View 1 RepliesIf you put a carriage return (13) newline (10) sequence into a TextArea, it is automatically converted in the TextArea to two carriage returns. (Did we know this?)
I'm using AS3 as the front end to an Oracle DB (communicating via ASP), and check fields to see if they've been edited (i.e., no longer match what's in the DB and need to be saved). TextAreas assigned the CR-NL sequence inherently never match.
Work Around: After I write variable text from the DB to the TextArea, I write the TextArea.text back into the variable.
Replace all instances of a phrase in a text string with another phrase... for some reason only the first instance is replaced and the rest ignored. I botched a solution together by running it through the string replace function around 9 times so the end result has all the <br /> replaced but I'd like to know what I've done wrong...
My Code:
var importPostAddress = "123 Fake Street<br />Mytown<br />Mycounty<br />Mycountry<br />PO5 7CD<br /><br />";
var postAddress = importPostAddress.replace("<br />",", ");
Expected result when tracing postAddress
123 Fake Street, Mytown, Mycounty, Mycountry, PO5 7CD, ,
Actual result
123 Fake Street, Mytown<br />Mycounty<br />Mycountry<br />PO5 7CD<br /><br />
in my flex .swf file I check for "#/1" at the end of the URL in the browser address box (and if its present, use a local Flex SharedObject to restore a previous state). if "#/1" is not present, I call SWFAddress.setValue("1") which has the effect of appending "#/1" on the end of the URL in the browser address box, if that top level URL is also the url of the html page containing my .swf file.
My problem occurs when the html file containing the swf is in a frame, in which case calling SWFAddress.setValue("1") replaces the top level URL in the browser address box with the URL of this frame page (and then appends the "#/1" on the end of that), which then makes this frame page the top level, wiping out all the other frames. But I just want to append "#/1" on the end of whichever top level url address happens to be in the browser address box (not replace its entire content with the url of the frame page containing the swf.
I have a function which adds movieclips dynamically into another movieclip.

View 2 RepliesHow can I get a button inside a movieclip link to a frame in another movieclip on the scene? I tried this code:
function gotoCenter(event:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(root).centermc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
skruetest.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoCenter);
..where "skruetest" is the button, "centermc" is the movieclip where I want to go to frame 2. I don�t get errors with this code, but nothing happens when I click the button. What can I do?
I have a button inside a movieclip, to which I would like to apply a rollover function. When rolled over, this button (inside MOVIECLIP 1) would make (MOVIECLIP 2) jump to second frame. I'm using Flash 8.This is turning onto a real headache for me, since i've searched every single forum and thread concerning this matter, and nothing seems to work.
View 7 RepliesI am a super noob at actionscript. And I want my button to open a movieclip and then close the movieclip when clicked on again. I have no idea what to add after that here is the code I have for the button so far.....this button opens it.
on(release){
this.linemc5.gotoAndPlay("ear");
}
and this is another button I made that can close it, but I want it to be in the same button rather than seperate.
on(release){
this.linemc5.gotoAndPlay("earclose");
}
I have many buttons (symbols). This is what I want it to do: -Select a button on the screen, and then a movieclip plays. - If the user selects any OTHER button on screen, a message box displays a message.
View 2 RepliesCan a button play a movieclip if it lives within another movieclip? Let me explain: Buttons in a map key ran route animations on the map. Code for button (accessed by selecting button and F9) ..reads : on (release) { gotoAndPlay("BusRoute_375");}
[Code]...
All layers and consequently all route movieClips that relate to the map as well as the stop codes for the individual route animations now reside within that MovieClip which sits on a new layer above the map key layer. However, the key buttons no longer run the route animations. What should be done so that when clicked they still play the route MovieClips. Its like the button code cant see the layers it once refered to, now that they are in a movieclip.

I am having a problem where my buttons on main timeline are working fine. When I create a button within a movieclip layer (a page importeded from Photoshop as a movieclip) the button is not working once I leave. It doesn't show as a working button when I select Enable simple buttons, when I preview or publish as HTML. The thing is, it is a button, it has an instance name, is that weird blue color... and it works fine when I am double clicked into that movieclip layer. I also tried common library buttons and they work fine until I leave that layer as well, also tried it within other layers and creating a new file and doing it... all no success!
View 5 RepliesWhy would you create a button within a movieclip instead of just having a movieclip? Does the 2 different types give you more scripting options?
View 1 RepliesI have a Button that is inside MovieClip1 which is inside MovieClip2; yet when i click the Button it doesn't dispatch Event.
View 5 RepliesI have a frame with a movieclip in it (named "theclip" in the library and has the instance name of "guy"). The movieclip has two frames with stops on them. The second frame inside this movieclip has the label "guy2"
Now back in the basic frame i also have a button (outside the guy movieclip) that i'd like when i press it it jumps to the "guy2" frame of the "guy" movieclip.
Code:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("guy2");
}
what do i add to the script that makes it refer to the movieclip? Is there a line like the _root or _parent and so on?

I currently have the following actionscript applied on a test movieclip
mc_test.onRelease = function() {
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
}
"mc_test" contains a circle inside it...this is made to be used as button...however is there any way I can have the user be able to click within the circle in "mc_test" instead of the typical square ahape of a movieclip?
I have a movieclip button with the following actionscript (which I have on the main timeline above my MC layer):
movieclip1.onRollOver = function(){ movieclip1.gotoAndPlay("normal");
}
movieclip1.onRollOut = function(){ movieclip1.gotoAndPlay("hitout");
}
movieclip1.onPress = function(){ movieclip1.gotoAndPlay("over");
}
This works perfectly! My movieclip button takes up the whole stage but I don't want the whole stage to be my hit area (which right now it is). I was searching and I found this actionscript: hit._visible = false;
this.hitArea = hit; The tutorial said to make another layer inside my MC, then add that code. But when I play my movie, I can still see my green square (which was supposed to be my hit area) and it does nothing!
I want to have a class(Generator) generating MovieClips and inside these Clips are buttons with Listeners. Another class(Main) can get the Clips generated and add them to the stage. The problem is if I add the Listener to the Button in the Generator class, i don't get the event. I do get the Event if I get the Button from the Generator and add the Listener in the Main class.

I'm trying to make a button that when clicked executes a sound clip and plays all the way through. Also, if the button is clicked while the sound is still playing the sound needs to stop. They have me first place this code in the first frame:
my_sound = new Sound();
my_sound.attachSound("bubble_01sound");
play();
Next I create two buttons, an on and an off which are placed separately in the second and third frames respectively. Code is applied directly to the buttons.
The on button:
on (release) {
_root.my_sound.start(0,1000);
_root.gotoAndStop("stop");
[code]...
Finally, I name the 2nd frame "play" and 3rd frame "stop" and add stop(); to both frames. Oh I also set up the linkage so that the sound's identifier is "bubble_01sound".
This is all well and good however, here's the rub. Unlike their example which takes place in the main timeline, my button needs to bob up and down. So I put everything from the tutorial in a movieclip and on the main timeline animate the movieclip as I like. When this plays the button does not play sound. I took this as the initial sound code not being activated because its in the movieclip. If I take the sound code out of the movieclip and place it in the first frame of the main timeline, the button does play sound but the stop function does not work. I can keep clicking the button which repeats the sound on top of the already playing sound.
So it seems to me there are three options. One, I need to find a way for the sound code to be activated when its seated in the movieclip. Or two, with the sound code in the main timeline, I need a way for the on/off buttons to reference the code which is one level up in the main timeline. Or the third option would be that I'm completely wrong... I'd put my money on the third option.
I'm new to the forum my name is Chris. I'm currently working as a Graphic Artist for a company called TransTech Systems in Schenectady, NY [URL] I registered today Im trying to figure out. I need to disable the hit area of an object thats part of a movieclip button. Im trying to create a single image light box effect in which the blown up image closes when you mouse off the thumbnail. Here is a link to my movie [URL] If you click on the pic of the gauge you will see the image blows up, and the background fades to a transparent black for better contrast between the pic and the page. I need the background fade effect to not have a hit area otherwise the rollout action does not work.
View 1 RepliesI created our website using Actionscript 2.0 and on several of our pages there is a drop-down text box that has a "close" button on it, which is just a movieclip located inside the text box movieclip. For some reason, if you stay on a page for a few minutes the close button disappears. The hand still shows up when you hover over where it was at and you can still click on it, but it just turns invisible. I'm not sure what's causing this.

I have a movieclip called 'mcBox'. and I have a button called 'playBtn'all that I want to happen is when you click the button the movieClip plays, so simple, but really finding it hard to get to work. This is what I have

function onPlayClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{
mcBox.play();
}
I know it's the 'mcBox.play();; part but can;t figure what it is?
