I have tried a few ways but have failed to get text into a dynamic text field inside the window component. I need to get the following trace command to appear in the window component. I have a workable window component and that is not the issue. I just lack the knowledge of how to link dynamic text in a window that doesn't respond to absolute instance ID scope such as _root.yadayada.[code]

View 5 RepliesI have a dynamic text box with html enabled on it. There are hyperlinks in the text that I want the user to be able to click and have that link open in a new window. This is causing pop up blockers to go crazy though, and when the user allows popups it refreshes the window, losing their current location in the flash file.
I have been able to open a new window with some javascript and a geturl(), but this only seems to work with buttons. My textual hyperlinks are not buttons though. I have tried using asfunction in my href and then using geturl inside the function, which doesn't seem to work either. Open a new window without triggering popup blockers from an html enabled dynamic text link.
I am tying to make a number appear in a dynamic text window. I have a dynamic textfield on the stage with an instance name called count_txt. The code that I am using is shown below. Both tace statements show a value of 100 but nothing appears in the dynamic text window.
var count_txt:Number;
var n:Number;
n = 100;

View 1 RepliesI am using flash CS4, AS2 and have had a client request for something that I'm not sure is possible.
I have created a calculator that calculates the cost savings that my client offers their customers. There are many options available in the calculator and it is quite in depth. At one point there is a pull down menu where the site visitor can choose their product, then enter the amount they pay for it currently. If their product is not listed, the site visitor can choose "other" from the list.
Is it possible that when the client selects "other", the text IN the pull down component for that option could be dynamic, so that the site visitor can enter the name of their product? The product they enter does not need to be submitted anywhere, nor does it need to remain upon that visitor's next visit. It simply needs to be there for the duration of their current session, to help the client keep track of what product they are comparing.

View 1 RepliesI'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 RepliesWhat I am trying to do is rather simple, but I am having problems. All I want to do is pass the values entered into a TextInput component into a Dynamic Text Field I need this to be realtime, so when the user is entering the values it is updating in the text fields. I have 5 TextInput instances and 5 Dynamic Text Fields on the stage The TextInput values need to be passed to the Dynamic Text Boxes.
View 3 Repliesjust wondering if there was a free window/window component for as3 that will adress root problems
View 5 RepliesThe update to the Dynamic Text Box is always one character behind what is entered into the TextInput component. For instance my name is Shawn, if I enter "Shawn" into the Text Input the Dynamic Text Boxes will display "Shaw". It will only enter the "n" if I type another character then backspace it, deleting the extra character.
View 7 RepliesI have a custom component which contains many promptingTextInput controls. When i click a button, I want the text field of all the promptingTextInputs to become blank.

View 1 RepliesI had a question Yesterday, and posted in the Flash 8 Section of this forum...well, I have a question now...When I open a Window Component(with a movie clip inside it ...ofcourse) via Popup Manager from the Menu Component, the Window opens up, but I can't go back to the menu and open it. Any suggestions on how?Here is a part of my code (which I believe will summarize the rest of my code):

I have a window component on my main timeline that gets called up on several instances. When the popup window appears, everything looks fine, except that the user can still click on links that are now behind the actual popup window itself. My question is how do I keep those buttons from being active while the popup window is active?
View 2 RepliesI have an flv component in a flash document streaming from a capture card at [URL]
Flash Media Encoder is outputting at 320x240 and the FLV component on the stage is 150x112. The fullscreen button maximizes to the entire screen leaving the 320x240 video stream pixelated and distorted. I want a button to make the FLV component only go 320x240 in a popup window.
I'm working on an app that, from the Main.mxml, opens one or many Window.mxml instances. When it's done I want all windows to be chromeless so the custom controls need to work. In Main I've added applicationComplete="init();" so the init function gets ran, which contains clickhandlers, which makes the buttons work. However, this way of running an init function doesn't seem to be valid for an mx:Window. I can cheat by not using a clickhandler for the minimize and close buttons with a click="this.minimize();", but I don't know of a way like this to make the move work because it's a MOUSE_DOWN event.
Question 1: Is there a way to have such an init function in an mx:Window?
Question 2: What's a good way to make the buttons on the Window instances all work?

The problem i have is that i want to use the ui window component (in order to keep file size down, and it just works well) but i want to use multiple windows on the stage. It was simple to get them to open with PopUpManager.createPopUp and to intialise the close button with deletePopUp(). Now heres the big but i can't get a swapdepths function to work.I have added in an event listener for the close button and the swapdepths but only one fuction will work at a time, ie i can get the swap depth to work but you can't drag the windows or close them, or you can drag and close one window but the other will not do anything until the top one is closed.i know that it's a swapdepth problem but i can't work out where to put the swapdepth in the code to make all fuctions work at once.The code is below
var myq1:MovieClip = PopUpManager.createPopUp(_root, Window, true, {closeButton:true, title:"Question 1", contentPath:'q1'});
myq1.setSize(600,450);

View 3 RepliesI found two tutorials that both contain pieces of what i am looking for but i cant seem to figure them out and get exactly what i want. Here is the first one[url]...
In the first one, the general idea is what i am looking for. Except that i want to load a movieclip and not an image. My problem in this one is the button component that is used. I have no clue how to skin or customize the button, and i cant find a good tutorial to help me so i figured it might be easier to just change the actionscript for this. I want to be able to create my own button (instance button) and use that so that when people release that button, the movie clip pops up![url]...
In my application using the window component and dynamically create the movieclip .how to assign this movieclip to window component.
View 9 RepliesI'm trying to make a console for text based i/o. The output window needs to be able to print char by char in multiple colors, wrap horizontally and scroll vertically.Most of that isn't a problem with the default TextField class, but I'm having a lot of trouble getting the colors right.If I use the htmlText property and wrap each character with "<font color=000000></font>" it starts a new line each time I add text.TextFormats don't seem to work at all for some reason. I do something like this:
ActionScript Code:
var tf : TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf.color = FFFFF0;
textField.setTextFormat(tf);
...and then add the new text but nothing changes. Even if it worked, could I even use multiple TextFormats in a single textfield?I've been reading about this new "Flash Text Engine", and I'm wondering if there's some way that can help me, but I'm having trouble finding enough examples to understand how it works.
it's a box component that can be used then opening a window in a webpage...or for a button.

when I needed a method to communicate from the (linked) content in a scroll window component to a dynamically attached mc in front of the scroll window. The code was pretty simple!
Code:
calendarPagesBtn_mc.onRelease = function(){
_level0.slideHolder_mc.attachMovie("calendarPages", "calendarPages", _level0.slideHolder_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
};
And I've been using it quite a lot, as we create a lot of scrolling timelines with clickable callouts.
However now I need to be able to communicate from the attached mc BACK to the linked content of the scroll window. I've tried a few things and nothing's working yet.
EDIT: All I need to do I think is check if the mc in front of the scroll window is empty, but my mind is a blank right now.
