i have a comboBox that has a defined fontSize for the choices inside which is 10, (myComboBox.fontSize = 10. How can i change the initial value, label I'm guessing, to be a fontSize of 10 as well?
View 2 RepliesThis is in AS2 and should really be quite simple. I have a populated list box control that may or may not have an item selected. When the user enters some data in one of the data fields on the screen and then moves to another field, a database access is performed which returns some data which is used to populate other fields on the screen.
As part of this the item in the list box is selected based upon a code returned from the database. All so well and good. However, I cannot get the list box to move it's 'display window' to the position of the selected item. Ie I want the selected item to become the first item displayed in the list box. (Note: NOT the first item of the list box...
I'm attempting to draw a text box on the screen. If I assign width and height to any value, as in the code below, I don't see anything drawn. Why is this? What is the use of width and height? Adobe's docs say it's the width/height of the sprite in pixels. Why would that occlude or prevent the drawing of a textbox or another box? I assumed the width/height would set the area that this sprite could be drawn upon, but based on this, I'm probably wrong.

I have two movieclips in the centre of my stage. One is on top of the other and fade's between them using left/right buttons.I want to change this so that they slide in like a jQuery slider does. I don't want to change the initial position of the movieclips (on top of each other) just change the fade effect to a slide in.
View 1 RepliesI have two movieclips on the stage mc1 and mc2,the navigation for mc2 and mc1 is in mc1 as as3 and MovieClips suddenly now that I've added some tabs into mc2 (new layer, no instance names yet) the navigation code in mc1 has stopped working,if I change the initial stop command to a later frame in mc1 I can navigate back to the first frame and then to one other place in the menu but after moving away from the first frame I can't seem to get any of the buttons to work, its only if the stop command is on a later page that those buttons will workon the main timeline i'm using;
ActionScript Code:
stop();
mc1.stop();

I can't seem to find a way to get more than the initial set of 4 stage3Ds provided by flash. I have tried instantiating a new one using it's constructor and then adding it to the stage by simply pushing it to the list stage.stage3Ds.push(new Stage3D());
but this doesn't seem to be working as my eventListener for the Event.CONTEXT3D_CREATE is never called (it is if I use one of the default Stage3Ds. workaround or a way to accomplish this?
I have developed some code whereby the positions of objects on the screen are represented by two values and I store all this data in three arrays like so:
Code:
objectName = new Array('flower','boxy','fleawhale','vampirefish','littlefishies');
initialXoffset = new Array('24','83','14','50','40');
initialYoffset = new Array('100,-170','10,50','20,100','50','-200');

I'm using FLVPlayback to display a flv in a swf embedded in html. Autoplay = false, wmode = transparent / windowless. I've got it working (not yet set up the way I'd like, but that's another issue), but the way the flv displays when the page loads is a problem. The controls skin is clearly visible, but the movie frame displays as a white box on a white page, barely visible except for a faint outline.
I guess the white screen simply represents the first frame of the flv. Ideally I'd like to see either a black box or the first frame with meaningful content. Is there any way (say with ActionScript) to advance and stop the flv to a particular frame? Or is there some other way to not see a white box here?
See attached screen grab detail. If it helps, here's my html.

I have the following code:
Code:
for(var i:int = 0; i<buttons.length; i++){
buttons[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myFunction);
}
[Code]....
I would like to add a code that would add an initial call to the function myFunction, but because it is listening for a MouseEvent, it has to wait until a MouseEvent happens (CLICK)
I thought that I could add a parameter to a function call like this:
Code:
myFunction(e:Event, buttons[0]);
but that did not work.
If I have a textfield instanciated from the document class with a base .string set as for example "4444" and BEFORE adding it to stage, I change the .string value to say "1234", when I test the swf, I can see the 4444 for a very short time changing for the 1234.I didn't change the value after adding to stage so I don't get why the display number is changed after being added to display.How to force it to add to stage (display itself) only once the initial changes to his properties are done?
View 3 RepliesI've been trying to solve this problem for a number of days now but I must be missing something.
Known Variables:
vi = Initial Velocity
t = Animation Duration
d = Distance.
end velocity should always be zero
The function I'm trying to create: D(0...t) = the current distance for a given time
Using this information I want to be able to create a smooth animation curve with varying velocity (ease-in/ease-out).
The animation must be able ease-in from an initial velocity.
The animation must be exactly t seconds and must be travel exactly d units.
The curve should lean towards the average velocity with acceleration occurring at the beginning and the end portions of the curve.
I'm open to extra configuration variables.
The best I've been able to come up with is something that doesn't factor in the initial velocity.
I've set-up a menu using the actionscript below tracking bt up / down states (credit - thanx Barn:[URL]..
But I'd like to adapt the script to have the home button (mvcBtn0) initially set by default to the down state - and then revert to the up state as soon as another button is pressed.
I've tried various adaptions sending the clip to down state on load and then the up state once another button is clicked - but none are working.

View 0 Repliesi am doing a photo album type site where all photos (which are movie clips) appear small and when clicked they enlarge. when the enlarged photos are clicked the movie clip continues and they go small again.
as you'll see from the code below i am doing this by basically saying if the photo is small, play the movie clip from frame 2 which enlarges it until a stop value at 30, and then change the variable value. if the photo is large and then it is clicked play the movie clip from 31 to a stop action at the end and then change the variable value.
everything is working fine except i am not receiving the initial value of the variable "picbtn_position" which is set on the main timeline to value "mainscreen". can anyone help me as to what is going wrong here? maybe i have to do something else to get a variable value from the main timeline to the mc.
here is the code on my movie clip:
on (release) {
if (picbtn_position == "mainscreen") {
trace(picbtn_position);
gotoAndPlay(2);

and here is the code on my main timeline for the initial variable value:
var picbtn_position:String = "mainscreen";

I have a if statement that first checks to see if the enter key is pressed. Although i cant figure out how to to nest futher statements with in that initial statement. At the moment I'm checking for an enter keypress like so:if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER))I suppose immediately after i want the script to see if a a textboxes variable is empty or not.IF its empty run x code.IF it has content run y code.Seems straight forward enough but i cant seem to figure out how to nest them under the first Enter key IF check.

I have a Flash animation that loads a quick animation and then on a button click loads and external swf while at the same time moves the playhead on the timeline to frame 2 so that it has a blank stage to play on. The external swf then loads and plays. At the end of the external swf's animation I would like it to unload and then return to frame one of the containing movie. I am assuming that on the last frame of the external swf I should be putting some actionscript that will unload the movie and then talk to the initial containing flash telling it to return to frame 1.
The main swf button that loads the external swf is using a code snippet from the AS3 CS5 library and looks like this...
[Code]....
It is also using gotoAndStop(2); for the same button.
So to unload the external swf and return would I use something like... this.unload(gotoAndStop(1));
