ActionScript 2.0 :: How To Highlight Selected Button
Aug 14, 2006
I will try to explain my problem (I'm swedish...); If you look at the fla posted here and the trace information in the output panel when published, you see what the button is called. What I need is a way to use this info to create a code that makes the button blacked when clicked on and back to grey when some other btn is clicked.
I have 3 buttons(say b1,b2,b3) in my app which are under the controlbaron clicking those buttons it will open new view(components)suppose if button b1 is clicked it should highlight the button b1(bg color change).how to go about this sorry if it is noob question as am new to this
If i open .as file (or something else) in Notepad++ and select any variable or some other text, it will highlight all of the occurences of this variable in text of this opened document. And you can quickly see where this variable have assignemnts and so on. But in Flash CS3 i can only use standard Find dialog to search throug opened .as file and it finds only one occurence, then you hit "Find Next" and you've got another. Not so comfortable. So does that feature exist in Flash CS IDE, or something similar? (i can't find that)
I have a Flex3 TextInput control, with white text on a black background. I would like to change the style of highlighted text within the control to use black text on a white background (or something similar). I would love to do this using Flex styles, however I'm comming up empty handed
I have a menu with many sub menus. I need to change the color of the selected button and then move on to the sub menu. My menu is horizontal and now it's not obvious the path that you follow.
In my code, when a user clicks on a button, I set the alpha of the button to 50 and set enabled=0. This works to essentially disable and grey out the button. The problem is that even though the button has been disabled, it still sits in the over state until the user moves the cursor off the hit area... Funny, no?
Since you can't tell a button what frame to go to, how do I get it to go back to its up state (without recreating all my buttons as movieclips and doing the whole thing manually)?
I have some buttons placed on stage. Every button has s baseclass, Button.as.
What i wonder is how i in my baseclass can highlight the button that was clicked.. and then when another button is clicked highlight that one instead.. some current-button functionality.[code]...
What I'm trying to do is highlight a movieclip button when it is clicked, and then remove that highlight when another movieclip button in the same menu is clicked.I think the problem is arising from the fact that the buttons temporarily highlight when rolled over. I have used the 'ROLL_OVER', and 'ROLL_OUT' event listeners to initiate the animation, so any attempt to keep the current button highlighted is quashed when the mouse is moved off the button.here is some of the code i have used
I like to know how to pursue this effect to have the active button highlighted. So visitors know which page are they on. Second part is how to have the fade out effect on the rest while have mouse over on certain text
i was trying to reproduce this nifty little effect of a springy rollover on a button, that can go from button to button, and also springs up when nothing is selected.
the effect i'm trying to reproduce is at:[URL]
go into the portfolio section and rollover any of the pieces. Now i've studied the tutorials for elasticity at kirupa and came up with a effect that is based on mouse-click and not on a button. [URL]
the 3 externally loaded SWFs rotate with fade in/outf effect on their own as well as per button click. What I would like to add to it is having the the buttons change appearance (Tint or anything) - just to show which slide the user is currently seeing. here's my code:
// Attach Musicvar req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("squeeak3.mp3");var sound:Sound = new Sound();var controller:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel(); var b:Boolean;
I have a menu with 5 selectable items. I would like to add a 6th. This is a side menu and they are stacked on top of each other.I would like to know how to highlight the current menu selection using flashvars and this page is html. Like I said I have searched but nothing is making sense and no one has offered to help as yet.Sometimes when I am browsing that site the flash menu up the top doesn't display, but hitting F5 brings it right up. There is a go to and play the last frame action in there. Could that be causing it? I have uploaded the file as well if anyone wants to have a look at that.Maybe someone can explain this to me Link to possible resolution. Here is a link to the page where it is in use, the site is yet to be finished.
I'm making a website in flash, inspired from this site : [URL]. I've done mouseover so that when you go over a circle you can see full text in the middle, but I don't know how to make the other "buttons"/circles fade white when I have my mouse over one of the circles. Please take a look at the webpage, it's kind of difficult to explain. [URL]. I'm using CS 5.5 and Actionscript 3
I have buttons with black text. The buttons (not the text) change colour to red when you rollover them. I can't seem to work out how to get the colour to stay red when it's clicked to show that it's selected. Do I make a duplicate symbol which is already red to replace it when clicked? And I'm also unsure of the actions I'm supposed to use if any??Another thing, when I click on a different button, I don't want the previous button to still be selected.
I am trying to build my first website and I follow the instructions of a videotutorial of flash 8. But in the second step (Making it work the buttons) when I had tried to add action to my selected button, appear a message like this....Cannot add actions to this selection (translated from spanish) Why?...Is a conflict between versions 8 and CS3?
I'm doing a simple 2 button menu. Each button is a movie clip with 3 labels for the states "none" "selected" and "hover". smartBtn needs to be set to "selected" on enter frame. When cinemaBtn gets clicked, smartBtn should go to its "none" state. But I'm not sure why smartBtn keeps on being selected.
I have a menu consist of many button and it have a rollover state of being colored and highlighted i want any button i selct to keep highlighted as it slected and when another button be selected the new one become highlighted here is thew cide i have and that' doesn't work.[code]...
how to get my magic buttons to stay 'selected' or highlighted until the next button is clicked. The highlighted state is 'released' (weird - but that's the case)
I've done an all-nighter & and am having a mind-blank.
I have a very simple DataGrid with 2 columns, some thing like this[code]...
What Im trying to do is to activate the edition of the selected row when the user clicks a button. So far I've been unable to find any example of how to do this. I already tried 6 or 7 different approaches but non works.
How do you get the selected row (NOT selectedItem) of a DataGrid and how can you:
Change the ItemRenderEditor or ItemRenderer on the fly of just that row.
Or enable the edition of that specific row without clicking it.
I've got a simple flash website with two buttons and I want them to link to two different URLs. Is there a way I can use the same for function to handle the hyperlinks. For instance...
[Code]...
What would I put in the 'if' condition? At the moment I've got 2 separate functions for each button hyperlink...just seems like a bit of a long winded way of doing it.
I have a script from a template I purchased that I need to edit.I have buttons that I want to stay active (ie, they still link back to the same page) once it's selected.Right now, when that button is the main button, it has no link attached to it.The portion of the script that I'm referring to is
onClipEvent (load) { num = 2; }[code]..............
I tried assigning it with CSS (text-selected-color) and failed, i tried putting <mx:SetProperty target="{textField}" name="textColor" value="0x999999" /> in my skin class in all "selected" states but it worked only when run (one of the buttons starts as selected).. as soon as i ran my mouse over it or clicked another button it reverted back to the original color.
Is there any way to disable a few columns for a particular row in flex datagrid?
I have a datagrid with about 10 or more columns, say for example a few column names are: Item Id, Item Name, Item Status and VerifiedState. Initially I want the column Verified State to be disabled.
Now When the value of the column, Item Status is Review Passed for a particular row, I want the column VerifiedState to be enabled and editable. Is that possible in Flex datagrid.
