how can i make it so that the viewer can only click on one object MC and not multiple ones. When the click the MC, i have a function that happens, but i only want one MC able to be selected at once, not all of them.so, if one is clicked, then another is clicked.. it needs to reset the first one etc. hopefully this explains clear enough the concept.
View 2 RepliesWell, I've been using flash a while, but I just ran into a newbie problem.. I must have hit some sort of hotkey, but I can't figure out how to undo it or anything in the preferences. Anyways, I'm running Flash CS4 and normally when you draw a shape and select that shape it selects the fill and it looks like little dots all over the shape when its selected. Now when I click on a shape it has a border around it and I can't just select a piece of the shape. Also, what's bothering me is that when you draw two shapes on top of each other, Flash used to merge those shapes automatically, but now they are staying separate unless I manually Union them. It still says they're drawing objects, its not converting them to symbols or anything, but they are kind of acting like symbols in the way I can interact with them. How can I turn this setting off?

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to find a generic way to select everything on the stage, because when I leave a frame, I want everything to fade out. But the user will be leaving multiple frames, so I would like to do it without specifying various objects depending on what frame they're on. I realize there are a lot of ways to "skin this cat", and I will fall back on something else if this isn't possible.
When I try this, I get an error, "undefined *".
Code:
stage.*.alpha = 0;
In Ruby, I would like to select a default object for a block. An example in Actionscript is:
[Code]...
I have a couple of objects on the stage and want the user to be able to select one and then use a common set of buttons (with functions attached) to change the selected object's color, rotation, size, etc.
I've got the functions worked out, and can apply them easily as along as I hardcode the object instance names in the functions. However, I can't figure out how to allow the user to select a particular object and then pass the instance name of the selected object to an appropriate function.
How can i select a object at random from 40 generated objects?

Flex 4 Combobox is extended with a Text Input that helps in getting to the item that is searched for.I have created a Check Box as an itemrenderer for this Flex 4 Combobox. I would like to Add a Select All and Select None options in the drop down of the Combobox. I know that i could accomplish by editing the dropdownfactory in case of a Flex 3 Combobox. But in Flex 4 the dropdownfactory doesnt exist.

I currently have a list that I'm using to hold text so when an item in the list is selected the text is displayed in a text box along side it. I want to have the first item in the list to be pre-selected so the text for that item is already in the textbox when it is loaded.
View 1 RepliesI've got some dynamic text fields that have tabindex properties on stage.
There are some V2 components in the swf as well, so there is an instance of the FocusManager running.
I've got a pause button that I use to pause the playback of some other animations that are playing.
When I click the pause button I would like to have the focus go away from text entry fields (if they have it).
Is there a way to tell the FocusManager that nothing should have focus?
Selection.setFocus(null)
FocusManger.setFocus(null)
None of those work.
There is also an off-stage dummy text field that is used to capture focus for some other stuff in this file, but that doesn't work either.
The content that gets paused is variable and could have all kinds of designs and layouts, so having it respond to some kind of pause event is out. I need it not to be aware of the pause state. I just need the pause state to grab focus.
I have 75 frames in an animation. I have about 6 layers. I am trying to put a stop statement on the last frame.
Every time I open the Actions window it says Frame 1 even though the playhead is positioned on the last frame.
How do you place a stop comand on the last frame and which layer do I need to select?
Though, on one of the simplest things though I can not have the flash file select the XML files. It will select the first but will not continue with playing the rest of the songshere is my AS and XML files.
Code:
// Load XML Songs
var xml:XML = new XML();
[code].....
My Flash designer is reading an XML stream I'm sending back to the browser (I'm a C# dev). We have this working fine.
He is then selecting into an XMLList where a element has its id a certain value i.e. . This is also working just fine.
In this XmlList, are Events, that look a little something like this:
event
startdate
enddate
end event
I don't know how to use the formatting here - but each of those items is an element. startdate would have a value such as 04/02/2010 and enddate 6/30/2010.
Now, from this XmlList I do have of Events, I need to select all Events where a new variable myDate, falls in between the startdate and enddate.
I'm working on a tree component using a XMLLIST as a data provider.
<list>

I need to select a nested node by the property 'menuItemId' without knowing the index.For example, select the item with the menuItemId 4.
I'm sure this is a easy one but I've been searching for a while how to select a DropDownList element with actionscript. In this scenario, I'd like to be able to specify the selectedItem based either on ddlLabel or ddlData
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

View 3 RepliesI'm completely new to Flash and this forum, so please take 'er easy! I have spent the last several days on lynda.com and searching the internet for various tutorials and trying to get a crash course in AS3. Here's my question:
I am working on a project with multiple FLV's where the character is traveling along a path, and gets to a certain point where the movie pauses and the viewer selects from several options where the character goes next. It's actually a kayaking going down a river and at each rapid the viewer selects which line he's going to run, but that's irrelevent.
At first, I thought I would do this in one long FLV using cuepoints, where I'd use an event handler to pause the video at a certain cuepoint and display button's presenting the options. The button's would skip the video to the appropriate cuepoint down the line in the video and it would continue. It would be one ridiculously large FLV file though, so I don't think this is the route to go.
Then I realized, I could just chop each "option" or "route" up into smaller FLV's. Then, the character is going and the FLV ends when the viewer is presented with their "choices." At the end of the video, I'd like to have the last frame of the video remain on the screen (simulating a pause) and the options buttons pop up so the viewer can select where the character goes. The button's then link to the appropriate FLV correlating with the viewers selection. [code]...

View 3 RepliesMy code is supposed to read an XML file, and present a question with 4 possible answers to the user. I am outputting my data fine, and even outputting corresponding radioButtons for my multiple choice question. I must be handling my radioButtonGroup incorrectly as when I test my movie, I can select 1, 2, or even all of my buttons. My trace statements outputs each button with the same group name.

Is there a way to 'select' (so the flickering cursor appears) an input box when you load the frame?
View 1 RepliesI messed up some the timing in some parts where there needs to be audio, and I don't want to go to the very back of the timeline and make all my frame sequences fit the audio that way. I want to select all the clips from one point on, drag them back until the audio fits, and then go to the next part the audio doest fit and do the same. Unfortunately, I've spent at least 20-30 minutes googling and trying different things in Flash that haven't worked.
How can I select all the clips on the timeline before a certain point so that I can drag them all back a few seconds? (Without having to shift click all my clips, obviously).
I have 5 movieclips on the stage. I also have a color picker. I would like for the user to click on the movieclip they want to change the color of. The color picker will change the color of the movie clip that the user has selected. Another feature that would be nice would be if the selected movieclip was highlighted or something so the user knows which one is selected. Anyone know if this can be done.
