i have various movieclips working as buttons. if you click on one a pop up appears. the pop up is a movieclip as well and again has a few buttons inside. now, when that pop up is poped up the mcs that are behind it still react to mouseover, which they shouldnt. or at least the user schould not see it.

View 3 RepliesMy setup has several movieclips in different layers. My problem is that .onRollOver, onRollOut and .onRelease functions are still active for movieclips lying underneath. Is it possible to inactivate these functions and then activate them again when it is needed? Or how do I solve this?

I have a window component on my main timeline that gets called up on several instances. When the popup window appears, everything looks fine, except that the user can still click on links that are now behind the actual popup window itself. My question is how do I keep those buttons from being active while the popup window is active?
View 2 RepliesI'm doing a basic site with frame labels on the main timeline whose name corresponds to the btn names. A simple otoAndPlay(evt.target.name); I have a basic navigation setup of 7 mcs with mouse eventlisteners for CLICK, ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT.
Example:
prepare.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);plans.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);retire.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,

Does anyone know a better way to do this so when my mcs are clicked they display the rollover content/art? In essence I'm trying to achieve that when the user clicks a btn it goes to that "page" and the corresponding btn stays highlighted. Pretty standard web navigation technique but I just don't know what the best way to do this in flash is and with how my site is setup.
I decided to post this question as a new thread since my enquiry is altered.
I got this sliding menu attached ("ActiveButtons.zip") that works according to plan. My problem is that I want the buttons to stay active(red) while the corresponding image is in place. Is this doable with a button?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to get the IP address of the computer that's connected to the Internet. I tried this:
var netInterfaces:Vector.<NetworkInterface> = NetworkInfo.networkInfo.findInterfaces();
var addresses:Vector.<InterfaceAddress> = netInterfaces[0].addresses;
var userIp:String = addresses[0].address;
But this code gives me a lot of IP addresses, I want the application itself to determine the IP connected to the internet, so how to do so??

I'm trying to get some buttons to work that I have in a timeline. These buttons are on top of each other and are called to be visible only when a certain image comes up.my problem is the the topmost button is the only one active, because all the buttons are "on" even though you can't see them.currently buttons are set to alpha.0 at the beginning. I know there's a way for them to only be active when they are visible, but I can't find the documentation.I have my code started as such:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.ui.Mouse;[code]..........
then as the buttons come up I bring alpha to 1 over a period of time, but there's some trick to the visibility

Is there a way to access other active windows in AIR?

when a user rolls over a button, the button plays the "open" frame inside the button. When the user rolls off the button, the button plays the "close" frame of the button. When a user presses the button, the button goes to the "dock" frame of the button. Here's the problem : when a user clicks a button, all the other buttons go to their "close" frame when only the button that's previously open when the user clicks a differen button should go to the "close" frame.
More emphatically, a function is needed to check to see if any buttons are in the open state (not a frame 1) when a user clicks a buttons. The way the code is now, when a user clicks a button, all the other buttons go to their "close" frame when only the button that was open should go to their "close" frame. Thus, if any button is not open when a user clicks any button, then, that button shouldn't do anything.

What I want is to have a display box and depending on what button I roll over it displays a different image. I want to use a switch statement.

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to be sure that the swf is being shown to the user? That is, it's not in a different tab of the browser or the user hasn't scrolled the window yet to see the swf.Recently, I was using the commonly-used script checking out the current fps of the swf. I was listening to the ENTER_FRAME event and counting them, so every second I was able to get the fps. And it turned out, that when the swf was hidden in a non-active tab, the fps was like 1 or 2 in some browsers (e.g. Firefox). Now this is some way to determine the "activity", but is there a simpler solution, like a dedicated variable?

View 2 RepliesI have a timeline with several buttons on it - some if these are created at runtime, and some by putting buttons on the page on frame 1 I then have an emptyMC into which I import a swf that COVERS the whole stage. This all works fine - you can't see anything of the underlying material. However, as you "mouse around" it seems that the buttons that are covered are still active - pointer becomes a hand etc. I can disable the buttons using enabled=false. This is quite invloved, and I would have thought that these buttons wouldn't be active - surely they are covered! How is the possible, and is there a neater way to stop these buttons being active.
