how old are u

[andre178usa]

The best tutorial. you took a classic program that changed into a hard to use application and simplified it. You explained better than any other book i have read on the subject. And i love the way you explained it. You was articulate, expressive and you kept the viewer attention.

[eyfeldman]

how can i delay.

like you press a button but the object will appear in 4 sec.

please please answer

[RavenKnight11]

Thanks! The hardest thing for me in migrating to AC3 was figuring out how to reference items on the stage without attaching code to them... problem solved! ^_^

[VipClubberDotCom]

THIS IS A GREAT DEMONSTRATION BUT CAN SOMEONE SHOW ME HOW TO DO THIS FOR AN ACTUAL F4V MOVIE AND NOT AN ANIMATION! CAN SOMEONE MAKE A TUTORIAL TO PLACE A PLAY / PAUSE BUTTONS ON F4V MOVIE? IT IS WITH THE F4V MOVIE IMPORT WHERE I GET IN TROUBLES WITH TIMELINE. THANKS IN ADVANCE...

[Benmen776]

Hey here is my script stop ();

Start_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1);

function btn1 (event:MouseEvent):void{ gotoAndStop(2);

}

// exit button

Exit_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, btn2);

function btn2 (event:MouseEvent):void{ gotoAndStop(3) ;

}

and I get an error that it can't detect the Exit_btn instance in there, but it clearly is, what should I do?

[Benmen776]

@Benmen776 Wow I changed the name of the instance and now it is fine.

[joeriez]

Wow thank you so much

I have searched yesterday the whole day to find something like this!

And it works PERFECT

[hmongdude1985]

Thank you for the helpful Tuts! by the way do you post flash videos on Newgrounds?

[ImJustSayin9]

I don't really know how to thank you..

I wasted all the day looking for solution and found it here..

you should work for adobe man #LOL

[TYPO58]

Thanks so much for this tutorial...you saved my computing life.

[NatsumeRyu]

Great tut. :) I'd have to agree with the pixelizer though, sometimes stop(); doesn't work - but that's mostly do to small errors elsewhere in the code. It's weird. :P

[fronkkkzz]

thnx man!!

[lumbimbi]

Very well explained. 

[ocarrace]

WOW thx man i only knew how to make a actionscript2.0 button

this helped a lot

SUBBED

[iAmMasterF]

yes mate u saved my ass! LOL i have a flash assignment to do at university and this has help loads THANK YOU SUBBED! :)

[mcvdigital]

@iAmMasterF Aha glad I could help!! And thanks for the sub :D

[movie627]

@mcvdigital Lol im eating a sub right know xD

[brad159357]

i fucking hate coding... so much...

[thepixelizer]

Why is it when I type the "stop();" code it rarely ever works when I play the movie? I've heard that it doesn't work when it is placed with a button code is that the reason?

[mcvdigital]

@thepixelizer Of course! You can't put a Stop(); code in a button! Are you trying to tell the button to stop? Nah, but you want the Frame to stop, correct? So taking a lucky guess, I think you'd have to put the Stop(); code on the frame. Hmm..

So click on the Frame, and press F9 and then type in your Stop(); code there, and like magic, I guarantee it'll stop.

[yantzkieboy]

can you help me how can i integrate my code on my flash to my visual basic.. just like when i try to click a button on my flash it pops up a form from my visual basic..

thanks ..waiting for you mr,,

[mcvdigital]

@yantzkieboy Haha, sorry man, I don't get what you're saying.

What's a visual basic?

[yantzkieboy]

@mcvdigital ... visual basic .. just like java... i will rephrase my question.. what is the code inside the image button to use it visual basic..

[IceBarragex]

@mcvdigital its another program u can code stuff on

[1baconftw]

@mcvdigital

Thanks dude! took me ages to find a good guide.

[TheGamemaker5]

Thanks that was very very very helpful and once again thankyou

[angelacssdy]

thank you so much

[SuperDuper8iest]

Thanks! Great video. You are a excellent teacher. This is the easiest explanation of this freakin AS3 that I have seen yet.

[austin10050]

Thank you so much!

I was working on my final for 2D animation and the code was giving me such a hard time. I was used to coding the buttons directly like you did in action scrip 2.0.

Thanks for reminding me how to code in action script 3.0

Great videos :) Very helpful!!

[mcvdigital]

@austin10050 No problem!

I'm just glad I could help you out, because not being able to code buttons directly freaked me out the first time XD.

Hope you do good on your final!

[austin10050]

@mcvdigital

Yea my final went great. The only code I had trouble with was making a side bar that can scroll up and down. When you click on the thumbnail picture on the side, the corresponding text should be on the side bar.

I had the code from another assignment, I just had trouble implementing it into my project. I have 100% on all my assignments so I'm not worried if my final didn't come out perfect.

I'm running out of characters so ill make a another post to finish the rest... lol

[austin10050]

@mcvdigital

Continuing on my last post....

This is my first class using flash and one thing that I realized is that coding the action script can be troubling because it is to picky. XD

This semester is over now and summer break is here!!!

During the summer my plans are to create some more flash files that I can use in a signature on my forums.

I plan on getting to better understand action script code and how it works.

Thanks again for your help :)

[mcvdigital]

@austin10050 No problem! :D I'm just glad everything went well.

[applepedro77]

Man ... thank you... very nice and well explain... saludos from Spain... :)

[alinbyronbay]

Like many I've recently come back to Flash and was having trouble with Actionscript 3.0 until I came across your video. Thanks very much for posting a clear concise tutorial and keep up the good work.

[mcvdigital]

@alinbyronbay

I really appreciate you comment man, glad you enjoyed it!

Saludos from Texas :P

[AnimeGameMaster]

I simply want my Flash button to link to an HTML site. Maybe even a the index.html file. (in same folder)

How would I make it link if I was making a web site banner? (Home,Contact Me, etc)

[mcvdigital]

@AnimeGameMaster

" I simply want my Flash button to link to an HTML site"

Uhh, isn't that in the video?

[MyCreativeGenius]

Thank you! I'm one of those sad long time flash users suddenly bewildered by AS3. I use flash almost daily, but found myself feeling like a total newbie today. I've been trying to do something all day that I could code in my sleep in AS2 without any luck until I saw your code and adapted the syntax for my needs. Virtual cake for you, good sir.

[mcvdigital]

:D I luvz me some virtual cake!

[theslaven62]

yes this has helped out alot. i'm in a new PBL class at North Daviess High School and it pretty much blows i'll tell you that. But thanks

[thisuseridistaken]

This is the first Tut that actually worked for me, thanks so much.

[Kirbyman4994]

wa'ts btn1  ?

[mcvdigital]

btn stands for button.

on the second line of coding for the buttons you see it changes to btn2 for the 2nd button.

[GillbertSupernova]

Hi there,

I have been using your site button code and i was just wondering is there a way to get the webpage to load in the same window?

thanks

[mcvdigital]

Do you mean load on the same browser page?

Or do you mean on the flash file? (Because to be on the flash file will take alot of coding).

[specialkate00]

how do i make a button if i have a picture as a background; it makes a button underneath...?

[mcvdigital]

click te background and go to

modify → arrange → send to back

or if it doesnt work, click the button and go to

modify → arrange → bring to front

hope this helps :)

[specialkate00]

thank you dear!!!! i will try it right now, i will add you to favourites, as you know what you are talking about.
