Thank you very much!

[K8y91]

I'm having a similar problem to a lot of other people - following the tutorial exactly but the stop action doesn't seem to work, the tween just keeps looping and the symbol doesn't respond to any mouse action.. am I missing something?

I'm using CS5 not CS3 though, and it would only let me use 'Classic Tween' as Motion Tween generated an error and wouldn't work..

Good tutorial though, help on this would be appreciated :)

[gabrielirlanda]

THANK YOU LITTLE MASTER. Very useful.

[tf2tworules]

What did you say at 4:40

It sounds wrong

[labyrinth14]

Hi, i was trying to add another button like this to the same movie but it keeps looping the first one i made, any idea why?

[cristianplatanazo]

[Bajansilva]

homeBtn1.addEventListener(Mous­eEvent.ROLL_OVER,homeBtn1Over)­;

homeBtn1.addEventListener(Mous­eEvent.ROLL_OUT,homeBtn1Out);

function homeBtn1Over(event:MouseEvent)­:void{ homeBtn1.gotoAndPlay("over");

{

function homeBtn1Out(event:MouseEvent):­void{ homeBtn1.gotoAndPlay("out");

homeBtn1.buttonMode=true;

}

}}

that is my code SO WHY THE HELL AM I STILL GETTING ERRORS

[AcousticTim]

My button caused everything to loop.. is stop(); not working or am i missing something?

[K8y91]

@AcousticTim I'm getting the same problem... :S

[SuperRikstar]

YOLL M8 CAN U PLEASE MAKE MORE ADOBE HOW TO VIDEOS THE DIFFRENT AFFECTS AND STUFF

[Addle1618]

What if you roll out before the start animation finishes?

[WilligsPage]

understandable but it just screwed up my flash film

[RoxRon1]

Hello and thanks for a great tutorial.

I was wondering how I can use thisbutton to play another movieclip instead of opening an URL. I´m making a flash site and is a noob at as3.

Allso is there a way to unload surtain movieclips when the butten is clicked? Or go to to a surtain frame in the main timline (scene 1)

I have a menu with buttons using the functions in your tutorial. And I want those buttons to play separate movieclips (as pages). Or go yo a surtain frame in the scene 1 timeline

[RoxRon1]

Never mind... Figured it out :-)

[Metalaseylypse]

Actually never mind, I simply forgot to put a capital T on YouTube on the first line. It works perfectly now. Great tut keep it up.

[Metalaseylypse]

Hi Pong, I've typed in the code here in actionscript but when I test the movie in flash the button's tint simply flashes on and off because of the motion tween. It doesn't wait for me to scroll over it to change colors and it doesn't access the URL I put in the code. I copied what you wrote line for line...what's causing these problems?

[Lonni88]

The tutorial stop after 1.26 :(

[thornhark]

r u a boy or a girl????

[thornhark]

WOOOOOooooooooow was this to compliacated for anyone else????

[emyanuel]

very very helpful!Thanks a lot for sharing this tutorial.It worked perfectly.Good luck!

[Naresh7080]

Thanks dude. Very nice.

[uhgabyzinha]

Hi PONGStudios!

This tutorial has been super helpful... as a total newbie I was able to create a whole navigation bar with rollover effects. My only question is, how do I get about creating a link to each individual button in the nav bar?

Thanks!

[GaarasGaal]

ok, I'm a CS3 (basically COMPLETE) n00b.

seeing as you know this much, you must know how to do the thing (n00b term) where you click on something and it brings you to another specified frame?

--and then on that frame, you can click another thing--

Because I'm trying to make a Dating Sim for Deviantart, and I JUST downloaded this, i know NOTHING.

[thornhark]

@GaarasGaal i have that same problem i cant figure out how to do that!!

[wanderoars]

hi PONGstudios

i have problem here

in 05:21 my flash dosnt have "URLrequest" command

when i type U, its only appear "UIscrollbar" and "video" command

what should i do?

thx ^^

[wanderoars]

sry, i think the url request dont have problem with the program

can u just send me what should i type after that till finish?

i cant see the word clearly

(sry for bad english)

[zgtern]

Thank you, welldone

[zapatosnegros]

U r a lifesaver for those of you who have problems with the actionscript check for spelling that helped me big time. THANK YOU PONGstudios

[TableWolfMusic]

Hi PONGStudios,

In the description, I see you wrote instructions for us to write

btn.buttonMode=true;

Where should we write that? e.g At the screen you show on your video at 1minute, where you create the movie clip for your oval? Or when at around 1min30 you create an instance of it called btn? Or maybe on action layer keyframes?

I havent tried writing it anywhere yet. My button doesnt work. My flash project will publish but says: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

[PONGStudios]

@TableWolfMusic Apply the "buttonMode" method on the Actions layer (where you wrote the code.)

Also, make sure that the "button" is a MovieClip, and that it has an instance name of "btn."

If you have any further questions/problems, do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks for watching.

[crashmix]

LOVE IT! I was searching for this tut. so much!

[marionetadelplaneta]

Nice tutorial but very complicated for a noob like me haha

[Scurl123]

Do you know how to change the mouse cursor to a pointer when you rollover the button?

[PONGStudios]

Static text, in this context, just enabled the selectable-text-cursor (the thing that looks like a capital "I") to appear invisible to the user.

In fact, there are 3 different types of text fields: input text, dynamic text, and static text. Input text captures input from the user, dynamic text is a text field for the computer to input text (programaticly), and static text, as the name suggests, is just static - it doesn't change.

For more information, see the Flash Help File.

[timaging]

not sure why, but this isn't working for me.

[MannyFucksConquer]

Awesome i used this :0 thanks

[klorinsky]

Good tutorial but its much better to have the AS code inside the movieclip if you want to use this several times like in a menu. instead of refer to btn just make another AS layer in the movieclip and refer to "this" like:

this.addEventListener();

[PONGStudios]

Yeah, that is a good point. The code should be inside of a MovieClip. I didn't think about that when I made this tutorial.

Thanks for your feedback.

[CDNM101]

Hey guys... if you wanna know more about ActionSCript 3.0... just watch this video.. trust me... it's worth it!

[PONGStudios]

Thank-you for that kind comment :)

[022PHIL]

great tutorial!

[bavlondon]

Very well explained. I was looking for something like this. And the great thing is you explain what each line of AS means so I can apply this to other styles of animated buttons.

+1

[wiremanart]

thanks, but the rollover only seems to work once.

after the initial rollover only the out plays for me? thx for tutorial.

[markwd]

just what I was looking for, cheers mate

[sakuraness]

I'm amazed at the fluency with which you explain everything considering your age! I am so impressed with this tutorial. Thanks!

[PONGStudios]

Thank-you! Glad I could help!

[darpachief]

a lota work for some punk ass button...but hey....thats flash for ya...good vid btw.

[PONGStudios]

Thank-you. Hope this helped.

[Manifest222]

Thank you so much! I had no idea how to use AS3, and now I can remember how to do this by heart! Thank you so much again.

P.S. What recording software do you use? I make tutorials to, but I have iShowU, and I need a zoom in and zoom out thin, i too am using a mac.

[PONGStudios]

The screen recording software that I use is called Screenflow. It's much like Camtasia for the PC (if you've heard of it.) If I recall correctly, it is $100... or you can just torrent it, like I did:P

[tznuk]

how do i now take this "button" that I have made and insert it into another flash file so I can make multiple buttons, and insert them all along the side of my flash so when i post it to my page it is all one file?

[PONGStudios]

Your question isn't 100% clear to me, but I think this is what you're asking:

You can take the MovieClip and copy it, along with the "Actions" layer, into a separate Flash file (your desired Flash file). From there, you can duplicate the symbol: (Modify -> Symbol -> Duplicate Symbol). Duplicating a symbol keeps all of the properties of the symbol that you are duplicating, but distinguishes the duplicate symbol from the original symbol. You duplicate the MovieClip x amount of times and then save.

[RickyLyPLLC]

Nice lesson. Which recording software did you use? I like the features. Also, while you were typing the codes it was hard to read. Can I get the files? or a higher resolution video? Thank you.

[truther911]

thank you, helpful, concise and allows a good understanding of what is actually being done processor wise with the scripting. Go Canada! :D

[cluUser]

I don't know why, but it doesn't seem to want to let me post the address

[cluUser]

Thank you so much for this tutorial!!! I was able to change what you had to do what I wanted and I couldn't find help like this anywhere! One question though. I try to have one of my buttons link to a URL. It opens a new browser window, but then It adds "%00" onto the end of the address so I get an "Invalid URL Request" on a blank page. Do you know how I can fix this? In the end I'm just wanting to use the finished product as an swf file on a CD. Thanks!

[tutcafe]

Sorry man. I don't know how why that is happening. What website are you trying to link to and I will try it in my Flash.

[chumox]

but that button doesn't look like a button because when you put the mouse over the image... the cursor don't change

[crandybloody]

where can i copy that thing!!

[alexieldefanel]

Thank you so much for this! Trying to figure AS 3 on my own was giving me a headache, but you explained it all so well! Thank you again!

[PONGStudios]

Haha. Yeah, ActionScript 3.0 was very confusing for me, and trying to figure it out on my own was one of the worst decisions I ever made! Well, I'm glad I could help you out!

[nnn3556]

[PONGStudios]

Will do!

[bheatcoker]
