I have an swf with a comboBox with three simple values. When I bring up the swf by itself it works fine. When I try to bring up the swf by loading it from another swf, I get a TypeError: Error 1009 "Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference, when I try to open its dropdown. If I add a ComboBox to the parent SWF's library the error goes away and everything works fine. Although I have a fix, I have several child swf's that I don't always know what components are in them.
View 2 RepliesI need to pass a lot of big variables to a browser window, but that window must be opened with Jscript, so it haves fixed size, no scrollbars, no menu and so on.Well, the Jscript window.open fails when i pass too long variables or too many of them. (I think it's for the querystring length, seems to be ok if I pass less variables or shorter ones);here it's my code

It rarely happened, I use a flash in exe type to access url in local server. It usually success to access the url. When it fail to access the url, open the ie to access the browser. the url works. After using browser, flash success to access the url. The url would return the JSON content. I use URLLoader to load url, and the return error is no responding when it happen.
If the error happen, it would not access the url even restart the computer.

I have an as class file that places some sprites at various positions around the stage, what I would like to then do is add event listeners to these sprites and do something starting from the x/y of that sprite (not the mouse x/y).
I'm populating an array with the created sprites and later looping through and assigning the event handler to the sprites but I can't seem to get any thing of any use out of them.
I'm calling the following function in a loop, each time I'm adding the returned point to an array (pointsArray) and then calling addChild.[code]...

For the life of me I just can't figure out a syntax to make button1thumbs.swf load into that movie clip, and I've tried all I can think of, but it's probably something dumb on my part.
So, it is possible to import a psd file to flash and have it all positioned correctly, if the PSD file is set to "Maximize PSD File Compability", however, the files(layers) does not appear in the XFL save in the LIBRARY folder, and the alpha and quality is horrific probably because the layer is taken from the composite layer, and not the real layer in PSDok, no need to worry yet, all we want is the correct position, that would save a lot of time, lets export the file from photoshop with the script, "export layers to file", then import the files in flash to the files we already imported and replace them in the flash library, Now this is where the problem arise, the file in the library, has some 'special treatment' done to it, and it is still not saved in the LIBRARY folder in the XFL save. When the high quality file replaces the trashy library item, the file disappears and probably gets saved in the bin folder as a

View 3 RepliesI have created a small flash move 40px x 40px and placed a movieclip in the centre of the stage. When I publish the file it positions the movieclip to the right of the published window. When I trace the movieclips x and y the movieclip position is correct. It almost looks like there is some sort of margin around it. Flash CS5
View 1 RepliesBasically I redraw a circular object ("moon") every frame, reposition it and rotate it. I want a gradient fill that's offset to the left (-x) by the circle's radius. Instead of wasting your time talking about what I think it might be, I'll just show you the code . . .
For simplicity's sake, I've changed the colors to blue, red, green (in that order). Only the last one's showing up. I've tweaked the vales in the matrix itself for hours, but I can't really change anything. I can get the gradient fill to center on the circle, but that's the best I've done so far . . .

var centerX = Stage.width/2;

I was wondering how "relative alignment" such as on the easybit-site (take the window and resize it) is done? All objects on the stage are positioned always relative to the actual window-size without losing quality, but how???
View 2 RepliesI am trying to populate a movie clip with buttons positioned by an xml file and have info windows pop up when you hover over these with images text and links in the info window which needs to resize based on the amount of content in it, also from the xml file.

View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know if it is possible to dynamically add a movie clip to the stage with text and have the size of the movie clip dynamically generated by the amount of text?In other words I am trying to make a word bubble but the amount of text in the bubble will vary in size and I need the bubble to size accordingly. Maybe someone knows of a tutorial online that I can use. My searches have not been successful.
View 2 RepliesI followed tutorial [URL] on making a gallery with thumbnails. However, each thumbnail has to be of same width....if not the order of the thumbs gets mixed up. I've been trying to alter the thumbnails_fn(k) function, or more precisely this line:

Ok im new here and to Flash programing... so its safe to assume that i know close to zip. I've based it on the "XML and Flash Photo Gallery" tutorial by one of the guys on here. The centering bit i looked at another forums post. I use a MC(bg) and inside that another MC(photo) two buttons "pervious_btn" "next_btn" I load my images via "images.xml" It loads everything and it centers the 1st image(276x184), but it keeps the 1st image coordinates for the rest which is 640x480 and 480x640... thats where the mess comes in. It doesnt center the next image.
I know lightbox is there and easy to use but I dont want to because of the settings you have to set on the Adobe site for it to allow access and all that... besides i really like Flash! Is there a way to perhaps "reset" the MC, or coordinates before loading the next image?

I am trying to copy multiple movieclips to one movieclip using BitmapData.
I am trying to clear out the old bitmapdata from the movieclip that I am adding my bitmapdata to. The two movieclips I am copying are different sizes and shapes so I can't just overlap them.
I have an attached movieclip that duplicates boxes vertically. All the boxes are different heights, because I've scripted it to adjust with the amount of xml text contained inside these boxes.
How do I get these boxes to line up right without overlapping eachother?

need to fill a grid with tiles that will be of different sizes,but all multiples of the stage size - something like this:I want to randomize number of tiles placed into the grid without having any tile overlap. It will then place a tile at a random position on the grid, but not in any grid cells that have already been covered by a tile. And...also I want the grid/tiles to be dynamic enough to scale if the stage is resized.
View 14 RepliesI was wanting to do a quick class that generates an image from another image similar to the way the Killers "Day and Age" album looked like: [URL] The problem I'm running into (mentally, haven't started coding yet) is that I'm not sure how to place all those randomly sized and placed circles on the stage in such a way that they will completely fill it.I have thought of two methods, but both seem inefficient:
1. Use Box2D to create a new area where randomly sized circles drop from the top of the screen and fill the screen. Then, when all circles have settled, just track the size and position of each.
2. Select a random spot on the screen. Create a new circle, and test how big it's maximum diameter can be until it bumps into other circles or reaches a set maximum diameter. If it cannot become larger than the smallest allowed diameter, don't place a circle there, but move on. Repeat until too many tries in a row don't allow you to place any more circles.
what is the as for opening a sized window off a link. for example, clicking an image thumbnail, and it opens larger in a window that fits the picture. with no adress bar, or stuff like that.
