View 5 RepliesI have buttons on my main timeline which calls a MC using attachmovie(). I have placed an EmptyMC on my main timleline for the MC to be inserted. Now, this particular MC has buttons on it which work fine. However, when I add a throw component onto the EmptyMC, which basicly lets me drag/throw my attached mc, the buttons are disabled. How can I go about correcting this?
Here is the code for the button on the main timeline:
on (release) {
_root.EmptyMC.attachMovie("Content Def", "Clip2", 1);
}
Here is the code from the component I have attached to the EmptyMC:
#initclip 0
function ThrowBehaviorClass(){
// get the target
var target = this._parent[this._targetInstanceName];
// set up the various properties

I'm creating a map in flash and I would like to have a smooth movement similar to this:[URL]..i have made a start but I'm having trouble taking it to the next stage.
My code currently throws the movieclip after the mouse is release but there is no easing while the mouse button is down.

I've created a 3 state button, then imported it to a movie clip. I want to use a set of 6 of the identical buttons as navigation controls, so I've created 6 instances all named uniquely. My problem seems terribly simple, but I can't find an answer anywhere and I've spent hours going in circles.
No matter how I put a text label on the button (right now it is built into the button as dynamic text), when running the final file when the user's mouse is on the text the button cannot be clicked - it disables the button. So I have 6 buttons that cannot be clicked unless the user clicks right on the edge of the button (not on any part of the text). Is there not a simple way to overcome this? How do I make the text part of the button so it is clickable as well?
I am trying to create a drag and throw effect I have most of the effect working correctly but I am wondering how to only move one item at a time and have that thrown unaffected til the friction brings the item to a stop. what happens currently is if an mc is moving and you select another it moves both items.
Code:
var mx0; // Previous Mouse X Position
var my0; // Previous Mouse Y Position
var velocityX = 0; // Velocity in X Direction[code]...................

I'm stuck trying to achieve something in AS2. The principle is easy: the user can drag/throw a timeline (with thumbnails) around, but I want it to snap to certain positions. I've created an example to show what I need ,You can already drag/throw the timeline around, but, as it slows down, I want it to always snap into a position where one of the purple rectangles snaps to the grey area so a thumbnail is always covering the grey area.
So when you throw the timeline hard enough, it would fly quite far (speed of timeline > attraction force of the snapping points), but as it slows down, the snapping force takes over and the timeline snaps in place.
I have a few online magazines I run and I have noticed that when in full screen mode in Google Chrome, all my buttons, everything is disabled I just have a 'hand' for a mouse and nothing works.
My fullscreen option works on all other browsers its only Google Chrome it seems to of disabled any user interaction whilst in full screen mode.
I have tried searching but cant find any similar problems, and need this fixed ASAP. You Tube works in full screen mode on Google Chrome, so it cant just be a Google Chrome bug. Maybe there are some added security features you have to code for in Google Chrome.
Here is a link, make sure you are using Google Chrome or you wont replicate the error.
Try the navigation on the top bar, then click full screen top left, then notice how no buttons work anymore.

I'm developing a flex application and I want to access a component by using it's id.
I know I must use .property of the component. The problem is I have the component Id in a String var and now I don't know how to access to it's properties.
I want it to while still easing into place like the iphone does. For example my stage is 550px. The drag and throw MC is 1650. That's 550x3. If the first image is showing starting at x axis 0 and you drag to the left it will ease into place stopping and showing the second image stopping the image at x axis 0. And the same thing scrolling to the next one and scrolling back. So the code is below and I've attached the movie that I'm working on.

I'm building this game, and it was working fine, until I used the menuBar component. It's not code related, 'cause i've commented out the script that does things with the menuBar. If I drag the MenuBar component from the component window, onto my Stage , the game refuses to work. If I deleet it (but keep it IN my library), it still doesn't work!. But if I turn the export settings of the MenuBar off, it works! The classes that i'm using for my game are called Node.as, JawBreaker.as The class I want to use to do something with the menuBar is called GameMenu.as (but that doesn't matter, since I commented the calling of that class out).
View 1 RepliesI've got a windows that I can move with the startDrag script. This works just perfectly fine. When I load some text into a textbox inside the mc (window mc) the drag-script isn't working, neither is the close window script. But the text loads just fine. Why is this happening? I haven't changed anything in any of the scripts. If I just delete the loadVariablesNum("info.txt",0); line I can move the windows again.
View 4 Repliesi have a for loop to attach a movieclip X times, and an Array with several color codes to apply in the loop.everything works fine with the setRGB. the movies have an internal background movieclip that gets the color i want to apply.
the thing is the movieclip's loose the animation i created to that internal movie (the one who get's the color). they do not respond to gotoAndPlay, or gotoAndStop...i disabled the setRGB lines, and the movie's play fine now. does setRGB transform my movieclips to a bitmap or something? disabling every animation inside?
So I'm trying my hand at writing my first tower defense game and I've discovered a snag. One part of the game involves keyboard input, but if I click on an object to create a tower, then the keyboard stops responding until I click on the background. My keyboard listeners are attached to the stage and the object being clicked is a button in a MovieClip added to the game's MovieClip.
View 4 RepliesI am rather new to AS3 and I have a few difficulties with the new buttons usage. I have a Document Class in which the Keyboard is used to navigate a Child. There is also another Child of a different class, which is kind of a popup box that you can open and close by separate buttons. The close button lies inside the popup box class. However, when I click this button to close the box, removing the Child, keyboard actions don't react until I click on the screen once more.The same happens when I click a button that goes to the next frame, in which the button isn't there anymore, but keyboard actions are requested. But they only work, once I click inside the swf screen again.
View 6 RepliesWhen i put a dropshadowfilter on a dynamic textfield with html-content, the links (a href) stop working.The textfields rotate in flash 3D space so they have a transformmatrix applied to them. Could this be the reason? Anybody had problems with html-links and dropshadowfilter applied to the textfield? it makes no difference if you put the filter on the textfield itself or the movieclip container around it.
View 2 RepliesWe are the developers of a complex Flash component (url...) which worked without issues on Flash CS3 and CS4. Now, in Flash CS5 (both Mac and Windows versions) we have found a couple of problems at author-time
-1- After installing the mxp file containing the component, when trying to drag the component from the Components panel to the stage, or to the Library panel, it doesn't work. There's no way to import the component!
-2- If we open an existing FLA (created with Flash CS4), the component doesn't show correctly at author-time: you only get a black frame, instead of the expected result (it should show a white background with a logo in the middle). When compiling, everything works fine.
I have created a Box component and inside it I have more then 2-3 labels placed. I need to drag the whole box component and move to different place at canvas. Technically Box type is a container type but I need to keepit all the labels inside and want to move it. Is there any way we can do that? UPDATED : Can we create any external component that allow us to drag the main box?

I need to drag the child component in the parent such a way that the child component can replace the place they have in parent. E.g. If I have a 3 button a,b,c inside a panel and need to movie the position of a,b,c with drag and drop the placement could be b, a, c or c, a, b and so on.

I installed the .swc file in my Components folder. When I open my Components window, I can see it sitting right there. However, I can't seem to drag an instance of it onto the Stage. It highlights in the window when I click it, as I drag it I can see the little dotted-outline box indicating that something's being dragged, but when I release it it disappears. Nothing on the Stage, nothing in the Library.

View 1 RepliesI am basically trying to create a menu which can be dragged across the stage. I have created a main movieclip which acts as the holder. This is the movieclip that gets dragged around. Within that movieclip there are 6 buttons. I am using the MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN and MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP eventlisteners to control the dragging however it is not working correctly.
When i compile to SWF it is fine. I click down the mouse button on the movieclip and It will start dragging however if i let go of the button it registers a click. Obviously i don't want it to do that but i'm not sure why it is registering a click as i thought that i was just releasing the button...
The second problem is if i move the mouse cursor off of the movieclip but i still have the mouse button pressed it will continue dragging the movieclip about, even if i then let go of the button.[code]...
script that would allow the user to clikc and drag mulitple symbols- similar to this:
on (press) { startDrag (this._parent, false);}
on (release) { stopDrag ()}Only that instead of using "this", it drags the following symbols on mouse click:

I found code that enables my movie clip to have click and drag rotation.Not sure how this works exactly, but it does. Now I've placed buttons that show details when moused over, and I had to repeat them for every keyframe of the movie clip to have them follow the rotation of the images in the movie clip.My question is how do I now enable these detail buttons to be hidden and shown globally?I have enabled a hide/show button to change the visibility of one of the detail buttons as a test (on the tire of the race car), but what happens is the hide state gets lost as soon as you click and drag to a new keyframe and the button shows up again without having pressed the "show" button. What do I need to have the detail buttons stay hidden throughout the clip until the "show" button is pressed?Here's the swf for reference: http:[url].......And here's the current actionscript:
