View 1 RepliesI have two frames in my Flash piece. On one frame I have a combobox called source_id, and on the other frame I also have a combobox called source_id. Now I know I could rename these but I want to keep them the same for various reasons.
View 1 Repliesi am working on a project that has separate swf files serving as different sections (students, faculty, etc). for each section, on the first frame i have a combobox that lists the different values within that particular section. when a user clicks on the value, it takes them to the specific frame within that swf. there are two problems:

I'm using Flash CS3 and want to create a custom ComboBox. I've followed the steps outlined in "Editing component skins in a new document" (http:/[url]...), but every time I get to the step where I drag the ComboBox Assets folder from the HaloTheme.fla library into my library, if I test movie at that point my combobox has become an unclickable white rectangle with no label, button or anything.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to set a specific list item in a mx combobox to have a custom item renderer, the problem is that I cannot do this via mxml, it needs to be done via actionscript at a later stage, eg: combobox gets created, combobox gets populated, user does other tasks, combobox needs to set one or more items in the combobox to have icons (via item renderer)..
I can do this via the onChange event, but it only applies the icon when the combobox is opened and there is a slight delay so you can see the icon being added.
How can I validate there's a selected item in a ComboBox before saving? If there's no selected item, how can I set focus on the ComboBox?

Both of my ComboBoxes has the same identifier.I could not change the identifier through the properties tab because it is greyed out.
I am rendering a TextField (Flash CS5) with the following css and html properties :
css = "a {font-weight: bold;} fu {color: #00A0A0;}"
wordWrap = true
multiline = true
html = <![CDATA["Phoenicians were pioneering artisans and ingenious craftsmen...
They developed the technique behind the production of transparent glass...
Their innovation spread around the globe throughout the past centuries...
<fu>WE AIM TO CARRY ON WITH THE INNOVATION</fu>"]]>
The last QUOTE is rendered in a line BELOW "WE AIM TO...". It's rendered like this :
WE AIM TO CARRY ON WITH THE INNOVATION
The ONLY way to render the quote in the same line with "WE AIM..." is to :
a) Either put it INSIDE <fu>
b) Or remove <fu> altogether.
Is this a Flash bug? Am I doing something wrong with css or html?
How can I check if the value entered in the textbox is number or not. Dont want to restrict the user to enter number by putting restrict etc. just want to validate at the end How?

View 2 RepliesThis is for a website with seven frames (one page per frame)
I can load the gallery .swf in background but I only want it to show up on frame 7 (gallery button). Then if the user goes anywhere else (eg. home button - frame 1) the loaded gallery .swf disappears.
I can load it and make it invisible, and can make it visible on frame 7 but then it's visible when you navigate anywhere else.
This is the load code on entering frame 1:
stop();
//make gallery invisible in this frame
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, invisible);
function invisible (event:Event):void

View 2 RepliesI am using an mx:DateField in Flex and it works nice with the date picker, but I also need it to be editable, so I set editable="true". The problem is that now the user can enter anything they want - even though I have a formatString="YYYY-MM-DD" set. The date picker honors this format, but if the user enters in the format MM/DD/YYYY they can - or they can even enter garbage data.
I realize I can set up a data validator to check that it is a valid date and in the appropriate format as per the flex docs, but I was hoping to have something I have seen in other languages where the text field would show something like "0000-00-00" and the user clicks in to the field and it allows them to change only the digits (the zeros) and can not type any alpha characters or add/remove any length.
I'd like to make a login page with a user name and pwd field. And each time a user enters a character in to the user name text input box a small logo at the bottom of the page rotates in a direction for each character entered. how to detect when a character is entered in to the input box.

I'm trying to allow ascii codes to be entered into a textField, using num codes (ALT+Num), and am seeing some very strange behaviour. If I enter: Alt + 14, I get a charCode of 9835, and ♫ is displayed in my trace output, but a placeholder square is entered in the textField. If I enter: Alt + 0014, I get a charCode of 14, placeholder square is displayed in trace, and ♫ is displayed properly in the text field.
View 3 Repliesso im makeing this wheres waldo type game and I have this code timer where when 15 seconds go by it goes to a keyframe where it says "you lose"and I have this other code where when you click a button it goes to a different keyframe where it says "you win"now the problem is if you click on the button in say 13 seconds you'll go to the "you win" frame but when 2 more seconds go by (makeing it 15 seconds) it'll take you to the "you lose" frame so i was wondering if theres a action where you can delete another action once you enter the "you win" frame or something like that

View 2 RepliesI have an .swf file that is going to serve as a login for a new website being built. The .swf will contain a movie symbol and two text fields underneath it. The idea is for the movie symbol to play at different points on its timeline based on what is being typed in the text fields below. For instance, when someone is typing in their user name, the movie file will start at a certain point on the timeline and when they type in their password, it will jump to another point in the timeline. I figure thats the easy part and I would settle for just that.
The complicated part is this: Ultimately, I want the movie symbol to jump to those points on its timeline based on how many characters have been typed into the text fields. For example, if someones user name is "christoper", I need the file to play the movie once someone has typed in "chri" and then jump to the next section of its timeline after they've typed in "stopher", and so on down through the password.
I want to know how to display a name which was entered to input text field on a frame which exists in another scene.
I can do it on the same frame, but cant find a way to use the data in two different scenes.
I want to have data called up when a certain number is entered, like a html page with text and pictures. If the correct item # is entered, the information is pulled up. Is this a good application for flash and actionscript? or for something like javascript and ajax? I'm brand new to both, but i'm very willing to learn.

View 2 RepliesI am currently developing a chemical formula application that receives input from a user directly from a text area.My problem is displaying this input with subscript (eg: H20 with the 2 displayed below the baseline). Subscript can be entered when developing the application, but can it be displayed when the application is running? Is there any way I can apply subscript to numbers that are entered automatically?
I would like a student to enter some text, highlight the characters they want in subscript, and then click a subscript button that calls some actionscript.
I need to a keyframe to pause (for say 20 seconds) when the frame is entered (i.e. not a button press, etc). After the 20 seconds is up, i need the timeline to continue playing to the next keyframe. I've searched and searched for setinterval and the like, but i could not find a clear answer.
