks for all the tips, you’ve been a lifesaver. However, I have a problem I can’t seem to work out. I have an AS3 slideshow which is loading individual swf files from an xml file. I want to put buttons in the swf files and make them work from the main movie. I used the code provided to make the buttons work in the child swf files but nothing happens when I click on the buttons from the parent.

Sure there must be a problem with heirarchy or something but I’m stumped. Hope you can help
