  • thx..its working..

    but i got this

    WARNING: Duplicate label, Symbol=skrin, Layer=content, Frame=1, Label=a

    im running on cs5 pro

  • I am new to using CS3 and have followed all steps. I have no errors in the final coding but when previewing, it flickers as if a script is stuck. Please help.

  • i followed the steps and am getting an error on the cs4 version.

    1076: Syntax error: expecting left parenthesis before the identifier.

    i tried adding paranthesis before and after and every other variable possible but it doesnt seem to work it only adds more errors.

  • hey just a simple question when pressing f6 for script, what is it for mac?

  • You and the NewBoston should put your genius together and take over the world, in tutorial form Thanks for all your efforts, be cool.

  • thanks, great tutorial

  • okay, problem has been solved...

  • i got this: "access of undefined property..." (...pages) i use the cs5 version of flash, and i did that what you show in the video. Anybody have some idea what was the problem? many thanks...

  • hey man,

    awesome tutorials.

    I just had another question about links. In this tutorial you divide the webpages into separate pages with different content. I made a couple of buttons in my content pages and was wondering how to link them? In other words, on my about page, I have a different button that I want to link to a separate part of the site, a part that would only be related with "about" nothing else.  How would i do this?

    thanks for your time

  • @flashbuilding Hey, i get an error that says "access of undefined property pages".

    What does that mean? What am i doing wrong? how do i fix it?

  • Hey great tutorials, have been following a few of your tutes and wanted to say thanks. This tutorial worked first time, however I have tried nesting the buttons within a movie clip and I'm pulling in error #1009 Cannot access property. Is there a way around this? Thanks for your time!

  • So many steps..geez. Flash is hard.

  • great tutorial, but if you don't minfd I've hit a bit of a brick wall. I tired to combine this tutorial with your tut about audio movie clip buttons yet when I put the two codes together (the actions from this and the rollover actions from the other) it merely plays my animation continuously and does not allow me to click, I'm sure there is something I'm not doing right but any help would be just awesome,

    thanks.

  • ALT Drag stop action frame 

  • senin upload ediceğin videoya sokayım sana sokayım

  • @flashbuilding Get your head out of your ass! haha I love you man, subscribed.

  • Comment removed

  • you can also do ALT+Drag to coppy something

  • @flashbuilding ahahah 5wymiar got told!

    thanks flashbuilding, awesome tutorial man, keep em coming :D

  • boring 

  • I say respect for making the time and effort to make the tutorial.

    I found it useful and people having digs because its not as advanced as they would like should just try another search on youtube, you dimwitted tools

  • Please help I´m in cs4 and getting

    1120: Access of undefined property pages.

  • @flaminglonewolf yea im getting the same thing and im using CS5.

  • i could show it in one line of code,

  • thanks for this Tutorial^^

  • @slaterinnit hey, i have cs4 too and it work right, amazingly if you new the trouble i have been with trying to learn this damn program. i have had things happen to be like that with other sites, check to make sure you have all the butttons as buttons, and all the movie clips as movie clips. this could cause the button flashing. also check your code cause it is very sensitive, has to be exactly right. good luck

  • @slaterinnit i had the same problem...it is definitely different for CS4..im done with following tutorials of CS3 claiming that it works for CS4...it clearly doesn't and just adds to my frusteration...they are similar fundamentally but when your following step by step the shit just doesnt work out

  • thanks for the tutorial, very helpful. u make it so easy

  • You lost me bud....

  • I deleted my comment becouse It was a bit to much unpleasent. but i still claim that you could do it much better. you know, if you're searching some specific information and you have to deal with tut like this you waste to much time. but, you're not the onley one:) some kid in tut saied that to choose menu item you have to click left mouse button once on the item. if you treat people like an idiots somebody could think you think they are

  • @5wymiar learn to spell.

  • your source files just saved my life!thank you so much

  • Once again a great vid. These are one of the few vids I would watch for a half an hour :D could you maybe give us a tutorial on how to put these flash websites live on the internet? Because that is my main goal, I just don't know how to put it into an HTML document. One more thing is how do you make a scroll bar? I have seen them in some other flash templates just couldn't figure out how they did it. Thanks! Great vid though 5/5

  • @flashbuilding Awesome comment lol. Although I agree with 5wymiar that it could be somewhat shorter.. he's the perfect example of people that are never happy with what they're given. flashbuilding just gave you a tool. He didn't have to.. but he did it anyway to help others -- including you. I prefer longer tutorials than a secretive SOB that doesn't share anything. Oh and it's "annoying", "your", "been", "without", "changing", you "were". Seems to me like you *need* to be taught a lot of stuff.

  • Cheers man i just started using flash for web design two days ago and from watching your videos i have already the makings of a solid website. Once again thanks keep up the awesome work!

  • nice tutorial... but pls put on hot to make buttons when clicked stay in color till another button is clicked

  • a very nice and helpful tutorial keep it coming.

  • it works great! thnks man... but i have a problem, i tried to use this method 2 times, so i did an internal movieClip and some pages. with the same structure i did some buttons to go to the 2nd level pages but it doesn't work and i get

    "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

    at index_buono_fla::pages_1/frame­3()

    at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoA­ndStop()

    at index_buono_fla::MainTimeline/­onBtnClick()"

    could someone help me?

  • Im using CS4 and i have followed everything you have done, and when i get to the point when i need to enter the stop action i cannot. It says "current selection cannot have actions applied to it." any help would be awesome. I know you putting these up to be nice and dont have to respond but any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • hey i really like this toturial but i wonder if you can show me how to get the codes to put it on myspace layouts and all that can you text me thanx

  • I'm getting error 1120

  • Guys I did exactly the same thing and I am getting this error

    Please help

    Error #1065: Variable Pages is not defined.

  • Comment removed

  • I'm getting an error :( Could I email you the flash file so that you can help me please? I really want ot complete my website :)

  • I think @5:55 you mean press F9 not F6, for a newbie like me it was quite frustrating but thanks anyways for making a pretty comprehensive video.

  • did the coding write but when i press ctrl enter it keeps running in loops and its telling me i have an error on my first line

  • thanks!!! :D

  • ok help

    I followed instruction but in cs4 if you press f6 to add "stop" for the motion tween ... the timeline just adds another moment. You can not add anything to the action script. what am I doing wrong??

    just to be clear I am talking about the the tween on the button for the Upclick

    thanks

  • I have a question.

    I'm working on a menu right now, just to test stuff out.

    I've got some buttons with text in them.

    The button itself and the text in it are in the same Clip.

    The text has a glow (not very important)

    I let the fade in at 'Up' and fade out at 'Down'.

    So i have 7 of them now, but the problem is: because the text and the button are in the same Clip, if i change the text in 1 button, the text in all the other buttons change too.

    How can i stop this without making 7 seperate buttons?

  • but1 and but2? xD

    For CS4 users: In Cs4 Motion Tween is not calles Motion Tween but Classic tween. A little difference.

  • Excellent!! :D

  • im currently experiencing problems with line 6. The stop function is not working the pages are shifting on without clicking. I keep geting this message "*error* scene 1, layer 'as3', frame 1, line 6:1120:access of undefined property pages." I followed your instructions but im stuck here.

  • @frank712c : Did you give the right names as arrays and does all the page names match?

  • I got exactly the same problem/... did you find something out?

  • I got it dude... dont change in the program the word btn for anything. btn is inside the program for recognized which are the buttons. thats why it dosent work here

  • I have the same problem 1120: Access of undefined property pages. PLEASE HELP :( I FOLLOWED ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS SO FAR

  • @frank712c Did you figure this out? Am having the same issue.

  • Thank U! It works! subbed!

  • Comment removed

  • wow that's so helpful! thanks so much! but how do you do this in AS2? i have some contents actions already in AS2... well either way, this is still really awesome for my next project! =D

  • Comment removed

  • LOL @ YOU 5wymiar

  • @5wymiar If anything could have been done differently, it's recording his voice after the project has been created, thus making it easier for himself to prepare what he's going to say. But I cannot see why that would be a "must do" since he is willing to share his knowledge free of charge, as most people today would have your money for it.

    Even if what you've learned is but a fraction of what you anticipated, you should be grateful that he spent his time on sharing his knowledge with you.

  • @ikaros0000 haven't you see some of that 'most funniest ... compliation' on youtube which was a collection of dump not funny pictures? weren't you disappointed? didn't you want to write in comments that it wasn't funny? well, someone spent his own time to try make you laught, and he didn't have to do it. otherwise why can't i say my opinion just becouse he did it voluntarily? you don't fight with my arguments but with my opinion.

  • @5wymiar What an incredible comparison! Youtube picture compilations. Wow, who would have thought? Yes, those of picture compilations are very similar to the ones of free knowledge. Here, I'll make a comparison of my own. The next time you're served cake, as a guest, at someone elses home, be sure to spout negative shit about the cake before you walk out the door. And if they find your gesture to be rude, be sure to make your amazing opinions the headline of your argument. Way to fail twice.

  • i have the same problem....it's not the CLICK, thing...its on line 6 thou the variables are right...could you post the scrypt pls for download???

  • thanks dear. But there is one prb.... I made everything word by word as per your video, but the stop function is not working( thew pages are shifting on without clicking when i play it??

    Please help me?

  • Mine did the same thing. on MouseEvent.CLICK, I followed the work CLICK with a dot instead of a comma. I changed it and it fixed my problem. Hope it helps you! GREAT TUTORIAL!!

  • Comment removed

  • wow nice job

  • please help me...you know how to create a button where you click on it and it switch to the next scene?

  • wow! i have no words to admire your work... keep it up dear...

  • Just want to say Thank you to Adam for the tutorials on all things AS3. Free education is a great gift. Please don't stop doing these wonderful teaching vids. I have learned so much it's hard to wrap my head around the many ways of using these skillsets in Flash. Thanks again!

  • thx for the tutorial ^^

  • Comment removed

  • hey there, could you make a tut for inserting a contact form in the contact page of this site in cs4, i tried to do it with another 1 of your form tuts but failed. please man.

  • mate, this was dope, you are THEE, man..... where do i go from here and how can i put this into dreamweaver to finish off styling these pages? or is that it? cheers...

  • Thanks for this great-looking and simple technique. It looks wonderful and the coding is so tidy.

    I'd like to point out something that I ran into, though.

    If you're NOT beginning this method on Frame 1, it seems like you have to place the buttons at least one frame before the coding takes place, and refer all "gotoAndStop()" or "Play()" commands to that frame. It's almost as if the code needs the buttons to exist first, before the script can function properly.

  • Hi. Great video :) I have a question. You mention about animating the content in another tutorial. I want to make a website like this. But want the content come from below and Stop. when the user clicks another button, I want the content slide down and the clicked button's content slide up and stop. Do you have tutorial like this? You will save my life if you have :)) Thanks again for this great video :))

  • honestly been searching everywhere for this.. where have you been... great job

  • how can you make button on down state if you clicked on it? then goes back to default when you clicked another button.

  • Fuck...I give up with trying to make this work on CS4...I wish I still had my god damn cs3 2 hours wasted trying to figure out the buttons and shit

  • I figured it out when you right click select classic tween!!!

  • Nice vid, but pls help someone. Why doesn't work in any other browsers than Internet Explorer after when it published to the net??

  • i work on Cs4 and it worked just fine,

    the only difference was the color tween part,

    i had to add another layer to type the action.

    but nothing else was different ....

    now i'll take it to my project and i hope it works with all the animation in it ... :)

    wish me luck.....

  • WoW Great

    This's very clear , Thanks

  • Just did this with CS4.

    Only difference I had to make was when tweening the colour change for the buttons. Had to convert to frame by frame animation so I could add the stop action to the last frame.

    Brilliant tutorial. Thanks a million.

  • @BraveSirRobin86 And thank you for helping me with my flashing buttons problem :D

  • Can you please explain how to do this in CS4. And if you cant do this in CS4 please tell us.

    thank you

  • Thank you, really helpful...

  • Thanks for the explanation. It worked really good for me and I had never used flash before!

    I do have a question, though. Can I use the same type of buttons inside the content pages?

    Because I was able to do it in one, removing "pages" from void; but I can not do it in 2 different pages. It doens't seem to work. Any hints? thanks again!

  • Thank you~

  • In CS4, the motion tween doesn't seem to work and I can't add the stop action.

    Can you give us a short paragraph telling us how to fix these two problems?

    Thanks =)

  • Problem Im running into is the buttons.

    I made the buttons in flash as 'buttons' [up, over, down, hit] states.

    So the button is white, rolls over red, clicks and is blue...but does not stay that way. [I want it to stay blue once Im on that 'page', as it were.]

    What I have is an art gallery, where Im pulling in xml scrolling thumbnails and larger picture image...and when I click on button I need it to stay blue, any ideas? Thanks :)

  • An easy solution is to have the "up" state of that button on that frame to be identical to the down state. that way it will look as if it stays down.

  • Thank you so much!! I was looking for this for so long, I really thought it was hard but you made it very clear to me, now I can get a good grade. I'll be sure to thank you and check out other tutorials you made.

  • Hey,

    Just wanted to thank you for sharing your skills and teaching us how to be better AS3 scripters... I do however have a ? for you. How do I construct so that the transitions are smooth from page to page? Meaning instead of abruptly going to the next page have them fade in and fade out to those pages.

    Hope you can help me.

  • I just made a new tutorial a few days ago covering that...

    Hope it helps.

  • could you post a link. you have so many tutorials it is hard to wade through them all.

    thnx

  • it keeps on saying current selection cannot have actions applied to it

  • whenever i do it , it doesnt let me add the stop action

  • It doesn't understand the action script Stop();

  • Why is my button beating like a heart? Lol.

  • How to save the Buttons for Photoshop?

  • please do a cs4 version, and if you do let me know thnx.

  • is this possible in cs4? its not working for me...

  • Great vid. I've actually created a menu system using mostly all code before. I'd like to become an expert with AS 3, so I will continue practicing it but these little short cuts are handy.

    Thanks

  • Great Tutorial! After about 45+ minutes and inventing some rather interesting obscenities, I finally had successful results. Now to go wash the ol' mouth out with soap...

  • The button, as it turns out when I do EXACTLY what you say, it just gives me a loop...

  • WHAT IS DIFFERENT WITH CS4 I HAVE TRIED TO USE THE CODE AND EDIT IT FOR MY SITE BUT I CONTINUES TO GIVE ME ERROR MESSAGE NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I CHANGE THE INSTANCE nANES

  • Wow you sound pissed o.o

  • naw not pissed i just hoped it would make my message stand out a lil more. i ahd to use the other code cause i could never figure it out. i have basicaly learned alot of what i know from these vdeos.

  • This lesson was just what i needed for my own website!

    Awexome!

  • how did you ccombine all the buttons and pages into one keyframe

  • each is on its own layers

  • Fantastic tutorial!!!

  • What would have to be different in CS4?

  • Interesting tut, I'll use this for my next site :-D.

  • thanks man, your work incredibly well, there are few sources that engage seriously AS3 code.

    You Rock!!!!!!!!!

    ;)

  • Thanks for the tutorial mate, you are like the first person with famous online channel who actually replies his comments, good to know you're not anti-social!

    Nick

  • Thank you sir... It is because I am a real person and not a con artist... but I can see why the big ones don't have time to reply to everything... it gets harder and harder to see it all and reply the more popular you get.

  • i alredy known that waaaaaay before when i was learning flash

  • Prove it...

  • How?

  • lol, that sound familiar...

  • "How you like that?"

    Woo hoo! wonderful stuff. :)

  • tanks thunder...
