i have got a problem with actionscripting.That is i created 3 tab buttons and each tab buttons has got its symbols.I want to drag and drop them onto the canvas ,using drag and drop,but however when i click the second tab button the first symbol that i drag to the stage dissapears?Anyone knows how to make it stay .Is like a Signage developer for LTA(Land Transport Authority) Designer.
View 1 RepliesMy issue is that I want to not continue to draw the same movieclip over again, but reuse it to drag and drop in different locations in the project I am working on.review my Flash project and tell me how this can be done, I was told about bitmap cache, but that does not seem to work or I am missing some code needed, I really need guidance on this issue.Again attached is the one of the projects with action script
hyp1.onPress = function(){startDrag(this);}hyp1.onRelease = function(){stopDrag();}hyp2.onPress = function(){startDrag(this);}hyp2.onRelease = function(){stopDrag();}hyp3.onPress = function(){startDrag(this);}hyp3.onRelease = function(){stopDrag();}
Once I drag and drop the movie clip symbol it will not release the symbol in sum cases I am sending the code. See code below:
f(subject2);
function f(mc:MovieClip):Void{
mc.onPress =function(){
if(!this.index){
this.index=1;

I am looking for a way to remove a movieclip from the stage when it is dropped (after a pause) and then have a new random movieclip appear at a specific point on the stage, which can then be dragged and dropped onto its own target (which repeats the process).
Code:
var movieArray:Array = new Array();
movieArray = ["Red", "Green" , "Blue"];[code].....
3 circles which can be dragged over a target (one for each circle)When the circle is placed on its target it loads its respective xml playlist into 4 buttons (play, pause, forward, back)I want to be able to create some kind of function to control the volume, either using a slider or a rotary dial, whichever is easiest!
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to make a simulation where a person can drag 2 different objects to any 4 predefined targets on the stage. Based on the position of the 2 objects there will be a different output text. I hope I described that clearly. I would also like the 2 objects to snap to the 4 targets. Im very new to AS. Im starting to be able to read it a bit but still can not wright it.

I want to have an image and when I click on the image ,one can hold down the mouse and drag a copy to where ever on the stage and when one lets go, one can drag another and another with each copy still being able to be dragged after released.this is what i have but its pretty simple and doesn't work....

View 3 RepliesIm trying to do a drag and drop system where the user can drag a movie clip into an area. Although i would like to make it snap to a target instead of just sitting wherever it lands in the area. Problem Two:
The next thing i am trying to do is when the user has a movie clip on a target already, and trys to put another movie clip in that target area, it will replace the one thats in there and go back to its current position. Here is the script of what i have done so far:

View 1 RepliesI have added drag and drop to some of my custom components.The drag event is fired on mouse down.If you mouse down and move the component around then drop it repeatedly its fine.But if you mousedown and drag the component around drop it and THEN just click on the component it inits the drag but doesn't fire the drop event.Its almost like you have to move the component for it to fire the drag drop event.This is very annoying as i'm removing the component on drag init and adding it again on drop, so just clicking on it makes it disappear.

I have an .fla I created a while ago. In it is a movie clip in my library which I now want to use in a new .fla. This movie clip is reliant however on an image which is also in the library. I have tried selected both the image and movie clip, copy them, and paste them into my new library, but this doesnt work. I have tried cutting... I have tried duplicating and copying the duplicate. Nothing seems to work. Is there anyway of getting a symbol from one library into another?

I've got a question which is primarily an OOP question, but it is specific to AS3 in it's implementation.
I writing an interface which consists of displaying a (circuit) card rack which holds twenty cards of various types. Some of the properties of the cards are common to all cards such as slot number, card type, id, etc. They also behave similar when clicked on, taking you to another view.
It seems to make sense to create an abstract class (Card) that has all the common properties and behavior of all the cards, and then extend that class to create the specific card types, but the problem is that the display objects representing the cards are movie clip symbols in the library.
It boils down to this question: How do I extend a class that is already extending the movie clip class (a symbol in the library)? I know that AS3 doesn't allow it, but I figured someone has probably run in to something like this before.
Does anyone know if it's possible to have Graphic-type symbols in a shared library as it won't let you add an identifier to them? It's ok to use Move Clips but they increase the file size.

I'm using Flash CS4 with Win7 and if I create a movieclip symbol in an FLA file such class name such as GreenBox. When I put the following line into my actionscipt 3.0 code, I get the error: "You cannot debug this swf because it does not contain actionscript.The line of code is:vargreenBox:Green Box = new GreenBox();Any ideas what's going on. Never had these problems with CS3 and Win XP.I did double check to see if I had the debugger version on Flash Player.
View 10 RepliesI've started a new cs3 flash file. I've created a few symbols, scattered them about the stage, then gone to start writing my class file. I've created the class fine and i have created an external .as with the same name as the fla file (miniGolf.fla and miniGolf.as). The problem is that i can't link the fla to the .as. Every time I click the little pencil icon I get an error saying:
"You must specify a unique class name that is not associated with any library symbols"
how Flash handles garbage collection of the library symbols? E.g. If I attach a Bitmap symbol to a MovieClip symbol(drag to the first frame, MovieClip linked to a MovieClipClass) Is the following enough to make the movieclip eligitable for garbage collection?e.g.
ActionScript Code:
var mc:MovieClipClass = new MovieClipClass();
addChild(mc);
//some time later
removeChild(mc);
mc = null;
I wonder if it will remove the bitmap loaded as well, or at least make it eligitable. I'm loading massive bitmaps, when I create other new MovieClipClass I notice the image loads instantly as oppose to that bit of lag.Or is there a different way to manage the bitmaps for the bitmap symbols?
I've created a few symbols (movie clips) in my library. They are basically "panels" for user input etc. I've sized them carefully and do my best to have them stay within a 320x240 size. But when I load them they come in with larger width and height dimensions...as if there are some objects/symbols/graphics that are invisible or something.
This happens with EVERY library movieclip i've created.
So I added a bitmap to my library in flash CS5, and in its symbol properties I checked "Export for AS" and "Export in Frame 2" (I set Export Classes in Frame: 2 in AS settings.) On the first frame of my main timeline, I have
Code:
trace("loaderInfo.bytesTotal: " + loaderInfo.bytesTotal);
trace("loaderInfo.bytesLoaded: " + loaderInfo.bytesLoaded);

I have a fairly complex symbol with a few moving parts, and I want to be able to access a label on the symbol to add text. When i just load the clip
PHP Code:
var x = new fm_Input(); // instanc in libraryaddChild(x);
it shows the default text.

I have just started using Flash CS5 recently and have a question about the classic tween. I have noticed that when I make a classic tween Flash automatically makes symbols out of my grouped objects. I have worked with previous versions and it was sufficient to just group my objects on the stage to make a tween. Is there a way to turn this feature off? I'm an animator and it's very annoying and messy to make a symbol out of all the objects I want to animate.
View 3 RepliesI have a package that extends my sound class that I want to also control the alpha of an existing symbol on my stage. I have read that this would be ideally done through some sort of event listener but I can't find a way to do it. Basically, my package generates a wavelength that I want to control the alpha of an existing library symbol. I have gotten examples to work the way I wish but can't seem to get my package to access the main .swf's library.
Here's the code:
package {import flash.events.SampleDataEvent;
import flash.media.Sound;
/**
* A dynamically generated binaural beat carrier wave Sound with frequency easing.

I have asked this question in another forum but haven't got an answer yet. I have just started using Flash CS5 recently and have a question about the classic tween. I have noticed that when I make a classic tween Flash automatically makes symbols out of my grouped objects.

I'm an animator and it's very annoying and messy to make a symbol out of all the objects I want to animate.
When I add a tween (CS3) I always used the Properties panel and choose "motion" from the tween settings. This way there's no symbols added in the library. Just noticed that there are also tween symbols added if I add a tween using right Mouse click or via the menu Insert>Timeline>CreateMotionTween. Never used this before. But I can't seem to see any tween settings on the properties tab anymore in CS5.
I would like to keep my project library tidy, which means deleting symbols I end up not using. However, I want to be able to find these symbols later in case I do end up wanting to use them for a related project. Can I create a library outside of a project, so I can drop these items into it for later use?
View 1 RepliesI am loading an external SWF containing uninstantiated MovieClip Symbols. I can get the SWF loaded, no problem. If I call:loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition( "TestClip" ) as ClassI get the class of a Library symbol called "TestClip", which I can then instantiate. Jawesome.The issue I'm having is that basically I want to have access to all of the Library symbols without needing to explicitly know their names. I was hoping to use:
describeType( loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain );
...to get reflective access to the Library symbols, but the XML returned doesn't seem to include any references to them. Perhaps I'm calling it on the wrong object? I also don't want to have to explicitly create coded instances to gain access. This is for a tool for Flash artists, and it's important to avoid code, even simple code.
