In this video we will learn how to communicate with and use buttons in Flash CS3 using Actionscript 3.0. There have been some significant changes to the way flash deals with buttons etc… but this video will solve your problems! We will cover editing a symbol’s alpha, navigating a time line, and linking to a URL or Website on the web via your flash button. Check out http://www.tutvid.com for more great videos!

it should be this…
bClick{event:MouseEvent}:void{
You forgot the colon between event and MouseEvent.
Also, the “b” in “bClick” stands for the button B. The function “bClick” is something he made up himself. If you called it “jumbledmessthatmakesnosense” and referred to that function properly, it would still work.

is actionscript 3.0 like better, cuz i dont see much a difference between 2.0 and 3.0 except 2.0 has suggestions when you put a braket.
then again, i havn’t really used 3.0

thank you!!!!! this was so helpful…i couldn’t understand 3.0 at all until this.

Ah yes….or CTRL+SHIFT+F12
Looks like it’s a 2.0 website…that would explain why it’s a little slow…lol
It’s pretty cool though…check it out at Alchemy-Illuminated(.)com

i have only been successful using 2.0 but not 3.0 yet.

Just go to file > publish settings > “flash” tab and you’ll see on the actionscript drop down menu whether you’re 2.0 or 3.0

press F9 to open the action frames. And let me know if you find out how to make the URL open automatically at the end of the intro movie

missing the period between the add.EventListener

How do see if my script is written in 2.0 or 3.0? I bought a pre-made flash site template that’s pretty nice. But I don’t know which version it’s written in. I have Adobe Flash CS3 though.

It is, but it’s slower. The new ASVM2 machine blows AS2 rendering out of the water.

Why do you need to import the MouseEvents in the first line?
I write eventListeners for buttons all the time without importing MouseEvents.

are we going to add addEventListener even to movie clips or only to a button ? and one more thing do you have some special tutorials about AS2 and 3 ? you really great in explaining how to work with them ,, keep it up pls thanks a lot
February 28th, 2007 at 12:55 pm
huuuuuuuum sounds good but AS3 really complicated i got some problems using it I think AS2 really easier
March 2nd, 2007 at 12:37 am
also does addEventListener replace the if statement in as 2.0
March 2nd, 2007 at 3:33 pm

Help. I got the script in but when I test the movie I get this error:
WARNING: Actions on button or MovieClip instances are not supported in ActionScript 3.0. All scripts on object instances will be ignored.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
