[Xerte] Button using swf flashes on screen

[Johnathan Kemp]

I have just completed a page with two buttons that display using the
same swf.
 
Initially the first button is displayed, when you click on this button,

*	
	some text is displayed
*	
	the first button is made invisible
*	
	the second button is displayed

When you click the second button 

*	
	the second button is made invisible
*	
	the text is made invisible
*	
	an image is displayed

This is achieved without flicker
The interaction structure is as follows. The final script sets up the
initial visibility requirements for the page, the button scripts then
change visibilities as required.
 
Interaction (perpetual = 0)
  Button1
     Script (button2._visible = true; text._visible = true;
button1._visible = false;)
  Button 2
     Script (image._visible = true; text._visible = false;
button2._visible = false;)
  Script (image._visible = false; text._visible = false;
button2._visible = false;)
 
I don't know if this will help you resolve your problem
 
Kind regards
 
Johnathan

Hi Paul,

I did use the rs as a target to make the button visible again:

prev_button_rs._visible = 1;

When I want to hide a graphic element, I use iconID.fade('out',  .01);,
then fade it in when I want to reveal it: iconID.fade('in', 1);

 

For a button, you'll probably need to use the rs property instead of the
id property.

I'm not sure what's happening here...?

 

You have a swf button, set to be invisible? Not sure I've ever had a
button set to invisible - I personally don't like to hide and show
buttons, prefer to enable / disable them, but maybe that's just me...

 

But if its set to be invisible it ought to be invisible - i.e. not
flicker... probably a timing thiig in the engine, as it probably waits
for the button to load before setting the visibility, hence the flicker.
I'll look tomorrow.

I have set the visible prop to 0 for that response, but I get a
momentary on-screen flash of the swf before it hides.
Expected behavior or I've sequenced something wrong?
