ActionScript 2.0 :: "Current Selection Can't Have Actions Applied To It" Error Message

May 20, 2005

I'm just trying to get started with very basic AS 2. I have two books, (Understanding Flash MX 2004 ActionScript 2, by Alex Michael, and Animation and Effects with Flash MX 2004) All of the very basic ActionScripts I've attempted from both books result in the "Current selection cannot have actions applied to it" error message.

Here's an example from Michael's book, which is for putting an event handler in a movie clip. I'm going to write all of the instructions just so you know I'm following them: 1. Create a new movie. 2. Draw a circle on the stage. 3. Select the circle and convert it to a symbol. 4. Name the symbol circle and select movie clip as the behavior. 5. Click OK. 6. Select the circle movie clip. 7. Open the Actions panel window. 8. Type in the following[code]...

I am following the Dress-Up game. I have created a button, dragged it into the Movie-Clip, and then went back to the scene, and selected it, right clicked, and clicked Actions."Current Selection" is selected, and it says "Current selection cannot have actions applied to it".

when I try to add this action to Scene 1, or Symbol Definitions it is a syntax error, and says extra characters as the reason.The script I am trying to use to make my Ball movable is;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Current Selections Can Not Have Action Applied To It Error

Jul 31, 2009

I just got CS4 and was following some tutorials for what I wanted to do. I Created a button and then inside of that button I created a movie clip in the keyframe "Up." In that movieclip I created a keyframe at frame 10 and created motion tween. I went to put a stop action in frame 10 and it says the current selection can not have action applied to it. I cant write any code for the button at this stage and I am not sure why.

Actionscript 2.0 :: V2 ComboBox Not Showing Current Selection?

May 5, 2008

I am building a website for an online store in Flash 8. I needed to use a dropdown menu for selecting the size of a clothing item, so I just used the default ComboBox component. I thought it was working fine, until I came across a strange bug (with the component, or my own code) where the ComboBox was not showing the current selected item.

The dropdown's list works, and shows all the options, but if you click on one, it doesn't get displayed as the current selection in its TextBox. The weird thing is that it still works fine, and I can access the data ok. If I use myComboBox.text I can access the current selections text, even though Nothing is being displayed.

Has anyone come across this before, and has any suggestions for what I am doing wrong.

A few details: Here is the actual code I am using to load the options into the ComboBox: Code: Select allvar my_cb:ComboBox = this.pages.product.size_comboBox;
my_cb.removeAll();

var sizesList:Object = productData[categoryID][productID]["sizes"];
for(var s in sizesList){
my_cb.addItem({data:s, label:sizesList[s]});
}
my_cb.redraw();

There are a number of other things happening the same time as its adding the items to the comboBox, e.g. loading images, creating movieClips, etc. Could loading this be causing the comboBox to not function properly.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Add Or Subtract "1" From The Current Selection?

May 6, 2009

Lets say I have 4 items on the stage item1_mc, item2_mc, etc...they're stacked vertically with a small space between them. I wish to cycle through these items with two keys, up and down respectively...how would I go about doing this?

My current idea is to create an array of these items and have each press of the key add or subtract "1" from the current selection...is this the correct method to pursue? Are there better options?

IDE :: CS4 Jsfl - Fl.getDocumentDOM().selection Doesn't Retain The Selection Order

Nov 11, 2010

I never realized that fl.getDocumentDOM().selection doesn't retain the selection order... <sniff>. I was hoping to build relationships based on the order. I guess I took if for granted that tools like Maya and Max store the selection buffer in order of what was selected. I'm trying to avoid: Select Object, <Press 'Parent' Button>, Select Parent, <Press 'Parent' Button>

ActionScript 3.0 :: Timeline Actions Ovverriding Actions In New Frame?

Jun 19, 2011

I have a series of frames one the timeline. Each frame has a graphic and a mouse click leads to the next frame. Think Myst.

[Code]...

When the middle frame is returned to, clicks no longer change anything. I believe that the actions of the 'left' frame are replacing the one's in the middle frame so then it is told to gotoAndStop to itself.

I'd like to know if that is indeed what is happening and how I can make it stop.

ActionScript 2.0 :: OOP Applied To MovieClips?

Nov 12, 2004

i've been trying to get to grips with OOP and have so far managed to comprehend the basics of classes, methods, properties, the constructor function and property inheritance, helped by a number of examples and tutorials from the web and Moock's Actioncript - The Definitive Guide (O'Reilly). however, i've reached a sticking point when i try to apply these principles to actual movieClips. i want to attach movies from the library and control their properties using OOP, but i cannot work out how to apply the custom properties i've created to them. for example, i have a constructor Ball, with a property move, and i want to create movie clips ball1, ball2, ball3... which have properties such as radius and speed.

ActionScript 3.0 :: StartDrag Breaks When Rotation Applied?

Jun 14, 2009

I have narrowed my issue to this. If you create a sprite add a square and a startDrag on press to that sprite. then add that sprite as a child to a container sprite. Create a button on the same level as the container sprite and add a mouse click listener that causes container sprite to rotate using rotationY or X. Now run it, first you will notice you can drag the square no prob. Once you hit the button and rotate your container using rotationY or X the drag does not work. Other properties such as x, y , alpha can still be set but startDrag or stopDrag. I think this is a bug as I have found several people reporting on this but not solution.
