I have a image slider movie setup. When a user mouse's over the image I have a tooltip appear. I want the tooltip to contain the value of the "desc" value stored in the XMLfile. How can I determine which image is moused over? Is there an ID tied to the image?

I'm trying to load the jpg out of an mp3 (I'm doing this in Flash, but that's neither here nor there), and I've pulled open a few MP3s in a hex editor and while the rest of the tag is pretty clear, the image part is a mystery. There is a label "image/jpeg" but then I expect something resembling a byte length for the image or a string key that demarcates the end of the image
View 2 RepliesI'm using loadMovie to load a JPG to a MovieClip. As in ...
loadMovie("c:myimage.jpg", imageholder_mc);
What is the actionscript to determine the pixel width of the image loaded.
I'm trying to create a flash movie where you can hover over a section of the image this brings up more information about what you've hovered over.(setup as movies within the main stage, when you hover over it plays, when you hover off it stops).
I've also created buttons and animations so that when you click them it slides in the next piece of content.What I can't make it do is automatically roll between the content (except when the mouse is over it). I've tried the onmouseover = stop type commands and a standard key frame --> key frame animation but this then stops my little information boxes (which are movies) from playing.
I want to create like a big button that when hovered over it stops it changing to the next piece of content, but allows you to hover over the icons in this piece.
I've written a dynamic nav and need a better way to check if all the nav items are moused out.
Basically when a nav item is made it is given a mouse out and mouse in. When you mouse in it sets a value of '0' in an array and moused out is set a value of '1'.
There is then this piece of code
ActionScript Code:
//Listen and Move
mcNavOutTest.onEnterFrame = function():Void {
nCounterToFade = 0;
for (var r:Number = 0; r < arClosed.length; r++) {
[Code].....
That adds all the values of the array together. When you mouse out a nav it tests to see if 'nCounterToFade' is equal to the length of the array (meaning all values of the array are 1 = all nav items are moused out).
I think its really bad to have a for loop being constantly tested with an onenterframe event. How can I make this better / test if all nav items are moused out. It would have been ideal to create some sort of if statement that checks all nav items but I don't know how to do this dynamically.
A rectangle which expands downwards when moused over or clicked on, and returns to normal when mouse is not over. I'm trying to make a menu and fill it with comboboxes and such. This fla shows what I mean (I dont know who made it, written in AS2 I believe): [URL] I managed to make this code, but what i'd like it for the combobox to only appear when the shape is fully expanded.

I've had a challenge that I cannot seem to figure out for the life of me right now. I have set up a mockup spinning carousel on this page here using Actionscript 2: [URL] What I would like however, is for the annimation to only be available when moused over on the .swf. When the mouse is not placed inside the flash file, the animation would then stop. Is this possible?

i have been trying to figure out how to make an object move when its moused over.
once moused over, i would like for it to move with an ease (penner), but once the mouse is off the object, i would like it to ease into a dock position.

this is the code i used to turn my buttons into links and it works fine.
pedals.addEventListener(
MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
function(evt:MouseEvent):void {
[Code].....
i need to mouseover those buttons and have the xml data display in some dynamic text boxes. i'm going to get a book once i get off work. but i think the way i do that is to add another MouseEvent after the previous one right? do i have to write the whole pedals.addEventListener part? the red part is just my best guess after reading a tutorial, the tutorial was not for what i am trying to do though so i might be way off. like, i dont know if that xmlLoader stuff goes there or not, i still need to learn the correct syntax for as3.
pedals.addEventListener(
MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
function(evt:MouseEvent):void {
[Code].....
i am stuck though because this doesnt work. i dont know what to do. the dynamic text boxes have instance names of "item" and "ssnumber" what do i still need to add? i know i'm still kindof far off.
i have already done this in as2 and it works but my company just bought a service that will be hosting it and they only support as3 so they are kindof forcing me to learn it (it's about time i guess)
I have a photo scroller built with CS3 and actionscript. It uses XML to load images for the thumb-scroll portion. I'd like to know if there is a quick fix to make the picstrip seem to a carousel - in other words, the strip would just continue to scroll whether you moused left or right.
View 1 RepliesI am looking to add some life to this graphic in flash: My goal is to have the "Hey Jude" element drop into frame and be suspended by the two strings that are attached to it. i.e. similar in fashion like a swingset
I have looked all over the web but have yet to find any leads/tutorials on the matter.I would also like this element to be physics based so that the motion is random and when the element is moused over it responds to the action.
whats the best least buggiest way to ensure that on mouse over, the moused over object is the last child of the parent, and will appear in front of everything else?

We generate a LOT of swfs where I work. We've got a group of people managing putting the swfs into our asset management system. These people do NOT have flash or anything adobe. However, they need to be able to determine the AS setting on the swfs. Is there a tool (preferably cheap or even free) that can be used to determine the Actionscript level of a swf?

I'm trying to trigger functions when a mc is on a certain frame, but the code I have doesn't seem to be working.
I have this code on the main timeline

And then in the test.mc itself, on frame 6 I have this code stop();

I'm trying to use NetStream events from an FMS 3.5.4 server but am having trouble. I'd like to simply know when a video is playing, buffering, or idle. I know about Play.Start and Play.Stop, but these can mean the video is playing, or the video is buffering. Buffer.Full and Buffer.Flush can occur when a video is paused, playing, stopped, seeking, etc. I'm scouring over every event I get, but I really see no good way to determine what the exact state of a NetStream is at a given time.
