I got this:
Code:
X25 = "<a href="asfunction:myClick">Show Box</a>";
box._visible=false;
function myClick() {
box._visible=true;
}
Where X25 is the name of a dynamic text field variable (not instance name).
What I really need is for a rollOver action - you need to physically click the text box for it to work and I need that for another action
I have create a TextField over a button inside a movieclip and when I roll over the part of the button where the TextField is the rollover is not registered. Is there a way to prevent the mouse from seeing the TextField so the rollover just happens? I've set the selectable parameter to false, but that hasn't fixed it.
View 3 RepliesThe back button in my flash project becomes unresponsive untill I move the mousecursor only a pixel in any direction. Strangely enough it works fine for links that are in the flash file like the navigation buttons on the left side, but becomes unresponsive as soon as I call an asfunction from within the XML file.Its quite complicated to explain. Maybe its just best that I show the flash file and let you see for yourself.

This is what you need to do in order to reproduce the problem.Open the swf named "hometestback.swf "in the swf folder.Click on "sitemap" button at the top (the XML data page is loaded into the textpane) Click in the textpane on the "partner benefits" link (its the first link under "company title") The new XML data is loaded. Now hit the back button (the little arrow next to the company ::partner benefits title) And the page will go back to the previous "sitemap" page. However If I click on the backbutton again without moving the mouse nothing happens. (it should move back to the first page)Well you can see the overstate of the button but the button functionality is never started.
In the debugger I can't reproduce the problem, but when playing the movie as a test its still there.I tried making different buttons. So they would load a different instance of the button and the swf would be forced to load a new button on every page it landed.I tried onPress, onMouseDown, onRelease none of it works.I tried creating movieclips with the functionality of a button.I tried mouse event listeners. So the back button would at least detect a new mouseclick.I even tried starting from scratch and recreated the entire site all over again.However no click of the mouse seems to be noticed by the flash player untill I've moved the mousecursor just a little bit.
From within the XML the only thing I call is a function inside the swf.The back button works by inserting the last page the user was on into an array and when pressed the back button moves back to the last page (framelabel) in the array.
I'm currently working on a flashsite and are trying to figure out rollover menu buttons. The site has 6 menu buttons and are placed next to each other. I want to put a rollover action on the buttons, that when you rollover a button that the whole button image enlarges and moves in front of the other.
View 1 RepliesI want to rollover a button and have it trigger the rollover state of another button. The buttons overlap. The one on top is transparent and smaller than the bottom button. So far I think I have the AS3 to handle the rollover of the top button, but I don't know how to trigger the other button's rollover state.

I've tried to create this rollover navigation...starting over 6 times already. Is there different language / coding for 1.0 and 2.0? I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
The animation/rollover works well but it still abruptly stops when I rollover another button. The link below is an example on what I want to accomplish.
View 1 RepliesI have created a loop with 5 textfields (with 5 different names). The textfields autosizes and are in an array, so i can place every textfield as i want.
- But how do i create rollover and click events to these textfields?

This is for a menu only with text - no graphic.

I have a movieClip that I use as a background which sits underneath two textFields that are dynamically generated... I have added MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER and MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT to that movieClip so that I can change the alpha value to fade in/out the background...
The problem is when you directly rollOver on top of the textField which prohibits the MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER happening on the background movieClip...I tried to set the selectable to false on those textFields, but that did not have any effect...
[code]on myMC movieclip contains a textfield output.is this the correct way to change the colour for the text?is there a way to change the background color of a textfield without borders?

View 4 RepliesI have a pretty large which was coded using AS2 in about 2006 so I'm trying to make a few changes using AS2 which I'm pretty rusty on. I have a swf which loads an xml file into a textarea in flash and it all works well. I have to link some images which appear in the xml file but those images have to be links to external sites and that is where I am running into problems with my asfunction. Here is the code.

I am trying to load text and image through a external .txt-file using the asfunction. So far I have managed to load the text but not the image. (The image is baseline so it should work).
View 1 RepliesTake a look at the following sites; and notice their menus. Both have a rollover and rollout on their buttons, and when the button is hit the button stays down until another button is pressed. In the scissor sisters site, the neon bar still fades out after another has been pressed.

I am trying to achieve this myself with my own site, which you can view in progess here:
My Site
I have mastered the button rollOver and rollOut effect, in which i gathered the code from a kirupa tutorial. My problem is, getting the neon bar to stay underneath teh last button that has been pressed.The main movie is located on the main timeline in frame 2, because frame 1 contains the pre loader.
The actions for frame 2 of the main timeline are:
Code:
stop();
movieLoader.loadMovie("news.swf");
total = movieLoader.getBytesTotal();
loads = movieLoader.getBytesLoaded();
[code]....
Now the buttons are not buttons, they are movieclips, which are located on the stage, and have instance names of b1 for news, b2 for biography etc etcInside the movieclip, the animation of the neon bar fading in takes 25 frames, and this has a stop action on the end.
This code is placed on the first frame:
Code:
stop();
news.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true)
[code]....
So now my problem is to make sure that the last button clicked leaves the underline bar down until the next button is pressed.
I started working on a little page of mine, and I already ran into some trouble hehe. I'm kind of learning as I go along. Heres the script I'm having some trouble with:
ActionScript Code:
this.qmbacking.onRollOver = function() {
//tweens rolling in the menu

Clicking on the html tag with asfunction doesn't work this way. I have to move the function part inside the myTextcontent.myMenu timeline to make it work. Instead of moving the function inside the movieclip which asfunction is targetting I would like to keep it all together. Is this possible? Perhaps some way to add a '_parent' code to ik looks for the function in the same layer as the asfunction line? Or some html back slashing so it moves up the 'tree' so it finds the function in the same timeline?
<a href='asfunction:loadText,"+msgA[0]+",,"+msgA[0]+newline+msgA[1]+newl ine+msgA[2]+'Contact: '+msgA[3]+"'>"+msgA[0]+
How do I make "Contact" appear as Bold text?
when my asfunctions are called from text loaded in from xml, it stops my up and down scroll buttons working properly (when you click on the scroll button and then release it, you have to move the cursor by at least 1 pixel before the button will work again).

View 4 RepliesI have had a look at this link:And this is exactly what I need to be able to click on an image wrapped in an <a> tag which comes from my XML content.I have added my image, added the <a> tag to the image and when I fire it up in AS2 and mouse over the image, the mouse cursor changes to the hand as is meant to.I've added my function, which when clicked on, should call a trace to check that it's working and it's not happening and no doubt it has something to do with the path of where my function sits. I have moved this around now to several places without any joy.If I test this on the root, in a simple scenario, it works. My page however sits on the 6th frame of the root timeline and this is where I believe things are going wrong.

I am a little confused with the ASFUNCTION. I understand how to use it to call a function from within the swf, but how can I embed a link in the external text file? Is this even with ASFUNCTION? When I use an <A HREF etc it doesn't work. I have searched all over the forums and can't find the answer to this really simple question. Also, one other thing. Is there a good character map somewhere for UTF-8 encodings? For example, I can't seem to get Trademark and bullet points to work.

View 1 RepliesI'm working on a project, and it's going OK. What I want to do is for the user to rollover a button/object, and a little pop-up box will show up, and it will have some text/photos/... Pretty routine stuff. That I can accomplish without a problem...
Now, what I want to add in there is also a hyperlink that will open a Web page in a new window. And that's where I get stuck. It won't let me.
I assume it's because part of the rollover thing in the button symbol. That's how I'm doing it so far.
So, is there anything I can do going that route, or do I need to take another approach?
I'm thinking the other option would be to create a movie clip, which would hold the pop-up box and the photos and the like, then make a button within that which would hold the hyperlink. Then, I could create an object right on the timeline with a rollOver that would trigger the movie-clip instance.
Im having a problem getting a Rollover to work. I have a picture with an opaque box over it and when you scroll over the opaque box i want it to tween out and the picture become a clickable area...then when you roll off the opaque box returns to it original position. I can get the box to move...but i think i have too many event listeners and its looping. this is the effect im going for.
