If you want to know how to make the button work with different mouse clicks (click and drag, release outside, etc) I suggest you check the tutorial on Creating a flash ad banner from start to finish, where the different possibilities of interaction with the mouse are explained along with the notions of events and event handlers.Ħ With the button still selected, open the Actions panel again, and replace the line with the stop() command with the following (the modified code is shown in bold): Nothing will happen until you release it.
#Flash actionscript 3.0 movie
The code we entered literally tells Flash: “When the mouse is pressed and released over this button, begin playing the movie from the current frame.” Now, why did I say pressed and released? Well, position your mouse over the button, click it, but don’t release it. Now press the button, and it will continue, reach the end, start from the beginning and stop again. Test your movie, you will see the animation, which will stop in the middle, when it reaches the frame where we put the ActionScript stop() command. Click inside the area for code writing (the right side of the Actions panel) and typeĬlose the Actions panel. On top of the window, Actions – Button should be written (be sure to check that), indicating that you are entering the code on a button. This is important, because if you don’t select the button, you may accidentaly place the ActionScript code on the timeline, which will produce an error, because the ActionScript code intended for a button won’t work on a keyframe in the timeline.ĥ Press F9 ( ALT+F9 on a Mac) or choose Window > Actions and the Actions panel will appear. If you are not sure if the button is selected, click somewhere on the scene, and then click the button (once). Choose a playback-type button and drag it onto the scene.īe sure that the button is selected: lookm in the Properties panel below the scene and see if it says Button on its left side. Go to Window > Common Libraries > Buttons and you will see the Button Library appear. Basic interactivity with a buttonĤ To save time, we will put a ready-made button on the scene. So, let’s place a button in our movie that will enable us to start the animation again. Now, there is no way of making the animation continue, unless we place something in our movie that will make it possible (or delete the ActionScript we just entered, which we don’t want to do). Test your movie ( Control > Test Movie) and you should see it stop right in the middle of animation. That is Flash’s way of indicating that some ActionScript code is to be found on that frame. You should see a small letter “a” inside the frame 15 on the actions layer of your timeline. On top of the window, Actions – Frame should be written, indicating that you are entering the code in a keyframe. Press F9 ( ALT+F9 on a Mac) or choose Window > Actions and the Actions panel will appear. ActionScript cannot be placed inside a button! Thanks everyone! Your insight is most welcomed and will be appreciated.In a Flash movie, ActionScript can be placed in keyframes on the timeline, on movie clips, inside movie clips (on movie clip’s own timeline) and on buttons.

Question - Is there, and if there is, what is the function to make all movieclips stop playing? I suspect I will be having a lot of frames (therefore a lot of movie clips), so individually coding each back/next button per frame for one specific movieclip is a bit of a hassle and proving to be buggy at this stage. Issue - When pressing back or next button, movieclip audio does not stop and it overlaps to the next or previous frame!ĭesired outcome - When clicking the next or back button, it will stop 'any' movieclip that is playing prior to moving to next or previous frame. There is a back and next button to go between the frames on the main timeline. Each movie clip has audio and a seeker bar. I was hoping someone could share some AS3 knowledge with me
