On the DateChooser component, it shows the days for only the current month... but i'd like to show some of the previous month's days and some of the next month's days.Is there a property to set on the DateChooser component to show 42 days. I mean, to show some of the previous month's days + the current month's days + some of the next month's days. I'm not sure what this is called...If you look at a typical month calendar, for example for June 2011 it shows:
S M T W Th F Sa
20 30 31 1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8 9 10 11
[code].....
Is there a property that I've overlooked which shows some of the days from the prev. month and next month in the current month view? Or would I need to extend the DateChooser component and override a method?
I'm having a small problem trying to build a simple little Menu Bar. I'm trying to make it so that if I click on one button (Movie Clip) it will make it look different, and then if I click on a DIFferent button (Movie Clip) it will make the old one normal, and the new one look like it is selected.
I tried doing so by creating a function that checked what page I'm currently in, and changed the look of the MCs accordingly, but when I run it, I keep getting the following error[code]...
I'm having trouble creating a simple menu that you navigate with keys, rather than just a bunch of buttons you navigate with the mouse. What I want is a nice, easy way to make menus, where you have 1 item selected, and you can navigate around to the others with the keyboard.You need to be able to move up, down, left and right. If you go too far over, it returns you to the other side. know this should be really simple, but I can't seem to be able to create a simple function that will work for this. I have tried a bunch of nonsense, but I figure there's probably an easy way that everyone uses. Unfortunatly, whenever you search "menu" in any flash tutorial site, it brings up a bunch of tutorials on button menus.
View 1 Repliesim trying to create a simple drop down menu. this is the code I have typed out so far.
menu_mc.visible = false;
nav_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, buttonHandler);
function buttonHandler (evt)
{

What I am trying to acheive is that when the mouse rolls off the button, the menu disappears, the same when the mouse rolls of the menu, the sticking point is the rolling off the button to make the menu disappear.
I'm having a bit of trouble getting a button in a hoover over drop down menu to link to another scene in the .swf movie. I just doing a basic drop down menu (example here: [URL] with a couple of buttons with in a movie clip, the movie clip being the "button" someone hoovers over. The buttons however are not going to the corrisponding scene I have them set up to. What's strange is that if I set in the buttons action panel to go to an url instead of a scene, in the .swf movie the button works when I click it...it wants to go the specificed url. Nothing happens when it's set to go to a scene.

i have 8 errors and I cant figure out how to correct them so the way this quiz is suppose to work is you select the right answer goes to a congrads page
The website has 5 main-menu items called : Home / Speellijst / Van toen tot nu / media / contact / . a preview of the project can be visited here : [URL]
So when someone clicks "Van toen tot nu" (= an item about her past theatre plays), it displays a new menu that holds chronological buttons. Once someone cliks one of those, an extra element should show that displays info.
So in the element holding all the buttons on frame one AS says:
robbieknop.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,robtx t);
function robtxt(event:MouseEvent):void
{
root.toenclip.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
EXTA INFO:
* the 1st button has the instance name : 'robbieknop'
* a clip that holds the info on each frame seperatly has the name : 'toenclip'
* 'toenclip' has an empty 1st frame, the 2nd holds the info that should display while pushing the instance 'robbieknop'
* 'toenclip' is present on stage when 'van Toen tot nu' has been loaded, it is invisible (empty frame)
So far I can't get it to work, I don't get any error messages and everything else displays 'according to plan'
How do you code simple buttons and complex buttons that show they are on or have been activated? I want my interface to be able to tell my users that they are in a specific area by highlighting the button on my menus. (Just like the navigation menu for [URL]).
View 2 Replieswhere can find a tutorial or Tree Menu like the astra Tree Menu with a functional horizontal slider? I am dont know how to make the changes. All I need is the simple astra tree menu but I NEED that horizontal slider.
View 0 Repliesjust wondering why this isn't working :
Code:
var nav:Boolean = true;
var element:String = "home"; [code]....
Its so that a menu will move right across the screen if the variable is true, and if its false, it'll move left back to its original position.... i achieved this using a motion tween and telling the mc to go to the frame and play, but that didn't work in the end because if the menu bar was on the left side, and it was told to move to the left, then it would disappear,and appear on the other side.... so in other words it screwed up

View 3 RepliesI have 31 XML files, each containing words (A.xml for all the words beginning with the letter "A" and so on).The XML formatting is as follows:
Code:
<words><word>aaa</word>
<word>aab</word>
</words>
(All the words are in alphabetical order)All in all, I have around 400,000 words neatly organized in 31 XMLs.
1. The CPU randomly picks a letter from A to Z. Based on that letter, it loads the appropriate XML file. From that XML file, it randomly loads one word (and when it first loads it, it skips words ending in "nt" - last two characters).
2. When it is presented with the word, the user needs to type in another word, which must start with the two characters that the previous word ended with. Here, the same rule of "nt" applies. Also, Flash needs to check if the word is valid (must check inside the XMLs for the word.
3. If the word is valid, Flash picks another word that starts with the last two characters of the previous word. (Here, the "nt" rule doesn't apply).
I came from Python programming where functions in Date class are very rich, so i have some problem in Flex/as3 :

We have an application in which the user has to enter a date who's value is no more than 30 days after the the current date (the date on which the user uses the application). This is a Flash application, therefore I need a way to add 30 days to the current date, and get the right date. [code]...

View 4 RepliesIn Flash CS3 when you did Modify/Document it allowed you to type in a document Title and Description which were metadata searchable by internet search engines. According to the book "Brilliant Flash CS4" this is still possible in CS4, but I think they have removed the option, and the book is wrong. add metadata for searching to FLA documents or is this now gone?
View 1 RepliesUsually when I am looking for a specific field name, section of code or variable, I will run a GREP regex search to search through my ASP files, which works great as they are just stored as plain text, however I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to do the same with ".fla" files.
The GREP search looks through all my files in one go and returns a list of files which match the search terms; but wouldn't work on .fla files as the actionscript is not stored as plain text. Possibly this would work if I converted all my ".fla"s to use seperate ".as" files but this would be a lot of work and I'd rather avoid it if possible.
I have this XML:

I have a few different XML documents that get loaded into my app. What I would like to know how to do is search the incoming XML string for a certain attribute (apple or peach) then route its use to the correct location.example:
<boringExample1 apple ="somevalue" ... />
<boringExample2 peach="somevalue" ... />
I am not trying to read the value of the attribute but the name of attribute itself. if my XML string has apple attribute go here else if my XML string has peach attribute go there. I hope that makes sense

View 1 RepliesI have gone thru the Kirupa's tutorial "Using XML in Flash CS3/AS3", and it helped a lot in my project. Now, I have a question in XML searching. If an attribute's value is say title="kirupa tutorial" and a user wanted to search only the word "kirupa", then how can i get this node of xml, which title is "kirupa tutorial"..
@title == "kirupa" only works when the whole word matches the value of "title" attribute, but i want to search a partial word.

View 2 RepliesI use this script currently to determine the difference between two dates:
[Code]...
The problem with this is I want to monitor the actual physical day change so if someone accessed the application at 11:59 PM and then came back 5 minutes later this would register as a 1 day difference (a new day), this current script requires atleast 12 hours to have passed between two dates for it to register as a new day.
I have thought about using the date number etc, but because months and years are so different it is quite a complex route, there must be something simpler.
i created a DATE object.
Code:
var myTime:Date = new Date(2008,9,19,12,0,0);
now I would like to add 7 days to myTime. do I need to convert myTime to milliseconds? how can I do this?
P.S. Im using AS 3.0
I've got a number of days from the date to today. Like 1689 days. How can I get from this the date subtraction past days with date?
