How to make Actionscript 3.0 Buttons in Flash! - READ DISCRIPTION Part 3/3

Here we'll top the entire tutorial off with some coding! Welah!

Here's the coding we used, but I suggest you memorize it. Copying and pasting code isnt very professional.. :

//Home button code

homebtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1);
function btn1(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop(2);
}

//Anim button code

animbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn2);
function btn2(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay(3);
}

//Site button code

sitebtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn3);
function btn3(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.youtube.com/user/mcvdigital"));
}

NOT READ THIS!
SOME CODE MIGHT MESS UP! IF IT DOESNT WORK WATCH THE VIDEO AND TYPE IN THE CODING. THE REASON WHY IT MESSES UP? BECAUSE OF THE DESCRIPTION. IT MIGHT CUT SOME OFF BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF THE DESCRIPTION BOX!

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.

[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]

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

please please answer

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...
