Can a created "createEmptyMovieClip" movieclip have a rollOver state
[Code]....
Is this supposed to be like this? Orrr am I missing something?
resizing a movieclip created with createEmptyMovieclip.I tried changing the property using setproperty,the result : no image shown at all.. i think i stting a property for a wrong movieclip.....
Code:
addressVars= new LoadVars();
addressVars.load("http://localhost/test/flashmx_dbPassReturn.php");
addressVars.onLoad = function() {

As the title suggests i want to apply physics (gravity mainly) to a line drawn with the curser using the createEmptyMovieClip method.Below is the code in the main frame (sorry its a bit long), what I'm trying to do is make something like crayon physics (i know it will be difficult).So far i can draw lines and make certain objects ( a ball for example) be affected by gravity, but when I try to make the drawn lines be affected by gravity it stuffs up.he first line drawn is produced in the wrong position, (it should be at mouse point but isn't) and you can't draw any subsequent lines. This problem doesnt exist when i remove the gravityBasically what i want is that each line that is drawn can have actions assigned to it... (so i can add gravity and unique properties for different line types)

I know it is possible to attach a class to a movieclip that exists in the library by checking 'Export for ActionScript' and specifying an 'AS 2.0 class' for that symbol.
I would really like to know if it's also possible to attach a class to a movieclip that was created by using the 'createEmptyMovieClip' method.
I'm trying to create a movieclip and load a "frame" image inside of it, then create another movieclip inside of the first, and then load another picture inside of the second. Something like this:
var thumbFrame;
var thumbPicture;
thumbFrame = container_mc.createEmptyMovieClip(thumbFrameName, 1);[code]..........
But it doesn't seem to work the way I want: the "thumbPicture" doesn't appear on top of the "thumbFrame" as I expected... only the "thumbFrame" shows (with it's image succesfully loaded). Am I missing something?
EDIT: If I comment this: //thumbFrame.loadMovie("thumbFrame.png");
The thumbPicture.jpg shows inside of the first movieclip, so maybe the issue is with the .loadMovie?
I have a movieclip I created usind createEmptyMovieClip(). How can I assign a Linkage Id to that clip?My reason for this is I later want to attach that clip I created to another clip using attachMovie() which requires a Linkage Id.

I have MovieClips on my Flash Stage that when clicked on--they toggle ON/OFF. My goal is that when a user clicks either ON/OFF--then leaves the flash website--another user can visit the site--and see that state of that MovieClip was either left ON/OFF.
I would need a way that when a user toggles ON/OFF--that state is saved in a variable--passed onto PHP--saved in an XML file--and then when that is done--Flash calls a function to update--to read the XML file--see if it needs to update the ON/OFF state of the MovieClip toggle button.
Multiple people would be able to go to this flash site--and toggle (ON/OFF) the objects on the stage. When more than one person is toggling--those people should instantly see objects being toggled (ON/OFF).
How do I put a rollover on a dynamically created movieclip?
I have several movieclips being placed inside a container movieclip and I need them to have onRollOver, onRollOut and onRelease events. The way I usually target and do this...
_root.mcContainerName.mcName.onRollOver = function() {
_root.mcContainerName.mcName.gotoAndStop("over");
}
...does not seem to work for whatever reason. However, if I put a named instance of the movieclip on the stage myself and target it in exactly the same way (with similar syntax), the rollover works fine.
I need to add a rollover effect to the disabled state of a Spark button. This way, users can rollover the button and know why the button is disabled.I think I would have to override ButtonBase's getCurrentSkinState. Is there anyway to test if a mouse cursor is over a disabled button?
View 1 RepliesAny examples on creating the horizontal scrolling menu with dynamically attached clips? the style where if the user mouses over the right hand side of the menu it slides left, etc? There's lots of tutes out there for simple scrolling but not much that take a dynamically sized clip into consideration!
View 1 RepliesI have an XML file that I am pulling thumbnails from. I would like these thumbnails to be links, but for some reason onRelease does not work on my movie clip created with createEmptyMovieClip.
I have this theory that my onRelease function is being called before my thumbnail image is fully loaded, but I may be completely wrong. Here is some example code of what I am trying to do.

From the flash help, it says:Method; removes a movie clip instance created with the duplicateMovieclip action, or the duplicateMovieClip or attachMovie methods of the MovieClip object.
But i have movieClips created from createEmptyMovieClip();, so i'm assuming removeMovieClip(); won't work. Is there another way to remove this then?
I want to rollover a button and have it trigger the rollover state of another button. The buttons overlap. The one on top is transparent and smaller than the bottom button. So far I think I have the AS3 to handle the rollover of the top button, but I don't know how to trigger the other button's rollover state.

I'm creating a movie clip with AS:
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("pool", 1)
and I'm also loading an external .swf in:
Code:
player.loadMovie("mp3player.swf");
How do I load the external .swf in "above" the movie clip being created by createEmptyMovieClip? It is always on top of it, on the highest depth, and I'd like the mp3player.swf to be on top instead.[URL]
I have an issue with an animated rollover/out state that I have created. I have seven movieclips that I am using as buttons and when rolled over/out play a different frame of the MC and move all the other mc's with an actionscript tween. The code works as it should but when I try to rollover/out of the mc to quickly the whole thing goes haywire and all the clips get out of place. I have tried to disable the buttons as soon as the user rollover on the mc but it doesn't seem to have any effect. I am only posting the code for one of the mc (publicist_btn) since all the code for the rest are the same.

I've been researching all day and it seems like this is impossible to do. I see you can setStyle on ComboBoxes/Lists & other components but... How do you control the style for a Roll Over state? I'm not looking to change colors but instead, turn underlining on and off during MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT, respectively
View 2 Repliesim outta it. The Flash files i created for a project are WAY WAY too slow in terms of time of reaction. I can
take seconds to simply show a rollOver state on a given mc. And very erratic behaving.
I did other projects before without any problem. Its slow local, on the server, standalone, in browser, well
I've been using the following code for a set of buttons that activates/deactivates the buttons so there is only one active button at a time:
[Code]....
I found this code here: [URL] I've been messing with this code for a couple days now and can't seem to figure out how to add a rollover state to this code, everything I try either glitches this code out or doesn't work... So at the moment it does half of what I want (makes it where there's only one active button at a time), what I want to do is to add a Rollover effect to the code above.
I am trying to remove a rollover and rollout states from a button, AFTER the button has been pressed. I want to KEEP that button in its pressed state once pressed. How might I do this?

I need to know if it's possible to have an HTML rollOver state effect Flash. I want the user to rollOver an HTML button and when they do, the Flash movie below it plays.
View 3 RepliesI have a navigation menu with the following code on the buttons, this works fine, you press one button, loads an external swf in movie clip holder and then when i press another button on the navigation, it loads an external swf into holder replacing the the last swf. The buttons have an rollover animation and when pressed have a static state ie you know that the button you pressed doesnt animate and you know what page you are on.
I have a another movieclip on the main stage, inside this, there is a scroller with thumbnail buttons, same code on the thumbnail buttons but on the time line in the movieclip. This too loads external swf into the movie clip holder.BUT doesnt turn off the static state in the main navigation button, so for example if i am in the home page the home page button is on.I press the another button on the navigation, and the home page button goes off and the new button stays on with new page loaded.I would like the code in the scroller to turn off the navigation button last pressed, so the thumbnail buttons, act like they are part of the navigation and not inside a movie clip..
var buttonNum:Number = 1;
for (i=1; i<=buttonNum; i++) {
this["button"+i].onRollOver = function() {[code]...
You can see that there are simple roll overs for the header (this is the middle part with the photo on it and the buttons on the right); you rollOver one and the photo changes.Never one to leave well-enough alone, the boss wants to add this wrench to the works:He's not sure that people will "get" that you can hover over the buttons and will never get to see the photo and message change. So he wants the photo/message to kind of rotate through on a loop, then have it so you can override the rotation by rollingOver the button. Ok, no problem.BUT I would like the button's rollOver effect to be seen with the cooresponding photo/message. This is what I can't figure out, without trying something hacky.
View 2 RepliesSo I have a window that slides in when its rolled over. It goes back to its origin when the user rolls off the window. Now within that window I have a scroll feature taht creates a conflict with the window actions when the user tries to use the scrollbar elements. I want the window to stay open, while the user is scrolling and i want the window to close when the user rolls off the window.
It could be easier to have the user click the window open/closed...but I was wondering if there is a way I could keep my original vision...here is what i wrote for the window code:
[AS]window.backdimmer._alpha=0;
window.trigger.onRollOver = function() {
window.slideTo(-360, "_y", .4, "easeoutbounce");

Let's say I have a button called HOME, and in this button the word home is in HELVETICA FONT REGULAR STYLE. Now, Helvetica has lots of styles.Say I want the rollover state to be HELVETICA REGULAR. How can I do that with actionscript? My BTN instance name is "home", and my text field instance inside the btn is "home_txt".
and some general question: is it better just to create buttons for each category, or just create one general button, and reuse it giving a different instance name every time? Like, should the word HOME be a button, or should I add a rectangle button underneath it and change the instance name accordingly?
I would like to specify which page a user is on by having the button on the rollover state. For example, on the products page, I would like the products button to be in the rollover state. I can't figure out how I would do this. Below is the code from the as file.
package codesource
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;

I'm in the process of building a Flash AS3 navigation for a client's website. The horizontal navigation has five main links, and a secondary navigation will drop down under three of them on rollover (this part isn't complete yet). The rollover and rollout states are animated: on rollover they gradually change color; on rollout they gradually change back to the original color.Well, I've finally gotten the code figured out (my first foray into AS3 after finally being comfortable with some things in AS2!). However, depending on how you move the mouse (i.e., if you move the mouse over the button too quickly), the rollover state remains on rollout and I can't figure out why. Can someone help? I also need to know how to designate an active state when the button is clicked (say, if you clicked on Projects, the Projects button would be highlighted (the rollover state) when you're on that page.The link to the in-progress navigation is located here: http:[url].... And this is the AS:
var homeLink:URLRequest = new URLRequest("../index.htm");
var mySound:Sound = new clickSound();
home_mc.buttonMode = true;[code]......
was wondering how you could make a rollover/rollout over an swf and change the image without reverting back to the original image. For instance, or more specifically,How would you create the effect where you have a permanent change on a mouserollover so that it does not go back to the original design? I made two movie clips and I put them together so that now when the mouse rollsover or you click on the original movie clip, the second movie clip is played, but the second movie clip gets cut off as soon as the mouse moves away and reverts to the original movie clip. I also wanted to stop the second movie clip from looping or replaying if clicked upon - just play once
