I have a problem and I hope that u can help me out. The thing is that I'm going to have several buttons on my page but I want them all to have the same animation or behavior when clicked on. Is it possible to use variables to label objects?

I just exported a FLA file as a quicktime movie in CS4 using the 'animation' setting, and it produced quirky results. A 'ghost' of each object was left on screen, apparently at the point where a keyframe was present in the original FLA file. Don't know how else to describe it, and I don't think there is a way for me to upload the movie for anyone here to see? Anyone experienced this? or know a way round it? I did manage to get it to play right when exported with the 'DVC PAL' type codecs, but the quality was awful. All the other options produced results at least as bad as the first attempt.
View 1 RepliesI would like to improove the behavior of my buttons in this way: i have 3 buttons (pix1, 2, 3)when you roll over each button the color is grey.how can i do to let the color grey when my mouse roll out off each button? for exemple I roll over on pix1 the color become grey and after I roll out of pix1. the color stay grey. It is just when I roll over on pix2 or pix3 that pix1 become back black and pix2 or pix3 become grey.for the moment it is like this : http:[url]......

I'd started a discussion about a problem with a SWF file not loading an XML data file when rendered in a .NET WebBrowser control in a different forum [url]
Further investigation has revealed that if the XML data file is loaded using Action Script 2 (via XML.load()), it works. But if the SWF file in question uses Action Script 3 (via URLLoader.load(), I think), the data file is NOT loaded, UNLESS the XML file is in the same folder as the HTML file.If either SWF file is loaded using Internet Explorer 9, then everything works OK. Are there any know issues (which would be apparently well-hidden from Internet search engines, because we've been beating on those) regarding the performance of SWF + Action Script 3 + .NET WebBrowser?
It's just so weird that there are ways to coerce the AS3 solution to work by moving files (not really an option for what we want to do), and that Internet Explorer 9 has no trouble, but the WebBrowser control (which everyone SAYS "is just a wrapper for IE") does NOT work the same way.

When you open the website and load the contaner with all mc,there is two situations:
1) Load perfectly and my container 3D effect is not so CPU Intensive and works smooth
2) My container with all _MC is very slow and eatin the CPU. The 3D effect is totally screwed up. The container is scaling it self all the time on the x-as and y-as.
Open the a new browser and set it to max view (not fullscreen) then open the domein URL...I use Tweener addTween() for the 3D effect... off course if i turn it off its all fine.. But i like this 3D effect so much.
Is it possible to change an object's instance behavior on-the-fly? In other words, can I change the instance of a movie clip object to behave as a graphic through actionscript?
View 2 RepliesI fixed the problem I was having with my TextArea - just as I thought, it was the CR characters throwing off the selection position. Stripping them out fixes everything. Now I have a different problem, though.My program needs to save text files as well as open them, and on a Windows machine, linebreaks are indicated with CR+LF: Wordpad is smart enough to recognize lone LFs as linebreaks, but Notepad isn't (and even then, saving the file in Wordpad will reinstate all the missing CRs). Is there any way I can detect what linebreak system is used by the OS so I can save files properly?

Has anyone else noticed this odd behavior? It's too distracting and unprofessional-looking to leave the way it is, but I'm not sure what my alternatives are if I want to include links in the text (which is imported from an XML file).
this is in Flash CS3. EDIT: If I don't embed the fonts, the "problem" goes away; however, I'm left with non-embedded fonts.
[URL]I've read/viewed this tutorial and I want to tweak its behaviour to suite these requirements:
- Carousel must be static unless one of the icons are clicked.
- When an icon is clicked, the carousel must rotate until the clicked icon is on the center of the carousel (6 O'clock of the circle) then it will stop there.
Why are `MOUSE_OUT` events handled differently for X and Y mouse moves when leaving a Sprite?How do I fix this in my code?
`MOUSE_OUT` occurs when `x==0`, but not `y==0` (you need to go to `y==-1`):
Code:
private var _sp:Sprite;
public function test( ):void
{
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
[code]....
Here is a trace from moving straight up, with `MOUSE_OUT` on -1 ...
mv -- 7, 3, 17, 13
mv -- 7, 2, 17, 12
mv -- 7, 1, 17, 11
mv -- 7, 0, 17, 10
out -- 7, -1, 17, 9
And here is a trace from moving straight to the left, with `MOUSE_OUT` on 0 ...
mv -- 3, 7, 13, 17
mv -- 2, 7, 12, 17
mv -- 1, 7, 11, 17

I know the Loader's class unloadAndStop() supposes to unload and stop everything on a SWF's stage when I load one, but does it also changes objects within the library (even if they are not on stage?).I'll tell my problem to clear it up. I am loading SWFs dynamically into my application and extract required symbols from them using applicationDomain and getDefinition. The stage of the SWF/FLA I am loading is empty, and all I have are exported symbols in my library.
The problem happens when I load symbols which have pre-compiled clips inside of them (in my case, a Partigen emitter, but I don't think it really matters), which probably has event listeners or timers - the code on these clips stops working and acts weird. I assumed unloadAndStop removes a required event listener from it, but not sure why (again, it's not on the stage). I am forced to use unloadAndStop on my loaders, since my designers put all their assets on the stages in numerous FLAs and now going back and changing it will cripple the company's work.
I'd write my own kind of unloadAndStop that filters these pre-compiled clips or checks what's truly going on there, but I am pretty sure that unloadAndStop does things which are unavailable through the API.
I've created a text field, styled it with CSS imported through an XML fragment, etc., and almost everything works as it should.
The exception (of course!) is with <b> and <i> tags. I've included the relevant font outlines in my SWF, and the bold or italicized text does in fact show up, but here's the thing: sometimes, the space between a word and the opening <b> or <i> tag disappears!
My text is all read in through XML <![CDATA[]]> blocks. If I had the following fragment:
Code:
<![CDATA[This is <b>bold</b> text. And this is <i>italic</i>.]]>
The output might looks like this:
This isbold text. And this isitalic.Or it might looks like this:
This is bold text. And this is italic.
The problem is that the behavior changes according to the alignment of planets and phases of the moon or something I don't know. I tried forcing an extra space between opening tags, which would correct it in the instances where the space is deleted, but it adds an extra space where it's not!
URL...my flash buttons looks different on different systems, even if they have the same operating system the text is too big sometimes, which causes it to be truncated if this occurs on a system it occurs in both firefox and internet explorer.i cant have this! even if i make the test really small, it will mess up the justification my uncle told me it was because java was not installed, but installing it or updating it doesnt seem to make a difference
View 4 RepliesI created a button that once clicked an input box will pop-up.

View 4 RepliesIn the root of my swf i have 2 mc files "menu" and "mask". Mask has inside a vector gradient, while menu is a vertical scroll-able menu, then the mask makes a fading effect on top/bottom. The code:
Code:
stop();
_root.menu_mask.cacheAsBitmap = true;
_root.menu.cacheAsBitmap = true;
_root.menu.setMask (menu_mask);
Inside the menu i have, on first frame, the code for scrolling ( and some functions cause the buttons are duplicated from info on a xml file). The code:
Code:
stop();
var yPos = -23;[code].......
The Problem: If i Scroll the buttons all way up, the mask transparency parts looks like to move right (not the whole mask, just the transparency points). If i set no transparency for the mask, this problem doesn't show up.
I am planning to build a web page where external buttons using javascript commands like this <a onClick="javascript:LoadSWF( 1 ) ...>< img ... > and their code would instruct a SWF parent object ( embedded in the html code ) to load the desired interactive SWF child ( and replace a previous SWF child ) within it, where the user then could play with it.
My doubt however is, can a SWF embedded object receive external instructions from javascript code ? If so, how ?
I'm using AS3. I have a timeline with 12 labeled frames (page 1...page12). On frames 1 to 10, I have 3 objects that users can drag and drop onto matching places. There is a timer (60 seconds) and a counter. Users should match 15 objects correctly. If so, they go to frame 12 (congratulations!). If not, they go to frame 11 (Sorry, try again), which returns them to frame 1 (page 1).
ISSUE: When users drag an object (mouseDown) and don't release it when time is over, the dragged object remains on the screen. When users go to frame 11 and game starts over, the object remains throughout the entire game.How can I get rid of the dragged object that isn't dropped when the time is over?Here ism y code:
// TIMER
var time1:int=60;var myTimer1:Timer = new Timer(1000, time1);[code]..................

View 2 RepliesThe current implementation of the Flash Player ApplicationDomain with regards to override class definition seems like a giant security flaw to me.A parent SWF has complete control over what child SWF they want to load and add to its ApplicationDomain. It stands to reason that if the parent trust the child SWF enough to load the file, it should also trust the class definition defined by the child SWF and use those definitions.
In contrast, a child SWF has no control over where it is being loaded into, or if it want to be loaded into another SWF at all. Therefore, there is no reason for the child SWF to trust the class definitions defined by the parent SWF.I recommend changing the current implementation of the ApplicationDomain and allowing a child SWF to override any conflicting class definition in the parent's ApplicationDomain.
I have a Tree Control inside my Flex Application which I want to edit on a doubleclick on a tree item. I found the properties doubleClickEnabled="true", doubleClick="startEditMode()", and editable="true". With these functions I can detect a double click and I can change the editable property to true based on a double click. The problem is that after I double clicked on a Item i have to click once more to really enter the edit mode. That doesn't seem to be intuitive at all

I'm not sure exactly where this is happening, but what I'm trying to do is make a scrolling ticker using flex, and it works fine when there is one of them on the screen, but when there are two, strange things happen.The way I have designed this for live updating, when the child of my hbox goes off the screen, I remove it and add another child to the end of it.This happens to reset the X position of the hbox, which isn't too bad, but it also resets the X position of any other hbox I have on the screen.Here is code that demonstrates what I'm seeing:
To use this, run the flex program, then click in the first hbox to set its x position to your mouseX. When the x position of the second hbox (hbox3) is reset, so will the first hbox's (hbox2) X position.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application creationComplete="addToBoxes()" xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical" >
<mx:Script>[code]..............
How can I prevent this from happening, or what is a better way to make an updating ticker like I am trying to do?
I'm having this problem of adding an image to the textArea in RichTextEditor (RTE) on the fly and this image seems to "reset" the html properties of the textArea.
Better explained:
The user starts writing something in the TextArea (with Verdana in size:12 font settings). When he adds an image to the text area, the cursor right after the image gets very small and the font settings are reset to HUM777B in size:2.
How could I avoid this behavior?
It seems Flex adds additional HTML code before the image tag. If there was any way to avoid this I would be able to add my own settings to the tags.

I build Flex applications. One of them shows slides.They're swf's loaded dynamically from a remote server at run-time.My slides are both re-sizable by the end user and animated.This is easy on the PC with all the Flash support.For the iPad I use the Adobe Flex IOS packager.Gets me just about everything I need - except swf's dynamically loaded at run-time.Apple's terms of service do not support it.So I'm relegated to flattening slides into static images which don't scale well when users re-size them and obviously don't show animations.
If I built a native IOS app with XCode I could probably achieve this with KeyNote or something alike.Don't have the time or resources.Has anyone knowledge of a sneaky way to achieve this aesthetic via the Flex IOS packager? Is there some inventive way to sneak swf's in or use another image format like animated gif's or something else I'm not thinking of that might scale well?
I want to create a block game where you can drag blocks. I'm looking for the friendliest drag behavior. It should only move horizontal or vertical, and 1 block position only. It should snap (ease to desired target position), cause you cannot release it in the middle (in between blocks). It should kinda behave like an iPhone switch button, but in a cross. I have tried to do it by check the angle of the mouse to the original position of the block, to check which direction it should move. I want it always to go move through the center (original position). I mean; it cannot animate from the left position to the upper position, it should animate to the center first.The blocks are top-left aligned and there is spacing between the blocks.
UPDATE:This is my current code. It currently moves into upon the direction, but doesn't animate to the point.
