ActionScript 2.0 :: Control With A "grabbing Hand" Pointer, But Flash Insists On Making?
May 25, 2004
So, normally the mouse pointer is the arrow. When it's over something with an on(press) event or some such, it turns into a "pointing finger."
Is there any way to force it to change to some other icon? Specifically, I have a draggable movieclip that I'd like to control with a "grabbing hand" pointer, but Flash insists on making it a "pointing finger," which I feel is a little confusing to users. Is this possible at all?

Looking to emulate what flash and browsers do for buttons, switch from the cursor to the pointer hand. It seems to happen to everything seen as a button but I need it to do that on all links. This is for an exe. presentation.

I've got a couple of MovieClips on my stage that use the onRelease event to run a function, this automatically makes the mouse cursor change to a hand symbol when over the MovieClip. That's all good, but I sometimes want to 'disable' my mouse, and when it's in this state I want to change the cursor back to a pointer. This should be handled in my controller, so having a statement around my onRelease function isn't ideal.

I am working on an older Flash project created in CS3 ActionScript 2.0 How can I make the pointer cursor change to the hand when hover over a list item?_root.slidePanel.myList'myList' is the list. I have traced out the contents of the List MC and it has a child MC called 'content_mc'. I assumed this was the object containing all of my list items but the only members of this MC I can see (when tracing them out) are 'setRGB' and 'searchKey'.

I have a swf embedded into a site, and I want the swf to be clickable so when you click on it it goes to another page. I tried wrapping the whole flash object in tags, and that makes it clickable but the biggest problem I'm having is when you roll over it with the mouse the pointer icon doesn't come up, it just looks like the regular arrow. I tried playing with the css and doing cursor:pointer, but it still doesn't work. I can edit the .fla file and add some actionscript 2.0 to it, but I'm not sure what to add or where. I'd rather do it through html or css, but if I have to do it in flash that's ok too. Also, I have an invisible button over the whole thing called, MYbtn

So I stick in this flash drive that me and some coworkers use regularly to transfer files to each other, open up a couple of .fla files and edit some text as neccessary for a project. I save, blah blah blah, get about half way done and hit save.Could not save I:folders]q5.fla.The file may be read-only or already open in another application.Save using a different name, or close the document and try again.Saved, saved, saved, saved, FAIL.What the hell, Flash? Did you forget to lock the document out for your use and something else is nabbing "first open" rights.
Edit:I can narrow down the failure to editing a single movieclip. All of the files I'm editing are based off the same source (they're questions to a quiz, and while not intelligently programmed, its what we have). As soon as I edit the contents of the "B" answer (instance name "choice2" movieclip name boxB) I can no longer save the file with the same name.

[URL]..and I wanted to duplicate the effect and turn it into something.. I don't know, something. I just want to get it to work!
It's been a while since I did AS3 programming, so excuse me for being a bit rusty. I loaded a .mov as a FLVPlayback exported it as movie.swf and in the main.fla I made an URLRequest for the .swf. I then did all the silly math things that strobes it, and it all works out when I have an image, but with the movie.swf I just can't get it to work.
With the image it's just a matter of copying the bitmap and repositioning it. But how do I capture a still of the playing .swf?
I am a little bit lost within all the CopyPixels and BitmatData's and I just can't get it to work.
To make it short:
- I want to load a movie (a .mov in this case)
- I want in every frame to capture the frame of the playing movie and duplicate it/reposition it

What we have is a countdown clock that hits 0 at the start of a global sailboat race. The race start is in New Zealand, our servers are in Chicago. We're using a php script to pull the time from the server in Chicago, but for some reason the clock looks different in each time zone. This is a problem, because if your at the race it will say 10 minutes to the start, but if your in Chicago, it will say 10 hours or whatever it is.Here's the site.
Here's the code, AS2:
Code:
var targetDate:Date = new Date(2009, 1, 20, 19, 15, 0, 0);/*correct start time in chicago time. start time is feb 21, 01:15 */
var currentDate:Date;

I am probably just making a stupid mistake but can someone show me how to do the following... I have a moive clip on _root and another movieclip within several other movieclips. I want the moiveclilp that is in several other movieclips to be able to stop the movieclip on _root on a release trigger. I basically just want to know the proper AS for using one movieclip as a button that stops or plays another movieclip.

I've read some previous post by others, and have got the concept of how to make it happen just need to ask a few specific questions, one is the action script for changing the movie to the cursor and telling it how to move as the mouse cursor, next question is how do i get to act as the mouse pointer for the whole page, for instance I'm using frames I've got my buttons in the left frame, with a banner it the nested top and then the pages of course load in the main frame, how when creating the mouse cursor do i get it to work all over the page? I wasn't sure if using the normal method if it acts through out the whole site or just over a flash movie.

I am tasked with trying to do a slideshow of sorts, and I need to pull the filename of the slide from an xml file and display it, as well as display the appropriate slide notes in a text box.
the xml file they gave me is formatted as below, and with my current code (also below) I'm able to (trace) list all the file names, but I am missing how to address the filename on just one slide � say, slide 1, so I can then load it into a loader.

I have a flash menu that needs to play a different scene depending on which page it is embedded into. So I need the it to grab the URL of the html page it is on and do some simple test on it to figure out what scene it should be on. *For the record, I tried to do it without scenes but the frame jumping started doing some cracked out things
Code: (on a single empty frame in Scene 1) import flash.external.ExternalInterface; var urlPath; urlPath = ExternalInterface.call("window.location.href.toStr ing()"); getURL("javascript:alert('"+urlPath+"');"); if (urlPath == "http://www.awesome.com/Portfolio/portfolio.html"){ gotoAndPlay("Scene 3", "portfoliopage"); } else if (urlPath ==
[code]....
Somehow, my urlPath isn't getting the correct value, and therefore the if-else latter isn't functioning appropriately. I am posting the website on my test server, so the http addresses are correct, and the if-else latter functions perfectly when I just change the conditions to 'true'/'false', so neither is the problem. The problem is that the alert shows me that the value of urlPath is undefined, and so then all conditions in the latter evaluate to false.

Essentially I want to check the profile nodes exist and if theres a profile node with a matching locale attribute (passed via FlashVars), and if not it grab the text of the first node. Anyway heres the code snippet and my XML is below:
function addInfoBubble(countryName:String, countryDataXML:XML):void {
