I'm having a weird issue where my buttons will work initially and direct me to an appropriate page, but when i go back to that page and try to use the buttons the roll-overs work but none of the buttons direct to a different page.
This is the actionscript on the initial page with the buttons. If I choose any of these buttons they work. For example the profile_btn will take me to the go_to_page"
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
//button instancese listed below
profile_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aClick);
function aClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay("go_to_page");
}
color_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, cClick);
function cClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay("color_page");
}
drawing_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, dClick);
function dClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay("drawing_page");
}
letsgo_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fClick);
function fClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay("home_page");
}
//go to flash fish animation
digital_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onMouseClick2);
function onMouseClick2(e:MouseEvent):void
{
var request:URLRequest=new URLRequest("aquarium2.swf");
navigateToURL(request,"blank");}
//go to resume document
resume_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onMouseClick3);
function onMouseClick3(e:MouseEvent):void
{
var request:URLRequest=new URLRequest("LeahHonseyResume.pdf");
navigateToURL(request,"blank");
once at the go_to_page, it plays through a motion tween and ends up at the profile_page. from this page, there is a home_btn. Here is the actionscript for the profile_page.
stop();
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gClick);
function gClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay("return_frame");
}
But when I click on the home_btn I get an output:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at flash7_fla::MainTimeline/frame38()
It does take me to the correct page, but none of the button then on this page are working. the actionscript for the return_frame page is:
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
//button instances listed below
profile_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, hClick);
function hClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay("profile_page");
}
color_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, iClick);
function iClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay("color_page");
}
drawing_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, jClick);
function jClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay("drawing_page");
}
letsgo_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, kClick);
function kClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay("home_page");
}
//go to flash fish animation
digital_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onMouseClick4);
function onMouseClick4(e:MouseEvent):void
{
var request:URLRequest=new URLRequest("aquarium2.swf");
navigateToURL(request,"blank");}
//go to resume document
resume_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onMouseClick5);
function onMouseClick5(e:MouseEvent):void
{
var request:URLRequest=new URLRequest("LeahHonseyResume.pdf");
navigateToURL(request,"blank");}
Can anyone help me figure out why this script is not working? Thank you. I am a beginner flash user, and am trying to build my portfolio site for a homework assignment on Monday.
