I have a slight issue with my application I'm working on. Whenever I attach new "windows" to the stage (using attachMovie), it seems that the window that is currently on top allows the user to click the buttons and components on the window behind it. I'm using Flash CS3 Professional, but exporting to AS2.0/Flash8.

I am creating components with the attachMovie(), it works, but is it the right way to do it? The reason i ask is because i cant remove the components with removeMovieClip(), how do you remove them?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a pop up window using the AttachMovie method and i want it to act like a coventional pop up window should do, i.e. it should be draggable and it should have a close button.
I have no problem getting the window to pop up and drag but when i try to use the close button it doesn't work or visa versa.

I have 3 buttons and when I click them the attach movies corresponding to them from the library should show up. Issue is with for loops. It stops at last number. What should I do or use for loop so that when I click my invisible buttons, movie corresponding to them show up? and only that movie show up, not anyone else.
buttonArray = [btn,btn1,btn2]; //mouse click button
movieArray = ["mypopmc","mypopmc1","mypopmc2"]; //movie name;
mArray1 = [mypop_mc,mypop_mc1,mypop_mc2,]; //movie instance name
//dynamic text instance for 3 movies are y1,y2 and y3
for(n=0;n<buttonArray.length;n++) {
[Code]...
How could I create the for loop so that with every mouse click it shows the corresponding movie and text in it. It should show only 1 movie at a time with 1 mouse click on the invisible button (I meant corresponding movie).
I encountered a strange thing when experimenting with attachMovie. So, here's the deal: 2 button, 1 mc_colder. Each button onPress loads a different MC into the holder ( mc1 and mc2 ). Beside those 2 buttons that load the 2 MCs i have 2 more buttons that should remove the loaded MC. Nothing bad until now, loading, removing works fine, but a problem occurs if I click one of the 2 loading buttons twice.. Example: I pess the first buttons once, and loads mc1, i press button 2, loads mc2, i remove both mcs, now, i press button 1 again, loads mc1, i press buton 1 again ( and it should load the mc again or do nothing ? ) but when i want to remove this MC it won't. How can I fix this? Or how can I tell flash not to attach the MC again, once it has already been loaded? I tried a few tricks but nothing yet. I'll keep experimenting with it.
View 3 RepliesI'm creating a library of UI elements, and I want the graphics to be custom. At first, I was going to draw everything with code, and take properties such as "background-base-color", "background-gradient-color", etc. I was concerned that the user would need to modify too many properties and might get confused. I eventually talked myself into using external graphics, such as button_top_left_over.png and etc. Now I'm back and forth. I want people to easily be able to change the skin, so my options are, have them create external graphic libraries, or have them update properties in a front end that would write to XML, such as background-base-color, background-base-highlight,etc.
View 1 RepliesI'm building an image gallery in Flash, and I've struck a problem.Here's what I have so far: A series of movie clip buttons which animate quite nicely.I want to make it so that when you click on one of the buttons, a series of thumbnails appears (I would put them all in a movieclip). Here's my code for one of the buttons:
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("over");
}[code]....
When I click on that button, the thumbnails appear, but they are inside the button mc. I want to either make the "india_thumbs" mc appear in a blank mc, or make it appear in its own layer.
Does this work? Has anyone ever tried it and been successful?

If I create an animation in Flash CS5 that is 600 by 400 pixals and I publish the SWF file, on execution it plays fine at that size.
If I maximise the window, the animation stays the same size and I can see the spillage pieces etc, that I do not want to be seen.
how do I set it so that the animation scales when the window is maximised?
I am currently working on a flash ad for a local bank. One of the frames of the animation requires that the disclaimer text be displayed. I am attempting to create a tab within the ad that if clicked will allow a small window to slide up (roughly half the height of the medium rectangle), display the disclaimer and then close. This would occur while the main animation is still progressint. The problem is I'm not sure how to go about it.
I've seen this technique in an Insurance ad on one of the major ad networks but have not been able to determine how to do it.
I am using Flash CS4. I am marginally proficient in AS3.
this is probably a really simple code, (it might be javascript i dunno)... but i want a simple 'X' button that will close my window when the user clicks it.---------------------------------------------------

Also if I click twice, only 1 mouse click will cause my custom event to be dispatched (because obviously there is no change between the items). how to make my List only react to mouse clicks? UPDATE: Yes, I've tried using "change" event for the List before, but then I have the problem that it is fired, even if the List scrollbar is clicked.
I have made a javascript/flash system to play sound effects on an AJAX-based game I have made. For some reason, on some systems (it appears to be just Firefox 3 on Windows XP), users can only hear the sound effects play while the window is in focus. If they minimize the window or are looking at a different window the sound effects don't play.

I'm trying to do a similar effect that this site does: [URL] It's a full flash site. How do you make sure the scrollbar for example stays on the right hand side of the screen depending on what resolution/size of the browser the user is using. Even if they then resize it, the scrollbar ends up on the right hand side at all times.
Also the content is moved to the center when you resize the width of the screen. At the moment though I'm just interested in how to keep something aligned to the right dynamically.
I'm using the following section of AS:
onClipEvent (load) {
//sets up a sound object, loads the .mp3 file and starts the sound.
this.faTrack = new Sound();
[Code].....
You do not need to import the sound file into Flash. You just have to make sure
that the .mp3 file is in the same directory as the .swf file. You should also make
sure that the .mp3 file is named the same as faFile in the FlashAmp .txt file.
The benefits of this method are that the .mp3 file only downloads if the user gets
to the bit in your Flash file where you call it. It also plays as it streams although there will be a slight delay as it buffers (FlashAmp will take account of this delay as the arrays are based on the position of the sound).

View 1 RepliesI have a project that's 1024x768. However, on screens with a resolution of 1024x768, the users still have to scroll (the project is too big to fit in the browser window). Is there a way to allow scaling of the project only if it's too big for the user's window? I don't want the project to always scale to fit the window size. I only want to scale it down if it's too large to fit on screen without scrollbars.

View 1 RepliesI have a strange issue- I use a title window to create a message to the user. The user has the ability to move the title window around the screen so that the main screen is visible.However if the user were to move the title window way too much, it can actually go outside the browser accessible area- the user has no option but to close the browser and start again. How do we ensure that the title window movement is limited, such that the title bar is always available for control?
I might not have worded this right- pls check the attached image.
