View 1 RepliesI want a button to show and hide a movieclip (see attached files for source) the Button is a Movieclip and has been coded using a tut I got from some where but I am stuck on how I can get it to do the show and hide part <edited part> forgot to Add that I also want to make a Text box say Grid On and off
[Code]...
an example of a show/hide a movieclip with a listener. That is, i was planning to have a boolean flag variable showSubMenu and if it's true the submenu will be visible and if false it's hidden???
View 2 RepliesI've been looking on google, but I have found nothing at all on this, which is surprising as it is very simple to make (I have done it in AS2).I was to have a button that can hide a movieclip. Then another button which will show it again.
View 8 RepliesI am new to flash parameters but from the research I could find so far it seems that this should be fairly simple. I have a flash file that has a movie clip in it. In this movie clip there are two movie clips. What I need to do is show a one movie clip and hide another. I basically only need to set up the reading of the flash parameter code in flash...
var imageToShow:String;
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
This is basically what I have... I'm not sure what to go on to next or if this is even correct.
Code:
if (parameter == "image1") {
image.image1.alpha = 1;
image.image2.alpha = 0;
}
I want to hide my mouse and instead of the mouse I want to see a movie clip that I created. How do I attach it?
View 6 RepliesI was looking to make 2 buttons; one that hides a movieclip that is playing on a slide, and one that shows it again. I've heard theres a few ways to do this but none of them are making much sense to me (i previously made some buttons that play, pause and stop a movieclip, and I think I am stuck in the wrong frame of mind to do these next 2 buttons...) How to tackle this task.
View 2 RepliesI just did a button and 3 movieclips. What i want? Well, when i click on the button to change the movieclips. click 1 = movieclip 1 when i click again on the button it change to movieclip 2 My problem is that i can`t make so it can change to movieclip 3.So when i click it must be something like this> click 1 = movieclip1, click 2 = movieclip2, click 3 = movieclip 3 so on...
[Code]...
I want to ask how to show/ hide movieclip by one click in the same position of the mouse cursor .
The idea is that i have 10 square shapes and i want to click one of them to put a small circle inside the square and do the same with the other squares .
I have a movieClip that a user can click on to hide/show a different movieClip (for this example, lets say its a circle). I have an 'onPress' on that movieClip that tells it go and play the next frame inside itself movieclip (there are two frames which just have different graphics to represent off/on) and also the line of code to hide the other movieClip.
The problem is that if a user clicks on the movieClip to hide the circle and then keeps their mouse in the exact same position and tries to click again to show the circle, nothing happens... they have to move the mouse at least a little bit before it will recognize it is being clicked again. The same thing happens with buttons I have that scroll the page... which is extremely annoying since you can't just click the same spot multiple times, you have to move your mouse a bit and then click again.
Several arrays are created by passing a number (k) from a different array,for every item in the array I need to have a little dot.I have a movieclip on the timeline with a maximum of 15 dots.So if the array has only 6 items, the last 9 dots should dissapear.
PHP Code:
function fill_items(k:Number) {
var item = josXML.firstChild.childNodes[2].childNodes[k];
[code].........
But the dots_total[t]._visible = false; part isn't working...Maybe it's the wrong way to achive this, but i can't seem to figure out why it's not working.
How do I hide a datagrid and then show it?I have a button to select. The button when clicked should show the datagrid. Once the user clicks a cell on the datagrid, it should hide again.

1. I've downloaded the Source for MX included in the "Hide/View the Scrollbar Component" page of It simply doesn't work when I open the file and publish it. I'm using Flash MX 2004, ... has anyone experienced the same problem and solved it?2. I've been able to set the scroll visibility with an external dynamic text using several procedures. One of them is:
SB1.setScrollTarget(_root.Texto1);
if (Texto1.maxscroll > 1) {
SB1._visible = true;

i wanna do a flash that reads an xml, in which the xml tells my flash to show or hide movie clips (they have instance names).
Code:
//added in the frame
var elights = _root.mc_elights ;
var logo = _root.mc_logo ;
var croom = _root.mc_croom ;
[code]....
i however, want to do this via xml, so that i could have my programmer colleague create a php to call for this database.
I'm not happy with my hide/show function..... the code works, but I think it is a waste of space on my stage that I need two buttons to hide and show a movieclip... there must be a better way

I want to hide the mouse after some period when there is no mouse movement (i.e. 5 seconds), and then for the mouse to reappear when the user moves their mouse again.
View 1 RepliesI have a flash map. There are 6 clickable countries on the map. When one clicks on a country I want html content to appear under the flash movie. As far as I can see the best way to accomplish this is to have all the content already under the flash movie each in a separate div, with display set to hidden. Then action script inside the country buttons calls a javascript function on the html when that button is clicked, to set display:block for corresponding content filled div. I've tried a few scripts but couldn't get it working.
<code>button_kenya.onRelease = function ()
{
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("kenya");
};</code>
Is there anything else i should do when imbedding flash into my page so that the flash can talk to the html and call the javascript?
I'd like to be able to have an array of movieclips where i'm able to toggle their visibility depending on what button has been pressed. I would need to have a default movieclip that is visible and all the others are hidden, but then when I click a button to make one of the other movieclips visible the default one is hidden etc.You can see an example of what i'm trying to achieve at http:[url]........I'm experienced in PHP and HTML but have not used flash for several years so i'm pretty rusty. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
View 5 RepliesFlash in general so this is probably above my skill level. Basically I have 3 movieclips, called random1, random2 and random3 for the sake of this.I want, at the start of the frame to pick one of the three objects at random, keep that object visible, and hide the other 2
View 2 RepliesI need to progress. [URL] The Adobe documentation assumes you are an expert with Flash and there are no clear cut examples of how to even show and hide a darned button, well, I can't find any referrences. I can imagine what I want to do with flash, but getting anything out of it cracks open my brain. Programming is not fair!!! for us graphic artists. Examples of things I want to study are loading images to the stage on a specific event such as "if(enterFrame == x)" ideally I would like the images to load from a directory on the server and ease in the image.
Basically I want to keep it simple yet effective. Alot of the code I see out there is double dutch to me and appears to go in the wrong direction of simplifying things. I can understand the basic fundamentals, but I wish when people post examples like myMC1.visible = true; that they explain that myMC1 is just a name chosen by the writer to look for an item called myMC1 or go the extra step and color code the code BLUE for actual code, RED for names of items given by the writer that exist on the stage etc etc...

I'm trying to show and hide a sub menu. So what I want to do is for the sub menu to show up and stay up if certain buttons are clicked, but disappear if other buttons are clicked. I've got an array of the sub menu. If any of the buttons are clicked from the sub menu array, it should stay.
var subMenu:Boolean=false;
This is my sub menu array:
var arrSub:Array=[m8_mcButton,m9_mcButton,m10_mcButton,m11_mcButton,m12_m cButton,m13_mcButton,m14_mcButton];
When a button is clicked, I want to check to see if the sub menu is showing and to check which button has been clicked. This is the code I came up with, but unfortunately, doesn't work...
function onButtonClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
for (i=0; i<arrSub.length; i++) {
if (subMenu && e.currentTarget!=arrSub[i]) {
arrSub[i].y=-130;
subMenu=false;
}}
url...Is there a more effective way to consistently show and hide a textfield? or is there a smarter class to use like MovieClip or Sprite?I've tried all 3.This configuration of the two functions shows the message box once, but fails to hide. [code]Alternatively if I don't set the alpha in showMsg it show once, hides once, but fails to show again.It's like alpha can only be changed once and then it fails to change after that:[code]

I am looking to implement a search text box as follows:When user starts typing in and there are non-zero results, the text box will open up and display the results below it. When the user selects a result, the text box closed, but this time with a down-arrow (like a combobox) so that the user can re-open the list.I suspect what I really need is a combobox with ability to hide/show the down arrow. How do I do this in Flex?

I am working on an application where I need to basically have 2 separate screens and I need to be able to switch between them. I am a total noob to Flex & Flash and I have not found anything on how to do this in my 2 days of Googling. It really shouldn't be this hard to do!
Here is what I have tried. I created a Flex Project and added 2 MXML Component files called Test1 & Test2 and each simply have a button in them which have a label of Button1 & Button2 so I can see if the correct component is showing. Below is the button code in the Test1 MXML Component file[code]...
I want to show/hide a symbol (movie clip) when i mouse over/out another symbol (button) and also want to move the movie clip as motion of mouse by attaching to the mouse... for this.. i think i have to use startDrag action but i am confused how.
if i use action on button like:
on (rollOver) {
startDrag("abc");
}
on (rollOut) {
stop();
}
where "abc" is instance name of movie clip it will do the work but it doesnt give effect of appearing and dissapearing the movie clip when i mouse over the button.
