So, normally the mouse pointer is the arrow. When it's over something with an on(press) event or some such, it turns into a "pointing finger."
Is there any way to force it to change to some other icon? Specifically, I have a draggable movieclip that I'd like to control with a "grabbing hand" pointer, but Flash insists on making it a "pointing finger," which I feel is a little confusing to users. Is this possible at all?
I've got a bunch of text in some of my pages, and there are parts of the text that I have linked. On the web, the text just looks normal, which is fine, but when I put the mouse over it, the finger pointer doesn't come up, so no one would guess it's actually a link if they didn't know. It still works if you click on it, but why doesn't the mouse turn into the finger pointer?

View 2 RepliesI have a movieclip that I want to rollover to begin animation. I don't want the "finger" pointer so people aren't inclined to click it. i want to keep the default cursor.
How can this be achieved?
i have been making some little animated icons and I have gotten stuck on one in particular.I think I have attached an image of it here. What I want to do is start off with a solid red triangle and animate it being sucked or beamed up into the spaceship, as you see in the picture.I want it to look kind of like the triangle is dissolving into little particles which are being sucked into the spaceship

View 2 RepliesI have a swf embedded into a site, and I want the swf to be clickable so when you click on it it goes to another page. I tried wrapping the whole flash object in tags, and that makes it clickable but the biggest problem I'm having is when you roll over it with the mouse the pointer icon doesn't come up, it just looks like the regular arrow. I tried playing with the css and doing cursor:pointer, but it still doesn't work. I can edit the .fla file and add some actionscript 2.0 to it, but I'm not sure what to add or where. I'd rather do it through html or css, but if I have to do it in flash that's ok too. Also, I have an invisible button over the whole thing called, MYbtn
View 3 RepliesIs it possible to change the mouse-pointer position in fullscreen. I want my mousepointer never hits the left or right side screen walls.. in case it does so, it resets itself in between somewhere.
A fake mouse pointer using a movieclip, won't solve this problem, because after-all i have to save the mouse pointer from hitting screen-walls.
I've got a couple of MovieClips on my stage that use the onRelease event to run a function, this automatically makes the mouse cursor change to a hand symbol when over the MovieClip. That's all good, but I sometimes want to 'disable' my mouse, and when it's in this state I want to change the cursor back to a pointer. This should be handled in my controller, so having a statement around my onRelease function isn't ideal.
View 1 RepliesI am making items that minimize onto the side of the screen as little icons, I have that figured out. What i am trying to accomplish is making them minimize to a dynamic spot if there is not already one there. There a bunch of posistions that they could minimize to, i would like them to choose the next highest avaliable spot. Heres some code that will make them do that:
Code:
var minspots:Array = [60, 100, 140, 180, 220, 260];
var minspotstaken:Array = [false, false, false, false, false, false];
_global.sizedown = function(target:MovieClip) {
[code]....
It almost appears as if the tween action for the "_y" is holding its first value, as it always goes back to where it went when the movie loads.
So I stick in this flash drive that me and some coworkers use regularly to transfer files to each other, open up a couple of .fla files and edit some text as neccessary for a project. I save, blah blah blah, get about half way done and hit save.Could not save I:folders]q5.fla.The file may be read-only or already open in another application.Save using a different name, or close the document and try again.Saved, saved, saved, saved, FAIL.What the hell, Flash? Did you forget to lock the document out for your use and something else is nabbing "first open" rights.
Edit:I can narrow down the failure to editing a single movieclip. All of the files I'm editing are based off the same source (they're questions to a quiz, and while not intelligently programmed, its what we have). As soon as I edit the contents of the "B" answer (instance name "choice2" movieclip name boxB) I can no longer save the file with the same name.

What we have is a countdown clock that hits 0 at the start of a global sailboat race. The race start is in New Zealand, our servers are in Chicago. We're using a php script to pull the time from the server in Chicago, but for some reason the clock looks different in each time zone. This is a problem, because if your at the race it will say 10 minutes to the start, but if your in Chicago, it will say 10 hours or whatever it is.Here's the site.
Here's the code, AS2:

var targetDate:Date = new Date(2009, 1, 20, 19, 15, 0, 0);/*correct start time in chicago time. start time is feb 21, 01:15 */

Way to stop the pointing hand cursor from appearing when the mouse rolls over a Flash button?
View 13 RepliesI've read some previous post by others, and have got the concept of how to make it happen just need to ask a few specific questions, one is the action script for changing the movie to the cursor and telling it how to move as the mouse cursor, next question is how do i get to act as the mouse pointer for the whole page, for instance I'm using frames I've got my buttons in the left frame, with a banner it the nested top and then the pages of course load in the main frame, how when creating the mouse cursor do i get it to work all over the page? I wasn't sure if using the normal method if it acts through out the whole site or just over a flash movie.

View 1 RepliesI'm working on an Adobe Air Desktop App ATM. My question is how to get the icon for a given file extension, but without actually loading up a file of such type.
I had the idea to just create a blank file for the extension and then delete it once i have the bitmap for its icon, but that seemed like too much trouble and kinda inefficient.
So for example i want to get the icon associated with a .txt file, or .html file. Is their any way of doing such without having to directly reference and existing file , or create a temporary one as mentioned above?
i got an xml fed into flash that creates multiple icons. When icon is clicked it will load an external swf into a container. I am having issues with this part:
Here is question
Why does this work in a test file:
myContainer._lockroot = true;
myContainer.loadMovie("movie.swf");
xml:
myContainer._lockroot = true;
myContainer.loadMovie(this.link);
this.link refers to location of swf file that is related to the icon pressed in xml.Everything works fine and dandy however here is the trouble, they all have different parameters and when loaded into another container thus in a swf they lose some of these. However in my test file when it is simple and straight just 2 lines of code (see above) everything works.
How much does a reference/pointer to an object cost in terms of memory and performance in Actionscript 3? Are weak references( using Dictionary object) less, the same or more overhead?
View 1 Repliesi have a orgin server and 2 edge servers and a load balancer
first off im confused in each edge server i set them to be remote, rtmp and changed the routeentry to <RouteEntry>*:*;96.44.***.***:1935</RouteEntry> on both servers
orgin server is just local
what my question is im streaming to orgin and its getting sent to 1 edge and other edge is doing nothing no traffic the stream i set it this way url:
'rtmp://173.254.***.***/live/live_test',
which is the 1 edge thats working if i setup another channel pointing to the other edge server ip adresss it doesnt work.. what am i doing wrong isnt all this supposed to be load balanced or am i missing steps...or did i do it wrong on the flash player config.
Situation: Got a flash object with an icon bar (div with pngs) on top of it. Works on all browsers except Firefox 3.6 on Ubuntu 8. Example: http://ListAndPlay.com
Problem: Icons suddenly disappear after the flash is being loaded. See this screenshot: http:[url]...What I've tried: Setting z-index, recoding the JQuery behind it, nothing works.
Anyone successfully added an icon to their tabs in <s:TabbedMobileApplication> ? I've tried just using something like:
<s:ViewNavigator firstView="views.appmobile_HOME" width="100%" height="100%" icon="@Embed(source='../assets/home_icon.png')"/>
I've also tried in <fx:Script> something like:
[Code]...
Neither of these methods worked, and to be safe i used the same code to embed an image on the screen and it works!. I just can't seem to get the icons to appear in the tabs also note - I was doing all of this in my main mxml file, just incase you're familiar with the Flex Burrito "Mobile application" file structure. And another thing is that I don't get any errors when trying these methods. It lets me compile and test it.
I am not new to html or flash but, some what new to XML. I created a carousel based off the tutorials and it works great on my computer but, when I create an html file and attach the .swf file the flash file loads but, the icon images or anything from the .xml file doesn't appear.This is what I use to load my .swf file :
<div id="spacer">
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" [code].....
Do I have to put a special script in the html document for it to be able to see the xml file?
I have a cursor class and i wanna make it so the cursor change to state 'over' whenever the hand cursor is there. I dont want to add an event listener for every roll over in my page.

Does anyone know how I would load up a flex application and on load the application would open on a different tab within the application. The only thing I can think of is sending a parameter into the application to tell it where to go, but how does the app load that tab then?
View 1 RepliesI've developed a quick video player that pre-loads, auto-plays and then finishes with a frame at the end that allows the user to play the video again, but a recent discovery is that the video reloads as a user browses through a few fields on the site (represent via string at the end of the URL).
What I'd like is that if you arive at index.aspx it starts the video at the preloader, but if you then move onto index.aspx?ID=1234 it goes straight to the scene with the replay function. The AS I'm using at the moment in the first scene is:
if (_url == "http://www.mydomain.com/index.aspx") {
gotoAndPlay("Preloader", 1)
} else {
gotoAndPlay("Replay", 1)
}
but I'm getting nothing from it.
I have two domains pointing to the same swf. So I have domain "A" and "B" where my swf (site) is hosted at "A". Domain "B" loads site "A".
The swf loads some vars from a DB, when seeing site directly at domain "A" I have no problems, but when seeing with domain "B", my site just freezes....giving an error at the Browser and I have to close. This is for FF and IE.
At first I thought this was cross domain policies, so I have put at my swf the following code:
Code:
System.security.allowDomain("B")
