You want to make a button in flash using AS3? It’s easy!

1)MAKE SURE you’re movie clip has an instance name!

Also, please please please make sure you’re dealing with an actual “movie clip” and not a “button”.

The next step is to go to the Actionscript layer (you should have a layer label “actionscipt”, “as”, or something of that nature to hold all of your actionscript) and insert the following code:

instanceNameOfMovie_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nameOfFunction);

function nameOfFunction onClick(event:MouseEvent):void

{

trace(“You just made an event handler to handle mouse click events!”);

}

And you’re done! You’ve made a movieclip that acts like a button with event handlers!

Now, some of you may ask, “Why not just use a button?”. The reason, the gives you more flexibility, and this is your first step in learning how to control event handlers. There may be times when using a button may be more appropriate, but for now, this is the way to go.

You can see a list of what other “Events” can be paired with the “MouseEvent” listener here. Experiment!

Football season is about to get going again, so what better way to get inspired than by looking at football based websites! (now that i think about it, there’s tons of better ways…hmmm)

Here’s what I like about this design.
1) It funnels you to either play the game, or sign up for the game
This may not be the “designer’s choice” way of how to design “Call to Actions”, but for a game that is relatively new that’s success as a company is going to depend on how many people are playing/sign up

2) Consistency in the UI
When you jump from the site to the actual game, there’s no jarring jump in terms of the look.

3) Well design psychologically pushes to the user
When i logged in today, here’s the first thing I saw

Yeah, yeah, there’s banner ads, but there’s also positive re-enforcement to be a return visitor. I got points just for logging in (much like how achievements work).
Also, notice that the colors or that area are different than the color scheme everywhere else in the site. SMART. I’m GOING to see this, hopefully come back, and then Quickhit has more returning visitors, to barter for more “Cash for Ads” from their advertisers.

There’s a ton more I like about this site (and the game itself! It’s awesome!), but I’ll shut up now and let you enjoy it for yourself.

Quickhit

I just can’t get this game out of my head…I’m practicing quater circles with my mouse….hitting the keyboard in chain combo fashion…tagging random people to start supercombos against babies…I can’t wait for this game!

Here’s some more wallpapers to ease the pain until it releases.:)
