I made a flash site and one of the pages has drag and drop functions with drop target actions, so that text appears once dropped onto a target.It works fine but when I have it loaded inside an external editor, the drop and drag still works but the drop target function stops working.

I am designing a game in which there are three doors on stage. The doors are each instances of the same symbol. The instances are named "door1","door2" and "door3". The symbol contains three frames-"color1","color2" and "color3"- each frame is a the same door in a different color.
I want the game to randomly select a color for each door at the start of the game. I have been trying to use variations of the following code:
var min = 1;
var max = 3;
function doorColor (event:ENTER_FRAME, getNewDoor)
[Code].....
Why is the ENTER_FRAME tagnot working correctly?
The gotoAndPlay option isn't kicking in here. The object "sam_MC" proceeds along the specified root. But when the if statement containing gotoAndPlay becomes true, sam_MC simply stops moving and no other action is taken. When sam_MC's x coordinate becomes less or greater than a specified amount, I want the flash movie to restart. My code is located on the first frame of a layer I have named "actions." Here it is.

After adding a mouseListener via Mouse.addListener to my flash movie the mouse wheel event is not bubbling to the browser when the mouse cursor is placed over the flash moviePeople all over google are complaining that in AS3 the event is bubbling and it is hard to stop it but in AS2 I wasn't able to find a solution to get the behaviour just as it is in AS3.Some code:
var mouseListener:Object = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseMove = function() {
trace("mouseMove");

Action script 3

I have some movie clips that hold the contents. (ie I have a movie clip to hold my navigation buttons and another to hold the actual content.) I wrote some action script on a separate layer that is outside of the movie clips, the AS adds event listeners and a few simple functions. All my navigational buttons work prefectly, I have a button that I use for email, this works the first the frame is loaded. If I go to another frame (another page of the website), and then go back, the button no longer works, I tested with just using trace("the email button was clicked"); oh, I thought I might add that each page of the website is a different frame, that is inside my content movie clip. my AS looks like this:
stop();
navigation_mc.home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent .CLICK, homeClickF);
navigation_mc.rates_btn.addEventListener(MouseEven t.CLICK, ratesClickF);

I'm working with the php hit counter here on the Kirupa site and wondered if there was a way to test the data in the txt file during the loop to determine playback of a movieclip.... in other words, when the loop starts, a variable is created storing the number in the textfile... the next time the loop repeats, the textfile is checked and matched against the variable... if the variable differs from the textfile, the variable value is changed to match the textfile, and a movieclip plays to signal that this change in the textfile has occurred.
View 8 RepliesI updated FlashPro from 10.0 to 10.0.2 through the adobe updater.After the update applied, Flash ignores any code entered on my action layers as if it were not there, even simple stop(); command.

View 2 Replies1 main flash movie called game.swf 1 external flash movie called maze.swf
The thing is from my main movie game.swf I load the external "maze.swf" true the LoadClip procedure. This works "fine".
The maze.swf as you can guess contains a maze game, and as you all will know this works with the Hittest commando to check if the character doesn't walk up against the wall.
If I start the maze.swf as a stand-a-lone this works fine, but as soon as I load maze.swf in my main movie. The hittest doesn't work anymore, because in some way the hittest is now checking with the coordinates of the entire main movie instead of only the boundaries of the maze.
I checked If I was calling to the right path, with _root and _level0 and etc. This is al correct because I can trace all the properties from maze.swf in my main movie. But the hittest simply won't work.
I'm trying to set up an app that moves one movie clip to the top of the screen, regardless of where it is or how deeply it is nested. To do this, I take the full path of the movie clip and go in, movie clip by movie clip, putting the depth of each nested clip on top. This part works perfectly. Afterwards, I want to move everything back to where it was. In the first step, I store the current depths of everything in an array before changing depths. In the second step, I'm trying to change everything back to its original depth, as shown in the array.
The code is below:
_global.videoPath = _root.clip1.clip2;
var pathString = String(_global.videoPath);
var videoPathArray = pathString.split(".");
var depthArray:Array = new Array();

When creating a dropdown for a button, I noticed the dropdown will stop working if the button does not run the entire length of the timeline. i.e.: if you navigate to a page that is out of that button's "range" it will stop working unless reset by returning to the root page. Nesting the problematic button in a movie, however, solves this problem...

I've tried it on several different copies on Flash(on college computers and at home) with different files and no matter what, once I save the file, any action script I had will stop working and will never work again no matter what.
When I create a new document and put in some Actionscript (3), it will work at first. For example if I have one line telling an object to have a lower alpha. Then, consistantly, when I go to "save" it'll stop working.
I have a class which extends a SWC , in the swc i have two boxes, front and back and an animation on the same timeline. The animation works fine without swapping when I swap them the animation stops working.[code]...
View 7 RepliesMy friend and I have been working on a game for about a year. There's a few buttons on the stage that have been on the stage for six months, and always worked fine, but today my friend moved them and I just realized they don't work anymore. They are literally completely unresponsive to all mouse input, they have event listeners for mouseover and click but the events never get triggered (I checked for sure with breakpoints and traces).
I tried the obvious things first; move the buttons to the top layer and set .mouseEnabled = true, but that didn't do anything. I tried moving them around the stage in case something invisible was covering them but that didn't work.
We've got one button instance named "btnSell" that is broken, and another named "btnMenu" that works. They are instances of different objects in the library, but I tried swapping their instance names on the stage; then "btnMenu" was broken and "btnSell" worked.
So I swapped the names back, deleted the broken "btnSell" and created a new instance from the library. Only, it still doesn't work.
My friend deleted a bunch of old and no-longer-used assets, including previous versions of the PNGs that make up those buttons, so maybe that's related to the problem?
I made a flash file with buttons that go here and there and everything was fine except it takes a while to load so i added a preloader and suddenly the compiler is throwing the following error:

I have a class which extends a SWC , in the swc i have two boxes, front and back and an animation on the same timeline. The animation works fine without swapping when I swap them the animation stops working.

var backTemp:DisplayObject = this.animationInstance.getChildByName("back");
this.animationInstance.swapChildren(frontTemp,backTemp);
this.animationInstance.gotoAndPlay("animation");
it's a little ridiculous; and probably unbelievable, but when I have more than five hundred lines of actionscript in tags in my MXML FLEX Main.mxml, all syntax highlighting, error and syntax verification, error reporting, "Problems" pane, and even sometimes compilation fail. Upon removing any chunk of code, it works again.I don't see why Adobe could release a product such as Flash Builder 4.5 Premium, have this big of a problem; and nobody notice. Therefore I believe the problem has to do with my computer, or my project; as there's now ay more people have had this happen if I can't even find it on Google.
Additionally, many objects that have been defined in the MXML properties above the code, even those in All States, are now showing as warning: Access of undefined property down the side of my document. However, these warnings are not showing up in the "Problems pane", and aren't even yellow squigly underlining the right sections of code to pertain to the message.Steps I have taken to TRY and fix this:I have tried restarting, as well as re-installing the IDE (Adobe Flash Builder 4.5).I have tried creating a new projectI have tried splitting my code into smaller .as files and including them.I have tried compiling my application.
In my current flash application I and my co-workers are using Loader to load some SWFs from our server. It works perfectly while we have the flash application on our computers running it trough Adobe Flash CS3 but when we publish it and move the html page to our server and try and run it from there the loading doesn't seem to start. I have the firebug plugin for Firefox so I checked if flash actually loaded the images and according to firebugs network monitor it found all needed resources and downloaded them successfully. But the behaviour of our application is as if the loading starts but the complete event is never sent.

This function is suppose to deal with loading requests from different kind of movieclips throughout the movie. There is something wrong with 'load(path as URLRequest)'. It compiles fine, but upon running flash simply crashes over and over (flash stopped working). It seems as if there is something wrong with it but flash not being able to catch the error.
The path is given as an argument to the function in the form of a string, but should be converted to a URLRequest before being able to be loaded.
I have a problem getting my flash to resize when changing the size of the browser window. It behaves perfectly from the beginning but when i resize the window to less then the minimum movie height to get a scroll (620 px) the Stage.height never changes to bigger than 620 px if I enlarger the window. It seams as if the flash don�t get information that the browser window changes...

I have a flash app that I have been working on for 5 months or so, it relies heavily on Flash remoting with numerous custom classes each making service calls via AMF.I have been developing this app in CS4 on Windows and never had any trouble, it works great.I just got CS4 for my Mac and installed it and copied over the flash files for this app so I can continue working on it on the mac instead of the PC, but on the Mac the app stops working after a few seconds, particularly after doing a few commands that issue flash remoting calls.Even stranger is it will not return to working condition again until I close all of the files involved with the project( the .fla and all .as files involved) and then reload them,if I keep trying to test run the movie from the flash editor it hangs at the first flash remoting call and never returns any error message or any indication that its trying to connect, on the server end my logs show no requests are going to gateway.php.So basically to continue working on the mac I'd have to keep closing down the files every few mins and reloading them.
