Working off the the tutorial here: [URL] I'm unable to get the onchangehandler working for the list component in MX 2004. I have just the basics and its still not working. I have a listbox named photolist, and I can fill it just fine but the onchangehandler isn't working. Below is the basic code that I have that isn't even tracing for the onchangehandler.

Is there a simple method of removing a selected Item in a listbox (v.2) which was populated dynamically?I have a feeling I have create a new function to loop thru the array again to remove the item that was selected.
View 7 RepliesI'm working to update a project that was created by someone else who left our company. It was done in AS2, so I'd like to keep it that way (without updating all the code to AS3). Here is a section of code that currently works:

topSales.addItem(item);

I am working on a selector that uses 2 list boxes. Standard stuff, you can move items from the left box with arrow buttons to the right box. However I can't seem to get the annoying green "halo" to go away whenever one of the boxes is selected. I have tried
lstbox._focusrect = false;
lstbox.enabled = false;
lstbox.setStyle("themeColor", "Sample");
Nothing seems to stop that highlight box from popping up. Funny thing is it doesn't pop up in the IDE only when I view the movie online in production.
Is there a way I can remove the event listener from Listbox component?
I tried to use:
Code:
note_mc.note_lb.removeEventListener("change", myEventListener);
how do I trace that the listener is removed?
i am using flash listbox component in my project. and i want to it's text alignment form left to right and it's scrollbar position is right to left.

View 1 RepliesI'm having problems with a simple flash site that contains a scrolling slide show, that uses a .xml file.I was sent a .fla file that I couldn't open with MX 2004 ... I asked them to save it as a MX 2004 file. They sent it back, and I was able to open it.The problem is ... when I save it as a .swf the slide show doesn't work.The .swf & .xml files are on the same level in the directory, and the .swf path to the .xml file is correct, also the .xml to the image folder path is correct.I have spent hours going through this, and can't get it to work.I have added images to the .xml file, and they show up (I am using the original .swf) so the .xml file is OK, and again the path from .xml to the images folder is correct. This is the working .swf file (click on the portfolio link )Now ... imagine no images there, and that's what I'm getting when I save the .fla as a .swf.Other changes I make to the .fla are working properly ... just the slideshow is the problem.Did something happen when the .fla was saved as a MX 2004 that caused the .xml part to stop working?IM not a whiz at actionscript, but I have gone over it several times, and can't see anything that looks out of place.

Can you please tell me why this isn't working? It takes me 10 minutes to test the movie every time and it's taking me forever to fix things. Do I have to do something else with the variable names I'm using or something?

How do I them apply the _root.pictures1. gogotoAndPlay("go");

I feel like I'm walking into a brain surgery symposium to get help opening a box of Band-Aids...I've tried pretty hard to find tutorials about this but no luck. I'm the densest person who's ever dared to start up Flash. I'm making a scheduling utility for students in my online classes, and I went out and found a "Date Picker" component which looks nice. I've downloaded it, but I can't get Flash CS4 to recognize it no matter what I do. The picker came from [URL]
First issue - there are a several different downloads. One contains only a file called Datepicker-v4.4.1.swc with a red envelope icon, the other is version 4.2 (I don't really care which version I end up with). The 4.2 yields a directory containing
[Code]...
I tried to do that, but my directory structure doesn't correspond to that path very well. (I don't have a Local Settings directory, first of all.) Looking for something analogous on my WinXP/CS4 machine I ended up at C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Flash CS4enConfiguration. That didn't have a Components directory so I made one, dropped DatePicker.swc into it, and nothing seemed to happen. (By that I mean, I started Flash, created an AS3 Flash file and opened the components palette, and nothing DatePicker-like was there.)
my flvplayback component is not working when i tried to pass the url of the video to be played from js to the actionscript.(using actionscript 2)
I properly embedded the swf and added the object ids as well. i just assigned the url to a string and then passed it to the function in the as but it's not working...
I have an FLV Playback component in a website that I'm working on and for some odd reason the controls do not work. The video loads and plays fine and the controls appear but you cant click on anything like you can when you assign the skin in the parameters. It is a default Flash skin. At first I thought it was due to the video layer being under a mask, so I moved it on top and it didnt change anything.

Ok so i have this dyanamic textbox called logtxt and i have a UIScrollbar attached to it. It works, but only if i add it through typing/pasting it into the textbox. I need it to work when i add the text through the code. (it is linked correctly through the components inspector)
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make a UI editor and I'm using a color picker component I found online. I've tried a couple different color picker components but they all seem to have the same issue. If I put an instance of the component on the stage and run the movie, it works fine. The text showing the current color (in hex) as well as any button labels show up and all is well. If I take that same component and put it in another movie clip and put THAT mc on the stage, all is still right with the world. However, if I give that mc a linkage ID and load it using an attachMovie call, all text is blank. I thought it may have to do with embedding, but the button labels are static text, so that shouldn't be an issue.
View 0 RepliesI know my way around basic Flash, I can work with script as long as I have script assist for basic things like getting URLs and linking buttons etc. I'm trying to create a "don't show this page again" on the opening page of a mini-site using a checkbox component and so far, I've dragged a checkbox onto the stage from the components window and only been able to change its label to "don't show again" from "checkbox" in the parameters window. I've given it the instance name of 'showAgainCheckBox' and I have this code on the component layer first frame looking like this.
Code:
Select allshowAgainCheckBox.addEventListener( Mouse.Click, onshowAgainClick );
function onShowAgainClick( e:MouseEvent ):void {
// do something about the click here
}
Of course the code is filled with errors from what I get of the compiler message. I've been trying to get the logic. So I might need like a 'checkbox component for dummies' kinda explanation.
I'm trying do a simple experiment here, coz I'm stuck with manage Focus because of the component.I'm trying :1. Put an Input Text to the stageYep, the focus works fine. If u click the input text>>the input text get focus, while u click the stage area outside the input text>>the input text lose focus , and so on.2. I put some component, i put a List comp.The focus just go mad, when u click the Input Text, then click stage/another object, the focus doesn't want to leave the Input text.How's that possible? There's no script totally.
View 2 RepliesI used a scrollbar component out of my Flash Library for a text field. It worked with no problems in the swf file . However, when I checked out my html file in my browser the thumb in the scrollbar was gone making it unusable.I built a new scrollbar from scratch and everything works again in both the swf and html.
View 2 RepliesOffline (on my drive) it works, but online (on my website) it loads the entire flv before displaying anything (..I get the animated barber shop sign scrub bar thing).Is there any additional coding or setup I need to do for it to allow me to play it even while it is downloading, as it's supposed to? I just spent a week trying to get my Quicktime .mov's to Fast Start, and it just isn't happening, despite everything I try.I had it work ONCE now using QT Pro, but now they aren't working again.
I gave up on QT, and am trying the FLV route using the FLV Player component... which looked promising, but is now giving me the same issue.Clip thumbnails (embedded movies) on my HTML page that don't download until you click play... and when you click play, it starts playing as soon as it has a good enough head start in the load.I've tried Fast Start QT's....as well as external FLVs loaded via a swf with a FLV Player component inside..
I'm pulling in a xml-file with just one result in it. One of the nodes is picture, which contains a link to a picture. This is the xml-file:

I've tested the url, and it's correct. This is how I try to bind the url to the image instance (artistPic), but it's not working. Displaying the artist name does work.
var artist:XMLList = new XMLList(event.result);
artistPic.source = artist.picture;
lblArtistName.text = artist.name;
