ActionScript 2.0 :: Text Link Under Movieclip (with Event)
Dec 12, 2009
I have problem with links in dynamic text box. Text is loaded from xml, text field is styled with css attached to it.
Text field is hidden until onRollOver event is triggered, when field scrolls in visible area of the stage.
Everything is working fine excepts click event is never triggered on links, while hover works (links change their color).
Movie clip with onRollOver event is higher in depth hierarchy than text field (they are overlapping). If I swap depth, so text field is with higher depth than movie clip, than on link hover, onRollOver event is lost, and text scrolls back out of the stage...
Is there a way to make link clickable if text is under movie clip with onRollOver event?

quick question regarding the TextEvent:LINK.It stopped working recently when I switched my interface and I'm not quite sure why or how to fix it.I have a movie clip which contains a text area and a scroll handler. 3 of these are added to my interface, although only 1 at a time is active in the display, depending on which tab you click.
All of that works fine, but once I change the chat object (textfield and scrollbar) in the display, it seems to stop working, and I'm not quite sure why. I'm not creating new instances all together, just adding and removing from a parent clip upon clicking different tabs.
what would be or could be causing this? As far as I can tell nothing is over or obstructing the clip containing the text field and scroll bar. The scroll bar actions work fine, which is next to the text field, however there seems to be no action going on as far as clicking links in the text field.
Edit - Textfield is selectable, I know they need to be for the event to work.

I've got a canvas within which I have a list. The renderer for this list calls upon a "Text" field, with the "link" element of this field set to a function. The "htmlText" of the field is set dynamically to a mixture of words and links. Basically the function checks to see which tag within the htmlText has been clicked and performs an event accordingly.However, you have to click the link twice for anything to happen. Whilst debugging the code I noticed that the function referenced by the "link" element isn't actually even called until the 2nd click.
<mx:Text
id="textCanvas"
width="100%"
color="0x323232"
selectable="true"
link="{lbl_link(event)}" />
I've changed the code a little bit to make it easier to follow, but the ActionScript is roughly as follows:
private function creationComplete():void {
textCanvas.htmlText = "Hello <a href='event:username'>" + username + "</a>";
}

When you click on a button and the animation is supposed to play foward or reverse based on which year the user is currently on and which they are selecting. Going forward is no problem However I don't know how to link the button event to the onEnterFrame() event so that when I use the prevFrame(), it will play in reverse at the same frame frequency as going foward. This is the code I have now.It goes back to the frame that it's supposed to, but the animation is not at the same speed as going forward. I goes back as fast as the code can loop.
function frm94to93 (event:Event):void{ while (currentLabel != "Frame1993"){ trace(currentFrame); prevFrame(); }

I am very very novice to actionscript, so probably my question will sound a little silly.I am trying to put an arabic text to scroll with a custom scrollbar. So I found a nice video in youtube about doing that with a dynamic text field. It works wonderful for latin characters (left to right and separated letters) but unfortunately not for arabic characters (they don't get connected). Actually, I don't care to use just a movieclip with the text instead of the dynamic text field. But I don't know how to change the actionscript code for the movie clip instead of the dynamic text field.
Here I show you the code for the scrolling text in a dynamic text field (it's a short code), on the stage I got just the dynamic text field (instance name: texto_txt), the scrollBar (a vertical line, instance name: scrollBar_mc) and the scroller itself (a little rectangle, instance name:scrollHandle_mc):

How can I get a button inside a movieclip link to a frame in another movieclip on the scene? I tried this code:
function gotoCenter(event:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(root).centermc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
skruetest.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoCenter);
..where "skruetest" is the button, "centermc" is the movieclip where I want to go to frame 2. I don�t get errors with this code, but nothing happens when I click the button. What can I do?

I would like to underline a link in a TextField when the user rolls over it and return it to its normal state on roll out.
Does anyone know of any way to access the rollover event for links displayed as htmlText? Flash player is able to recognize the event, as the cursor is changed to the hand cursor when hovering over a link. However, I have been unable to access this event. I do not want to add a listener for a rollover of the entire TextField, just the link.

I'm attempting to create a gallery viewer similar to the Apple on here: [URL]. Where the slide indicators are linked with the forward and back arrow controls. What I have is my forward and back arrows controlling the content, newsHolder MC. I also have the dot indicators controlling the newsHolder MC correctly. How to link the forward and back arrows to sync with the dot indicators?
PHP Code:
function dotPressHandler (e:Event):void {
changeIt(e.currentTarget.id);
//current selection history code
if (currentButton) {
TweenMax.to(currentButton.dotCenter, 0.25, {removeTint:true, ease:Expo.easeOut});

I dowloaded and played with the following scroller on this site... [URL] I see where the text is under Actions but I'm wondering if I can input hyperlinks and email links as well or will I only be able to use this with plain text. If formatting and links are allowed, how can I input the text to show as a link. Sorry, I don't know much about flash and just trying to make a simple text box with scrolling capability that will allow hyperlinks, bold, etc...

I have an AS3 flash movie and each page is a new frame. On my pages are dynamic scrollable text boxes that I created with the text tool. I would like to be able to make a piece of text a link (ex. click here for prices) so that it will direct the view to another page (label). I cannot figure out how to do so.

I'm having a little trouble using URL links in text. If I select a part of the text and give it a URL link (I'm using mailto: links here), strange things are happening to all the text in that text box at runtime in some cases the leading changes, other times some or all of the text disappears. But it only happens at runtime, so I have no way of knowing if or how to compensate. And simply removing the offending link or linked text doesn't fix the problem once the link has been created the only way to fix it is to create a new text box with no links.

I have a movieClip button in my library that I dynamically add multiple instances of to the stage using code (so each instance has a unique name). The button has two frames, so it has a basic rollover effect (just changes color. To make the rollover work, I've had to dynamically add an event listener to each new instance of the movieclip, which triggers the rollover function.
I was wondering, instead of adding an event listener each time, can I somehow have an event listener within the movieclip to take care of the rollover? Or will it not make any difference to the number of event listeners, as it will still add a listener with each new instance of the clip?

In my main AS, I am using a MovieClip as a Container despite of the stage. In another AS file, I want to take the Container as a reference as well as addChild (such as bullets etc) to it, but I really don't know how to write the code.
If I only addChild in the current (sub)AS, it's working, but it's just a problem to removeChild.

I'm teaching myself ActionScript and the book I'm reading just got into input text capabilities. The book shows me how to link input text to a variable and output that text to the output window using trace. My question is: how can I display the text that the user input onto the actual movie. For example... if I wanted the visitor to type their name into the input text box and click Submit and then a phrase shows up with their name such as "Hold on Name, my site will be done soon." How do I reference that variable and have it actually display in my movie?

I'm just picking up flash and I am trying to make a new menu of buttons in the template and I will be changing the menu that is already there, but it isn't using conventional menu coding. This is the piece of code I am trying to use for my button to lead to a different movie clip to a different frame than the one the buttons are sitting in, a separate movie clip.
stop();
customhms_btn.addEventListener('click', function(e:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop('customhomes');
});
Of course there are more buttons, this is just one. Customhomes is the frame label, customhms_btn is the instance name. It tells me that customhms_btn is not defined. I have this code sitting in the movie clip that the buttons are in by itself in the first layer.
